s peomation of Letters Patent.

To all whom tt may concern:

Be it known that 1,' ABRAHAM J. HADDAD, citizen of the United States, residing lat Jackson, in the county of' Hinds and State of vhave invented certain new and useful Improvements inv Sad-Irons, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawhis invention relatesto sad irons, and the principal object of the same is to provide a means whereby steam may be admitted to the interior of the iron and also to provide means so that when desired steam may be admitted into a chamber where it can ass out through the bottom of the iron.

VT is-invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, wherein-` Flgure 1 is a viewl showingthe iron ready for use and having the steam conveying pipe connected with a steam generator indlcated by dotted lines. Fi tional view -throug plan view inner cham 2 is a longitudinal secthe iron. F ig. 3 is a er. Fig. 4 is a fra mentary viewof the bottom of the iron. ig. 5 is an enlarged fragmentary view of the end of the pipe wh1ch, admits steam into the inner chamber. Fig. 6 vis atransverse sectional view through the pipe shown in Fig. 5. Referring to the accompanying drawings y -it will be seen that this iron is intended to -be used forppressing, and is intended to be connected with a steam boiler which is shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1. This boiler may be-of any desired construction, which is suitable for the use, the vo ne shown being typical lof any boiler. The iron 1 is connected to the boiler by means of a flexible tube 2 which may be of any desired material'such for instance as rubber. Steam passes from the boiler through the tube 2 4ing rthrough and into the iron so that the iron isY heated.

The. iron comprises a perforated bottom.

3 andthe side walls 4, andv back wall 5,

l the side walls being parallel for the greater portion vof their length'land being brought together at the front of the-iron. The front f afront abutment secured to the iron by means of screws 9 of the iron is 'reinforced by a thickened portion 6.- The forward end of the iron is provided with an upstanding rim 7 which forms for the cover 8, which is and the end of the flexible artly in section to expose the p larged to provide which enter sockets 1o formed in the. thickfened portion 6 and the upper end of the 5. The rear wall has the upper A rear wall Y Patented Nov. 28,1911.

portion reduced t'o forma ledge 11 which forms a support for the rear end of a dividing plate 12, the front endbeingl supported by a brace 13. This plate12 divides the interior of the iron into anl upperchamber 14y and a'lower chamber 15.

The steam coil 16 is seated within thelupper chamber 14 Aand has one end protruding through an opening formed in the rear wall pipe 2 is-secured to the protrudin end 17 ofthe coil.- The inner portion of t e coil rests upon the plate 12 and extends along one side until it reaches the forward portion of the iron. The coil is then coiled around *as shown at 18 and extends along the opposite side of the iron as shownby the numeral 19 until it reaches the rear end of the iron. vThe pipe is then coiled again as shown by the numeral 20 and is brought forward betweenthe two sections of the coil as shown'by the numeral 21. The forward endv of the coil communicateswith a valve4 housing 22 which extends through an opening formed in theplate 12 and has its upper end provided with a flange 23 which rests upon the forward portion of the steam coil and is thus held in place.

The housin is rovided with a central opening 24 w ich 1s enlarged at its lower end to provide a shoulder 25. A Vvalve stem 26 is slidably mounted within the housing 22 and has a washer 27 secured near its lower end which normally is held in contact with the shoulder 25 and thus prevents the steam from passing out of the housing except when desired.

The cover 8 of the iron is provided with a housing28` which isprovided with an open- 29 which registers with the opening the housing 22 and into which the upper end of the valve stem 26 protrudes. The upper portion of the opening 29 is ena shoulder 30 which forms a bearing for `the coil spring 31 which is seated within the upper portion of the opening. A plunger 32 has its lower portion sekcured'to the upper portion of thevalve stem normally holds the washer 27 in contact with the shoulder and thus prevents the escape -of steam through the opening 34 formed in the side of the housing 22 and which is located adjacent the shoulder 25.

A pipe 35 is secured to the under surface of the plate 12 by means of the bolts 36 and has its neck portion 37 communicating with Y. portion ofthe iron. The lever is provided with a lug 40 at its forward end which contacts with the front portion of the housing and prevents the lever from moving too far forward. The handle 41 of the iron has its rearl portion secured to a' lug 42 formed near the rear end of the cover and has its forward portion secured'to the housing 28. By examining Figs. l and 2, it will readily be seen that the handle-of the lever extends over the front portion of the handle of the iron so that the lever may be readily engaged by the thumb and pressed down so that the plunger is moved within the housing against the tension of the spring 31, and will thus move the Washer 27 away from the shoulder 25 and permit steam to pass through the opening' 34.

In operation the steam npasses through the pipe 2 .and into the steam coil and through the same until it 'enters the valve housing 22. By this means,Y the iron is heated and may be used, if desired,as an ordinary iron is. l/Vhen it is desired to press a coat or any other article, which ordinarily needs to be covered-With a damp cloth, the valve is opened and steam is permitted to pass into the' pipe 35. From here it passes out into the chamber 15 and.

through the openings 43 formed inthe bot.- tom of the iron.- `By this-means the cloth is dampened a sulicient amount and it is not necessary to use a dampcloth. The amount of steam which passes out throu h the bottom of the iron may be regulated by the amount that the lever 39 1s pressed down or, if desired, the valve may be opened only at intervals. It should be rnotedthat the openings 43 are arranged in series and run parallel with the longitudinal axis of said valve housing,

the iron. By this means there is prevented any friction when pressing.

What I claim is y i l. In a device of the character described,- a body portion, means 'for supplying fluid to said body portion, said body portion befing provided with a plurality of compartments, alpipe in one of said compartments, a perforated pipe in the other of-said compartments, a valve connecting said pipes, a handle secured to the top of said body portion, an voperating mechanism for said valve, and a lever for operating said mechanism overhanging said handle.

2. A device of the character described, comprising a body portion, means for conducting tluid to said body portion, a plate dividing said body portlon into a plurality of compartments, a pipe within the uppler one of said compartments, a pipe suspended from the under surface of said plate, a valve connecting said pipes, a cover for said body portion, a housing Aformed upon said cover and communicating with said valve, a handle secured at one end to said cover and at the other end to said housing, mounted within said housing, al valve stem passing through said valve and havin itsl upper end secured to said plunger, an .an

operating lever pivotally connected with said housing and overhanging said handle.

3. In a device of the character described, a body portion, means for conveying iiuid to said body portion, said body portionsbeing provided with a plurality of compartments, a pipe within one of said compartments, a valve housing resting upon said pipe and entering the second comparment, a pipe suspended within lsaid second compartment andl communicating with said valve, a valve stem slidably mounted within l a. cover for said body portion, a housing formed upon said cover, and provided with an opening communicating with said valve housing, a spring within said cover housing, a plunger` passing through said cover housing and secured to 'said valve stem, a cam levenpivotally mounted within said housing and resting upon said plunger and adapted to move said plunger within said housing to open sa'id valve, anda handle secured to said cover and overhanging said handle.

In testimony whereof I hereunto atlix my signature inl presence of two witnesses.
