HERMAN I. BLATTLE, OF FROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO ALEXANDER SELZER, 0F PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND.-
SAD-IRON.
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, HERMAN I. BLATTLE, a citizen of the United States, and resident of the city of Providence, in the county of Providence and State of Rhode Island, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sad-Irons, of which the following is a specification.
rlhis invention relates to means for attaching the shell of a sad iron to its body portion, and has for its object to provide a simple and effective locking device or member for this purpose that may be formed all of one integral piece and to provide sinple and effective means whereby this member may be attached to the shell and held in operative position thereon without the use of a spring and wit-hout riveting one part to another. It is found in practice that where springs are employed in such locking devices that the heat from the iron soon destroys their temper rendering the lock inoperative and worthless, and it is also found that where the lock is formed of two or more parts, and such parts are permanently riveted together that this construction is also expensive and objectionable, but by my improved construction the lock may, while being assembled, be readily removed to be accuratelyT fitted to properly engage the rough cored under face in the body it is required to engage, and after having been so fitted, the fastening of the handle to the shell secures the lock in its operative position thereon, so that when the lock wears or gets out of order, which often happens, it may be readily removed by simply iirst removing said handle and a fresh lock positioued through the aperture in the shell, after which the handle is again replaced and the iron is restored to its original usefulness.
iith these and other objects in view, the invention consists of certain novel features of construction, as will be more fully described and particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
Of the accompanying` drawings: Figure l* is a side elevation of my improved sad iron showing the shell in section and a portion of the body broken away to show the locking means for attaching the shell to the body portion. Fig. 2- is a plan view of the shell showing the position of the aperture therethrough as set in line with the major Speccaton of Letters Patent.

axis of the shell for the reception of the shoulder member of the lock. Fig. 3- is a plan view of the body portion showing the aperture therethrough whose axis is set at a right angle to that of the aperture in the shell. Fig. lis a plan view of the shell illustrating the locking member thereon in locked position and a portion of the handle serving as a stop for the arm, the arm being indicated by dotted lines in its unlocked position. Fig. 5- is a top view of the locking member. Fig. 6- is a perspective view of the locking member.
Referring to the drawing, l designates the body portion of the sad iron which is provided with the usual smoothing surface at the bottom 2, and is also provided with a beading 3 around its lower edge. The upper face of this body portion is provided with an oblong slot or aperture 4 whose major axis is set at a right angle to that of the body, which aperture cuts through into an enlarged cored chamber 5 in the body of the iron, as shown in Fig. 1, whereby suitable shoulders or under engaging surfaces are formed for the purpose of receiving the T- shaped locking head hereinafter described.
At 6 is a shell or casing for inclosing the top and sides of the core or body portion, said shell being` made slightly larger than said body portion and is preferably lined, as at 7, on its inner surface with asbestos or other suitable non-heat conducting material. A handle of any suitable or desired style or construction may be attached to this shell, but I preferably use a handle having a coiled wire gripping surface, as at 8 and the ends of whose arms 9 9 are reduced and threaded and extend through holes 11-11 in the shell and are secured thereto by small nuts lO-lO on the under surface thereof. The upper wall of this shell is provided with an oblong hole 12 through it, the major axis of which is set in line with that of the shell, which aperture is for the purpose of permitting both the locking hea-d and the shoulder member of the lock to be passed therethrough in applying this loclring device to the shell.
The locking device itself is formed of a suitably shaped arm portion 13 having an upwardly extending non-heat conducting handle lt secured to one end thereof and having a downwardly extending pin portion 15 formed integral with the opposite end thereof, said pin having two sets of laterally extending lugs 16 and 17, one set 16 of which forms a shoulder member which is spaced a distance below the plane of the under face of said arm equal to that of the thickness of the shell, and the lower end of said pin is provided with the pair of lugs 17 which form a T-shaped locking head spaced apart from the shoulder member a distance sumcient to pass through the aperture in the face of the iron body and extend into the chamber 5 therein, the axis of both the shoulder member and the locking' head being set in line with that of the arm 13.
ln assembling the parts, after the shell is lined and before the handle is attached thereto, this locking member may be positioned in the shell by carrying the arm in line with the major axis of the shell7 in which position both the shoulder member 16 and the locking head 17 may be passed down through the aperture 1Q. The arm is then swung to one side, which carries the lugs 16 out of alinement with aperture 12 thereby providing a shoulder for engaging the underside of the shell and after the handle is positioned on the shell it will be seen, as illustrated in Fig. 4, that the portion 9 of this handle'forms a stop to prevent the arm from again being swung to a position which will permit its being detached from the shell. The pin 18 serves as a stop for the handle when swung to the release position.
It will be seen by making my improved locking device all in one piece that while being fitted to the shell and core the device may be readily positioned and tried and then removed through the opening 12 as many times as desired. After this proper fitting has been completed and the handle of the shell. connected thereto the shell may be at.- tached to the core by first moving the arm around to a right angle with the major axis of the shell to rest against the stop pin 1S, which permits the lower lugs or locking head 17 topass through the opening 4; in the core, then by moving the arm in the opposite direction the head is caused to engage the upper surface of the body aperture to lock the shell to the body.
It will now be seen by this construction that the locking member may be made all of one piece without the necessity of riveting the pin 15 to the arm 13 and that when the same becomes worn or for any cause inoperative it is only necessary to remove the handle and by manipulating the arm the locking member may be readily removed and replaced by a fresh one again restoring the iron to its original usefulness.
I claim:
1. i sad iron comprising a body portion having an under cut slot in its upper face, a ren'io-vable shell therefor having a slot through its upper wall, a loch having an arm with a handle at one end and a downwardly extending portion at the opposite end, said portion having two spaced apart sets of lugs both being adapted to be passed through said shell opening whereby when turned one set forms a shoulder for retaining the lock to the shell, the other set being adapted to enter the body opening and lock the shell thereto when turned.
A sad iron comprising a body having an undercut transverse slot in its'upper face, a removable shell adapted to be applied to said body and having a longitudinal slot through its upper face, a handle removably attached to said shell, a locking member for securing said shell to said body the same comprising an arm having an upwardly extending operating handle at its outer end and a downwardly extending pin near its inner end7 said pin having an oblong shoulder member attached thereto just below the plane of the arm, and another similar oblongplocling member located at the end of` the pin whereby said locking head may be positioned in said shell by passing said shoulder member through the slot therein before the handle is attached to the shell, the attaching ends of the handle forming a. stop in one direction to prevent said locking member from being accidentally removed from the shell.
ln testimony whereof I ai'liX my signature in presence of two witnesses.
