1,057,863 Specification of Illetters Patent. Patented A1313 1 191? Application filed August 5, 1911. Serial No. 642,568.

To all whom it mdyfconcern is not raised above the tops of the inlet- Be it 'knownthat I, LOUIS ports 3. 1 The sides of the deflector are curved downwardly and inwardly, so that most of the air entering the ports is difiused and given a downward direction, and passes beneath and up through the gauze to the fuel from the bottom, thus aifordingthe in- .tensest heat there. In. the construction described a slight space is left between the top of the gauze and the bottom of the deflector, so that a small portion of the air entering strikes the fuel all along the sides of the iron. This arrangement insures combus- -tlon over the entire bottom and lower edges of the iron where it is most needed.

The cover of the iron, at either end, is provided with elevated portions 11, which with the raised points of the iron, form chimneys MAnooLrs, a

ea certain new and useful Improvements in Sad-Irons, of which'the following is a speci-. fication. My-"ihvention "relates to sad-irons which are heated by meansof combustion within known as carbon or charcoal irons.

The object of my invention is to produce an iron which shall be uniformly heated over its entire face and in which the source of heat shall be brought in as close proximity to the face as possible.

A further object of the invention is to provide against the dropping or throwing out of ashes or fuel upon the material being ironed through-the ports by which the air is admitted to the fuel.

T 0. this end my invention consists in the eculiar arrangement, construction and combination of parts hereinafter more fully described and'claimed.

In the accompanying sheet of drawings,, which forms a part of this application Figure 1 is a perspective of the iron, and Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal section. f

The body of the iron is hollow and provides a fuel chamber 1 at the bottomjof which is located lugs 2 which may conveniently be cast integral -with the iron. Slightly above these lugs are arranged on each side, one at each end and one in the middle, air inlet-ports 3, the current of air entering therein being governed by regulators 4 which are provided with knobs 5 The sides of the cover are cut away at 12, so as to fit snugly around the ears 6 to keep it from shuck-ing when the iron is in use. An additional means for this purpose is a ,dependiiig flange 13, which fits closely around the inside of the body of the iron. On one side of the cover is a pin 11k which enters one of the apertures 7-'-7' and on the other side is a pivoted dog 15, which can be 'sivung in and out of the other aperture. The dog may be made tapering, to take up wear and assure a-tight joint. The pin 1% and the iron and permitits ready removal. Risers 16 are 'cast-in tegral with't-he cover and afford convenient aneans for attaching the wooden handled? In operation of the iron the cover is removed and "the desired amount and character of fuel placed in the iron upon the gauze and lighted. The cover is replaced and the regulators l are adjusted in such manner tliatgthe proper degree of heat is maintained for the ironiiiglin hand. WVhen the ironing the'iron may also ben'aised to atlord ajshield con'iplet'ed-"the ports are closed and the against the throwing out of ashes or fuel, 'combustion-eeases. The ashes and unburned should the iron ,be tiltei'l a-nd to eleigatthe' fuel can. then be" removed by simply taking asiiigt-li e'd'raf't Q oif t'lie, coi' er. The gauze, in preventing any '.-g'a'1iz "e 9 foreign'inatter from being thrown onto the fabric ironed, permits the operator to move the iron'bzi'ck and forth at any rate of speed desired; and, further, being very thin and of little substance, absorbs a minimum amount of heat and permits the combustion to be carried on in the closest proximity to the bottom of the iron possible.
