TAILORS-GOOSE ATTACHMENT. I

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed April 17, 1912. Serial No. 691,337.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, THURMON H. TALLEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Crow ell, in the county of Foard, State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tailors-Goose Attachments; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the'art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to improvements in tailors goose, and has particular reference to an attachment to be applied thereto for dampening the cloth in advance of the goose.

The principal object of the invention is to provide a depressible and detachable dampening means for the goose, and means supported above the dampening means for supplying water to the dampening means.

Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the following description and with particular reference to the accompany.

ing. drawings.

In the drawings; Figure 1 isa side elevation of a tailors goose having my attachment applied thereto, Fig. 2 is a top plan view, Fig. 3 is a front elevation, Fig. 4 is a vertical section on the line 44 of Fig. 3.

Referring particularly to the drawings, 10 represents a tailors goose, provided with the usual handle 11. posedin front of the handle just above the body of the goose, and has the upwardly extending spring fingers 14, and a central base portion which supports a tank 13 filled with water. Extending forwardly from the lower portion of the bracket 12 is a member 12'. I

An arm 16, formed of a single piece of sheet metal, is provided with the perforated ears 17 which embrace the' member 12 of the bracket 12, and receive therethrough and through the member 12' a pivot pin 18, so that said arm may move upwardly or downwardly. A coil spring 19 is secured at one end to the bracket 12, and has its other end secured to the arm 16, the tendency of the spring being to hold the arm normally in upward position. Secured to the lower end of the arm is an inverted cup 29, in which is held a s onge or other suitable piece of soft material. An opening 30 I is formed in the upper side ofthe cup, and

so located with relation to the nozzle 15, that its opening receives water therefrom, when the arm is swung upwardly on the pivot 18. Pivotally mounted on each side of the member 12 is a clamp wing 20, which wing embraces the forward portion of the handle. Each of the wings 20 has an outwardly bowed arm 31, formed on the end of each of which is a vertical operating stem 32, by means of which the wings may be swung out of engagement with the handle. Secured to the arms 31 is a bowed spring 33 which holds the arms in normal position with the wings 20 in engagement with the handle.

Formed integrally with one of the wings 20 is a tubular bearing 20' through which the stem 21 of an operating rod 23 passes, said rod having on its upper end a button 22 disposed within convenient reach of the finger and adjacent to the grip of the handle. This rod is for depression of the arm 16 and has on its lower end a downwardly curved extension, which is provided with an offset 24 engaged in an opening 25 in the arm 16. The spring 19 normally holds the arm 16 upwardly with the absorbent material in close proximity to the tank 13, and upon depression of the rod 23 the absorbent material will be lowered into contact I with the cloth being pressed. A bracket 12 is dis- In the spout is arranged a valve 26 having a stem 27 projecting beyond the outer end of the spout or nozzle. A spring 28 bears with one end against the valve, and with its other against the upper wall of the spout, an opening being formed in the lower Patented May 6, 1913.

wall to receive the stem 27 therethrough and against the inner face of which the valve is adapted to be normally seated to cut off the water. When the arm 16 moves into its upper position, it engages against the stem of the valve and pushes the same inwardly against the tension of the spring, so that water will flow from the spout on to the absorbent material. When it is desired to moisten the clothto be pressed, the stem 21 is pushed downwardly, which moves the arm 16 down so that the absorbent material comes into engagement with the cloth and the moisture in the absorbent material is readily absorbed by the cloth.

The device is snnple in construction, and may be readily applied to the handle of any sad iron, or tailors goose, and may be removedfrom one goose and applied to'another with a great deal of ease.

'What is claimed is:

1. An attachment for a tailors goose,com-' prising a bracket detachably mounted on the material on its free end, a spring on the bracket engaging with the arm to throw the arm normally upward into engagement with the stem of the valve, and an operating stem vertically slidable in-the bracket and connected with said arm, whereby upon depres sion of the operating'stem the arm will be moved downwardly to bring the. absorbent material in contact withthe cloth to. be moistened.

2. An attachment for a tailors goose com prising a bracket mounted on the handle thereof, a water tank on the bracket, a member on the goose, a spring-actuated pivoted arm on the said member, absorbent material on the free end thereof, said spring holding the arm normally upward, and operating means connected to the arm for depressing the arm 3. An attachment for a tailors goose, comprising a water receptacle having a springpressed valve, a member mounted on the goose movable toward and away from the spring-pressed valve, said member having absorbent material thereon, said member being'disposed normally against said valve to receive water from the tank, and means for moving the absorbent material into engagement with'the cloth being pressed.

In testimony whereof, I afiix my signature, in presence of two witnesses.
