Description

UNITED STATES PATENT QFFICE.
CHARLES S. WHIPPLE, OF WATERFORD, CONNECTICUT, ASSIGNOR OF ONE- HALF OF HIS RIGHT TO NATHANIEL A. CHAPMAN, OF SAME PLACE.
IMPROVEMENT IN DEVICES TO AID IN IRONING CLOTHES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 126,915, dated May 21, 1872.
Specification describing Devices to aid in Ironing Clothes, invented by CHARLES Sr WHIPPLE, of Waterford, in the county of New London and State of Connecticut.
They relate to devices for ironing, and for this purpose I have greatly reduced the labor. The larger the iron the longer the heat is retained in it. The great fault is that these irons are so heavy that few women have strength enough to use them. With my devices a large fiat-iron is or can be used with the utmost ease.
My invention relates to the elastic band marked in the drawing C, the band passing through the rings B B. Strap D is made from leather, and passes through the lower ring B down through the holderE,and thence up, connecting the lower end of said strap with the main part of it by a buckle, making the strap an adjustable one, so that it can be elevated or depressed to regulate as to height of ceiling or weight of flat-iron. When the flat-iron is suspended in the rest or holder it should clear the article to be ironed about two inches. The weight of the hand of the operator brings the iron down to the article to be ironed. All
that is necessary to be done is simply to push the iron over the article to be ironed, the elastic band or spring raisin g the flat-iron when the hand of the operative is removed. It can be suspended from the hook A, which hook must be fastened firmly to the ceiling, or from a bracket attached to the side of the room, or in such other manner as the operator may desire to suspend the device.
I claim- The combination of the elastic band or spring C with rings B B, and the adjustable strap D, and the holder E, as and for the purpose hereinbefore set forth.
CHARLES S. WHIPPLE.
