ELECTRIC IRON.
Snecication of Letters Patent.
Patented J i113r 9, 1918.
Application filed November 2, 1917. Serial No. 199,866.
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that l., MOSES LEVINSON, a citizen of the United St-ates of America, and a resident of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful improvement in Electric Irons, which invention is fully set forth in the following speciication.
The objects of this invention are to produce a neat, compact, comparatively small, yet highly efficient ironingdevice,-as suitable for use in the boudoir or kitchenette as in the hall bedroom, especially for ironing out ladies lingerie and other delicate fabrics, etc., and which can be collapsed and put away in a small receptacle. The new iron, which I have termed the Little Goose, is, in effect, an electric iron cle have.
rl`he present application is filed to take the place of my earlier application, Serial No. 192,368, filed Sept. 20, 1917, in which were set forth andclaimed the features cov ered by the generic claims of the present application.
Among the features of the invention are: locating the electric heating-device between the facemember (which transmits the heat directly to the article being ironed) and a heat-storing member which is insulated from the back-member of the implement; providing a collapsible handle; providing a suitable recess within the contour of the iron for receiving the detachable electricplug connection; and providing suitable electric-insulation and heat-insulation.
Other features of the invention will bev herein more fully set forth and claimed.
The invention is susceptible of expression in various forms. One embodiment is set forth in the following description and the accompanying drawings,.'but merely as an illustrative example, it being understood that the invention itself is defined in the appended claims.
This preferred embodiment is shown in the annexed drawings, in which@ Figure 1 is a longitudinal vertical section through the various parts, shown as sepa.- rated from one another,- and somewhat exaggerated in thickness;
Fig. 2, is aside-view, with the handle part way collapsed;
Fig. 3 is a plan, on a smaller scale, with the handle removed and its connecting-links shown in horizontal cross-section, showingv also the detachable plug slightly removed; and
Fig. 4 is a rear elevation.
In these drawings, 1 is the face-member, of the usual contour for flat-irons, and having a slight beading around its upper edge, and containing the two horizontal binding-posts 2. Upon the top of this member lies a sheet of heat-transmitting electric-insulation 3, of mica or the like. Upon' this insulation 3 lies the electric heatingdevice, such as an elongated horse-shoe 4 of mica, having a ribbon 5 of resistance-mate rial wound around it with its terminals secured to the two binding-posts. Upon this electric device lies another sheet of heattransmitting electric-insulation 6. Upon this second sheet rests a heat-storing body 7, of metal, shaped to conform to the member 2, but of somewhat smaller contour; and, in this particular embodiment, this member 7 is shown as having a central longitudinal slot, near each end of which is pivoted one of the two links 8-8 for the handle. Upon this member 7 lies a body 9 of heat-insulating electric-insulation, such as asbestos (with a similar longitudinal slot to provide clearance for the handle-links). Upon this member lies the back-member or cover 10 (likewise provided with a longitudinal slot for the handle), and shown as having a iange extending downto the facemember 1. All the foregoing parts are suitably secured together, as by two screws 11, that pass through the back-member 10 and are threaded into the face-member 1;
ln the preferred form of collapsible handle, the handle 12 is tubular, with a longitudinal slot along its underside, and an apertured closure securedlin each end. vA.- locking-shaft 13 -is journaled in these apertures, with an external milled-head 14; and near the ends of this shaft are enlargements provided with oppositely-disposed openended locking-grooves (in the nature of coarse feed-screws). rlhe upper ends of the links 8 extend through the slot and into the hollow of the handle, where they are retained, as by a cross-head 15 (being inserted before the tube-closures are secured in place). The extreme top of each link constitutes a locking-projection 16, adapted to enter the open end of the adjacent lockinggroove. By rotating the milled-head 14 in one direction, the projections 16 are forced of other parts, various parts transposed or outwardly and disengaged, whereupon the handle can be collapsed, the upper ends of thelinks sliding along the handle, toward each other (as indicated in Fig. 2), until the handle is entirely collapsed. On raising the handle, it is secured in raised position by turning` the milled-head 14 inthe opposite direction while at the same time lforcing the two links outwardly, so that said locking-projections 16-16 will enter and become engaged in their respective grooves. For convenience in raising the handle, there may be the two depressions 17-17 in the cover 10 and in members 9 and "(f..
Preferably, although the rear end of the face-member may extend straight across,
fthe other members are cut away in substanti'ally a half circle (as indicated in Fig. 3),
to receive the detachable plug 18; and the binding-posts protrude into said cut-away space, vsomewhat like the after-deck guns of a ship; but, if desired, the face-member also might be similarlyconcaved at the rear.
The usual flexible cable 19 is secured to the detachable plug, which has two terminals to engage the two binding-posts. But any suitable form of plug and connections could be employed. l
It will be understood that parts of the invention can be employed to the exclusion inverted, and modifications made, without in any case departing from the spirit of the invention. .f
The invention having been thus fully set forth in detail, but only for the sake of clearness, what is claimed is:
1. An electric iron, comprising face and VVback members, a collapsible handle, and
suitable electric'h'eating-devices located between said face and back members and electrically insulated therefrom.
2. As a new article of `manufacture, an electric iron containing suitable electric heating-means and provided with a recess within its contour for receiving a detachable electric plug, and a collapsible handle secured to sand iron.
3. As a new article' of manufacture, an
electric iron containing suitable electric heating-means and provided with a recess within its contour for receiving a detachable plug, a collapsible handle secured to said yiron, and means for maintaining said handle in raised position. p
4. An electric iron containing suitable electric heatingmean's, a handle for said iron, two links pivoted to said iron and slidably connected to said handle, a shaftjcarried by said handle and having grooves for engaging the upper ends of said links for.
bination of a face-member, a heat-storing member, an electrically-insulated electric heating-device interposed between the two members, a back-member, a heat-insulator for the latter, and a collapsible handle.
8.- An electric iron consisting of the combination of a face-member, a heat-storing member, an electrically-insulated electric heating-device interposed between the two members, al back-member, a heat-insulator for the latter, a collapsible handle, and means for maintaining the handle in raised position.
In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
MOSES LEVINSON.
