CLAMP FOR IRONING-BOARD cLoTris.
Specification of Letters Patent. Patented June 24}, 1922.
Application filed November 25, 1921. Serial No. 517,609.
cloth holding clamps for ironing boards, or
the like, and more particularly to adjust ably extendable clamps adapted for the purpose of securing a covering or cloth-over the surface of an ironing board.
' The principal object of the present inven- 1 tion is to provide clamps of the above described character that may be easily and quickly applied or removed, which are simple in construction and in the manner of their use, and can be provided at a relatively small cost.
It is also an object of the invention to provide such a clamp comprising a pair of hook holding plates which are fixed to the opposite ends ofa tensioning member, such as a coiled spring, and which have means provided thereon to which clamping hooks, also provided, may be removably and adjustably secured; said hooks being formed with hooked end portions that are adapted to engage a cloth at opposite edges of an ironing board and thereby hold the cloth tightly across the top of the board and properly in lace. p Other objects of'the invention reside in the details of construction of the various parts of the clamp and in their combination and use.
In accomplishing these and other objects of the invention, we have'provided the improved details of construction, the preferred forms of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a cloth holding clamp constructed according to the present invention. j
Fig. 2 is an underside view of an ironing board to which clamps embodied by the present invention have been applied.
Fig. 3 isaTn enlarged cross-sectional view of a board with cloth and clamp applied thereto. Referring more in. detail to the draw- 1ngs ldesignates anironing board, which may be of the usual type, wider at one end than atits opposite end and provided with a covering or cloth 2 which is drawn taut across the .top thereof and extended about an beneath its opposite sideedges.
Since it is undesirable to permanently secure such cloths to the board, because they frequently need to be replaced, we have provided the present type of clamp for holding the cloth removably upon the board. The preferred type *of clamp, as-illustrated in Fig. 1, comprises two elongated metal plates 3 and 3 which are secured by means of back-turned tongues 4, at their ends, to the opposite ends of a coiled spring 5.' Each of the plates has a pluralit of hooks 6 stamped downwardly from its ody portion, whereby clamping hooks 7 and 7 are removably and adjustably fixed to the plates.
Each of the hooks 7 consists of a single piece of stiff wire bent to form two spaced apart fingers 8 and 8 and a connecting portion 9 at theirinner ends having an offset portion 10 wherein the hooks 6 are seated. The outer ends of the fingers have laterally turned hook portions 11 with slightly in-' turned ends 12 which are adapted to engage the edge of the board and to be clamped thereagainst by the tension of the spring to hold the edges of the cloth, which have been drawn over and about the edges of the board.
When using clamps of the above charac- I ter, the cloth is first applied to the board, as
shown in Figures 2 and 3, and the clamps applied across the under side of the board with the ends of the hook members 7 seated lover the opposite edges of the board. as is shown in Figure 3, with the slightly inturned ends 12 engaging the cloth to prevent any possible slippage of the cloth or of the clamp from position. By adjusting the hooks 7-7' .to engage the proper hooks 6 of the plates 3 the desired tension may be placed on the hooks 7, thereby adapting he 'hooked into the cloth as is now usually done.
It is readily apparent that various changes I in the character of the hooks 7 used and in the manner of attaching them to the plates 3, could be made without departing in any way from the spirit of the invention, and for this reason we do not wish to be limited only to the details of construction shown.
Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new therein and desire to secure by Letters-Patent, is:
l. .A cloth holding clamp for ironing boards comprising, a tensioning spring, plates fixed to the opposite ends of said spring and hooks, for engaging the opposite edges of a board, secured detachably to said plates.
2. A cloth holding clamp for ironing boards comprising a tensioning spring, plates having their inner ends secured to the opposite ends of said spring, and hook members secured adjustably and removably to the said plates for engaging the opposite edges of a board to which they are applied.
3. A cloth holding clamp for ironing boards comprising a tensioning spring, elongated plates having their inner ends secured to the opposite ends of the said spring; said plates having hooks formed thereon at intervals longitudinally thereof and cloth holding hooks, for engaging opposite edges of a board to which the device is applied, applicable selectively to the hooks of said plates to adapt the device to boards of different widths.
4. In a device of the class described, the combination with a tensioning spring and hooks for engaging the opposite edges of a board to which the device is applied, of adjusting plates having their inner ends secured to the opposite ends of the said spring and having anchor members formed thereon to which said hooks may be selectively applied to adapt the device to boards of various widths.
Signed at Seattle, Washington this 16th day of November 1921.
