ELECTRIC CORD TAKE-"UP.
Application filed July 5, 1921. Serial No. 482,402.
provements in Electric. Cord Take-Ups, of
which the following is a specification.
Our invention'relates to a support for electriciron cords and the main object of the in vention is to provide a device for taking up slack and holding the iron cord out of the way so that the iron may be operated without hindrance. Another object is to provide means for securing a switch to the cord support, so that the electric current to the iron can be readily turned on or 01f. I
The device may also be used to advantage on any electrical device where it is desirable to take up slack cord. p
Other objects will hereinafter appear and in order that the invention may be fully un derstood, reference will now be had to the accompanying drawing, in which Fig. 1 is a side elevation of the device in position upon an ironing board and sup porting the cord connected to the electric iron.
Fig. 2 is an elevation of the device turned at rightangles to Fig. 1; the electric iron, the cord, and the socket plug being removed.
Fig. 3 is a detail perspective View of a standard forming part of the invention.
Fig.4 is an edge view of a counterweight employed in taking up slack in the cord.
Fig. 5 is a detail perspective of a yoke.
A, designates an ironing board, B the electric iron, C the cord for conducting current to the iron to which it is removably secured by an electrical connection D, E a plug for connection with a lamp socket, and F a two-' pole snap switch connected to the cord 0 and an extension cord Ur. which latter leads from the plug E. All of the foregoing may be of any ordinary or preferred construction.
Referring now more particularly to the parts constituting the invention, 2 designates a standard which is, preferably, formed from one piece of wire. The lower portion of the standard 2 is formed into a loop 4 and an eye 6 connected by a U-shaped portion 8. 4
The loop 4 and theeye 6 are spaced apart sufliciently to straddle the edge of the ironing board A, to which the standard 2 is removably secured by a set screw 10 threaded in a nut 11 installed in the eye 6. The upper end of the set screw 10 bears against the underside of the ironing board A as disclosed by Figs. 1 and 2, and coacts with the loop 4 in firmly clamping the device to said ironing board. g
The snap switch F is secured on top of the loop 4 by suitable means such as screws 12 which pass upwardly through a yoke 14 and draw the latter firmly against the underside of the loop 4, the ends 16 of said yoke 14 being curved to fit the curvature of the wire forming said loop 4. s
The upper end 18 of the standard 2 is bent at substantially rightangles and provided with an annular groove 20 to receive the curved portion 22 of a lever 24 fulcrumed upon said end 18. The lever 24 extends in opposite directions from its fulcrum and is formed at one end into a segment 26 into which a counterweight 28 issna-pped, said counterweight having a peripheral groove 30, Fig. 4, to receive said segment 26. The opposite end of the lever 24 extends over the ironing board A and is provided with rings 32 through which a portion of the cord C extends. A portion of the cord C also extends through rings 34 carried by the standard 2, which latter is also provided with a ring 35 to prevent the extension cord G from being pulled loose from its connection to the switch F.
When the parts are assembled and arranged as shown on Fig. 1, it is apparent that when the iron B is moved back and forth over the ironing board A any slack in the cord C is automatically taken up by the lever 24 and the counter-weight 28, and hence the operation of the iron B will not be obstructed by said cord C.
From the foregoing description it will be understood that we have provided a device for taking up slack cord which has heretofore been an inconvenience and obstruction to the free operation of the electric iron B; and while we have shown and described the preferred construction, combination and arrangement of parts we reserve the right to make such changes as properly fall within the spirit and scope of the claims.
Having thus described our invention, what We claim and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is:
1. A device of the character described consisting of, a standard provided at its lower portion with a loop to extend over the top of an ironing board and an eye to extend beneath said ironing board, means extending through said eye to secure the standard to the board, a switch removably secured upon the looped portion of. the standard, a lever fulcruined upon the standard and provided with means for supporting an electric cord leading to an iron, and means for actuating said lever to cause the same to take up slack in thecord.
2. In a device of the character described, a standard consisting of one piece of wire bent at rightangles at its upper portion which is provided with an annular groove, the lower portion of said standard being formed into aloop to it over an ironing board and an: eye to fit under said board, a
U-shaped portion connectingsajid loop and eye, a nut in said eye, a thumb screw threaded through said eye to engage the underside of the board, a lever fulcrumed. on the grooved upper portion of the standard, means onsaid lever for supporting a cord leading to an electric iron, and a counterbalance on said lever to cause the same to take up slack in the cord.
In testimony whereof we aflix. our signatures, in the presence of two'witnesses;
