rREssING PAD.

Application sied April s,

Zo all 'whom it may conceive.' j

Be it known that`I, CHARLES M. GOUGH, a citizen ofthe United States, and resident of'East St. Louis, Illinois, have invented `certain new and useful Improvements in a Pressin lad, of which the following yis a speci catlon.

This invention relates to improvements in a .pressingiadgmd has for its object a pad constructed of ,asbase plate, aresilient body built therebn, the upper casing of the resilient body being of a reticulated material and a` covering of cloth lor otherwise placed over the reticulated material and over the base plate and held inposition by means of lac ing or the like. This combined structure may be then placed on the pressing arm or table of a pressing machine which is used for the purpose of pressing lclothing. I

A -further 'object of my 'invention is tol construct a Iiilient pad to be used in connection with a lthppressinglmachinqthe said pad being so constructed as to give proper resiliency during the pressing process, at the same time to provide proper drying q'ua-lities and to remove the moisture during the pressing process.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a pressing machine showing my pad in position on the table thereof.

Fig. 2 1s 'a top lan view of an improved' pad with a parti roken away showing the internal structure.

Fig. 3 is a side view of the same with parts broken away.

Fig. 4 is a detail perspective view of the pressing pad with a part of the covering and reticulated material broken away. n

Fig. 5 is a detail cross-sectional view of a portion of the pad showing the structural relation of the springs with the plate and covering. v l

The general construction of my invention consists of a supporting base plate 6.,the same being of some non-,corrosive materialy so as to prevent rusting and corroding on ac' count of moisture being broughtin Contact therewith.

This base plate is constructed of a size to correspon-:l with the pressing table 7 which forms a part ofa cloth pressing machine 8.

The plate is provided at intervals with perforations 9 through which air may pass and circulate and also through'which the i921. sum1 No. 459,62.

moisture may pass out from the interior of the pad.

Onthe surface of the late and at suitable intervals are place sprin l0, the same bemg preferably constructe helical in form, thea ex being at the bottom and firmly attache to `the base plate by means lof a.'r1vet 11 or other suitable fastening device, the head 12 of the rivets or-fastening devices acting as a suitable spacer between 'the bottom of the plate and the top of the indicated by the table. This' space being acts as a circunumeral 13, which space lating assage.

The argest coil of the helicalv spring is at the top and over -thesesprings is placed a. covering of .reticulated material 14 such vfor example 'asser-eenmg of non-corrosive material, and Over this coverin' of reticulated material islaced'a coyering of fabric 15, and over t 's cover is laced 'a second 'coverin of-.fabric 16, which is either of cloth, fe t .or other suitable or appro priate material.

. The springs may be of straight formation but it has been foundv more ractal. to make the sprin in the form o? so that during t e pressin process the springs when bein compre will lie down and be of a more 4xat formation as that indi cated by the dots. a in Fig. 5, than if the spring were perfectl straight permitting each coil to rest or pi 'upon the other.

The table on which the to be placed is construct to be heated either by steam, electricity or otherwise, and when the garment to be pressed is laced on the pad and the` sameV moistened efore the heated .unit is brought in contact with the same the steam which arises will have a tendency to pass' through the "pad and out through the ottom through theperforations and thereby more readi ydry the garment.

The covering 15 and l@ is so constructed 'as to lay under the base plate 6 and is conahelixad is designed.

ing of retieulated material and an additional -coveringvof fabric and then this 'structure to be placed in position on the table or pressi ing-arm of a pressing machine.

Having fully described my invention what I claim is:

1. A pressing pad comprising an independent.. perforated base plateof non-corrosive material, springs locatedl at suitable intervals and attached to said base plate, a covering of retlculated material placed over said springs and a covering of fabric placed over the l'irst mentioned covering and held in position beneath the base plate, substan- -tially as specified.

of conical helicalA springs lattached to the l base plate, a covering of pervious material placedover the springs and a covering Aof several layers of fabric placed over the ervious material, substantially as spocie l 4. A pressing pad of the character-described comprising a. non-corrosive cal springs arranged with the apex down and attached Ito the plate, a covering of pervious 'material placed over the springs and in contact with theupper largest coil of tlie conical helical springs, 'a covering of several layers of fabric placed over-the pervious material, the endsthereof being laced together beneath the plate, substantially as specified.

5. A unitary resilient supporting member for use with an ironing pad, comprising a supporting base plate, and a plurality of springs vrigidly secured atene end to the plate over the siirface thereof, the other end of ,the springs being free and adapted to support the pad. l

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to'tliis specification, 'in presence o1 two subscribing witnesses.
