UNITE-D STATES PATENT OFFICE.
ALPHONSE LA FON, OF NEWARK, NEW JERSEY.
IRONING PAD.
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, ALPHONSE LA FON, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Number 40 Chestnut Street, Newark, in the county of Essex and State' of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ironing Pads, of which the following is a specication.
This invention relates to ironing pads or the like, and aims to provide improvements therein.
The invention provides an ironing pad which may be placed upon an ironing board and on to which a hot iron may be slid without necessitating that the iron be lifted from the ironing board, thereby facilitating the action of placing the iron on the pad and relieving the operator of the labor of lifting the iron each time that it is desired to momentarily lay aside the iron.
The invention yfurther provides a device which may be made of light sheet metal, without the heat of the iron heating the pad in such manner as to burn or scorch the padding of the ironing board on which the ironing pad rests.
The invention further provides a device which is very simple in construction and consequently may be cheaply manufactured and readily assembled.
An embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein- Figure 1 is a top plan view of the ironing pad showing it applied to an ironing board;
Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view on the line II-II, Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view on the line III-III, Fig. 1.
Referring to said drawings, numeral 10 designates the part or portion of the ironing pad on which a hot iron is to rest, and 1l designates a skid or lip which is adapted to fit close to or substantially flush with the surface of the ironing board, and on which skid an iron is adapted to be slid from the surface of the ironing board on to the holding portion 10. This skid or lip 11, therefore` allows the iron to be placed upon the ironing pad by the simple operation of sliding the iron along the ironing board surface, and up said lipor skid 11 on to said holding portion 10, without the necessity of having to lift said iron in order to place it on said ironing pad. The lip or skid 11 is preferably provided with a down-turned The portion 10 is conveniently made of t light sheet metal, and isconveniently provided with a plurality of bosses or projections 15, preferably struck up fromnthe sheet metal, as indicated in Fig. 3. These bosses or projections 15 are, moreover, pref- -f erably tapered in such manner that the surface of the hot iron makes only a limited contact with the projections 15, preferably a point contact, and makes no direct contact with the other parts of the portion 10. This insures a considerable air space between the bottom of the hot iron and the greater part of the metal of which the'portion 10 is made.' and, moreover, the heat conducted through the projections 15 is greatly dispersed by the time it reaches the base of the projections. l
An upturned flange 17 is conveniently formed around one or more sides of the holding portion 10, as indicated at 17.
A sheet of insulating material 20, such as asbestos, is preferably placed beneath the top or iron holding portion 10.
There is also preferably provided a lower or bottom piece or sheet of metal 22, and this bottom piece 22 is attached to the top piece 10 with the sheet of insulation 20 in between, the connection between the top and bottom pieces 1() and 22 being preferably along one side of the device, as indicated at 2-1, in such manner that the pieces 10 and 22 may readily separate at the other edges or sides. In fact, the bottom piece 22 is conveniently curved, as indicated at 26, in such manner that the top and bottom pieces 10 and 22 may separate when the top piece is not pressed down on the bottom piece, by the weight of an iron on the ironing board. This enables the top and bottom pieces to separate when the ironing pad is not in use, thereby providing ready access of air between the pieces 10 and 22 for cooling.
The bottom piece 22 is conveniently oonnected to the top piece by means of ears 28, 29 turned down over the edge of said top piece 10, and the insulating sheet 2O is preferably interposed between connected parts of the top and bottom kpieces 10 and 22, and between the lugs 28 and 29 and said top piece 10, in such manner that said top piece the ironing A 'means or lstring 35i-has been thus tightened,
is entirely`TV insulated fromthe bottomp'iece by said sheet of insulating material. 20. The bottom piece 22 is also preferably provided with a turned-over edge or, flange 31, Which clamps the. edge of the insulating sheet 2O and thereby fastens said insulating sheetto said bottom piece 22.
The skid or lip 11' is; also conveniently formed as.. a. part of said bottom sheet 22, and conveniently: has `a depressionV 33 into which the-*adjacent edgeBlof the toppiece 10V isi pressed, sothat said edge isbelo-W tliewleveloftlie adjacent portion of theskid 11, thereby readily enabling an iron to pass over? said edgevQA-fof they top piece 10.
Meansirepreferably provided for fastening tlieironing pad tov an' ironing board. These meaii'sjyare preferably-a string-or tape which may lo'epa'ssedV aroundthe'fedges of the ironing'board and the endsf tied under saidvironing board. Friction of the: iron in sliding up said Vslidi and on to said holding portion 105il will ordinarlyy displace said holder toward theze'nd of 'the ironing board, and this displacement` Willicanse the string or'tape tof-bind moreftightlyfon the edges of board; and after the holding further movement of the ironing pad is preventedl The'- string 35' conveniently passes betweenthetop andibottom plates lO 'and 22, thefbottom p1ate422 beingI conveniently provided With 1a: lateralE depression 8'7ffor receiving said -string or tape.
The inventive ,ideamay receive other mechanical expressions than that herein specilically illustrated and described.
What is claimed is:
1. An ironing pad comprising a metal top piece adapted to hold a hot iron, a metal bottom piece,` and asheeto insulatingmaf teriafl'v between said4 top piece; and` said bottoni piece, said bottomianditop Qpiecesgbeing fastened along. one; side;Y and being; free; at
