ELECTRIC-IRON-CORD SUPPORT.

Application filed Kay 19, 1924. Serial No. 714,260.

T all whom it may concern:

Be it known-that I, WILLIAM H. WEBER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ferndale, in the county of Oakland and 6 .State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in. Electric- Iron-Cord Supports, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therecord will be out of the wa of articles being ironed and also not inter are with manipuyieldable upright is constructed so that it may be maintained in a folded or inactive position at one ed e of an ironing board or table and for this purpose the ends ofthe yieldable upright-are constructed to facilitate support.

ing the upright in parallelism with an edge of the ironing board or table. One end of .the yieldable upright has a' configuration 'for gripplng the edge of the ironing board or table and the opposite end of the upright is designed to be held by a bracket attached to the edge of the ironing board or table.

The construction entering into my in,-

vcntion will be hereinafter specifically described and then claimed, and reference wilL now be had to'the drawing wherein Figure 1 is a front elevation of the cord support. relative to an ironingboard and electric iron;

Fig. 2 is an end view of the support;

Fig. 3 is a bottom plan of one end of the support; Fig. 1

is a sideelevation of a portion of the support;

l p Fig. 5 is aplan of the same, and

Fig. 6 is'a perspectlve view of the outer.

end of the support engaging an ironing board. The reference numeral 1 denotes an angle bracket which is attached tojthe lower face of an ironing board 2 by screws 3 or otherafretam the outer end of the upright in enfastening means and said angle bracket has a 'vertical'portion 4 provided with a lip 5 h v ng a e tr notch or recess-6.

Mounted in the vertical portion of the angle-bracket 1 is a screw 7 and ad ustable .on said screw is a Wing thumb nut 8.

' On the screw 7 between the nut 8 and the vertical portion 4 of the bracket 1 is an eye 9 of a yieldable upright 10 preferably made of a semi-rigid wire or rod that is non-corrodable. The upright 10 is adapted to engage in the notch or recess 6 of the'lip 5 and be clamped therein by the nut 8 holding the eye 9 against the vertical portion 4 of the angle bracket 1.

The upper or outer end of theyieldable upright 10 has a return bend portion 11 terminating in a hook member 12 which cooperates with the return bend portion 11 in necting the rod 13 to the upper endof the upright 10 is determined after ascertaining the travel of an electric iron 14 onthe ironing board 2, it being preferable to allow sufslack in the cord 13, between the upright 10 and the iron 14, so that said iron can be' freely manipulated on the-ironing board. Should the iron be moved a greater distance than usual the upright 10 will yield, bending over sufficient to prevent the cord 13 from being injured, displaced or the usual plug pulled from the iron.

Removing the cord 13from the upright 10 and loosening the nut 8 permits of the lower end of the upright being shifted out forming a channel gripping meniber disof the nut 6 and the upright: swung to approximately a horizonal position. The outer end of the upright can then be placed in' gagem ent with the ironing board. The nut 8 can then be tightened against the eye 9 of the uprlght and the support will be firmly l! 1. A support for the cord of an electric held in engagement Withthe ironing board so as to be convenient the next time the board is to be used.

What I claim is i V iron adapted to be manipulated on an ironing board or the like, comprising an angle bracket having a notch, 'a nut equipped screw carried bysaid angle bracket, a yieldable upright having an eye end on said screw adapted to be heldby the nut thereof with the upright in a notch of the angle bracket, said yieldable upright having its outer end of such' configuration as toperinit of a cord being temporarily attached thereto and to permit of the outer end of theupright gripping the edge of the ironin board to co-operate with the bracket and 2. A support for the cord .of an electric iron adapted to. be manipulated relative to an ironing board or the like, said support comprising a yieldable upright having its outer end bent either for supporting the iron cord or for gripping the edge of the ironing board, and means adapted for connecting the inner-end of the yieldable uprightto the ironing board.

In testimony whereof I afiix in the presence of two witnesses.
