UNITED STATES PATENT FFICE.
RICHARD COLLINS, OF CHICOPEE, MASSACHUSETTS, ASSIGNOR OF ONE- IIALF ITIS RIGHT TO GEORGE lV. BIDWELL, OF SAME PLACE.
IMPROVEMENT IN lRONlNG-BOARDS.
Specification forming part of Letters PatcntN0.153,242, dated July 2l, 1874; application filed To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, RICHARD lOLLINs, of Chioopee, Massachusetts, have invented an Improved Ironing-Board, of which the following is a speciiication:
My invention belongs to that class of boards more especially adapted for the doing up of the bosoms of shirts; and consists in the combination, with the ironing surface or board proper. of a roll hung in bearings at one end ofthe board, and having a ratchet to confine its revolution to one direction, and provided with a rough surface to hold the fabric coming in contact with it; and in the combination, with the bosom-board and roll, of a curve in the end of the board provided with spurs to conform to and hold the neck-band, and, in connection with thc shoulders upon cach side of the curves, provided with spurs or (':orrugations to iirmly hold one end of the bosom while the roll is turned, when necessary, to keep thc bosom distended under the iron.
In the drawings, Figure I is a pla-11, and Fig. II a side view, of my invention.
D is the body ofthe board, properly covered with cloth and padded to present a good surface to iron upon, and having at thc bottom of it the roll B hung in bearings atc c from the board, so as to extend parallel to and entirely across the end of the board. The top ofthe roll B is flush with or slightly below the surface of the board D, so as to draw the bosom of the shirt over the ironing-surface. Upon one end ofthe roll and outside of the bearing c is the ratchet y, having thc pawl w hinged to one side of the board.
The surface of the roll I provide at one or more places, or` upon its entire length if required, with a surface roughened to take hold ofthe fabric of the shirt and retain without tearing or injuring it. And it will be seen that it' the bosom is placed upon the board and held at one end while the other is brought over the roll to engage with the roughened surface thereof, the bosom will be stretched by the rotation of the roll, and the ratchet will retain the roll in the position in which it is last left.
This is most desirable to enable a bosom to be quickly and smoothly ironed, as while with` April 21, 1874.
up as produced by the other hand revolving the roll, and the bosom is continuouslyr straightened until it is properly done up.
At the opposite end upon the board from the roll, or at its top, I form the curve d nearly semicircular in form, and which conforms, when the bosom is in place upon the board, to the half of the neck-band upon the bosom, and I leave upon each side of the curve d the shoulders b b, which, as near as possible, conform to the shoulders of the shirt upon each side of the neck. The bottom of the curve I provide with one or more spurs or iine points, c, and the shoulders b b with frictionsurfaces or spurs, so that the neck end of the shirtbosom, when applied to the board, will be uniformly and securely held throughout its entire width.
Although the corrugations or projections forming the rough or grasping surface upon the roll I3 and shoulders b b may be artificially prepared upon metal or other hard material, I have discovered that the application of dog-fish skin admirably serves the purpose, as the points upon it are sharper and more uniform than could be made artificially, and it will hold firmly to cotton or linen without in the least injuring its texture, and I therefore place strips of it upon the shoulders l) b, and more or less cover the roll B with it. The
board D is raised upon cleats to permit the roll and ratchet to swing clear of the table upon which the ironing-board may rest.
N ow, having described my invention, what I claim is- 1. In combination with the board l), having shoulders b b for holding one end of the bosom of a shirt, the tension-roller B,4 provided with the roughened surface and the ratchet, for the purpose of enabling the bosom to be always kept distended, substantially in the manner as shown and described.
2. In combination with the board D, provided with the curve d, the spurs e, for the purpose of conforming to and holding the neckband of the bosom, substantially as shown and described.
23. In combination with the ironing-board D the roughencd surface b b, applied to the shoulders thereof, as set forth, for the purposes specified.
Witnesses: RICHARD COLLINS.
