A. E. TODD IRON HOLDER Filed Jan. 13, 1925' INVENTOR MM 5. Jer L BY Wm ATTORNEY Patented Sept. 29, 1925.
1,555,169 PATENT OFFICE.
ALBERT E. TODD, O'F SEATTLE, WASHINGTON.
IRON HOLDER.
Application filed January 13, 1925. Serial No. 2,209.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ALBERT E. Tom), a citizen of the United States, residing at Seattle, in the county of King and State of Washington, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Iron Holders, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in iron holders for use in connection with ironing boards to support flat irons that are used for ironing or pressing clothes and the object of my invention is to provide an iron holder that may be disposed within a notch I or recess that is provided in the end of an ironing board and secured to said board and that is formed and constructed so that it will strengthen and reinforce the end of ironing board and will not project above the top surface thereof, the holder itself being recessed for the reception of an iron.
Other and more specific objects will be apparent from the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a fragmen-- tary plan view of the end of an ironing board that is cut away for the reception of an iron holder constructed in accordance with my invention.
Fig. 2 is a fragmentary plan view of the ironing board with the iron holder installed therein.
Fig. 3 is a sectional view substantially on broken line 33 of Fig. 2; and
Fig. 4 is an enlarged isometric view of an iron holder constructed in accordance with my invention.
Referring to the drawings, throughout which like reference numerals designate like arts, I show a rectangular iron holder of shallow dish like construction, preferably formed of substantial sheet metal stamped and bent to a desired shape to afford a relatively strong and substantial structure at low cost.
The iron holder comprises a bottom 5 having perforations 6 for ventilation and having raised ribs 7 whereon a fiat iron of the usual construction may rest and be supported in spaced relation above the bottom 5. The front edge and the two ends of the bottom portion 5 are bent upwardly to form a front side wall 8 and end walls 10 and 11 of shallow depth and are thence bent outwardly to form narrow flanges 12 which add to the strength and improve the appearance of the iron holder. The rear edge or the holder is bent upwardly as at 13 and thence downwardly as at 14 to afford at the rear of the holder a continuous integral reinforcing strip of greater width than the depth of the iron holder, said strip 14 projecting beyond the ends of the iron holder and forming at each end a lug 16 having a perforation 17 through which a screw 18 may be inserted to help secure the iron holder to an ironing board 23.
The board 23 is prepared for the reception of the iron holder by cutting a rectangular notch 24 from the rear end inwardly, as shown in Fig. 1, and by cutting recesses 25 and 26 in the rear end and top surface respectively of the board 23 for the reception of the lugs 16 and 20. The notch 24 in the rear end of the board is preferably larger than the holder that is to fit thereinto so that it is not necessary to provide grooves for the reception of flanges 12 and so that a dead air space is afforded between the board and the walls 8, 10 and 11, which walls may become hot. As a further safeguard against fire a strip 27 of uninflammable material, as asbestos, may be fastened to the edges of the notched portions 24 of the board.
The strip 14 at the rear edge of the holder extends across the notch 24 and is securely fastened at both ends thus reinforcing and strengthening the board and amply compensating for the loss of strength due to the removal of material in forming the notch 24. The securing of the lugs 20 to the board further adds to the strengthening and reinforcing effect afforded by the iron holder.
The iron holder, being secured to the board, cannot become misplaced and requires no care or attention as does an ordinary loose iron stand or holder. This iron holder, when installed is flush with the top plane of the board but does not protrude as an obstruction above the plane of the board as do iron holders that rest upon and are secured to the top surface of the board.
Forming the notch 24 in the rear end of the ironing board requires less work and is cheaper than cutting a hole through the ironing board and further enables me to place the iron holder at the extreme rear end of the ironingboardthus leaving the greatest possible area on the top of the iron ing board available for use. The strengthening and reinforcing 1 effect of. the iron holder, especially the portion 14 makes this form-of installation practical.
The installation ofthis iron holder does not, interfere With any transverse strip or bracev members that may be used' on the bottom ofthe ironing board near the rear end.
The foregoingdescription and accom anyingi drawings, clearly disclose a preerred ei'nbodimentof myinventiom butit will be understood that this disclosure is merely illustrative and that changes in the same may be made within the scope of the following claims.
Vhat I claim is:
The combination with an ironing board having a recess entering from one end, of a receptacle forming an iron holder arranged to be disposed within said recess with its top side flush with the top surface of said ironing board, and an integral brace member at the rear of said iron holder extending across the open end of said recess and se-,
cured at opposite ends to said ironing board.
In witness whereof, I hereunto subscribe my name this 1st day of January A. D. 1925.
ALBERT E. .TCTZD.
