UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICEp CLAUD J. 'GLEFTON, OF QWATONNA, MINNESOTA, ASSIGNOR, BY DIRECT AND IvIESNE ASSIGNMENTS, TO RUTH P. CLEFTON, OF ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA.
rrin'rrnon.
Application filed April 4,
To all whom it may concern: f 1
Be it known that I, CLAUD J. CLEFTON, a citizen of the United States, residing at ()watonna, county of Steele, State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Flatirons, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to a flat iron adapted for the use of gas as a heating medium and particularly acetylene gas and the object of the invention is to provide an iron of such construction that the heating flame will be directed toward the base of the iron, while the upper portion and the handle will be comparatively cool.
The invention consists generally in various constructions and combinations, all as hereinafter described and particularly pointed, out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification,
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a flat iron embodying my invention,
Figure 2 is a vertical sectional view through the body of the iron, I
Figure 3 is a. horizontal sectional view on the line 33 of Figure 1, with asbestos filling removed, l
Figure 4 is a transversesectional View on the line 4-4 of Figure 3,
Figure 5 is a perspective view of one of the side shields in the iron,
Figure 6 is a perspective View of the flame deflecting means.
In the drawing, 2 represents the base of the iron, provided with a heating chamber 3 and a socket 4 at one end into which the gas burner 5 is inserted. This burner has preferably an annular groove 6 therein and a pin 7 is mounted in an extension 8 on the top plate 9 of the iron and is normally held downward by a compression spring 10 to enter the groove 6 and yieldingly resist the withdrawal of the burner from the socket. The pin isprovided with a finger grip 11 by means of which it can be easily raised to release the burner. The top plate is held in position by suitable means, such as screws mounted in the base and preferably an asbostos sheet 13 is inserted between the plate and the base to retard the transmission of heat. A bafiie wall 14 depends from the top plate within the heating chamber 3 and is separated from the bottom of the iron by a gap or passage 15 toward which the frame a plate at above the burner opening.
1921. Serial No. 458,221.
is directed from the burner. A. recess 16 is provided under the plate 9 with air circulat on openings 17 leading thereto from the outside. A deflector 18 is arranged to it within the recess 16 and has base lugs 19 in position'to engage frames 20 provided with wire fillers 21. These frames are positioned opposite the openings 17 and have the function of preventing the flame from being projected through these openings. The guard 18 is preferably tapered, as shown in Figure 3, and is archerhas lllllS'.
trated in Figure 4, forming a flue or passage ient removal or replacement of the wire screens. The forward end of the guard, as shown in Figure 2, 1S seated against the depending baflie wall and the rear. portion has A 1 which are seated on the bottom of the iron plate 25, preferably of sheet metal, is inserted above the guard 18 resting upon the plate 24 and upon this plate sheets of nonconducting material, such as asbestos, may be placed. I
The forward end of the iron has a vertical recess 27 which extends up into the standard 28, which supports at its upper end a horizontally arranged hand grip. A 'serics of ports 29 are provided in the outer forward wall of the recess 27, said ports being preferably inclined to the vertical, and are for the purpose of creating a circulation and ventilation through the body of the iron. The products of combustion of the gas burning in the heating chamber 3 flow through the gap 15 and up through the rccess 27 and outwardly through the ports 29, thus creating a circulation and ventilation through the base and body of the iron.
The iron may be made in various sizes and the manner of mounting the cover plate on the base permits convenient access to the interior for the purpose of examination and repairs.
I claim as my invention:
1. A gas flat iron comprising a base having a heating chamber and a socket in one end wall for a gas burner, a battle wall depending into said heating chamber near the opposite end of the iron from said socket, a flame deflector fitting within said heating chamber, and having one end seated against said bafiie wall and its other end adjacent said socket, sa-id flame deflector having a passage therethrough and the walls of said passage converging from said socket to said baflie wall.
2. A flat iron comprising a base having a heating chamber and a standard at one end provided with a hand grip and a pascommunicating with said heating chamber and forming a flue, a top for said iron, a member fitting within said heating chamber and having a passage with closed side walls therein extending through said chamber, one end of said passage: communicating with said flue and the other end of said passage being adjacent the opposite end of said base from said flue and having a plate seated against said top, and a burner arranged to direct its flame into said passage.
S. A flat ironcconiprising aibase having aheating chamber therein and a burner socket at one end, a standard on said base having a hand grip, the forward end of said heating chamber having a vertical flue therein extending into said standard and provided with discharge openings, the lower inner walls of said flue having an opening within said heating chamber and a flame deflector fitting within said heating chamber and operating to direct the flame from said burner into and through the lower portion of said fine and against the forward wall of said base, said flame deflector having closed side and top walls and cooperating with said flue to form a continuous passage through said heating chamber.
A flat iron comprising a base having a heating chamber therein and aburner socket at one end of said base, the opposite end of said base having an exhaust flue, a depending wall near said flue, a deflector seated on the floor of said chamber and la ving one end abutting said wall and the other end provided with a plate for contact With the top of the iron, said deflector having a flame passage therethrough leading from said socket to said flue and the nose of said iron.
5. A flat iron comprising a base having a heating chamber therein and a burner socket at one end, the opposite end of said base having an exhaust flue, a depending wall near said flue, a deflector seated on the floor of said chamber and having one end abutting said Wall and the other end adjacent said burner socket, said deflector having a flame passage therethrough leading from said socket tosaid flue.
6, A gas flat iron comprising a base having a. heating chamber and a socket in one end wall for a gas burner, a top for said heating chamber and a standard having a hand-grip thereon, a flame deflector fitting within said heating chamber and held between a wall thereof, and the top of said chamber, said flame deflector havi'ng closed side walls and a passage therethrough from a point near said burner socket to the forward portion of said heating chamber.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this 80th day of March 1921.
CLAUD J. GLEFTON.
