FLATIRON SUPPORT.
Application led ctober 13, 1925. Serial No. 62,221.'
This invention relates to a support for i flatirons and the like and has for its object the provision of a simple device of this character which may be cheaply manufactured and readily positioned for use on an ironing board.
Another object of my invention .is to provide a flatiron support having a table or raised surface for supporting the flatiron, provided with a peripheral upstanding edge to avoid the slipping of the iron from the support and which edge assists in the-ready positioning of the latiron thereon.
A further object of the invention is to provide a support of the character specified aving an inclined surface leading from the surface of the ironing board to the elevated surface on which the flatiron is supported whereby the atiron can be slid directly -to and from the vsurface of the ironing board to the support without the necessity of lifting the iron, and thus avoiding unnecessary manual labor on the part of the user of the at'iron.
A still further object of the invention is to provide a fiatiron support having the desirable features pointed out which may be formed as an integral unit from a flat sheet of suitable metal, thereby simplifying its construction and reducing the cost of manufacture to a minimum, and producing a unit of rugged construction Without parts that are likely to get loose o r out of order.
The invention possesses other advantageous features, some of which with the foregoing will be set forth at length inthe following description, where I shall outline in full that form of the invention which I have selected for illustration in the drawings accompanying and forming part of the present specification. In said drawings I have shown several forms of devices embodying my invention, but it is to be understood .that I do not limit myself to such forms, since the invention as set forth-in the claim may be embodied in a plurality of other forms.l
Referring to the drawings:
Figure 1 is a plan view of a flatiron support embod 'ng my invention, illustrating one mode-o securing the same to an ironing board. v
Figure 2 is a section taken on the line 2-.2 of Fig. 1.
Figure 3 is a section taken on the line 33of Fig. 1, and
Figure 4 is a, right end viewiof Fig. 1
illustrating a modified type of means for securing the support to the ironing board.
In the drawings, I have shown a flatiron support 1, which is made of a suitable metal, such as zinc for example, and formed with a table or elevated supporting surface 2 for the atiron. The surface 2 is preferably rectangular` in shape as best shown in Fig. 1, and provided on two of its parallel sides with an upstanding edge 3 and 4. Preferably the entire unit is fbrmed from a single piece of sheet metal in which case the piece of metal forming the surface 2 is bent up at right angles toy form the edges 3 and 4. In order to strengthen said edges as Well as to form a holder for a sheet ofasbestos 5, or other suitable heat insulating material, positioned on the lower side of the surface 2, the edges 3 and 4 are each doubled and bent downwardly, extending a slight distance below the surface 2 at which point they are bent inwardly to form L- shaped supports 6 and 7 respectively for the longitudinal edges, of the asbestos 5, as best shown vin Fig. 3. The surface 2- is also preferably formed with several ridges 8 parallel with the edges 3 and 4 on which the fiatiron may rest, and thereby revent dangerous heating by the flatiron w en on the support. One
end of the surface 2, which I shall refer `toA as the rear end of the same is formed with an edge 9 at right angles with and formed I similarly to the edges 3 and 4 just described; however ythe edge 9 is vprovided K with a longer downward extension or flap 10 which provides a support for the unit as well as means for securing the same to the ironing board 11. The flap or extension 10 is cut inwardly at a number of points a suitable distance from its outer edge so as to provide a series of independent fiaps. In the present instance four of such cuts are provided as indicated in dotted lines at 12 to 15 inclusive in Fig. 1, thus forming five separateaps 16 'to 19 inclusively. Flaps 16, 18 and 20 are bent inwardly underneath the surface 2 at right angles with the edge 9, while the alternate flaps 17 and 19 extend downward vertically. The fla s 16, 18
and 20 form rests on the "ironin' ard 11 for the unit, as shown best in ig. 2, the same being designed to support the unit a suitable distance above the ironi board surface. The. vertical ila s 17 an, 19 are respectively provided with a rtures' 21 an 22 to receive screws 23. e unit thus described is positioned on the ironing board 1l with the ' flaps 16, 18 and 20 resting `on the surface thereof and with iaps 17 and i9 against the edge thereof and secured to said edge by screws 23. The end opposite the rear endhaving edge 9, which l shall l the inclined surface 24: and is secured thereto by bending the edge of said surface inwardly as indicated at 25. rlhe part 24 is also provided if desired with an aperture 2G adapted to receive a screw 27 by means of which the unit is secured to the ironing board at its forward end. If desired, the
vforward ends of the edges 3 and 4- may be bent outwardly slightly as indicated at 28 and 29.
In the modification shown in Fig. 4, I
meente have shown a dierent manner of attaching the rear end of the unit to the ironing board. ln this case, the apsl? and 19 are not screwed to the ironing board but are held against the same by a strap 30 ina manner readily understood.
I claim:
A latiron support comprising an integral unit formed from a sheet of metal comprising a horizontal wall for supporting the flat iron, one end of which is bent upwardly andV then bent downwardly to provide a support for the unit, and the opposite end of which is bent downwardly so as to provide an inclined surface extending from the surface of the ironing board to said horizontal wall, said first-mentioned downwardly bent portion being provided with a plurality of flaps, some of which are bent inwardly at right angles to form a rest on the upper surface of the ironing board and others of which are adapted to engage the edge of the ironing board.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand.
AMELIE TANRON.
