IRON REST.

AppIication filed October 26, 1925.

This invention relates to an improved at tachment for common sad irons, electric irons, and the like. wherein the same is con structed to provide a permanently attached rest so that the iron may be turned up to the vertical position, and effectively supported in that position to prevent scorching and burning of the article being pressed.

My principal aim is to generally improve upon attachments of this class by providing one of comparative simplicity and durability which is formed from a single plate of metal fastened upon the rear end and back of the iron to provide an eflicient support or rest for the iron while in its inoperative vertical position.

Other features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description and drawing.

In the accompanying drawing forming a part of this application and in which like numerals are employed to designate like parts throu hout the same:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of the iron in its vertical position showing the improved attachment in place and in use.

Figure 2 is a. perspective view of the attachment disconnected from the iron.

Referring to the drawing in detail, the reference character 1 designates the handle of a common ordinary electric iron, 2 repre sents the body of the iron, 3 an electric socket, and 4: an electric cord connected thereto. It is immaterial whether the iron be an electric iron or the old fashioned sad iron. v r

The attachment is represented generally by the reference character 5. As before stated, it is formed from a single plate of metal. preferably of polished steel or similar sturdy material. The plate is bent to provide a base 6, 7 designates a vertically Lip-turned front flan e, and 8 designates apertured attaching cars which are turned inwardly to dispose them in spaced parallelism with the base portion. Extending up in parallelism with the front flange 7 are the attaching arms 9 which are apertured at their free Serial No. 64,899.

ends to permit passage of appropriatefastenings therethrough for fastening them to the back or top or body of the iron.

In practice. the ears 8 are fastened to the rear end of the iron as shown in Figure 1 at a point near the bottom, but spaced above it so that the attachment will not interfere with the work. This disposes the base in spaced parallelism to the rear end of the iron, and the base is preferably of a proportion to extend beyond the back or top of the iron. This positions the attaching arms for connection to said back. By referring to Figure 1, a good idea of the method of attaching the attachment may be obtained. The attachment is at is ready for use whenever necessary. lVhile ironing, the iron can be turned up on end to the vertical position shown and supported upon the base without permitting burning or scorching the apparel being pressed.

No doubt, by carefully considering the all times in place and I description in connection with the drawing,

persons familiar with structures of this kind will be able to obtain a clear understanding of the same. Therefore, a more lengthy description is thought unnecessary.

While the preferred embodiment of the invention has been shownv and described it is to be understood that minor changes coming within the field of invention claimed may be resorted to if desired.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is A supporting attachment for an iron comprising a single plate of metal bent to provide a base, a right angular front flange, apertured attaching ears on said flange, anda pair of attaching arms bent at rightangles to the base. the ears being adapted to be connected with one end of the iron andthe arms being adapted to be connected with the top thereof, to dispose the base in spaced parallelism to said end. of the iron.

In testimony whereof I my signature.
