SAFETY GUARD FOR FLATIRONS Filed NOV. 26, 1927 INVENTOR.

Patented Feb. 18, 1936 UNITED STATES ANTHONY F. MCDONNELL, OF DUNIVLORE, PENNSYLVANIA SAFETY GUARD FOR FLATIRONS Application filed. November 26, 1927. Serial No. 235,911.
My invention has for its special object to provide for flat irons a simple, effective and convenient device for preventing accidental burning by the heated iron of the hand manipulating the article being ironed.
To this end, my invention in its present preferred embodiment, comprises in its entirety a guard rail preferably of wire surrounding the base of the iron, spaced slightly therefrom on all sides and raised slightly above the bottom of the base, shields on opposite sides of the base, and means for attaching and securing the guard rail and shields in such position to the iron and de taching it therefrom, said means consisting, for example, of loops, fixed to the side shields and guard rail for attachment to handle supporting devices at both the front and rear ends of the iron.
In order that my invention may be fully understood, I shall first describe in detail the mode in which I at present prefer to carry theinvention into practice and then particularly point out the invention in the claim. Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming part of this application in which like parts are designated by the same numbers in all figures.
Figure l is a side elevation of a fiat iron to which is applied a safety guard in accord with my invention.
Figure 2 is a plan view of the same.
Figure 3 is a perspective View of the said safety guard detached from the iron.
In the specific embodiment of my invention thus illustrated, number & designates the base of an ordinary form of flat iron, 5 the vertical bolts to which the guard is in this form, detachably secured, and 12 the handle proper.
To prevent the accidental burningby the heated base of the iron of the hand manipulating the article being ironed which hand often touches the base of the iron in the process of holding and handling the article, I provide a guard rail 7 entirely surrounding the base of the iron, spaced slightly on all sides from the periphery of said base and slightly raised above the bottom of the same, and shields 6 fixed to the guard rail on both sides of the base of the iron and spaced laterally therefrom so as to fend the hand off the base of the iron, Without interfering with the movement of the iron over the article or the watchful inspection of the base of the iron or its edges during the process of ironmg.
The guard rail 7 and shields 6 may be made of one or more pieces of metallic wire or other suitable material, and I now prefer to secure them in the described fixed position with respect to the base of the iron, preferably detachably, by means of loops 8 and 9, formed on the respective side shields 6 and adapted to embrace detachably the respective attaching bolts 5 of the handle proper 12 of the iron.
The loops 8 or 9 may be made for simplicity as shown of wire in one or more pieces, with the wire forming the guard rail 7 and side shields 6, and will be of a form and size adapted to the form and location of the respective bolts 5.
It is evident that the specific details of my invention as herein exemplified may be greatly varied without departing from the boundaries of my invention as defined by the following claim.
I claim as my invention:
A safety guard for flat irons comprising a guard rail surrounding the base of the iron spaced on all sides from the periphery and raised slightly above the bottom thereof, shields each connected at one end to the guard rail and extending therefrom on opposite sides of the iron base and spaced therefrom, and means for securing the other ends of said shields to the iron.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
ANTHONY 1T, MCDONNELL.
