This invention relates to new and useful 1m rovements m'an iron.

ne object of the invention is to-provide a novel t pe of iron for smoothing cloth and (l operated by adapts to be attached to and vide a device of the character descri d, which includes cooperating smoothing rollers one of which is equipped with heating means, said device including means for driving one of said rollers from the momentum 5 wheel of said machmer 'With the above and other objects in view, the invention has particular relatlon to cer-' tain novel features of construction, operation and arrangement of. parts,- an example of which is given in this specification illustrated a in the accompanying '9.

are 1 s owe a side view of asewing 'maphine with the device attached. thereto Fi 2 shows an end view thereof, shows e device partly in section.

the drawings the numeral 1 designates a sewing machine as a whole and the numeral 1.2 designates the arm thereof. This sewing machine may-beef any conventional construction having the momentum wheel 3 which may be clutched with and declutched from the operating mechanism of the machine in the usual manner. Fastened to the arm 2 there is a clamp 4 havin the side arms rovided with aligned arings 6, -6 spa a art. There is a smoothing roller 7 whose aft 8 rotates in said bearings. One

end of the shaft 8 has a driving wheel 9 thereon adapted to be clutched therewith and declutched therefrom in any conventional man her and this wheel 9 has a peripheral groove Y in which the momentum w ee13 runs. The driving wheel 9 is driven by frictionfrom the momentum wheel 3. I

Suitably secured to thebearingsfi are the

flexible arms

10, 10 whose free ends have the bearings 11, 11 which are aligned and in which shaft 12 rotates. Mounted on the shaft 12 is the smoothing roller 13. The arms 10 are substantially U sha ed and the roller v 13 confronts and is yieldab y held against the,

roller 7 b saidiirm. If-desired an electricalheating e 'ement may be located withthe'roller 13 and this element may be connected with a source of electrical energy throu h the wiring 14 in any approved manner. en it is desired touse the device the momentum wheel 3 may he declutched from the operating mechanism of the machine and the rollerJt' maythen be operated from said momentum wheel without operatin the machine itself. The cloth may be passe between said rollers in anobvious manner. When the sewing machine is to be used, the

clutch of the momentum wheel 3 may be engaged and the clutch of driving wheel 9 disengaged so that the ironing device will not be operated.

The drawings and description disclose a preferred form of the invention by way of illustration only while the broad principle of the invention will be defined by the ap pended claims. 7

What 1 claim is:

1; A device of the character described includingja support, a momentum wheel thereon, a bracket on the support having two pairs of spaced bearings, flexible, U-shaped arms supporting one of said pair of bearings, confronting rollers mounted in said respective pairs of bearings, one of said rollers having an extended shaft, a drive wheel on said shaft in o erative contact with said'momentum whee and a heating element in one of said rollers. a

2. A device .of the character described including a support, a bracket thereon havin spaced bearings, a smoothing roller mounted in said bearings flexible, U-shaped arms carried by the bracket'and having aligned bear ings, roller mounted in the arm bearings and confronting said smoothing roller, 8. driving wheel carried by one of said rollers, a momentum wheel on said su port and in' drivin connection with said (ii-win wheel,

and a eating element in one of sai rollers.

fixed bearings on said sup orting device, a

roller mounted in movable earings and ar-' ranged to cooperate with said fixed rollers,

said means comprising arms, snbstantia U-shaped to ermit the material between said rollers to he moved in a direction lengthwise of the rollers and to pass beyond the ends of the rollers.
