IMPROVEMENT IN SAD-IRoNs.-

Specitication forming partof LettersPatent No. 186,291, dated January 16, 1877; application tiled December 16, 1876. Y

To all whom it 'may concern Be itknown that we, JOHN G. BAKER and T. HENRY ASBURY, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have invented certain Improvements in Sad-Irons, of which the following is a speci'- `ication Our invention relates to the construction of that class of sad-irons,'in which the base of the iron is packed with re-clay or other equivalent non-conducting material, and the object of our invention is to construct a cheap sad-iron of this class.

In the accompanying drawing, Figure l is a vertical section of our improved sad-iron, showing the several parts connectedtogether 5 Fig. 2, thesame, showing the parts disconnected from each other Fig. 3, a transverse section 5 Fig. 41 a perspective view of the base, and Fig. 5 a modication of part of our invention.

comparatively cool condition.

Two wrought-iron pins, a a, are cast to the closed ends of thehandle, these pins being passed through holes b in the plate D, and

subsequently riveted on ythe under side of the plate, which is thus permanently secured `to the handle.

perforations,

, In the recess d o f the sad-iron are two projections, e e, the spacef between which is of a dovetail orT shape, and adapted to a similarly shaped head haof a bolt H.

The head of the bolt is first adjusted to this space between the projections e e, afterwhich the recess in the basefflsdiacked with fire-clay or other equivalent material. The plate D of the handle is then adjusted to the top of the base, the stem of the bolt passing through an opening, i, yinthe said plate, after which the latter with( the handle is secured by a nut, m, adapted to thev bolt, when the sad-iron is complete.

A simple set-screw,`x, Fig. 5, may be used in place of the bolt, a plug heilig inserted in the threaded orice while the recess in the base is being packed, after which the plug may be withdrawn to make way for the screw.

We claim as our inventionl. The combination of the base B, packed with noncondncting material, with the handle A, and the intermediate plate D, connected to the said base, so as to be readily detached therefrom, as described.

2. The combination ofthe perforated hollow handle, the pins a a cast to the closed ends of the same, and the plate D.

In testimony whereof we have signed our names to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
