METAL FIRE RESISTING IRONING BOARDv Filed Sept. 22, 1928 INVENTOR.
lPatented Dec. 13, 1932 UNITED STATES LEIGH PRUDEN, F LUS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA METAL FIRE RESISTING IRONING BOARD Application filed September 22,l 1928. Serial N'o. 307,641.
This invention relates to improvements` in ironing boards.
One of the objects of the present invention is to provide a simple efiicient and inexpensive ironing board that will have long lifel and sturdy qualities.
Another object of this invention is to provide a protective covering for a wooden ironing board.
A further object of this invention is to provide a light, strong protective covering for a wooden ironing board composed of an inner layer of asbestos overlying the Wooden ironing board and of an outer metal sheath enveloping the asbestos layer.
A final object of this invention is to eliminate the fire hazard of an all-Wooden ironing board by reinforcing the top side, side edges and under marginal edges of a wooden ironing board by successive laminations of asbestos and metal.
With the above and other objects in View my invention consists in the combination, arrangement and details of construction disclosed inthe drawing and specification, and then more particularly pointed out in the ap ended claim.
n the drawing, in which similar reference characters designate similar parts throughout the respective views:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of my invention showing the central part thereof cut away to reveal the respective asbestos and metal laminations on the wooden board,
Figure 2 is a fragmental perspective view of my invention showing a modified way of securing the marginal portions of the metal covering around the edges of the wooden board, and
Figure 3 is a bottom plan view of the novel ironing board.
In the drawing, which is merely illustrative of my invention the parts thereof are now detailed. 10 designates the wooden ironing board which may be of conventional construction and shape. To prevent the wood .material of the ironing board from burning should the usual fabric covering thereover catch fire I design to encase the wooden ironing board in a protective sheathing.
I take a sheet of asbestos 11 and cause it to completely engage the outer surface of the Wooden board 10 as well as the side edges thereof as at 12, While its marginal portion extends partially around so as to overlap the underside of the Wooden ironing board mar-l ginally as at 13. I next take a sheet metal strip 14 and cause it to overlie the outer surface of the asbestos lamination or sheet 11 and also to engage the side edges of this 60 asbestos sheet as at 15 to provide the returned portions 16 of the metal sheet which marginally engage the portions 13 of the asbestos strip. I take suitable fastening elements 17 and cause them to penetrate the marginal portions 16 and 13 of the metal and asbestos sheets respectively to unite these laminations firmly against the wooden ironing board 10. In this manner after the usual fabric covering has been suitably secured in stretched relation upon the wooden ironing board, the sad iron will, in no manner, come into direct contact with the wooden parts of the ironing board, and hence the board is rendered fireresisting. It will be noticed that the metal sheet either has its folded parts right angularly bent down flange-like as shown in Figure 1 or else rounded or curled about and over the corner edges of the wooden ironing board, as shown in Figure 2. The effect of extending the asbestos and metal laminations around the wooden parts of the wooden ironing board is to cause'the top face and side and end edges of the wooden ironing board to be engaged by the side, topside and end edges of the asbestos sheet in pressed relation in the act of applying the metal sheet over the sbelsltos lamination in the manner already set ort The metal covering thusdescribed distributes the weight of the electric or gas iron thereover, preventing its movement. When an overheated sad iron burns the fabric covering it takes out the inflammable material and leaves a charred or charcoal pad underneath "5 the sad iron; but since the surface directly beneath the fabric covering is made of metal, this will prevent the fire from spreading so at to engage any part of the wooden material of the ironing board composite structure, the
asbestos also serving to prevent Contact of the flames with the wooden ironing board proper. The metal covering also protects the asbestos from wear and tear and from fraying or flicking off with usage. My invention provides for long life of the ironing board strength, and lightness compatible with rigidity, and prevents the board from losing its shape and from readily sagging. The
Wood of the board being spaced two laminations from the fabric covering is thoroughly protected from all fire hazards.
I do not confine myself to the exact details of construction but cover all variations falling within the purview of the appended claim.
What I desire to claim and secure by Letters Patent is:-
In combination with a Wooden ironing board, an asbestos sheet having marginal portions folded in rigid contact with the upper face of the board with its end edges and side edges thereof respectively, a sheet metal strip placed in overlying relation and in contact with the upper flat face of the asbestos sheet and being operatively folded at right angles to the strip in L-shape formation to provide portions which are brought into rigid contact with the longitudinal side and end edges of the asbestos sheet, and also engaging with its marginal portions the underside of the board, and fasteners securing the marginal portions of the metal strip to the board.
LEIGH PRUDEN.
