SADIRON. REST Yfiled sept. 12, 1958' Patented Apr. 22, 1941 UNE STATS i EN@ sAninoN meer Application September 12, 1938, Serial No. 229,565
4 Claims.
An object of my present invention is to provide a rest for sadirons particularly adaptable as a means to cooperate with the handle of the sadiron and permit rest or non-ironing position of the sadiron with the sole plate uppermost at a laterally inclined angle and the handle of the rest serving as a three-point support for the sadiron in non-ironing position.
A further object is to provide a sadiron rest comprising a projection such as a rail or the like at the side of the sadiron casing, which projection is so spaced by a support relative to the iron that it is maintained comparatively cool and thereby may be placed in contact with the ironingboard or table without danger of burning it, and the projection being so located with respectV to the handle of the sadiron that the projection and handle cooperate with each other to provide a support that is substantial enough to eliminate eas-y tipping of the iron from its rest position with its center of gravity then falling substantially midway between the handle and rest.
Another object of my invention is to provide a rest particularly adaptable for sadirons of the kind shown in the application of Howard A.
invention will be apparent from the following description, accompanying drawing and appended claims. Embodiments of the invention are illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which the views thereof are as follows:
Figure 1 is a perspective View of a sadiron structure with my rest applied thereto;
Figure 2 is a side elevation of the sadiron when tipped to rest position, the iron being viewed from the side where the operator would normally stand;
Figure 3 is a rear elevation of the iron in the position of Figure 2;
Figure 4 is an enlarged sectional view on the line Ll-A of Figure 1, and
Figure 5 is a plan view on a reduced scale showing my rest applied to an ordinary shape of sadiron.-
On the accompanying drawing I have used. the reference numeral Il to indicate a sole plate, and l 2 a shell of a sadiron. The sadiron shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3 is circular in plan view and has a handle I3.
Supporting brackets dei and I5 support the handle I3 relative to the shell I2. The usual terminal prongs I6 are provided for connection with a supply cord plug (not shown) partially enclosed by a guard il. The forego-ing iron is disclosed in detail in the Howard A. Smith application hereinbefore referred to.
My rest member includes a ring I8 formed of metallic tubing or the like and a plurality of supports i9 for supporting it relative to the shell I2. The manner of support may comprise an arrangement such as shown in Figure Ll. Screws 2B extend through perforations 2| in the shell I2 and terminate in threaded openings 22 of the tube I8. The tubes I@ thereby serve as spacers.
The rest I8, being in the form of a ring entirely around the periphery of a shell I2, serves as a guard in many instances to prevent undesirable contact of the cloth being ironed with the shell I2 during the ironing process. Such Contact would prematurely dry out the cloth Whereas it is desirable to prevent such a contingency particularly where intricate portions of the dress or the like are being ironed and part of the cloth has to be held off the ircningboard while advancing the iron along the cloth. 1t is therefore evident that the ring shape of the rest i8 serves a useful purpose in addition to the rest serving its primary purpose, as will hereinafter appear.
When the iron is to be left in a non-ironing position, it is merely necessary for the operator to tip it toward himself to the position shown in Figure 2. This position is for a right-hand person, whereas tipping it in the opposite direction would be proper for a left-hand person.
In Figure 3 the iron is viewed from the rear and its angle of inclination as well as the contact of the periphery of the ring i8 with the supporting surface S is clearly illustrated. The ring i3 serves as one point of support while the handle I3 serves as another point of support. Preferably, the handle 13 contacts with the surface S at two points as shown in Figure 2 adjacent the ends of Cthe handle, so that a three-point support is ha The spacers le are preferably located spaced from the point of contact of the rest I8 with the surface S. This point is shown at I8au in Figures 1 and,2 so that by placing the spa-Gers i 9 at fortyve degrees (45) to the point 13a, there is a minimum of heat transmission from the shell I2 to the point lila. Also due to the spacing of the ring I3 from the shell l2, so that there is` room for free air circulation between the ring and the shell, the heat of the shell is effectively dissipated before it reaches the point I5a and such point is therefore Vcomparatively cool, even though the parts I 8 and I9 are formed of metal.
In Figure 5 I show a modified construction in which arcuate rests I9lu have en-d portions I6c secured to a shell I2a of an ordinary shape of sadiron. The handle is indicated at |3a and cooperates with the arcuate rest I 8l in the same manner as disclosed in Figure 2.
My rest arrangement enables the operator to merely tip the iron toward himself when desiring to position the iron at rest. This is a very simple operation, and likewise the operation of reengaging the handle and tipping the iron to ironing position is very simple. A less awkward wrist motion is thereby involved than when the iron is up-ended rearwardly, as is the usual practice.
` My invention has been described in the foregoing specication and illustrated in the drawing, more or less precisely as to details. It is to be understood, however, that changes may be made in the arrangement and proportions of parts and equivalentsl may be substituted without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.
What I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is:
1. In combination with a round sadiron hav-- ing an elongated handle, a continuous curved rail-like element extending around said sadiron, spaced therefrom and adapted to cooperate with said handle to support said sadiron in inverted and laterally inclined position, resting on said handle and on a portion of said rail-like element, and supports extending from said sadiron to said rail-like element, said supports being connected to sai-d rail-like element at positions along the length thereof substantially spaced from the above-mentioned rest portion thereof.
2. The combination With a circular sadiron having a horizontally elongated handle lying in the plane of one diameter, of a circular rail-like element substantially concentric with the sides of said sadiron and spaced therefrom, and support means extending from said sadiron to said rail-like element at positions along the length thereof substantially spaced from the diameter perpendicular to said first-mentioned diameter.
3. A sadiron having a sole plate of circular outline, a shell covering said sole plate, and an annular guard rail supported on said shell concentrically with said sole plate, spaced above the bottom surface of said sole plate and spaced outwardly from the periphery of said sole plate.
4. In combination With a sadiron having a sole plate oi circular outline, a shell covering said sole plate, a horizontally elongated handle extending across said iron and supported above said shell, and a continuous rail-like element extending around said iron, and supported on said shell concentrically with said sole plate.
