UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
GEORGE J. PRENTISS, OF FALL RIVER, BIASSACHUSETTS.
POLISHINGr-IRON.
Speccation of Letters Patent No. 25,850, dated October` 18, 1859*.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE J. PRENTIss, of Fall River, in the county of Bristol and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Polishing-Irons; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which- Figure l represents a perspective view of my improved polishing iron, showing the manner of holding the iron when using it. Fig. 2 is a side view of a polishing iron now in common use.
To enable those skilled in the art of polishing bosoms, collars, &c., to understand the object and use of my invention, I will proceed to describe its construction and operation.
The object of my invention is to furnish the ironer with a polishing iron of a novel construction whereby he can apply both hands to the work and in this manner exert a much greater pressure upon the iron, the result of which is that the garments will receive a finer polish and in a much less time than where one hand only is used with the ordinary iron which is shown by Fig. 2 of the drawings.
The advantage gained in the use of my peculiar iron is that the ironer has more control over it and he can adapt the polishing surface of the iron to every part of a garment with greater ease and facility. The surface of the iron itself is also kept clean so that it will not be defaced by exposing it to the tire, which for this particular purpose is a great advantage not only in a saving of time, in smoothing and cleaning the polishing surface, but this surface being always kept smooth the garments are never soiled in the polishing operation.
My iron requires no additional iron holder as the handles can be provided with wooden holders,-though the greatest advantage in the practical use of my iron is the facility with which it can be handled and the amount of pressure which can be exerted by using both hands, instead of one in the usual method, thus enabling man, woman or child to do the work with great ease.
My invention consists in furnishing a cylindrical or other shaped vessel of any suitable size which constitutes the polisher, with two metal handles, to be cast with the cup, or they may be riveted to it afterward; these handles are then provided with wooden handles to protect the hands from being burned. The bottom of the cup or polishing surface is made convex, with a liange projecting from said cup all as hereinafter described.
By reference to Figure l the cup is represented by A, which may be cylindrical or other suitable shape, and of any size required. This cup which constitutes the polishing iron proper is hollow and has a con vex bottom with an annular flange B, projecting from'the bottom edge. This flange is found very useful for polishing under the buttons on the garments where the old form of iron will not reach on account of its peculiar shape (shown by Fig. 2). This flange is found useful for many purposes in the operation. The cup A which is of cast iron receives the heater I) which is simply solid core with a provision in its top for removing it when in a heated state. This coreV D fits loosely in the cup A and is removed from the cup when it gets cooled 0E and replaced by a similar one which is previously heated. Several of these heaters may be 'used and kept on the fire so that no time will be lost in waiting for them to heat when the ironing commences.
C is a curved handle projecting from the top of the cup A, and either cast or riveted to it. This handle isv furnished with a straight wooden handle G which is grasped with the right hand. E is a similar handle proceeding out from the opposite side of the cup A and furnished with a handle F placed at right angles to handle E so as to be readily grasped with left hand as clearly represented by Fig. l.
It will be seen by this description of my improved polishing iron that in using the same both hands can be brought into act-ion and that the entire pressure will be concentrated upon one given point, While at the and described, or in any other manner subsame time the ironer vvill have a perfect constantially, the same for the purposes herein trol over the movements of his iron. mentioned.
What I claim as my invention and desire GEO. J. PRENTISS. 5 to secure by Letters Patent is- Vitnesses:
The polishing cup A as set forth having FREDERIC A. BOOMER, two handles C, E arranged as represented JOSEPH DUNNING. 1 4
