Description
(NO Mod IRON FOR SHIRTS.
No. 429,940. Patented June 10, 1890.
WITNESSES:
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE,
HENRY MYERS, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
IRON FOR SHIRTS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 429,940, dated June 10, 1890.
Application filed December 16, 1889. Serial No. 333,934. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, HENRY MYERS, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Irons for Shirts or other Articles, which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification and accompanying drawings.
My invention consists of -an iron having a flat bottom face and a beveled concave side face, and a handle set near the concave side face, so as to exert the greatest pressure against the head or block of an ironing-board, the side-of said block being inclined or tapering, so as to accord with the beveled side face of the iron.
Figure 1 represents a perspective view of an iron embodying my invention, the same being shown on an ironing-board. Fig. 2 represents a longitudinal vertical section of the iron and board. Fig. 3 represents a perspective view of the iron on an enlarged scale.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures.
Referring to the drawings, Adesignat-es an ironing-board havinga head or block E for sustaining the neck or collar band of a shirt while the same is being ironed. V
C designates an iron,which has two workingfaces, one face D being concave and at the side, and the other face being at the bottom, so as to be employed, as usual, in ironing.
It will be seen that the concave face D is adapted to be presented to the neck or collar band and the iron worked around the band, whereby the same may be nicely, conveniently, and effectively ironed.
In order to increase the pressing action of the iron against the neckband, the concave face D is oblique in vertical direction, or extends at an obtuse angle from the bottom face, and the sides of the block are tapering, or in a measure conical, by which provision the iron takes better hold of the band. The bandle is attached to the iron nearest to the concave side-pressing face thereof, so as to thereby exert the greatest pressure against the block or head of the ironing-board.
It is evident that the use of the surface of the iron is not necessarily limited to collars or neckbands of shirts, as other articles may be ironed by the same.
I am aware that it is old to construct a smoothing-iron with a concave recessed portion in its side; but I am not aware that the walls of the said recessed portion are inclined from the bottom of the iron to the top thereof, so that the iron at all parts of the said recessed portion is in direct contact with the article to be ironed.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
An iron having a Hat bottom-pressing face and a beveled concave side-pressing face, and a handle on the iron near the said side face, to thereby exert the greatest pressure against the head or block of the ironing-board, substantially as described.
HENRY MYERS.
