JOHN A. COOIIRANE, OF CLEVELAND, OHIO.
FLAT-IRON.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. B2773, dated October 7, 1890.
Application filed September 3, 1889. fierial No. 322,892. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN A. COCHRANE, of Cleveland, in the county of Ouyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Flat-Irons; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which i it pertains to make and use the same.
My invention relates to an improvement in flat-irons having a removable handle; and it consists in certain features of construction and in combination of parts hereinafter described, and pointed out in the claim, the ob ject being to lessen the initial cost of this class of flat-iron.
In the accompanying drawings, Figures 1 and 2 are side elevations, the latter being in section. Fig. 3 is a plan of the handle-plate with the handle removed.
A represents the shell or body of the flatiron, the same being hollow and having a removable cover B and having a detachable metal block O inside thereof.
D is the handle-plate, to which the wooden handle E is secured by wood-screws e, countersunk holes being cast in the under side of this plate for receiving the wood-screws.
The casing A should be of metal of good quality, so that it will take a high polish, while the inside block 0 may be of the cheapest grade of cast-iron, worth, perhaps, a cent a pound.
A bolt a is cast in to the center of the bottom member of easing A, such bolt projecting upward far enough to extend through a hole cored in block O and far enough to receive a nut a on top of the block for holding the latter in place. Holes are also cored in block 0 for the passage of bolts 1), that secure cover B; also, countersunk recesses are cored on the under side of block O for receiving nuts b of bolts b. There is, therefore, no drilling, screw-threading of holes, or fitting of any kind in securing these members.
Cover B has a central opening with a crossbar B midway of such opening for engaging the clutch mechanism of the handle-plate. Cover B has upwardly-projecting flanges B between which the handle-plate D fits loosely. Plate D has a depending inclined lug D for engaging cross-bar B.
F is a lever having lateral teats f at the one end thereof that serve as a fulcrum, these teats resting in corresponding depressions or seats (1, cast in the top surface of plate D close to where one leg of the handle joins this plate.
A flat spring G is inserted between the wooden handle and plate D, the spring having a hole for receiving a wood-screw that fastens the handle. This spring rests on top of lever F and holds the latterin its depressed position, and also holds the teats to their seat.
Lever F has a depending head F, that extends loosely through a slot in' plate D, this head having a vertical face or shoulder f for engaging cross-bar B, and thereby holding lug D against the cross-bar with the lower end of the lug projecting underneath the crossbar, as shown in Fig. 2.
Lever F has attached a thun1b-knob II, by means of which the lever may be tilted upward against the action of spring G, and when this lever is thus elevated lug D may be engaged with or disengaged from the cross-bar in attaching or detaching the handle plate to and from the fiat-iron.
What I claim is- In a fiat-iron, the combination of members A, B, and O, substantially as indicated, member C having holes and recesses cored therein for receiving the securing bolts and nuts that fastens these members together, member A having a bolt cast in for securing it to member O, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
In testimony whereof I sign this specification, in the presence of two witnesses, this 19th day of July, 1889.
JOHN A. COOI-IRANE.
