SUPPORT FOR CQRLING'OR CRIMPING IRONS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 605,807, dated June 14, 1898.

Application filed October 11, 1897. Serial No. 654,867. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that 1, JAMES H. PAIGE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Manches ter, in the county of Hillsboroughand State of New Hampshire, have invented certain new and usefullmprovements in Supports for Curling or Crimping 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 it appertains to make and use the same.

The invention consists of a holder or support for curling or crimping irons, and relates to a peculiarly-constructed device for supporting the iron during the operation of heat-. ing the same.

The object of the invention is to provide'a rest or holder for the iron, and thus avoid the necessity of the user holdingthe iron in the flame of a gas-jet or lamp until the iron is' sufficiently heated for use.

The invention will be hereinafter describedtended to be used on a gas-burner.

' The holder is preferably made of a continuous piece of wire of suitable size. I

1 represents the base, 2 the body of the holder, and 3 the support, which sustains the entire device on the top-of a lamp-chimney and which may also be used as a rest or sup port for the crimping or curling iron.

The base 1 is a large single coil or convolution having its free end bent underneath,

and which after being formed substantially circular is bent radially from the circumference of the ring or base, toward the center, and then form ed into a series of convolutions smaller than the base, and finally bent horizontally, so as to form aloop'3, half of which projects'to each side of the series of smaller convolutions, as shown. These arms of the loop or support 3 are of sufficient length to extend across and be supported by the top of a lamp-chimney. J

The end of the wire at the top maybe bent at a right angle to the body of the loop or support 3, and a wooden handle may be secured thereto, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1, so thatwhen the holder becomes hot it may be readily handled by the user. In this examv ple of the invention the holder is laid across the top of a lamp-chimney, with the loop or support 3 resting on the edges of the chimney and the body portion 2, comprising the series of spirals or convolutions, substantially tubular, and the base 1 will be suspended in the chimney. The crimping or curling-iron is inserted in the opening or tube formed by the coils. The base being much larger than the convolutions above, it will center the holderthat is to say, its larger circumference of the device shouldtilt or be moved to one'side, would come into contact with the narrower walls of the lamp-chimney below its flaringtop, and thus prevent the holder from falling into the chimney.

first vertically and then horizontally, as at 5, and this horizontal part or arm is formed with two'or more coils 6 6.

In this instance the holder is used over a gas-burner, the burner being inside the smaller convolutions and the larger base resting on the gas-bracket, so that it will be firm and steady.

The curling or, crimping iron is inserted through the coils 6 6 in the lateral arm at the top and projects into the gas-flame and is thus heated. v v

While I have shown the holder made of The iron may be heated by laying it hori- The part of the holder 4: for the l wire, and this is the preferred form, it is evident that it might be made of sheet metal, so as to have the same function and structure.

The holder is easily and cheaply made and very handy and effective in use.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A holder for curling or crimping irons during the operation of heating, comprising an enlarged non-elastie base, a smaller substantially tubular body portion formed as a continuation thereof, and an arm or support at the top for receiving and supporting the iron, substantially as described.

2. A holder for curling or crimping irons during the operation of heating, composed of a continuous piece of Wire, having an enlarged base of a single coil, a series of smaller coils above the base, and a lateral loop or support extending on each side of the body portion, substantially as and for the purposes described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

JAMES II. PAIGE.
