IMPROVED SAD-STUNE.

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
Be it known that I, H. W. HOPKINS, of Milford, county of Hillsborough, and State of New Hampshire, have invented a new and useful Improved Sad-Stone; and I do'hereby declare that thc fol-lowing is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification.
This invention relates to an article in almost daily use in every family. It is, therefore, important-that it should be as near perfect as possible. It has been ascertained that steatite, commonly lcalled soap-stone, is admirably ,adapted to the purpose of smoothing linen and to take the place of the common sad-iron fin the process of ironing. I am aware that this material has been used for this purpose already, but I am not aware that a reversible steatite sad stone has yet been invented or used, and my invention consists in adapting a steatite sad-stone to the diilerent kinds of work, as ironing and polishing linen and cotton articles, by ailixing to it a reversible handle, as hereinafter described.
Figure 1 represents a plan or top view; and
Figure 2, a side view of the sad-stone.
Similar letters of reference indicate like parts.
A represents the body ofthe sad-stone. The top and bottom (or both sides) of the stone are polished, one side with the corners rounded, as seen in g. 2, for polishing linen, and on the other side (the top side in fig. 2)
the corners are left square for common ironing. B represents the handle. It is attached to the front and back v side of the stone and turns on pivots. The ends of these pivots are seen at a. Crepresents the metallic plates to which the pivots a are attached. These plates are firmly attached to the stone. The portion immediately surroundin the ivots forms a shoulder, b, as seen in the drawino. In ii 1 it will be noticed that there is a v g f l) c g circular projection in this shoulder at the back end of the stone. The lower end of the handle at this end of the stone has a recess in it, which ts this projection on the shoulder, and the two lock together, when the handle stands vertical, as seen in the drawing. To reverse the stone so as to use theother side, the handle is turned down on the pivots from its upright position. To allow of this movement, the lower portion of the handle springs out and the lock portions above described are thrown apart until the stone is reversed, when the handle is locked as before. Thel springing parts of the handle bear against the shoulders with a constant pressure, so that when the handleA stands in an upright position it is fixed sufficiently rigid for all. practical purposes. It requires but a slight extension of strength to reverse the stone.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent- A reversible sad-stone, consisting of the body A, having plates C at both ends, provided with shoulders b, the rear one having a projection thereon, adapted to 'it in a corresponding recess Ain the lower end of the handle B, which is pivoted to the projections, and operating in the manner described for the purpose specied.
The above specification of my invention signed by me this 30th day of October, 1866.
H. W. HOPKINS.
