JENNIE WINTERINGER, OF PITTSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA.

IRON-HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 647,549, dated April 1'7", 1900. Application filed. October 4, 1899. Serial No. 732.562. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Beit kn own that l, JENNIE WINTEEINGER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Pittsburg, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented or discovered a new and useful Improvement in Iron-Holders, of which the following isa full, clear, and eX- act description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which- Figure l is a face view of my improved holder. Fig. 2 is an edge view. Fig. 3` is a transverse section taken on the line III III of Fig. l. Fig. t is a face view, partially broken away, exposing the various fabrics and materials composing the holder.

My invention consists of an improved holder for flat-irons and similar articles and is de-` signed to protect the hand from the heat of the handle. It is composed of certain materials and fabrics assembled and joined togetherin the manner I shall now proceed to describe. v

Referring to the drawings, the holder is composed of two halves, which may be rectanguiar, circular, or of any desired or preferred form, joined at the edges by stitched seams 2, and in making the article it is stitched or sewed, thus neatly joining the sides around the edges, the intervening space being unconnected. Each side is formed of an outer layer of soft-finish ticking or other strong flexible fabric 3, upon which is laid a layer of asbestos-cloth 4, then a layer of cotton 5., and finally a layer of muslin 6. These four layers of material are joined together by transverse seams 7 in the manner known as quilting, thus compactly forming a pad of considerable thickness having the innerand outer layers of muslin and ticking and the intervening layer of cotton-batting, giving substance and softness to the holder and the layer of asbestos cloth acting as a non-conductor of heat.

The asbestos cloth should be comparatively thin in order to allow of the sewing, and as two layers are employed in the entire holder the non-conducting action will be sufficient.

By making the holder in two halves, with an intervening free space, its lexibility is increased materially and the gripping action of the hand facilitated.

At one corner is attached-a ring 8, by which the holder may be suspended when not in use.

As thus constructed my improved holder is strong, durable, and inexpensive, well adapted to the purpose in view, and will be appreciated by users of this class of articles. The asbestos cloth completely prevents the passage of heat to the hand, the cotton-batting supplies the necessary softness and substance, while the inner and outer layers of muslin and ticking sewed together in the manner' I have described firmly attach and hold the parts together, preventing rubbing, wear, or disarrangement of the various layers.

Changes and variations may be made in the material employed as a surrounding covering or to provide the cushion or in the shape without departing from my invention, since I do not desire to be limited to the exact construction shown and described, but to include such changes as would be made by the skilled mechanic to adapt the invention to use.

What I claim is- 1. A holder consisting of two sides of ilexible material, joined at the edges, each side comprising inner and outer walls of flexible material, with an intervening layer of a nonconductor of heat and a layer of cushioning substance respectively.

2. A holder consisting of two sides of ilexible material, joined at the edges, each side comprising inner and outer walls of flexible material, with an intervening layer of a nonconductor of heat and a layer of cushioning substance respectively all of the layers being attached together by quilting-stitching.

3. A holder consisting of two sides of flexible material, joined at the edges, each side comprising inner and outer walls of muslin and ticking an intervening layer of asbestos cloth and a layer of cotton-batting, quilted together.

4:. The combination, in an iron-holder, of two sides of flexible material joined at the edges, each side comprising inner and outer walls of flexible material, an intervening layer of asbestos cloth and a layer of cushioning substance respectively, all of the layers being attached together by stitching, and a suspending-ring secured to the edge of the holder.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand.

JENNIE WINTERINGER.
