To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JOSEPH BARIS, a subject of the Czar of Russia, and a resident of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gas-Heated Tailors Irons, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of my invention is to provide an improved gas heated pressing iron for tailors in which the ignited gas and the products of combustion generated thereby will thoroughly distribute itself over and heat the bottom plate of the iron and yet be so disposed of as to prevent the radiation from the upper surface thereof from burning the hand of the operator manipulating it. This I accomplish by simple and cheap mechanism, substantially as hereinafter fully described, and as particularly pointed out in the claims.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved iron. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the same, showing it open.

Fig. 3 is a vertical central section taken on line 3 3, Fig. 4. Fig. 4 is a vertical transverse section taken on dotted line 4 4, Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is a horizontal section taken on dotted line 5 5, Fig. 3.

Referring to the drawings, A represents the lower section of a sad-iron consistin of a bottom plate of the usual shape and pomted either at one or both ends and having its edges a flanged upward to a corresponding extent all around. The upper section of cover B of the iron consists of a top plate of the same dimensions as the. bottom plate A and side walls 1), formed by flanging the edges of the top late downward, which are almost twice the depth of the flanged edges a of said bottom. This up er section B is hinged to one of the flangerf side edges of the bottom section, preferably midway its length, and when said upper section is closed over the lower section the edges of the former rest upon the edges of the latter and the two parts can be locked together by means of a dog or hook c, which is hinged to the side of the top'section of the iron opposite the hinge and engages a suitable stud or pin 0, secured to and projecting from the side of the bottom section, substantially. as shown in the drawings. The to plate has two bosses e e proj ecting down om its under side in alinement with the longitudinal vertical plane intersecting the points of the iron, and secured to these bosses by means of screws 6 passing through its top is an inverted box-shaped airchamber D. This chamber is of such dimensions that its sides, which are made by flanging the edges of its to plate downward and which are parallel wit the side walls of the upper section, are separated from the outer shell of the sad-iron a suitable distance. This air-chamber D is connected with the outer atmosphere by means of suitable air-inlets X, located at the forward and rear ends of said chamber, and permits of a circulation of air such as is necessary for the pro er combustion of the gas. The bottom of t s chamber D consists of a perforated plate E, which corresponds in design and dimensions to the top of said chamber, and is secured by means of screws (1 d to studs (1 d, made integral with v and projecting u from the bottom of the lower section of t e sad-iron.

Screwed onto and suspended on the end of a pipe F, extending through the center of the top of the upper section of the sad-iron within the chamber D, is an elliptical shaped drum G, the under convexed surface of which is perforated. This drum is of such dimensions that it does not come in contact with the walls of the air-chamber and is so located that its under side is near the perforated bottom of chamber D when the sadiron is closed. The upper end of pipe F has suitably connected to it above the top of the iron an elbow g, and extending horizontally from this elbow is a nipple K. Nipple K extends past one of the uprights of the handle H of the iron, and this nipple is connected by a suitable flexible tube I to the gas-fixture.

In operation thegas is turned on by properly manipulating a suitable cook or valve J,

connected to the outer end of the nipple K, and enters the drum G, and the gas is lighted, preferably when the iron is open. The iron is then closed, and the ignited gas is divided into small jets and flames by being assed through the perforated bottom of t e airchamber and comes in contact with the bot tom of the iron, which it thoroughly heats. The products of combustion pass from between the bottom of the air-chamber and the bottom of the iron up between the sides of the air-chamber and the sides of the upper with the outer atmosphere and having a perforate bottom, and a gas-distributer inclosed within said air-chamber and connected with a suitable exteriorly-placed source of fuelsupply.

2. A self-heating sad-iron comprising a hollow upper section having erforated sides,

a hollow lower section hinge thereto, an interiorly-located air-chamber held out of contact with the walls of said sections, communiting with the outer atmosphere and having a perforate bottom, and a as-distributer inclosed within said air-chamber and connected with a suitable eXteriorly-placed source of fuel-supply.

3. A self heating sad-iron comprisin a .hollow upper section having perforated sides, a hollow lower section hinged thereto, an interiorly-located airchamber communicating with the outer atmosphere and having a perforate bottom, and a gas-distributer suspended within said air-c'hamber out of contact with the walls thereof and having perforations in the under side of the same and connected with a suitable eXteriorly-placed source of fuel-supply.

4. A self-heating sad iron comprising a hollow upper section having perforated sides, a hollow lower section hinged thereto, an interiorly-located air-chamber which is held out of contact with the shells of said sections and has a perforate bottom, and a suitable gas-distributer suspended within said airchamber out of contact with the walls thereof, and which has suitable perforations in the under side thereof, and is connected with a sillitable exteriorly-placed source of fuel-supo y. p 5. A self-heating sad-iron comprising a hollow upper section having perforated sides, a hollow lower section hinged thereto, an interiorly-located air-chamber which is heldout of contact with the shells of said sections and has a perforate bottom, a suitable gasdistributer suspended within said air-chamber out of contact with the walls thereof, and which has'suitable perforations in the under side thereof, and a suitable eXteriorly-plaeed valve-controlled source of fuel-supply with which said gas-distributer is connected.
