This invention relates to electric irons. n An object of the invention concerns the provision of an electric iron which is adapted to efficiently iron materials of delicate/texture,
a such as velvets, satins, crepes, chiffons, etc.
'are herein'afterfdescribed and claimed and` shown in the accompanying drawing.
' Athat theiron be held in such an awkward and In the operation of ironing delicate fabrics, Lsuch as satins, crepes, chiffons, velvets, etc.,
it is a well-known fact that it is impossible to.
iron these materials except by runnin iron over one face of the material. If, t erefore, the material were placed on an ironing board or other surface in the usual manner, with this face upward, then the other face, which is of the most importance when the material `is made into a dress or other garment, would be marred or injured by the pressure of the iron and by contact with the supporting surface. Therefore, in order to avoid this injury, it has been heretofore customary to ironsuch surfaces on thedesired face by merely running the iron over the surlface while the garment or the fabric is supported from some suitable point. In the use of the ordinary iron, this operation requires inconvenient manner that ,oftentimes the 0perator burns.l the hands.v i 5 My invention in general' involves the provision of an iron electrically heatedvand of aV suitable form and construction which is pro' vided with ahandle portion suitably attached thereto which is disposed in a plane apart from the ,plane of the heated surface and is adapted to swing around in this plane and be afljusted'in any position with respect to the body portion of the iron. Thispossible rotation of the handle portion permits it at times to extend in a direction away from the Application `for body portion, and at other times to extend in a direction over the body portion. In the first extended position of the handle, the handle can be gripped to manipulate the iron and, at the same time, the heating surface of Y the iron is at a maximum distance from the hand, whereby injury `.will not result from `the operation of the iron in the manner above described. When the handle is swung in the other direction, to extend over the body portion, the handle can be gripped and the iron used as an ordinary iron with the application of any desired pressure thereto.
ejinvention is illustrated in the drawingl of which:
Figure 2 is a vertical longitudinal section taken through the iron and the handle.
The preferred form of my invention, as shown in the drawing, comprises an iron of any suitable size, weight 'or form, preferably somewhat of the form shown in the drawing, which comprises a body portion having a. lower section 1 and an upper section 2. The lower section 1 is provided with a. heating surface such as 3. Both portions of the body portion, particularly the lower part, may be made of any suitable metal, such as steel or cast iron, as desired. The characteristies or qualities of the material of which the body portion may be made is determined by the working conditions and requirements desired of the iron. For convenience, the
On the top of the cover portion adjacent the insulating block 13 there is disposed a base portion, suchas 24. This base portion provides a suitable support for a handle 25. The base portion is provided with apertures throu h which certain of the above mentione screws extend. The base portion is also provided with a downwardly projecting flange portion 26, lwhich extends along the rear edge of the cover portion and which isI connected thereto by suitable screws 27. On
its upper Lface base portion 24 is provided with an exteriorly threaded projecting boss y28. The electrical heating element is dis osed within the body portion, substantially beneath the boss 28. This boss is bored at 29 to permit of the passage of the terminall Part of the handle,
wires 23 `therethrou h.
. in the form of an el ow portion 30, is bored as at 31 throughout its length, and at its end is interiorly t rcaded to be received on boss 28. The main body portion of the handle is' in the form vof a horizontally extending portion 32 hollowed out to permit of the passage Vof the terminal wires above mentioned and provided Withan'embracing sleeve 33, which may be of any suitable -material, such as wood; 'The base ortion 24 and the elbow portion 30, including the handleportion 32,
weights of the parts'can be adopted at will.
What I claim is: f Y 1. An electric iron comprising a body portion, a heatin element within the body portion, a hollow oss disposed on the rear upper surface of the body portion, terminals for the heating element, said element bein disposed within the body portion substantialIy beneath the boss, a hollow handle provided with an elbow engaging the boss, circuit wires extending through the handle and engaging with the terminals, and means for adjusting the handle in a plurality of positions with refspectv to the body portion. v
2. An electric iron which comprises a body portion, an adjustable hollow elbowconnected to the upper rear end of the body portion, and a hollow handle portion connected to the ,free end of the elbow and adapted to extend rearwardlyv of the body portion in one position of the elbow and electric circuit wires carried in protective relation within said handle.
3. An electric iron which comprises a body portion, a threaded boss on the body portion, a handle having threaded engagement with the boss to permit adjustable positioning 'of lthe handle thereon and a set screw on the handle disposed in a bore therein, said set screw adapted to be adjusted to engage with the threads on the boss to lock the handle in any desired position.
4. An electric iron comprising a body portion with a boss on its rear upper surface only, a handle having a substantially straight grip portion, a rotary connection between one end of the handle and said boss, spacing the handle`in a plane apart from the plane of the body portion and enablin the handle to be turned in its plane to di erent working positions, the handle in one position extend-v ing rearwardl of the body portion so that it can be grippe at a substantial distance from the body portion, and in another position extendin directly over the body portion, and a device or fixing the handle to the boss for use in said positions, the handle being supported only by its connection at one end with said boss.
In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification.
