IMPROVEMENT IN sMooTHlNe-mous.
Specification formingpart of Letters Patent No. 136,170, dated February 25, 1873.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, LoUIs` L. MIVELAR, of the city of Louisville, county of J eiferson and State ot' Kentucky, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Smoothing-Iron fbr'thepurpose of Ironing Clothes, of which lthe following is a specitication:
This invention consists in an iron made somewhat similar to those now in use, except that it has a small iange around the lower edges (projecting about-three-eighths of an inch from the sides) terminating in a sharp edge at the point which extends up the thickness ot' the iron, which iron is also provided with an adjustable handle, a portion of which is fastened permanently in the top ot' the iron and is made in the shape of a half-circle, the prongs ot' which stand up the usual height for a handle, and made sufficiently wide i apart to receive the loose handle. Thisvhandie is madeina separatepiece with pins cast in the ends, one ot' which enters a hole in the top of the front prongof the handle, while the other enters a similar hole by means ot' a slot in the side of the other. The object ot' this my'invention is to provide an iron that will be at all times neat, cheap, and easily loperated, and at the same time one that will not tear olithe buttons ot' garments while in the process of ironing, which is generally the casel with the old style ot' irony when used without my improvement; and also one the handle ot' which is not liable to be heated at Y the saine time with the iron, but is so constructed as to be taken out while in the process, and thereby avoid the necessity of injuring the hands by accident or otherwise.
Figure 1 is a perspective ot the iron, showing the flange at the sides and also the gcneral arrangement of the handle. Fig. 2 is an end ,view of the handle, showing the slot in the side where the p in enters it..
In the drawing, A is the body of the iron, which is made similar in shape and size to the ordinaryiron. Bis a flange around the lower edges even with the bottom or face. This torn oft' by the iron.
the last-named anges where they form the f liange is made to project about three-cighths of an inch from the iron, and is beveled down on the upper side nearly to a sharp edge and terminates in a sharp edge extending up the point of the iron. O is a small groove in the body of the iron at the base otthe iiange in order to prevent large buttons from being D is the termination ot' point of the iron. E is the stationary part of the handle, which handle is made the usual height and nearly in the shape ot' half a circle, with rounded ends to the prongs and a hole through each in which to insert the pins ot' the loose handle, one ot' which holes is cut out at the side in order to permit the pin to tnterfrom the side, and when in its place the loose handle is held -lirmly in its place by means of the eccentric form of the boss of the stationary handle Where the projection of the loose handle rests on it, so that all thatpis necessary is to twist the handle slightly when in its place` and it becomes fastened ready for use. F is the loose handle, which is made of cast-iron or other material, with small pins in the ends and a projection above them, as shown in the drawing, in order to keep the hand from coming in contact with the heated part of the handle and beinginjured thereby.
Having thus fully described the drawing, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. The flange B, terminating in the point D, in combination with the `groove c and body A ot' the iron, when arranged, constructed, and operated substantially as and for the purpose set forth. y
2. The combination of the stationary and -loose handles E and F, as above described, when arranged, constructed, and operated substantially as and for the purpose hereinbefore set forth.
LOUIS L. MIVELAR.
