for the iron for longer periods. Another object v is to provide a storage support which will support the iron pointed end down, which is the neatest position therefor, and which will hold the'iron safely against displacement and yet allow the iron to be quickly and easily put in place or removedas may be required. A further object is to provide an iron holder which is readily adjustable to irons of different widths, which holds the iron only by the sides of its shoe to prevent marring the highly polished plated upper surfaces of the iron, and is exceedingly simple, neat and attractive in appearance, and inexpensive.
inner ends of said base flanges.
and forwardly projecting iron engaging flanges" or rims 2] extending along and turned from the 'As best shown in Figs. 2 and 3 the mounting screws are held in place and the members l6| 1 clamped tight by acorn nuts 22 at the rear of the plate In and these units will then act nicely as feet to support the plate in a horizontal position on an ironingtable or other support.
As seen to best advantage in Fig. 3, but as @180 evident in Fig. 1, the flanges 2| angle or converge in a forward direction with respect to each other and thus fit the correspondingly upwardly and converging lateral edges 23 of the iron shoe or sole plate l8. It will now be apparent that the iron may be placed upon the plate Ill and moved pointed end foremost between the members is and I 1- until the edges of the shoe are engaged by the flanges 2 I. By their angular positions the These and other more detailed and specific ob- 20 flanges 2| will then hold the iron to the plate and jects will be disclosed in the .course of'the following specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Fig. 1 is a frontal elevation of my improved holder showing a pressing iron supported point down therein.
Fig; 2is a side elevation of the holder alone.
Fig. 3 is a fragmentary sectional view along the line 3-3 in Fig. v1.
Referring now more particularly and by reference characters'to the drawing, I0 designates generally a rectangular bas or back plate of heat resisting or insulating material and which forms a supporting surface for a pressing iron I l. The corners l2 of the plate In may be rounded ofi as shown and at the center of one end of the plate there is provided means by which the plate may be suspended in a generally upright position upon a wall or other support. As here shown such means comprises a metal tab l3 secured'to the plate by a rivet I and having a key-hole slot I 5 to engage a nail or screw in the-wall, as will be. readily understood.
To hold the iron II I provide a pair of retaining or supporting members indicated generally at I8 and I1 which are mounted on the forward face of the plate III in downwardly converging, transversely spaced positions, these members also being incurved or arcuately formed to correspond to the usual forwardly rounded and pointed shape of the bottom shoe or sole plate I'8 of the iron. More particularly .the members l6 and II are formed from metal strips and have base or mounting flanges I9 adapted'to be secured by screws 20 at upper and lower ends to the plate,
forward tapers or shapes.
(when the latter is hung in an upright position these flanges will prevent both forward and downward displacement of the iron. The iron may simply be lowered between the flanges until it comes to rest securely supported with its pointedor forward end down, and as will be apparent in Fig. 1 the iron thus will be attractively supported and displayed.
Referring also to Fig. 1 it will be noted that I provide, for the reception of the upper mounting screws 20, arcuate slots 24 which are out in the mounting flanges l9, and this-construction permits the upper endsof the support members l6l'| to be adjusted, swinging about the lower end pivots formed by the lower screws 20,, to ace commodateirons of different widths and different It is found that this adjustment with proper initial curvature of the members l6 and II will make it possible to fit all commonly used, modern irons very nicely.
The narrow flanges 2| engage only the sides 23 of the, iron shoe I 8 and this is suflicient to obtain a positive grip on'the iron, makes the I structure .neater and more clean cut in appearance and insures that the usual highly polished plated surfaces of the body of the iron will not be marred in any way.
It is understood that suitable modificati may be made in the structure as disclosed, provided such modifications come within the-spirit and scope of the appended claims.
3 described, 'a plate of heat resisting material adapted to be hung in an upright position from a support, retaining means for the iron comprising downwardly converging members attached to the forward face of the plate and projecting angularly forward therefrom for laterally engaging the iron and holding it'in a point down position on the plate, and said membersbeing pivotally attached at lower ends to the plate and relatively swingable at upper ends-about said pivots to vary the spacing between the members and fit them to irons of different widths.
2. In a pressing iron holder of the character described, a plate of heat resisting material adapted to be hung in an upright position from a support, retaining means for the iron comprisingwdownwardly converging members attached to the forward face of the plate and projecting anfile of this patent:
gularly forward therefrom i'or laterally engaging I the iron and holding it in a point down position on the plate, and said members being pivotally attached at lower ends to the plate and arcuately slotted for the reception of fasteners at their upper ends whereby said upper ends may be relatively adjusted to accommodate irons of diflerent widths..
