arah Francesfirierson', Ro'slin'dal'e, Mass. Application Fa e-y 2, 1948,.Serial No. we
This invention 'relates to improvements in hand electric crimping irons for flexible material such as curtains, other types of fabric, human hair or the like, and is directed more particularly "to the provision of a uniqueruffling or crimping iron adapted to be connected'to a source of electrical current in such a way that desired material may be efficiently and"'easily ruffled or crirnped "at home and without aid from some other'operator. G v I It is a principal object of the invention to provide a manually engageable ruflling or crimping iron which includes a relatively stationary body part adapted to be heated by electricity, and a relatively movable member which is not connected to the source of electrical supply but is arranged to cooperate with the heated body part in such a way as to effect crimping of the material, which as will presentlyappe'ar, is intended to be held between the movable andstationary parts" during the ruining or crimping operation. The device of the invention is simple in form so as to be capable of ready and economical manufacture, and the arrangement is such that the home operator may quickly perform the desired treatment with ease.
Various other objects and advantages of the invention will become more apparent after a reading of the following description of the present preferred embodiment thereof and reference will be had to the accompanying drawings.
In the drawings,
Figure 1 is a top plan view of the rufiiing or crimping electric iron of the invention,
Figure 2 is a side sectional view partially shown in elevation, taken along the line 22 of Figure 1 as viewed in the direction indicated by the arrows, and
Figure 3 is a sectional view on the line 3-3 of Figure 1.
Referring now to the drawing more in detail, the invention will be fully described.
There is a block-like member 2 and this preferably consists of a metallic plate-like part, somewhat rectangular in shape, and provided with a substantially centrally located opening 4 therethrough. Extending upwardly from the upper side of member 2, and preferably integral therewith, is a pair of spaced ears 8, clearly shown in Figure 3.
Extending through the opening 4 is a longitudinally extending heating member ID, which includes an outer jacket ll usually of metal and rod-like in form. The forward end portion of this member IE3 is socketed and interio'rly threadas indicated at 12 in Figure 2.
I Threaded into this socket is the rear end por tion M of a relatively stationary body member, indicated generally by the numeral- 5. This body member also includes a plurality of spaced fingers it which project forwardly from a transverse part 25 connected to the forward end of the portion 54 As shown, the whole member IE is an integral unit and while made of metal may be made in various ways.
On the rear end of the heating member ID is suitably hollowhandle 30 for facilitating manipulation of the device as will later be described, and into the longitudinally extending opening in this handle th'e're runs an electric cord C adapted to have its outer end connected to a source of electrical energy. i
This cord is attached to a heating element 32 disposed within the jacket H and this'may be insulated, in the usual way, by suitable material indicated clearly in Figure 2. The ears 8 are provided with horizontally aligned holes for receiving a pin member 34 and pivoted on this pin member 34 between the ears 8, is a movable forked member indicated generally by the numeral 40 and now to be described.
This member 48- includes a more or less longitudinally extending rod-like support 42 having a handle 44 on its rear end. On the forward end of the part 42 is a transverse portion 44 and from this portion 44 there extends a plurality of spaced fingers 46.
These fingers 46 are substantially similar to parts [8 previously described but, according to the preferred form shown, they depend downwardly from the lower side of part 44 and then extend forwardly at an angle to the said downwardly depending part in parallel and coplanar relation with one another. Further, in order that the fingers 46 may cooperate with the heated fingers I8 for crimping action, the former are so spaced and arranged with respect to the longitudinal axis of the tool of the invention as to lie between the fingers l8 when the movable member is pivoted into operative relation with the stationary member. While in the drawing, there are shown four fingers l8 and three fingers 46 disposed in the spaces between the former, it will be understood that any number of such fingers may be employed.
In order that the forward portion of member 40 may be urged downwardly into operative position on its pivot pin 34, suitable spring means is provided therefor. In the form shown, this consists of a U-shaped clip-like member 50 having its closed end portion slightly curved and bent downwardly to engage the upper side of transverse part 44 while the free end portions of its respective arms engage under the pin 34 and they may be even bent over to bear against the rear surface of block 2.
In any event, in use of the device, the operator will grasp the handle 3|] in one hand and with a finger of that hand depress handle 44 against the spring means so as to lift fingers 46 away from fingers l8. Then the desired material may be placed between this space between the respective sets of fingers, after which the handle 44' may be released, whereupon the heat crimping through the cooperating and now horizontally aligned fingers may be carried out.
It has been found desirable to have the rod part 42 offset as shown in Figure 2. This makes for greater efficiency when swinging the movable member on its pivot.
I do not mean to confine myself to the exact details of construction herein disclosed, but claim all variations falling within the purview of the appended claims.
What I claim is:
1. An electric hand iron for rufiling or crimping a pliable body of strand material comprising a supporting block formed with a central opening therein, a hollow tubular member extending through said opening and removably secured to said supporting block, a handle on one end of said member, a, relatively stationary forked element threadedly carried by the other end of said member, an electric heating element in said tubular member in end abutting heat exchange mentioned forked element, and spring means adapted to urge said movable forked element into 4 interlocking relationship with said relatively stationary forked element whereby said supporting block and said relatively stationary forked element may be removed from said tubular member for facilitating replacement and repair of said heating element.
2. An electric hand iron for rufiling or crimping a pliable body of strand material comprising a supporting block, a tubular member removably carried by said block, a handle on one end of said tubular member, a forked element threaded into the other end of said member, an elongated heating element disposed in said member with one end thereof abutting said forked element for heat exchange therewith, a pair of upstanding ears formed on said block, a, pivot pin carried by said ears, an elongated rod rockably mounted on said pivot pin with the sides thereof spaced inwardly relative to said ears, a second forked element carried by one end of said rod including a cross member and spaced apart fingers extending therefrom and adapted to be received between the spaced fingers of said first named forked element, and a U-shaped spring member having the legs thereof.extendingbetween said pivot-pin and said block on opposite sides of said rod and the connecting portion thereof resiliently engaging said cross member for constantly urging the fingers on said forked elements into co-planar relationship. 1
