This invention relates to a stand, or support, for hot laundry irons and has" for its principal object provision of a device of the'character designated which shall be simple of design, economical of manufacture, durable in use, and one which shall be capable of withstanding a high degree of temperature without transmitting suiiicient heatv to endanger inflammable'substances with which' it might come in contact. f
A device'embodying-features of vmy invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, Iforming a part vof this application, in'which:
Fig. 1 is a plan view olfan iron stand made in accordance with my invention and shown mounted on an ironing board;y 'f
Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line II-II of Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken along the line III-III of Fig. 1; and
Fig. 4 is a side elevation of my invention taken along the line IV-IV of Fig. l showing a modied means for attaching it to an ironing board.
Referring to the drawing my improved laundry iron support embodies a sheet metal, pan-like inner shell I0 having upstanding sides and |2 which converge and join at the front, and with an upstanding back wall |3 at the rear, which is joined to the sides and |2. Telescoped over the inner shell |ll is an outer shell I4 which is joined to the inner shell by any suitable means and which, around its upper edge, is turned over, inwardly, at I6 and then downwardly as shown at l1 to form a downwardly opening channel |8 which extends all around the iron. A handle |9 is joined to the rear end by means of screws 2| which pass through the inner and outer shells and into the handle. The bot-Y tom 22 of the stand is provided with key hole slots 23 and 24 Which are spaced to receive the heads of protruding screws 26 and 21 in the ironing board 28, thereby to secure the stand to the ironing board by an endwise motion.
Extending along the sides of the stand from the back wall I3 to the front of the stand where they meet and abut each other are two pads 29 and 3| of fibrous insulating material, such as spun glass, the pads being retained in place by means of an outer covering of fabric 32 made of insulating fiber, such as spun glass. The pads extend upwardly, as shown in Fig. 3 of the drawing, into the downwardly opening channel I8 of the outer shell, which channel serves to hold the upper edges of the pads in place. Also, as shown in Fig. 3 of the drawing, the pads are of such thickness that they extend inwardly a sub- 2 Claims. (Cl. 24S-117.3)
stantial distance beyond the channel Vl 8, as shown at 33 and 34 so as to prevent a. heated iron from coming in contact with the metal of the stand and heating it. Also extending across the rear of the stand is a pad 36 of fibrous insulating material which is similar in all respects to the pads 29` and 3| extending along the sides. -The pad 36 is of such length that it bears at its ends against the side pads 29 and 3| and aids in holding them in place. Also, it will be seen, that the upper end of the pad 36 extends into the channel |8 whereby it is held rmly in place along its upper edge.
Fitting snugly within-the bottomof the stand is abottom-pad 31 of fibrous material, Vsuch as the spun glass material employed in the side and end pads, which pad ts snugly against the side pads 29 and 3| and against the end pad 36. Fitting over the bottom pad 31 is a relatively stiff board of insulating material 38, such as asbestos board which bears snugly against the side pads v29 and 3| and the end pad 36 and serves to hold them firmly in place. Also, it furnishes a relatively rugged wearing surface upon which the iron, indicated in dotted lines at 39, is to rest.
From the foregoing it will be apparent that I have devised an extremely rugged, yet simple and economical, insulated iron support in which the several parts are readily assembled and in which the insulation is ample to prevent any accident from an overheated iron and sturdy enough to withstand long wear and hard usage. It will also be apparent that the side and end pads 29. 3| and 36 are so located that an iron cannot slip off the support or the ironing board. I have found in the actual use of stands constructed in accordance with this invention that with side and bottom pads of iiber glass of approximately one half inch in thickness and with an asbestos board cover of approximately one fourth of an inch in thickness that a heated iron -may be left on the stand indefinitely without igniting the cover on the ironing board beneath it. I have also found that stands constructed in accordance with this invention will withstand Referring to Fig. 4 of the drawing, I show a modified means of securing the stand 40 to the ironing board 28. In accordance with this modication, I provide an elongated spring 4| with 3 hooks 42 and 43 on the ends thereof for engaging the ends of the stand with the spring 4l extending beneath the ironing board as shown. With either this form or that shown in Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawing, I provide a means whereby 5 the stand may be readily attached to and detached from the ironing board.
While I have shown my invention in but two forms, it wilhbejobviqusto thosersvlilledin the, art that it is not so limited, but 'issusceptibleu of various other changes and modifications, without departing from the spirit thereof, and I desire, therefore, that only such limitationssshall, be placed thereupon as are specically'st'fortl` in the appended claims. :5
