iiEIiGlEiiQdTlOhl' forming of Letters Patent No. 675,605, dated June 901- Application filed March 19, 1900- Serial No. 9,290- (No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HENRY L. MEYER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Festus, county of Jefferson, State of Missouri, have 5 invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Sad-Irons, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, refro erenee being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a top plan view of my improved sad-iron. Fig. 2 is a side elevation, partly in section, of the same. Fig. 3 is a vertical crosssectional view through my improved sad-iron.
This invention relates to a new and useful improvement in sad-irons, being directed particularly to the improved means for attaching a removable handle to the body portion of the iron.
The object of the invention is to simplify the construction of handles and enable the handle to be inserted or removed from either end of the iron readily.
With this object in view the invention consists in the construction, arrangement, and combination of the several parts, all as will 0 hereinafter be described, and afterward pointed out in the claim.
In the drawings, A indicates the body portion of the iron, which, as shown in Fig. 1, may be, though is not necessarily, pointed at both ends. The top of this body portion or base is provided with a groove, said groove being formed by milling the upper face or casting the groove therein or by the attachment of plates a. These plates are employed where it is desired to have myimproved handle cotiperate with the body portions of irons at present on the market. By preference the groove is of that type known as dovetailed, or said groove can be in the shape of a T, if desired.
B indicates the base of the handle, whose lower portion forms a key designed to lit into the groove in the top of the body portion of the iron. This handle-base is provided with lugs at its ends, to which is secured the handle 0, preferably made of non-heat-conducb ing material.
D indicates a latch provided with a locking-lug cl on its under face projecting through an opening in the handle-base and below the latter and designed to fit into the socket-opening a in the bottom of the groove in the top of the iron. This latch is preferably pivoted at D, as shown in Fig. 2, and has a wooden knob d provided on its free end for affording a hand-grasp whereby the latch may be operated. This wooden knob can be secured upon the latch in any approved manner to prevent its becoming heated to too great an extent. A teat or projection 61 is arranged on the free end of the pivoted latch and designed to cooperate with a notch in the upper face of the handle-base to more firmly hold the locking-lug in place. The lug cl, owing to imperfection in manufacture, has more or less play in the socket a and in the opening in the handle-base B, and inasmuch as inthe use of the iron considerable strain is brought to bear on the latch it is desirable to prevent the movement of the end of the latch, thereby largely relieving the pivot from strain. The projection or lug (1 serves this purpose. Not only does the lug d serve to center the latch with respect to the socket in the body portion of the iron, but said lug prevents the latch, when the handle is disconnected from the iron, from falling through. The lug d is received in a recess in the upper face of the handlebase, so as to be flush with said upper face and enable the operator to readily grasp the knob on the latch for the purpose of manipulating the latch. The above construction is extremely strong, and the parts being very simple are not liable to get out of order or become disarranged. In addition to this said parts cap be cast of suitable metal, which enables the device to be manufactured cheaply.
The material of the handle-base extends over the pivoted end of the latch, so as to limit its upward movement and in so doing prevent the locking-lug from disengaging with the handle-base. Thus the locking-1n g is constantly guided in its movement, and when the handle is being inserted in position it requires no care or attention on the part of the operator, the lug falling by gravity into the socket when in registration therewith. The ends of the body portion of the iron extend beyond the ends of the groove and are inclined or sloped, as at a, so that in intro-' ducing the base of the handle into the groove the locking-lug will ride up the inclination and over the upper face of the body of the iron until in registration with its socket,when said locking-lug will fall into position by gravity and said handle will be locked to the body portion of the iron. introduced into the groove from either end.
When it is desired to remove the handle, thelatch-knob is caught between the fingers of J the nature and principle of my invention.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
In a sad-iron, the combination with a base having a handle engaging groove, and a latch-socket, the base at the ends of the The handle can be groove being beveled or rounded as at ct", of a handle susceptible of being introduced into the groove through either end, said handle comprising a handle-base whose lower por tion forms a key for cooperating with the groove, the handle proper being secured to the ends of the handle-base, said handle-base having a slot in which operates a latch, a recess in its upper face opening into said slot for receiving a projection on the latch, and a latch arranged in said slot and pivotally mounted at or near one end of the handlebase, said latch being provided with a knob on its free end, and cooperating with the latch-socket and being provided with a lug d" which is received in the recess in the upper face of the handle-base, said lug being flush with the face of the handle-base when the latch is in operative position, for enabling the operator to readily grasp the knob on the latch, said lu'gsupporting the latch in proper position in its slot when the handle is disconnected from the body portion, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my signature, in the presence of two witnesses, this 12th day of March, 1900.
HENRY L. MEYER.
