Sad-iron stand.

Application filed February 15,1905, Serial No, 245,756,

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Emma Nigkum, a citizen of the United Slates, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and 5 State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sad-Iron Stands, of which tlie following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

to My invention relates to sad-iron stands, and particularly to that class of stands that are intended to be attached to ironing boards, bencnes, or tables, one of the objects being to provide a device of the character described 15 that can.be easily attached to, or detached from, an ironing board, or the like.

. A further object of my invention is to provide a sad-iron support having a shield surrounding the iron to prevent the hand of tlie 20 operator from coming in contact with the body, of the iron, and also t o prevent the clothing or material being ironed from coming in contact with, and being burned by, the heated portion of said iron.

²5 A still further object of my invention is to provide an adjustable sad-iron holder cast in one piece, and one that shall be simple and inexpensive in construction, and durable and effective in operation.

The structural features of my invention, by means of which these objects are attained, will be made clear by an examination of the specification taken in connection with the accompanying drawing in which the same 35 reference numerals indicate corresponding parts throughout, and in wliich,

Figure 1 is a perspective view of my complete. invention. Fig. 2 is an end view showing same connected with an ironing 4° board or table, and Fig. 3 is a top plan view.

designates a vertical plate, 2 and 3 parallel plates formed integral therewith, the j lower plate· 2 being provided with a set screw 4, and the top plate 3 forming a plat 45 form or stand to support the sad-iron.

Formed, integral with said top plate is a vertical shield 5.extending entirely around the outer edge of said plate and only partially⁷around the inner edge leaving a space 6 in 5° order that the sad-iron may be more easily and readily carried into, and taken out of, the apartment formed by said shield and top plate for its reception. The shield 5 is rounded at the inclosed end, as shown at 7, in order that the apartment formed by said 55 plate and the shield 5 may approximately conform to the shape of the ordinary sadiron. With the exception of the adjustable set screw, the entire device may be cast in one piece from cast-iron or other suitable 60 material.

designates a plurality of depending legs which may be formed integral with the device and which are adapted to support the top plate 3 and keep same from resting di- 65 rectly on the table and thus avoiding the danger of transmitting the heat from the iron to the table, and thus burning or scorchinothe same. . My device also acts as a clamp for the ironing cloth or sheet, the edge or cor- 70 ncr of which may be placed beneath the top plate 3.

In operation my device is secured to a table, as best shown in Fig. 2, by placing the depending legs S supporting- the platform or 75 top plate . 3 upon the table and passing the bottom plate 2 under the table so that tlie set screw therein, will come in contact witli the bottom of the table top. By turning· the set screw according to the space left between the 80 table and the bottom plate, as shown in Fig. 2, the entire device is securely attached to°a table or ironing board in such maimer that the legs 8 rest upon the top thereof.
