Abstract
770,522. Steam irons. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO. Dec. 17, 1953 [Dec. 17, 1952], No. 35200/53. Class 138 (2). An electric iron comprises a rotatable cam 22 for adjusting a thermostat, a control shaft 25 connected at its lower end to the cam 22 and projecting up through a hollow or tubular front handle post 5, a valve stem 20 for a water control valve 16 projecting up into the post 5, and adjusting means extending through a wall of the post 5 adjacent its upper end for rotating the control shaft 25 and for moving the valve stem 20. In one example (Fig. 1) control levers 30, 44 for the shaft 25 and stem 20 respectively project through an opening 35 in the post 5. The shaft 25 is engaged in a slot in the inner end of the lever 30 which is free to rotate through approximately 180 degrees so that the cam 22 alters the position of a thermostat adjusting arm 24. A cam arm 48 on the lever 44 is adapted to engage and depress the stem 20 against the action of a spring 42 to close the valve 16. The levers 30, 44 co-operate with dial plates 38, 49 carrying appropriate indicia and held in place by a U-shaped spring clip 53. Fig. 4 shows a modification in which the thermostat control shaft 60 is connected to a rotatable knob 61 which is held axially by a pin 66 in the side wall of the handle post 63 engaging in a groove 67 in the knob 61. The valve stem 68 is depressable by a cam arm 70 carried by a lever 69 having an operating finger 71 and an inner ring- shaped end surrounding the knob 61. In a further modification (Fig. 6, not shown) the thermostat is controlled by a rotatable knob as in Fig. 4 but the knob is also capable of axial movement to operate the water valve, a flange on the knob co-operating with ledges in the handle post to hold the knob in the two axial positions. The thermostat shaft incorporates an expansible connection to accommodate this axial movement of the knob. Specifications 628,090 and 637,458, [Group XXXVII], are referred to.
