SADIRON SUPPORT.

Application filed December Fig. 2 is a fragmentary bottom plan view of the ironing board;

Fig. 3 is a fragmentary plan view of the ironing board, at its wide end, and the sad iron support on an enlarged scale;

Fig. 4 is a view in longitudinalcentral section taken on the line 4-4 of Fig. 3; and

Fig. 5 is a view ,in transverse section taken on the line 5-5 of Fig. 4.

The improved ironing board is indicated by the numeral 6 and has rigidly secured to its underside, at the wide end thereof, a 25 transverse end bar 7 and two side bars 8.

Said bars 7 and 8 are set edgewise in triangular arrangement, and the side bars 8 have their lower edge portions shaped to aiord pairs of longitudinally spaced legs 9, adapt- 80 ed to rest on the top of a kitchen table 10. On the bottoms of the legs 9 are rubber pads l1 which revent said legs from slipping or scratching the top ofthe table 10. The length of the legs 9 issuch as to super; port the ironing board 6 Ain a convenient ironing position when on a table top.

The arrangement of the side bars 8 is such that the greater part of the ironing board 6 is free and spaced above the topof the table 10 so that a skirt or dress maybe conveniently ironed thereon.

To prevent the ironing board 6 from tipping under the pressure applied during ironing action, said ironing board at its Wide end is secured to the top of the kitchen table 10 by an L-shaped clamping plate 12 the horizontal portion of which underlaps and engages said table top. Said clamping plate 12 is adjustablyand longitudinally secured to the end bar 7 by a thumb nutequipped bolt 13 mounted in a bore in said bar and extending through a vertical slot 14 in the vertical member of the clamping plate 12. Obviously, the slot 14: permits the clamping plate 12 to be adjusted for table tops of different thicknesses.

1'7',l 1926. Serial No. 155,416..

",lhe ironing board6 at its wide end, has

' i `torined therewith an extension which ilorins a ybase member for av sad iron support, as will presently appear.' Phe width of the extension 15 is materially lesstlian that oi" the ironing board 6, and the upper tace thereof is spaced below the upper tace oi the ironing board 6. A U-shaped upstanding metal frame 16 overlaps the sides and outer end of .the extension 15 and is secured thereto by nails 17 or other astening devices. the top of the ironing board 6 to afford an iron stop, and the side portions thereof have their upper edges beveled to meet the top ot the ironingI board 6.

An insulating sheet 18 of asbestos or other heat resisting material rests on the extension 15 and an open mesh corrugated metallic sheet 19 rests on said sheet 18, and which sheets 18 and 19 are of such size as to? snugly The traine 16 extends' abovetit within the trame 16 and adjacent end of the ironing board 6 and be held in position thereby. Supported on the metallic' vsheet 19 is an insulating sad iron supporting pad 20, the top of which is flush with the top of the ironing board 6. The insulating sad iron supporting pad 20 is preferably but not`necessarily ot' the same ma'- terial. as the pad 18 but considerably thicker and is spaced from the respective end of the ironing board 6 and the frame 16 to afford an air gap 21 therebetween. Said supporting pad 20 is secured in position by nails driven into the extension 15. The corrugations in the sheet 19 extend both longitudinally and transversely thereof so that air is freeto circulate both above and below the same through the air gap 21. and thereby always keep the insulating pad 2O cool. As previously stated, the top of the sad .iron supporting pad 2O is flush with the top of the ironing board 6 so that the iron may be moved onto and oit from said pad by a sliding actiouwithout having to lit't the same, thereby materially reducing the work of the operator. p

On the bottom of the extension 15 is a spring clip 22 tor holding the separable socket ot an electrical cord tor a sad iron.

By supporting an electric iron with its ironing surface Vdirectly on the insulating pad 20, said iron will retain the heat stored therein and hence will always be ready for lll) use and there is no time lost in waiting for the iron to heat, after being used; furthermore, the electrical current to the iron may be cut olf quite a while before the ironing is completed for the reason that when the iron is not in use and resting on the insulating holder 20, the heat stored therein will not be carried olf.

By mounting the sad iron supporting pad Q0 on metal and spacing the saine from an ironing board for the circulation of air thereunder and therearound, makes the sad iron support fire proof and this eliminates al1 danger of starting a lire by the overheating or' an electric iron.

What I claim is:

CHARLES DNIELSON.
