SAD-IRON HEATER AND RECEPTACLE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 3, 1909.

Serial No. 465,792.

fo all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, FREDERIC W'. VANT- anL, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Rossmere, in the county of Lancaster and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and Improved Sad-Iron Heater and Rei cegtacle, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

rThis invention relates to sad iron heaters and receptacles, and more particularly such as are adapted to be used with oil or gas stoves, and each of which in general consists of a plate or tray adapted to rest upon the stove, and a cover, the latter having a double metallic wall provided with a layer of asbestos or the like, which serves to separa-te one wall from the other.

The object of the invent-ion is to provide a device of the class described, simple and serviceable in construction and inexpensive to manufacture, which will prevent the flame of the stove from coming in direct contact with the face of the iron so that the latter will not become coated with soot, and which also serves to accelerate the heating of the iron.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specitication, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure l is a side elevation showing an embodiment of my invention; Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of the same, showing a sadiron in dotted outline; Fig. 3 is a plan view of the tray; Fig. l is an end elevation of the same, Fig. 5 is a plan view of the cover; and Fig. (3 is a sectional view of a portion of the tray and cover, showing in dotted outline a hook on which the device can be hung when not in use.

Before proceeding to a more detailed description of my invention, it should be understood that. difficulty has been found in heating sad-irons on the oil and gas stoves thatl are commonly used. The difficulty arises from the fact that the flames come in direct contact with the faces of the irons and cover the latter with soot, which must be wiped oif before the irons can be used. To obviate this inconvenience, I have provided a heater, which comprises a tray adapted to be placed on a stove and on which any desired number of sad-irons may be arranged, and a cover which entirely incloses inner wall 6 havin()l its lower ede'e outwardl i disposed to form a flange '7, and an outer wall 8, the lower edge 9 of the latter resting on the flange 7 of the inner wall. Located between the outer and inner wall, and eX- tending only part way to the lower edges thereof, is a ller l() of asbestos or the like. The. space between the outer and inner wall, which does not receive the asbestos filler, remains as an air chamber. The flange 7 of the inner wall has an upwardly and outwardly disposed tongue l2 provided with an opening 13. 'Vhen the device is not in use, the tongue l2 is slipped through the recess Jr of the extension of the tray, when the wholev device can be hung upon a" hook, shown most clearly in Fig. G of the drawings. I further provide a handle for the cover, which consists of a handle bracket la preferably formed from a single elongated member bent into substantially U-shape, and having its corners lo bent back upon themselvesV so that rivets or bolts 1G' may be passed therethrough to secure the handle to the cover of the device. The bolts 16 further serve to secure the walls of the cover together. A grip 1T is journaled between the upper ends of the bracket.

The asbestos filler between the walls of the cover may be replaced by any other suitable material, provided this material like the asbestos, has heat insulating qualities. Needless to say, the air space between the walls of the cover serves a like purpose.

The device may be made in any convenient sir/.e or shape so that it will accommodate any number of irons.

It sho-nld be further understood that I do not limit myself to the particular construction shown in the drawings, as others equallyT ad fantageous may be employed without departing from the spirit or the scope of the the irons. In this way, the iiames at no time invention.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

l. In a device of the class described, a tray, and a removable cover for the tray, said cover consisting of an inner and an outer wall spaced from each other, the inner wall having at its lower end an outwardly projecting flange extending under and beyond the lower edge of the outer wall and resting upon the tray, and a filler of insulati'ng material between said walls.

2. A device of the class described, comprising a tray, a cover formed of an inner and outer wall spaced from each other to form a closed space, the cover being provided with an outwardly extending flange at its bottom resting loosely upon the tray, and a filler of insulating' material between the said walls, said filler extending over the top and partially over the sides of said cover, and a handle on the cover.

3. In a device of the class described, a tray having a vertical and slotted extension at the rim thereof, and a cover, said cover having a marginal flange adapted to rest on the tray and provided with a tongue adapted to pass through said slotted extei" sion, said tongue being provided with opening therethrough whereby said devi can be hung when not in use.

4. In a device of the class described' tray adapted to receive sad-irons, said ti y having its rim upwardly disposed., said rim being provided with a slotted extension, a removable cover for said tray, said cover consisting of an outer and an inner wall, an asbestos iller between said walls, said inner wall having its lower edge outwardly disposed to constitute a flange, a tongue inte- 0 gral with said flange and adapted to pass through the slotted extension of said tray, said tongue having an opening whereby the device can be hung when not in use, and a handle 0n said cover whereby the latter can/e4 V easily be removed from said tray.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specication in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
