x Dmsrorr B. To all whom it may concern.

Be it known that Llumex OTnam, of the city, county, and State-of New York, have invented a new and Improved Ironing-Machin'e and I do hereby declare that the followis a full, clear, and exact description art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawiiigaforming part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 represents a side elevation of this invention, and Fig. 2 a sectional end view of the same. r

' Similar letters of reference indicate like parts.

This invention relates to a machine for ironing clothes or articles of any descriptiomsaid machine being com chiefly of a movable I flat .board, in combination .witha smoothingiron which is heatedby a gas-flame so arran'ged that it can be, depressed on the board, 'and revolved,

if it should bedesirable.

Airepresents a frame made of wood or any othersuitablematerial. Inthenpperpartofthisflame are litted two boxes,

, a which rest on springs b, so that they are yielding, and which bearings for the shaft On this shaft ii mounted apulley,0 and cylindrical smoothing-iron, D, so that by a belt passih over-said pulley a rotary motion is imparted to said smoothing-iron. From the boxes a rise two stau which are pivoted to a forked lever E, at is hung in suitable brackets attached to the frame A, and connected by a rod,d,wit ha treadle, F,so that by pressing on said treadle the boxes 4:, together with the shaft and smoothing-inmate dep on or articles to be e'smoothmg-iron D is mounted on ned.

The board G is straight in the direction of its length and motion, and is provided with a toothed rack, I, which gears in a pinion, mounted on a shaft, 1', so that by means of said shaft a reciprocating motion can be imto the board, and articles fastened thereon can be exposed smoothing-iron.

The operationof' this machine is very siniple, and will be readily understood from the foregoing description.

Instead of the rotating iron D, I may use a stationary smoothin are to the bottom 0 the platform or board by means of springs, screws, or other devices.

Having thus described my invention,1 claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The straight reciprocating ironing-board G,

combined with the revolving smoothing-iron which is adaptedto be heated, the axisof said iron being aced parallel to the up sur face of sai ironing-boa substan y as herein'shown and described.
