SAD-IRON SUPPORT.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 4,' 1915.

Application led July 2, 1914. Serial No. 848,569.

To all whom 'it may concern.

Be it known lthat LKARL EBNER, a citizen of the German Empire, residing at Kempten, in Germany, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sad-Iron Supports, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to sad-iron supportsy adapted to be fixed to the edge of a table or ironing board, so that the sad-iron can slide from the board to the support, and back again, without being lifted.

v The objectV of the invention is to effect certain improvements in supports of this class, whereby the support can be con'- veniently fixed to practically any table or board, without inconvenience arising from the overhanging cloth on the table or board, and whereby the iron can be slid on `to and off the support without causing the cloth to f ruck at the edge of the table.

`The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a cross-section of the appliance, Fig. 2 aperspective view, and Fig. 3 a planof a blank from which the appliance z illustrated is made.

The appliance illustrated comprises a grid a, having walls b at three sides thereof, brackets c, and horizontal tongues (l projecting from the edge e at which there is no wall. This edge e is placed against the table or board f, upon which the tonguescl` lie. The brackets c are slid into sockets g fixed tothe table, and are made fast by means of pinch nuts-h. The surfacey of the grid is approximately flush with the ironing surface formed by the cloth 'i on the table and the tonguesfl, which lie on this cloth, are \vedge-slmped or tapered to an edge la, close to the cloth, so that the sad-iron can bc slid from the cloth over the tongues to thegrid a, andvice versa, without vobstruction, the tongues preventing rucking of the cloth at'the-edge of the table. The brackets o arefornied of strips bent downward from the grid, and making an angle at n and they leave a space Z between them and the grid for the edge m of the cloth hanging over' the side of the table. y

The whole support is formed out of a single sheet metal blank, shown in Fig. 3. This blank is punched and cut in the manner shown, the broken lines representing the lines along which the blank is subsequently the edge 7 and is then folded at the edge 6, 615

so that the part 9 forms an extension of the part. 8. The part 8 is then bent to form the angle n.

The said iron holder may be fixed to the table or board by means of pegs or the like, instead of by screws.

What I claim vas my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United` States is 1. In an appliance of the character described, the combination of a .supporting member and tongues projecting from said supporting member, adapted to lieon an ironing surface and form tracks from said surface to said supporting member.

2. Inan appliance of the character described, the combination of a supporting member, the tongues projecting from said supporting member, adapted to lie on an ironing surface and form-tracks from said surface to said supporting member, saidy tongues being tapered to terminate flush with said surface.

n testimony whereof .I hereunto aii'lx my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
