PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Holder for Use in the Heating of Sad-irons and
the like.
I, JOHN GREENWOOD, of New Road Side, Cowling, near Keighley, in the County
of York, Blacksmith, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows, that is to say:-
It relates to an improved holder for use in the heating of sad-
irons and the like, and consists in so forming or constructing same that the func-
tions of heating said sad-irons and the like may be performed in a much quicker
and more desirable manner than they are by means of those as heretofore con-
structed, while it prevents the irons from being dirtied by the accumulation of
soot and the like thereon.
To attain the object of my said invention I form my improved holder of a metal
base-piece to which upright side-pieces or flanges are attached, thus forming
a kind of box which is capable of holding one two or more sad-irons or the like.
and which can be conveniently placed over the open fire, thus enabling the heating
of said articles to be quickly effected. If desired a lid may be employed to
partially or wholly cover my improved holder or box.
It will be seen that by the use of the side-pieces above described, the smoke
from the fire is prevented from having any deleterious effects on the articles being
heated, as by depositing thereon a layer of soot and the like and so dirtying them.
A strip or rib of metal is preferably formed underneath the box or holder to
engage or come into contact with the uppermost of the grate bars to hold said
box in position. This strip of metal may be formed integrally with the box or
holder or it may be formed so as to be adjustable thereon by means of a pin or
bolt mounted on said strip to take within a slot formed in said holder or by other
suitable means.

An Improved Holder for Use in the Heating of Sad-irons and
the like.
I, JOHN GREENWOOD, of New Road Side, Cowling, near Keighley, in the County
of York, Blacksmith, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement, that is to say:-

The
To attain the object of my said invention I form my improved holder of a
metal base-piece à to which upright. side-pieces or flanges b are attached, thus
forming a kind of box which is capable of holding one, two or more sad-irons, e
or the like according to its size, (the one illustrated by the several drawings being
constructed to hold one of such irons) while it (said holder) can be conveniently
placed over the open fire e as shown by Fig. 1, thus enabling the theating of said
articles to be quickly effected. I also if desired employ a detachable lid or cover d
to fit over said holder, this being preferably formed to have flanges d¹ for fitting
within the side-pieces b of said holder as shown in the drawings, or I may hinge
said cover d to the holder or receptacle, while further I form a slot din said
cover for the handle part e¹ of the sad-iron to take within.
A strip or rib of metal f is formed or mounted beneath the holder or receptacle,
to engage or come into contact with the uppermost of the grate bars g as shown by
dotted lines Fig 2; and is formed to be adjustable laterally on the base-piece a
in order to enable the holder to fit several different sizes of fire-places or grates,
by the slot for this slot may be formed in the base-piece and the bolt or pin
fixed to the piece f, or other suitable means may be employed in order to obtain
this lateral adjustment.
A detachable handle k may also be employed for placing the holder into or
removing it from its position over the fire.
It will be seen that by the employment of the means above described the smoke
from the fire is prevented from having any deleterious effects on the articles being
heated as by depositing thereon a layer or soot and the like and so dirtying them.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
-
The improved holder for use in the heating of sad-irons and the like, the same
being constructed and arranged as herein described, and as illustrated by the
accompanying sheets of drawings.
