IMPROVEMENTS IN THE HANDLES OF SAD AND OTHER HEATING IRONS
Year: 1885

page_text: I FRED RYLAND of West Bromwich in the County of Stafford Ironfounder
do hereby declare the nature of the said invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN THE
HANDLES OF SAD AND OTHER HEATING IRONS to be as follows:-
This invention consists in forming the handles of sad or other heating irons in
one piece of sheet iron bent over into a bow or other required shape having been
previously shaped by tools into a tubular corrugated or other required form. To
attach one of these handles to a sad or other heating iron two holes or sinkings
are cast in the body of the iron in one side of each of which holes is cast a piece
of wrought iron with a head projecting above the holes or sinkings, the ends of
the bow handle are then sprung into the holes or sinkings a plug of iron being
driven tightly in between the handle and the wrought iron wedges the heads of
the wrought iron wedges are then turned down over the plugs so as to bear against
the plugs thus firmly fixing the handle in position. Or these handles may be cast
into the irons in the usual way well known to the trade.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
I FRED RYLAND of West Bromwich in the County of Stafford Ironfounder
do hereby declare the nature of the said invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN THE
HANDLES OF SAD AND OTHER HEATING IRONS and in what manner the same is
to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the
letters and figures marked thereon:—
This invention consists in forming the handles of sad or other Heating Irons in
one piece of sheet iron bent over into a bow or other required shape having been
previously shaped by tools into a tubular corrugated or other required form.

page_text: To attach one of these irons to a Sad or other Heating Iron two holes or
sinkings are cast in the body of the iron, in one side of each of which holes is
cast a piece of wrought iron with a portion projecting above the holes or sinkings
the ends of the bow handle are then sprung into the holes or sinkings a plug of
iron being driven tightly in between the handle and the wrought iron wedges, the
beads of the wrought iron wedges are then turned down over the plugs so as to
bear against the plugs, thus firmly fixing the handle in position.
Or these handles may be cast into the irons in the usual way well known to
the trade.
Referring to the drawings Fig 1 is a view of one of my improved handles
formed out of one piece of sheet iron bent over into the required shape for the
handle, having previously been shaped by tools into the corrugated form shewn in
Figs 1 cutting through the handle and in plan in Fig 4. Fig 2 is a plan of a
Sad Iron and Fig 3 is a sectional elevation of the same (a, a,) are the two holes
or sinkings cast in the body of the iron with the pieces of wrought iron (b) cast
therein with a portion (c) projecting above the holes or sinkings the handle is then
inserted in the hole as shewn at (d) Fig 2 (the hole having been cast of the same'
outline as the inner side of the handle) the plug (e) shewn in end elevation in
Fig 5 is then driven tightly in between the handle (d) and the wrought iron
wedges (b) the heads (c) of the wrought iron wedges (b) are then turned down over
the plugs (e) so as to bear against them and thus firmly fix the handle in position.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and the manner in which the same is to be performed I declare that
what I claim is
Firstly, the forming of the handles of Sad or other Heating Irons of one piece
of metal shaped in the tubular or corrugated form as herein described and shewn
in the annexed drawings.
Secondly, the attaching of handles to Sad or other Heating Irons substantially
in the manner herein set forth and specified.
