PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement in or relating to the Boards of Shirt and Collar
Ironing Machines and Appliances connected therewith.
I, WILLIAM JOHN DAVIS, of 55, De Beauvoir Road, Kingsland, London,
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
-
This invention relates to an improvement in the boards of shirt and collar
ironing machines and appliances connected therewith.
For the purpose of this invention, I make the board from two inclined faced
pieces, and so arrange them that by screws on one and by sockets or threaded
ferrules or lugs on the other cause one piece to slide for ready adjustment as to
height to suit the heated rollers which revolve and iron the material upon the
top of the travelling board, the pressure against the rollers being regulated as
desired from a hand and bevel gear from one side of the board.
The means for adjustment of the boards of shirt and collar ironing machines
as before set forth and of making the board proper in two parts with inclined
faces to be in touch, and for regulating the pressure or for removing the pres-
sure is of great importance.

An Improvement in or relating to the Boards of Shirt and Collar
Ironing Machines and Appliances connected therewith.
I, WILLIAM JOHN DAVIS, of 55. De Beauvoir Road, Kingsland, London,
Engineer, 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:-
-
:
This invention relates to an improvement in the boards of shirt and collar
ironing machines and appliances connected therewith.
My invention will be understood from the following description aided by the
accompanying drawings in which Figure is a side elevation partly in section
of my ironing board showing the position of the lug and screw when the actua-
tion is from the end. Figure 2 is an end elevation with the hand operating
wheel removed. Figure 3 is a side elevation with the top half board raised and
showing the operating mechanism in dotted lines, the operation in this view
.

page_text: taking place from the side. Figure 4 is a top view of Figure 3 with the
operating mechanism in dotted lines. Figure 5 is a side elevation of one form
of ironing machine showing my improved board in position for reciprocating
under a heated roller.
According to this invention, I make the board from two inclined face pieces
A, B, and so arrange them that by screws C on one and by sockets or threaded
ferrules or lugs D on the other cause one piece to slide for ready adjustment as
to height to suit the heated roller E (or rollers) which revolves and irons the
material upon the top of the travelling board A, B, the pressure against the
rollers D, E, being regulated as desired from a hand wheel situate at one end
of the board, or through the intermediation of bevel gear G from one side of
the board.
Figure 5 shows the invention applied to an ironing machine, the table A, B,
having a reciprocating motion in its bed H by means of pivotted links I, J,
actuated by a crank arm K from the driven axle L (the heated roller E being
revolved by the gear wheels M, N, shown in dotted lines) but I wish it to be
understood that this ironing machine forms no part of my invention, which
consists in the means for adjustment of the boards of shirt and collar ironing
machines as before set forth and of making the board proper in two parts with
inclined faces to be in touch, and for regulating the pressure or for removing
the pressure.
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;
Constructing the boards of ironing machines in two parts and with angled
meeting faces so that by the operation of a handle one part can be moved along
the other for bringing it in close connection with a heated ironing roller, as
set forth.
