page_text: I, ARTHUR WOODS, of 26 and 27, Cross Street, Ryde, in the Isle of Wight,
Ironmonger, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows
-
The invention has for its object a support for a sad on to hold the latter
with its face upwards in a horizontal position or in a vertical or more or less
inclined position to enable velvet and other fabrics to be ironed or dressed by
diawing the same over the upturned surface of the uon.
For this purpose I construct a stand with a suitable base and standards canying
a support for the iron preferably consisting of a plate formed with a longitudinal
alot extending the greater part of the length thereof and open at one end and
closed at the other, or such support may be provided with legs of convenient
form A support of this kind is capable of use with the common sad 100s,
the handle of which would pass through the slot in the supporting plate and be
located between the latter and the base of the support By the use of the said
support the heated iron is securely held with its face upwards in a horizontal
veitical or inclined position and thus obviates the necessity for a second attend-
ant to hold the same and the consequent injury which frequently happens there-

I, ARTHUR Woons, of 26 and 27, Cross Street, Ryde, in the Isle of Wight,
Ironmonger, do hereby declare the nature of this invention, and in what manner
the same 18 to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement:-
The invention has for its object a support for a sad iron to hold the latter
with its face upwards in a horizontal position or in a vertical or more or less
inclined position, to enable velvet and other fabrics to be oned or dressed by
drawing the same over the upturned surface of the non

and
Fig 6 shows the support with a sad on carned thereby in an inclined posi-
tion.
a 18 the base plate having standards bb igidly attached thereto and preferably
provided with projections or feet b₁₁ to strengthen them and support the
standards more securely 2 are brackets carried by the standards bb, to
which is attached the supporting plate c for the iron preferably formed with a
longitudinal slot el extending the greater part of its length and open at one
end as shown in the diawings. Two small projections may be formed at one
end of the plate c to retain the iron in an inclined position
A support of this kind is capable of use with a common sad iron d, as shown
in Figs. 5 and 6, the handle d' of said non d being passed through the slot c¹
in the supporting plate c and located between the latter and the base of the
support a
By the use of the said support the heated iron d 18 securely held with its face
upwards in a horizontal position as shown in Fig 5, or in an inclined position
as shown in Fig. 6, and thus obviates the necessity for a second attendant to
hold the same and the consequent injury which fiequently happens therefrom
In some cases the supporting plate c may be provided with legs of convenient
form in lieu of the supports and base herein before described.
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 18
-
1 A support for sad irons consisting of a plate having a longitudinal slot
therein open at one end and carried by means of legs or supports, substantially
as herein set forth
2. A support for sad irons consisting of a base plate, supports attached thereto
carrying brackets upon which is supported a plate having a longitudinal slot
therein open at one end, substantially as herein shown and described.
