Improvements in Combination Ironing Stands.
"WO, EDWARD STACKNIK (Tailor) and VICTOR STACKNIK (Merchant) both
residing at 2353 8th Avenue, 126th and 127th Streets, New York, in the County of
New York and State of New York, United States of America, 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 ironing stands and sad-iron holders, and the object
thereof is to provide an improved combination device of this class which is simple
in construction and which is designed to be placed upon a table, ironing board or
other support; a further object being to provide a sad-iron holder with means for
supporting the sad-iron in an inverted position for ironing velvets and other and
similar materials, and for properly cleaning and waxing the iron.
The invention is fully disclosed in the following specification, of which the
accompanying drawing forms a part, in which the separate parts of our improve-
ment are designated by the same numerals of reference in each of the views, and
in which
Fig. 1, is a plan view of our improved sad-iron holder;
Fig. 2, a section on the line 2, 2;. and,
Fig. 3, a section on the line 3, and showing the means for holding the sad-iron
in an inverted position, in full lines as when not in use, and in dotted lines as
when ready for use.
In the practice of our invention we provide a plate or board 6, which is
preferably composed of wood, over which is placed a metal plate 7, having trans-
verso slots 8, and in practice we place over the cross bars 9, formed by said slots;
a strip 10, of asbestos, felt or similar material, as shown in Fig. 3, and on the
outor end of the plate 7, is a vertical flange or wall 11, and' on one side thereof a
similar wall or flange 12, and on the opposite side with diagonal walls or flanges 13;
which are designed to rest in proper position on the asbestos strip 10.
On the opposite end of the plate or board 6, and at one side thereof is a block 14,
in which is placed a cake or block 15, of wax which is provided with a cover 16,
of cloth or suitable textile material, and adjacent thereto is pivoted a plate or
board 18, which is covered with a strip of any suitable cloth or textile material 19,
and said plate or board 18, is, adapted to be swung outwardly on its pivotal
connection at 21.
All that portion of the main plate or board 5, of the holder adjacent to the
block 15, and the plate or board 18, is provided with a covering 22, of sand paper
or similar material and we also provide a supplemental frame for supporting the
sud-iron in an inverted position which consists of two similar yokes or frames 23,
which are pivotally connected at their opposite sides as shown at 24, one within
the other, and the sides of the outer yoke or frame at the ends thereof are pivoted,
one to a shoulder or projection 25, formed on the outer side of the plate or
beard 6, or secured thereto, and the other to the block 14, as shown at 26.
The yokes or frames 23, are provided with the usual cross head 27, to which
are secured chains 28, and the said support consisting of the yokes or frames 23.

the sad-iron may be supported therein as is also shown in dotted lines in said
figure, and in an inverted position, the handle passing between said cliains as
clearly shown in dotted lines at 29.
The operation will be readily understood from the foregoing description when
taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, and the following statement
thereof. The sad-iron when not in use is placed in the holder or receptacle formed
by the vertical walls or flanges 11, 12, and 13, and rests on the abestos strip 10,.
or if this strip is not employed, it may rest directly on the metal plate 17, and
when necessary the iron may be waxed on the cake or block 15, by rubbing it
thereon, and it may be cleaned by rubbing it on the cloth or textile material 19,
on the pivoted plate or board 18, and the sand paper 22, is intended also for
cleaning the iron as will be readily understood, while the support consisting of
the hinged frame or yokes 23, is intended to support the sad-iron in an inverted
position as herein described for use when ironing velvets or similar articles
Our improvement is well adapted to accomplish the result for which it is
intended, and is also comparatively inexpensive, and it is evident that changes in
and modifications of the construction herein described, may be made without
departing from the spirit of our invention, or sacrificing its advantages.
Having now particularly described' and ascertained the nature of our said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is:
1. A holder for sad-irons comprising a bottom plate or board, a frame at one
end thereof adanted to receive the iron, said bottom plate or board being also
provided adjacent to its opposite end and at one side thereof with a holder for
a cake or block of wax, and also with a pivoted plate or board which is covered
with a strip of cloth or textile material, and that part of the holder adjacent to
the pivoted plate or board and the holder for the wax being provided with a
covering of sand paper or similar material, substantially as shown and described.
2. A holder for sad irons comprising a bottom plate or board, a frame at one
end thereof adapted to receive the iron, said bottom plate or board being. also
provided adjacent to its opposite end and at one side thereof with a holder for.a
cake or block of wax, and also with a pivoted plate or board which is covered with
n strip of cloth or textile material, and that part of the holder adjacent to the
pivoted plate or board and the holder for the wax being provided with a covering
of sand paper or similar material, and said bottom plate or board being also
provided with a supplemental support, consisting of two similar yokes or frames
which are pivotally connected, and the cross heads of which are connected by
cliains, said supplemental support being adapted to hold the sad-iron in an
inverted position, substantially as shown and described.
