A Removable Handle for Pressing-irons,
I, EMIL REIS, Merchant, of the town of Pforzheim, 5, Metzgerstrasse, Baden,
Germany, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
Rame is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement:-
The subject of my invention is a removable fastened handle for pressing-iron,
which is subjected to no wear and tear, working promptly, safely and surely
by the plainest construction and manipulation, and may be connected with a
number of irons to one's liking.
The inclesed drawing shows a form of my invention. Therein are:
Fig. 1, a side-view with a partial section through the handle,
Fig. 2, a horizontal section-view, respectively section at A B of Fig. 1 of the
arrangement forming my invention,
Fig. 3&4 show the pressing-iron by itself in side-view and horizontal section,
Fig. 5, a horizontal section of iron band of the hilt at CD of the Fig. 1 and the
Fig. 6 & 7 the particulars of a click held down by a flat spring.
The under iron band of the hilt (A) Fig. 1 & 5-connected with the handle (C)
by a fore and behind stay (B) and (131), the combined parts of which form in the
main the removable handle has in its longitudinal direction a letting through
slit-aperture (A1) Fig. 5 for an equal formed prominence (D1) of the iron (D)
and the behind part two flanges (A2) and (A3), that have the destination of being
put into 2 corresponding grooves of the back part of the pressing-iron. The two
flanges (A2 & A3) are as far from each other as the breadth of the pressing-iron
allows, in order to give a hold as safe as possible to the iron band of the hilt.
The flanges (D1) of the iron (D) has still a beak (D4) in front, the under
surface of which is hold in such a distance from the surface of the iron that the
band of the hilt can just be pushed under it. To the band of the hilt (A)
now put on the surface of the iron (D)-by managing the handle in the manner
as the pointed lines of Fig. 1 show, whereby the flange (D1) of the iron (D)
passes through the slit-opening of the band of hilt A, and the band is drawn
back a little, the flanges (A2) (AB) are put into the grooves (D2) (D3), while in
the meantime the beak (1)4) is placed on the fore closed part of the band of the
hilt. By this relation of the two main-parts, got in such manner, the handle
and the iron are already connected together, up to one movement, and all the
parts connected in relation are metallically closed. Now it is only necessary to
avoid, that the band of hilt does not turn out in front, for which purpose the back
plain (5) of the flange (D 1) on the iron (D) can be brought in connection
with an elastic click which can be pressed downwards by a grasp of finger. This
click (E) is put into a slitlike bearing (A4) on the handle-frame
(easily to be taken out) by two props. (e) & (el) which lie backwards
un the sides. furnished with small heads, and spreads its front
surface () to the behind surface (D5) of the adjoined piece of the pressing-
iron, when the click is given free and duly drawn back. The click (E) is
רנס..מ

page_text: constantly pressed downwards by the flat spring (F), the one end of which is
fastened by the handle-screw on the handle-support (B1) and the handle (C)
in such a manner, that by a duly putting the band of the hilt into the
grooves (D2 D3) of the flanges the spreading of the two main parts is effected
in the same moment as the back plains of the flanges (A2 & A3) touch to the
behind plain of the grooves (D2 D3).
When the iron shall be made free it is therefore only necessary to raise a
little the click (L) pressed down by the spring, on its head (3) and to move the
handle as far in front till the behind flanges (A2 A 3) are drawn out from their
grooves and the beak (1) 4) can pass through the slit hole (A1) of the band of
the hilt; otherwise only the movements of setting-up and drawing-back of the
band of hilt are necessary by hand with regard to the fastening of the handle,
while the spreading of both the main parts results automatically.
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:
An removable fastening of handle for pressing-iron, thereby characterized,
that the pressing-iron (D) is furnished on its back-part with a groove (D2 D3)
traversing the whole breadth of the pressing-iron or being shared, and on its
upper front-part with an adjoining piece (DI), formed in front to a beak (D4).
With these parts the iron band (A) of a handle can be combined to a metallically
closed connection by its being furnished in its longitudinal direction with a slit-
hole (A1), the side-plains of which, closing, let pass the prominence (D) 1) of the
iron, while by putting the crotched back parts of the band (A2 A3) into the
grooves (D2 D3), the beak (1)4) is placed on the fore closed part (a) of the band
of the hilt, and a spreading of the iron and the band results thereby that a
spreading-click (E) is placed into the frame of the handle, which leans against a
respectively high vertical plain (D5) of the prominence of the pressing-iron and
is pressed by a spring (F) on the band of the hilt.
