OF MANSFIELD, OHIO.
FLAT-IRON CLEANER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 580,645, dated April 13, 1897.
l AppnmanmedApni17,1896. serian). 587,934. (Nomad.)
To all whom, it 77am/ concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES B. JAMESON, of Mansfield, Richland county, Ohio, have in- Vented certain new and useful Improvements in Flat-Iron Cleaners; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and eX- act description of the invention, such as Will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same.
My invention relates to a fiat-iron cleaner for use in connection with sad or smoothing irons for the purpose of removing any dirt or extraneous matter from the smoothing-surface of the iron and coating the said surface with athin film of Wax for the purpose of making it and assisting in keeping it clean, smooth, and easy to use on any kind of material, and also for the purpose of imparting tothe clothes being ironed a glossy surface.
In using the cleaner the heated flat-iron is rubbed over its surface, thus melting the Wax contained therein, and bringing it up against the iron a thin film is deposited on its surface. This, in connection with passing the iron over the top of the cleaner, takes off all starch, dirt, or rust and puts the iron into the best possible condition for use.
In the drawings, Figure l is a View in perspective of a cleaner embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a vieW in side elevation illustrating a modified form and mode of forming the cleaners. Figs. 3 and 4C are respectively plan and sectional views of another modification, Fig. Li being a sectional View taken through the cleaner in a longitudinal vertical direction, Figs. 3 and 4 illustrating the cleaners when provided with perforations, said perforations being located as shown.
A represents a core or foundation of any suitable material-such, for instance, as a block of Wood.
B represents a series of layers of absorbent material which are thoroughly saturated with wax. I prefer to use an absorbent paper, as strawboard, for instance. These layers are secured at each end to the core or foundation in any suitable manner such, for instance, as that sho Wn-by means of tacks or the like, but are not otherwise attachedior connected to each other, and are thus adapted to be easily removed after they become Worn or useless by cutting the layer at b b, as shown in Fig. 2,
when the Worn or useless layer may be easily lifted off, as shown in dotted lines, same gure, and a fresh clean surface be left ready for use.
In order to cheapen the manufacture of the cleaner, I may, if desired, form it as shown in Fig. 2, viz: I provide a core of double the thickness required for one cleaner and Wrap the saturated absorbent material around the core, as shown, fastening it at the two points d d at each end of the core. The saturated layers are then cut through, as is also the core, on line .r thus making tWo cleaners with layers on one side (their upper face) only.
As shown in Figs. 3 and 4, I may provide the saturated layers with holes e, the holes in each alternate layer being located in dierent vertical lines. The object of these holes is, first, to receive any surplus Wax as the hot iron may draw it from the surface of the cleaner, the Wax being caught in the holes as the flat-iron is passed back and forth over them, and, second, the edges of the holes coming in contact with any extraneous material on the iron Will more quickly remove it than Would be doneif the holes Were not provided.
The holes in the layers are placed in different vertical lines in the alternate layers for the reason that the Wax Which may run into the holes of one layer Will fall on the layer beneath and thus be utilized instead of Wasted.
l. A Wax-pad for use in cleaning and Waxing sad-irons embodying thevfollowing features: a core or foundation, to the sides or ends of which are secured layers of Wax-saturated material, said layers being perforated so that the holes in the alternate layers will be located in different vertical lines from the preceding or neXt following layer, substantially as and for the purpose shown and described.
2. A wax-pad for use in cleaning and waxing sad-irons, comprising a core or foundation, and a series of layers of Wax-saturated material, said layers being perforated, and so relatively arranged upon the core that the perforations in one layer will be ont of vertical alinement with those of the next adjacent layer, in combination with fastening devices passing through the ends of the layers and penetrating the core, whereby a portion of IOO the outermost layer when worn, may be detire device may be severed between the two taohed by cutting the layer on a line slightly rows of fastenings to form two independent below the upper surface of the next adjacent pads, substantially as shown and described. layer, substantially as shown and described.
