Application filed August 3, 1914. Serial No. 854,658.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Josnrn SOROKIN, a citizen of the United States, residing in Des Moines, county of Polk, and State of Iowa,

have invented anew and useful Improve ment in Ironing-Board-Cloth Holders, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide means for easily and quickly adjusting, and. holding in place, the clean cloths which areplaced on ironing boards.

My invention relates particularly to the I art of ironing clothes, usually employed in constructed from a stri laundries and the like, but it may be applied with equal success to all private work;

My invention consists of certain details of construction hereinafter. set forth, pointed out in my claims, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which-- Figure 1 shows an inverted plan view of an ironing boardfitted out with my device;

- Fig. 2' shows an inverted plan view of my device, and Fig. 3 shows a detail view of one of the clasp members which I employ.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, the reference numeral 10 is used to indicate an ironingboard and the numeral 11 a cloth which is designed to be stretched over the top of the ironing board and secured thereto, said cloth being' for the usual purpose of cleanliness.

ber 12 provided with a plurality of outwardly extending coil springs 13 and on the outer end of each coil spring is secured a clasp member 14. These springs are ar-v ranged in the manner shown in the drawings and the clasp-members secured thereto are for the purpose of hooking into the cloth to hold it in shape, the various springs being arranged around the body member in such a manner as to be'most-convenient and to be adapted for holding the cloth uniformly to the board. The clasp, members 14 are of metal properly stamped so as to provi e a depending lug 15 and'upwardly projecting pointed hooks 16, the hooks being designed to fasten into the cloth and the lug 15 being designed for convenience in grasping the clasp member and stretching the spring to the point where the hooks are designed to engage the cloth. When the hook members are released from Secured longitudinally to the under surface of theironing board is a memience of operation, substantially as the cloth which is done when the operator is changing cloths the springs and their re- Patented Apr. 11, 1916.

spective clasp members depend from the body portion. 12 and, as the said body portion is secured to the ironing board, it is obvious that my device is never removed therefrom and is always ready for operation. y

The operation of my device is so obvious that detail description thereof will not be given.

The body portion 12 of my 'device may be constructed of wire or of metal stamped inany desired conformation without changing my invention, for my purpose is to construct such a body portion as may be conveniently secured to the ironing board for the purpose of providing a proper anchor for the springs and means-to hold them in position on the ironing board when the clasp members are released from the cloth. It is also obvious that the particular form of claspmember may be changed without altermg my. invention as the construction shown for the clasp member is merely for convenience, the purpose of the clasp member bein SKI-1P1}, to properly engage a cloth and hold it in position.

Having thus described my invention what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patentof the United States is: A cloth holder for ironing boards comprising a body adapted to be secured to the under face-of an ironing board and provided with laterally extending, apertured cars, a spring engaged at one end in each apertured ear of the body, and a clasp member carried by the opposite end of each spring for engaging the ironing board cloth.
