ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a boot or covering to be removably secured to the bottom of an iron such as one would use to remove wrinkles from newly washed clothing, to give the iron improved characteristics with respect to its use for ironing heat-sensitive materials. The boot or covering comprises a perforated sheet of material such as the polytetrafloroethylene material available under such tradenames as Teflon, or similar materials having a width sufficient to form a rippled or wave-like folded side border of sufficient size to facilitate securing the boot to the bottom of an iron by wrapping it partially about the iron. Ridges are provided at or near the openings to form steam distribution conduits. Metal edged holes are provided along the edges of the material to allow a coiled spring or other similar device to be secured to the sheet without damaging the sheet while holding it to the iron. The front of the sheet is formed with flaps or corners which can be overlapped and form a pocket to hold the nose of the iron.
