The first pressure cylinder 33 has one end to be pivoted to the second support rod 32 and the other end to be pivoted to the support frame 20.
The slide rod assembly 40 consists of more than one slide rod 41. The slide rod 41 at the bottom of the slide rod assembly 40 is combined in front of the support frame 20- in such a manner that other slide rods 41 can be successively slidably arranged. The slide rod 41 at the top of the slide rod assembly 40 is provided at an upper end thereof with a movable pivoting portion 42 and in the lower end thereof with a fastening hole 43 corresponding to the fastening member 26 of the support firame 20.
The linking rod assembly 50 includes two slantways-resisting rods 51, a linkage rod 52 and a second pressure cylinder 53. The slantways-resisting rods each have one end provided with an upper pivoting portion 511 and the other end provided with a lower pivoting portion 512 to be pivoted to the lower pivoting portion 24 of the support frame 20. The linkage rod 52 has a middle portion to be pivoted to the linkage rod pivoting portion 23 of the support frame 20, an upper end to be pivoted to the linkage member 34 and a lower end provided with a pivoting portion 521 to be pivoted between the two slantways-resisting rods 51.

The linking rod assembly 50 is further provided oli'one a of the two slantways-resisting rods 51 with an engaging ring 513 corresponding to the engaging catch 13.
The movable frame 60 has an upper end provided with a movable pivoting portion 61 to be pivoted to the movable pivoting portion 42 of the slide rod assembly 40 and a middle portion provided with two upper pivoting portions 62 to be pivoted to the upper pivoting portions 511 of the slantways-resisting rods 51. The other end of the above pressure cylinder 53 is also pivoted to the middle portion of the movable fraume 60.
With the above structures, the movable frame 60 can be controlled to fold up against the support finme 20 in such a manner that the movable frame 60 is finally vertical to the ground, or unfold in such a manner that the movable frame 60 is finally in a horizontal state. Referring to Fig. I again, when the folding ironing board is not in use, the movable frame 60 is folded up towards the fixing frame 10 which is fixed on a vertical surface such as a cabinet or a wall. When the folding ironing board is to be used, the support firame 20 is directly unfolded from one side of the fixing fxame 10 through the support pivoting portions 11, 21, as shown in tig.
6, meanwhile; the first support rod 31 and the second support rod 32 which are originally closed with respect to each other are opened. When the opening angle of the first support rod 31 and the second support rod 32 is greater than 90 degrees, the first pressure cylinder 33 will be automatically actuated to push the first support rod 31 and the second support rod 32 outwards continuously, as shown in Fig. 7, and the second support rod 32 will pull the linkage member 34 outwards, as shown in'Figs. -:.
8-9, when the linkage member 34 is pulled, the upper end of the linkage rod 52 will be pulled backwards, and then the linkage rod 52 will be pivoted about the linkage rod pivoting portion 23 to pull the lower end of the linkage forwards. The lower end of the linkage rod 52 will pivot about the linkage rod pivoting portion 23 to pull the slantways-resisting rods 51 in such a manner that the slantways-resisting rods which are closed with respect `to the support frame 20 will pivot about the lower pivoting portions 24, 512 to open with respect to the support frame 20. When the linking rod assembly 50 is opened at a predetennined angle with respect to the support frame 20, the second pressure cylinder will be actuated to pull the movable frame 60 connected with the linking rod assembly 50 to lift the lower eind of the movable frame 60. Since the middle portion of the movable frame 60 is connected with the slantways-resisting rods 51, the upper end of the movable frame 60 will move downwards to make the respective slide rods 41 of the slide rod assembly slide relative to one another to fold the slide rod assembly 40 until the movable fimme 60 touches the abutting plate 28 and finally becomes horizontal, namely the movable frame 60 is finally parallel to the ground, as shown in Figs.10-11.
When the slide rods 41 of the slide rod assembly 40 are folded, the fastening member 26 of the support frame 20 is fastened to the fastening hole 43 of the slide rod 41 at the top of thc slide rod assembly 41, thus firmly restricting the slide rod assembly 40 and preventing the respective slide rods 41 from moving relative to the movable frame 60 unexpectedly.
As shown in Figs. 12-13, when the movable frame 60 is to be folded, the fastening rod 25 will be pulled upwards to control the fastening member.26 disengage from the fastening hole 43 of the slide rod 41 at the top of the slide rod ' i0 assembly 41, so as to release the slide rod assembly 40, and then a pressing-down force greater than the force outputted from the second pressure cylinder 53 will be directly applied to the movable fiame 60, and synchronously the movable ffirdme 60 and the support frame 20 will be pulled backwards to close up to each other.
Additionally, when the fastening rod 25 is released, the fastening member 26 will be pressed downwards by the weight of the fastening rod 25 to return to its locked state.
Moreover, when the fastening rod 25 is pulled upwards, and the fastening member 26 disengages from the fastening hole 43 to present an opening state, the buffer spring 27 will be used to cushion the restoring force.
The abutting plate 28 of the support frame 20 is defined with an inserting groove provided with plural rollers at both sides thereof. The movable frame 60 is provided with a corresponding inserting plate, so that when the movable frame presents the horizontal state and utilizes the upper end thereof to touch the abutting plate 28 of the support frame 20, the inserting plate will be just inserted in the 15. inserting groove, and the rollers will synchronously cushion the movable frame 60, thus keeping quiet.
When the support frame 20 is folded on the fixing frame 10, the engaging catch 13 is used to engage with the engaging ring 513 at a predetermined angle for preventing the support frame 20 from unfolding.
When the support frame 20 is folded toward the fixing frame 10, the buffer column 14 is provided to =cushion the support frame 20 to avoid the metal striking noise.
With the above structure, the present invention can offer the following i~
advantages:
1. The operation between the fixing frame 10, the support frame 20 and the movable frame 60 are realized through the cooperation of the crankshaft assembly 30, the slide rod assembly 40 and the linlcing rod assembly 50, and it is only necessary to pull open the support frame 20 first, and then other elements of the ironing board will be driven to move to unfold the ironing board, on the contrary, applying a pressing-down force to the movable frame 60 can make the overall ironing board fold, thus making the operation smooth.
2. The operation between the fixing frame 10, the support frme 20 and the movable frame 60 are realized through the cooperation of the crankshaft assembly 30, and the crankshaft assembly 30 and the linldng rod assembly 50 are respectively provided with a fnst pressure cyli.nder 33 and a second pressure cylinder 53, which are used to assist the automatic opening operation of the support frame 20, the movable frame 60 and the slide rod assembly 40 for saving labor.
