Ironing board

130041 / 078β

Description:

The invention relates to an ironing board according to the preamble of claim 1.

With ironing tables of this type, a worktop is on a hinged one and when not in use the plate underside of the foldable frame added. Such tables are already in the range of a Front side of the countertop known about the latter protruding iron rests, which are either permanently arranged or can be attached if necessary.

The iron rests that are firmly attached to the worktop and protrude over the front of the worktop are bulky and cumbersome when placing the ironing table folded into its non-use position, the If necessary, iron rests that can be placed in the area of an end face of the worktop require when not in use a separate storage from the ironing board, which is also cumbersome and cumbersome.

130041/0786

In contrast, an ironing board has been created by the invention specified in claim 1, which is characterized by an iron rest that can be displaced between a position of use protruding beyond the worktop and a non-use position under the worktop. The iron rest is guided in slide rails under the worktop and positively coupled with parts of the frame that can be folded against the underside of the worktop in such a way that when the frame is folded onto the underside of the worktop, the iron rest is in its non-use position under the worktop ; the ironing board is moved into a position of use projecting beyond the corresponding front edge of the worktop.

Expedient refinements of the invention are specified in claims 2 and 3.

According to the design feature according to claim 2, the ironing table is characterized in that the coupling the iron rest with the frame can be moved lengthways via an elongated hole guide in at least one under the worktop Guide tab is realized. In the ironing table according to claim 3, the frame consists of two

Elements that are connected by hinges in the middle, one of these elements with one end firmly hinged to the worktop and the other element slidably guided in sliding rails and with a Guide tab is connected to which the iron rest is connected.

The invention therefore creates an ironing table that is extremely simple in structure and easy to handle, in which, depending on the folding of the frame on the underside of the worktop, the iron rest into a Not in use position is moved under the countertop, however, when setting up the ironing board as a result the spreading of the frame into a position of use protruding beyond an end edge of the worktop arrives »

An embodiment of the invention will be explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In schematic views show:

1 shows a side view of the ironing board, FIG. 2 shows the ironing board with the worktop omitted

in a perspective view and FIG. 3 shows the individual parts of the shown in FIG Ironing board in an exploded view.

1-

The invention relates to an ironing table with an iron rest, which, as soon as the ironing board is brought into working position, automatically leaves the space required the worktop is moved into its position of use and automatically back into the space required area pushes it in under the worktop as soon as the ironing board is pushed against the underside of the worktop by folding the frame is brought into its non-use position o

This ironing table has a worktop 1, which is received on a frame consisting of two elements 2, 3. These elements are connected to one another in the middle at 4 by joints. Under the worktop two parallel sliding rails 5, 6 are attached, which consist of two mutually directed, U-shaped profiles, the legs of which are facing each other-the end 2. of the frame element 2 is hinged to these slide rails, while the end 3 λ of the frame element 3 _{is arranged displaceably by means of rollers 7 S} which are guided between the mutually facing legs of the two slide rails 5, 6 »

The iron rest 8 consists of curved rods and ends in two straight rod sections 8, Q through

two cross struts 8_, 8 ^ are connected to one another. These Quei-uoreben 8. ,, 8 ^ are _{mounted in the slide rails 5 a} β so that the iron rest can be pulled out over the outer end of the worktop 1 or pushed under this worktop. For this purpose, the two ends of the cross strut 8 ^ are each connected to a guide bracket 9, 10, which in turn slide in the rails 5, 6 and are provided with slots SL, ICL. The outer ends of a rod 11, which is connected in its center to a toothed rack 12, engage in these elongated holes. The end of the rack remote from the rod 11 is provided with a transverse rod 13 to which the two mutually parallel tubes are articulated, which form the element 3 of the frame. In the teeth of the rack 12 engages a locking rod 14, which is designed as a U-shaped bow and, which is not shown, is rotatably mounted under the worktop 1 with the help of an operating lever and a counter-tension spring and is held in engagement position with the rack. The length of the elongated holes in the guide tabs 9, 10 is dimensioned such that, added to the displacement length of the iron rest, it corresponds to the maximum displacement of the rollers 7 in the slide rails 5, 6.

3OA 3721

In order to bring the ironing table into the rest position, it is sufficient to actuate the locking bracket Ik in such a way that it disengages from the rack 12. As a result, the rollers 7 can be displaced in the longitudinal guides provided by the rails 5, 6 until the frame elements 2, 3 lie plane-parallel under the worktop 1. Before this movement is completed, the crossbar 11 strikes the ends of the elongated holes SL ₃ 10- and thereby pulls the iron rest 8 under the worktop, the guide tabs 9, 10 sliding in the rails 5, 6.

If, however, the ironing table is brought into its working position according to FIG. 1, the joint of the frame elements 2, the rollers 7 slide in the opposite direction in the rails 5, whereby the rack 12 is pushed back. Since the cross rod 11 comes to rest at the opposite ends of the elongated holes SL, 10, this Movement of the guide tabs 9> 10 also taken along and the iron rest is moved beyond the end of the worktop 1 into its position of use.
