Definitions

  • the invention relates to a collapsible ironing board which can be erected and refolded particularly easily and rapidly.
  • An example of such a boards is available from the document US-A-2 696 686.
  • the present invention aims to obviate the above drawback, by providing an ironing board which is extremely easy and practical to erect and refold, and which does not require the operator to bend down.
  • a board according to the invention is defined by the features of claim 1.
  • 1 denotes a support frame comprising a first leg 2 and a second leg 2', each provided with two uprights connected by crossbars 11.
  • the legs 2, 2' are connected one to another at upper ends by a pivot and are rotatable about a horizontal axis X.
  • the rotations are at least comprised between a closed position of minimum frame 1 mass, wherein the legs 2, 2' are side-by-side, and an open position wherein the legs 2, 2' are splayed and the frame 1 can rest erect on them.
  • the legs 2, 2' are immobilized in the open position by two support struts 9 pivoted by one end to the uprights of the first leg 2.
  • Each strut 9 is provided with an oblong slot 10, in which one of the crossbars 11 of the second leg 2' is free to slide internally along.
  • a board constituting the ironing surface of the invention, is pivoted to the frame 1 and is rotatable about axis X; further, it is conformed such as to have its centre of gravity positioned at the axis X, so that the rotation of the board is made easier.
  • the board 3 assumes at least two configurations: one in which it is folded (see figure 1) wherein it is associated with the first leg 2, and a work position (see figure 2) wherein it is horizontal.
  • the stability of the board in the work position is guaranteed by a rod 4 hinged to an end of the board 3 and slidable internally of a guide plate 5 mounted idle on a horizontal shaft 7 hinged by its ends to the uprights of the first leg 2.
  • a cam 6 is rigidly and coaxially connected to the shaft 7 and is arranged such that it is in contact with the rod 4.
  • a command lever 8, perpendicular to and solid with the shaft 7, enables a manually-commanded rotation of the shaft 7 and the cam 6 so that the longer-radius zone of said cam 6 presses the rod 4 against the guide plate 5, achieving an immobilization of the rod 4 at a predetermined position, which is to say a work position, in which the board 3 is horizontal.
  • the rod 4 In proximity of a hinging point, the rod 4 exhibits a bend 12 which, interacting with the cam 6, enables the rod 4 to assume a minimum-mass position, with the board 3 parallel to the first leg 2.
  • the rod 4 can be constrained by being hinged by one end to the frame while at another end it is constrained to a runner mobile in guides predisposed on the board.
  • the ironing board is opened as follows:
  • the ironing board is refolded by reversing the order of the above operations.
