Abstract

An ironing board cover comprising a material layer substantially having the shape of an ironing board, which has a surface area up to 25% larger than the upper surface area of the ironing board, which material is resistant to the temperature that develops during ironing, wherein the material layer is undetachably provided all around with a sleeve-like holder provided with an opening, through which a stretching element can be drawn, which stretching element terminates at one end of the material layer and which is provided with a tightening element at that location for tightening the stretching element round the ironing board, the material of which material layer is elastic.
The invention further relates to a method for installing an ironing board cover on an ironing board, wherein the ironing board cover is laid on the ironing board, and wherein that said ironing board cover is an ironing board cover as indicated above, and wherein the stretching element is passed through the tightening element and tightened round the ironing board with a correct fit.

Description

  • The invention relates to an ironing board cover comprising a material layer substantially having the shape of an ironing board, which has a surface area up to 25% larger than the upper surface area of the ironing board, which material is resistant to the temperature that develops during ironing. The invention further relates to a method for installing the ironing board cover on an ironing board.
  • Such an ironing board cover is known from Dutch patent No. 102 25 34 , likewise in the name of Widemex Geldrop B.V. The object of said known patent is to provide the cover with one or more materials for reducing the friction between the fabric to be ironed and the heating device. Comparable ironing board covers are known from EP-A-0 378 229 and British patent No. 1,091,110 .
  • It is an object of the present invention to manufacture an ironing board cover which can be installed with a correct fit on ironing boards of varying dimensions as they are currently sold, making it possible to produce and market an ironing board cover in one size only. This is advantageous from a production point of view and also for retailers who sell ironing board covers, because they only need to keep a limited number in stock rather than various sizes of ironing board covers. Furthermore it is easier for consumers to buy an ironing board cover, since they no longer need to keep in mind the dimensions of the ironing board that the cover must fit.
  • This object is accomplished with an ironing board cover as referred to in the introduction, which is characterised in that the material layer is undetachably provided all around with a sleeve-like holder provided with an opening, through which a stretching element can be drawn, which stretching element terminates at one end of the material layer and which is provided with a tightening element at that location for tightening the stretching element round the ironing board, the material of which material layer is elastic.
  • According to the invention, it is furthermore preferable if the stretching element is a string. According to a special embodiment of the invention, the elastic material of the material layer is a jersey material. Furthermore it is preferable if the sleeve-like holder is made of a material other than the material of the material layer, the sleeve-like holder being made of a material which is mechanically stronger than jersey.
  • Another preferred embodiment concerns an ironing board cover which is provided with a tightening element having a bore through which the string is passed and tied thereto.
  • According to the invention, an ironing board cover is thus obtained which comprises a material layer substantially having the shape of an ironing board, which has a surface area which is up to 25% larger than the upper surface area of the ironing board, which material is resistant to the temperature that develops during ironing, which material layer is undetachably provided all around with a sleeve-like holder provided with an opening, through which a stretching element can be drawn, which stretching element terminates at one end of the material layer and which is provided with a tightening element at that location for tightening the stretching element round the ironing board, the material of which material layer is elastic.
  • The invention will now be explained in more detail in the description below, in which reference is made to the appended drawing, which shows an ironing board cover according to the invention.
  • The ironing board cover 1 consists of a material layer 2 having the shape of an ironing board. The cover must be larger than the ironing board itself so as to make it possible to fit the cover over the ironing board. The cover need not be larger than the ironing board by more than 25%, because this would only require the use of more material, which would make the cover more expensive. The ironing board cover 1 comprises a sleeve-like holder 3, through which a string 4 is passed, which string 4 ends in an end 5 of the ironing board cover and which can be tightened via the tightening element 6, so that the ironing board cover can be installed on the ironing board with a correct fit. To achieve this, the material of the material layer 2 is preferably elastic. It has been found that a jersey material meets this requirement and, in addition, is resistant to the temperature that develops during ironing.
  • The invention also relates to a method for installing the cover on the ironing board with a correct fit, wherein the ironing board cover is laid on the ironing board, said ironing board cover being a cover as described in the foregoing, and wherein the stretching element 4 is passed through the tightening element 6 and tightened round the ironing board with a correct fit.
