Description

TITLE : "IRONING BOARD WITH STORAGE UNIT"
DESCRIPTION
This patent concerns ironing equipment and in particular it concerns a new folding ironing board on castors, with storage unit for boiler, iron and/or other accessories and objects.
A compact ironing apparatus incorporating the iron, the ironing board and a folding support structure for each of them as well as an external casing with reduced volume to store them is know from US 3862503 A. Frame means are fastened onto said casing to mount said support structures, which - while in operational position - position the ironing board in a horizontal position and with the iron placed above it. Said support structures are easily operated to move into said operational position from a folded or inactive position with the external casing closed for easy transportation or storage in a small space. Each support structure is built in a unique way with several junctions cooperating among each other and that can be engaged with said support structures when the equipment is not used.
The purposes of this invention is building an ironing board with storage unit made in a different way from the one disclosed by the state of the art in US 3862503 A.
The new ironing board includes in its main parts at least one ironing surface that can be extended and/or folded, a storage unit for said ironing surface when in a closed position, at least one column or telescopic element generically extensible to support said ironing surface in a horizontal position. Said column is suitable to move said ironing surface by raising/lowering it, moving from a closed position, where said ironing surface is completely contained inside said unit, to an open position, where said ironing surface is in a position where it can be used at a suitable height. Said storage unit is provided with lockable castors to be moved around and internal compartments to host the steam generator with a water tank, the iron and other useful accessories.
On said ironing surface and/or on said column and/or on said unit there are electrical and /or steam connections for the power supply to the iron and the control panel to operate the iron itself.
In the preferred embodiment, said unit comprises at least one support surface for the boiler of the iron and power and/or steam connections from said boiler to said ironing surface, where preferably the joints and sockets to connect the iron and the control panel are situated.
In an alternative solution, said ironing surface might include, in addition to the control panel and the sockets for the iron, the boiler for the iron, preferably integrated into the ironing surface.
In its preferred embodiment, this storage unit has a box shape, i.e. with four vertical side walls that create one or more storage compartments, one bottom element or wall on which the castors and/or feet are mounted and an upper covering element. This covering element or lid is preferably hinged onto a side wall and fully tiltable from a horizontal closed position to a fully open position where it is parallel and close to a vertical side wall.
In order to open the ironing board it is sufficient to lift said lid, tilt it over and take out the ironing board from the upper opening of the storage unit and raise it to the desired height thanks to said telescopic support column. The ironing surface has now the two end sides collapsed onto the central part of the same surface thanks to the hinges and the end sides are then opened, thus forming a full very large ironing surface.
Another possible solution is that the two extensions of the surface can be extensible elements and not hinged onto the central part but sliding on it. Both raising the ironing surface to the desired height and fully extending the ironing surface to the horizontal position can be automated operations so that the user, after opening the unit lid, can obtain such positioning by simply pressing a pushbutton and/or using a remote control.
The same automation can be applied to close the board into the storage unit and afterwards the hinged lid is closed manually.
In the preferred embodiment, said storage unit has the following base size: 60 x 60 cm or other modular dimensions.
Said storage unit is preferably a self-standing unit, i.e. with an external finish that makes it suitable to remain visible like a normal furniture unit and featuring at least a top surface formed by said lid. This unit can be provided with two doors on the operator's side to have access to the internal compartments.
The advantage of this invention is that when it is closed the overall dimensions of the ironing board equal the size of the storage unit that can be very easily moved thanks to the castors and can be put into any compartment of a modular furniture unit devoted to this purpose, thus being aesthetically and visually integrated into the furniture unit.
A further advantage of this invention is that the storage unit has internal compartments to hold the boiler, the iron and accessories useful for ironing, clothes, etc., which do not need to be kept elsewhere while moving and opening/closing the ironing board, because said storage unit is made in such a way as to guarantee stability and prevent anything them falling out.
This new ironing board is easy and intuitive to use and it is extremely practical.
The table enclosed shows a practical illustration of how the invention could appear, but this is only an example and not ristrictive.
Figure 1 shows the cross section of the ironing board. The unit (1) is formed by a bottom (1/f), a lid (1/b) and by side walls (1/a). The ironing board is fully housed inside said unit (1) because the ironing surface (1/c) with its folded elements (1/r - 1/s) can be totally contained in the storage unit (1).
The storage unit (1) is provided with castors (1/e) and with a hinged lid (1/b) that closes the ironing board unit completely inside and therefore it disappears. Said lid (1/b) is equipped with a hinge that allows opening it as well as its rotation so that it is foldable along the external vertical wall of the furniture unit onto which it is hinged. The telescopic column (1/d) is fastened and rigidly connected to the unit bottom (1/f) and the ironing surface (1/c). Inside said unit (1) there are several compartments (1/g) (1/h) to host the boiler and accessories necessary for ironing.
Figure (1/2) shows a cross section of the new ironing board in its open position ready for use, with the ironing surface (2) completely outside the storage unit and fully open.
The same figure also shows the following components: telescopic column (1/t) in its open position, boiler storage compartment (1/1), other compartments (1/m) to house the iron and other ironing accessories. In particular, it is foreseen that inside said hollow telescopic column (1/t) there is a flexible duct (l/o) that houses the steam pipe and the electric cables that connect the boiler (1/1) and the control panel (figure 1/2-2/f) integrated into the body of the ironing surface (figure 1/2 -2) on the operator's side and the iron socket (figure 1/2 -2/g) on the ironing surface (2).
An alternative embodiment is configured in Figure 3 where the boiler (figure 3-3/a) is inside the compartment of the ironing surface (2) and directly connected to the control panel (figure 3- 3/b) and to the socket for the iron (figure 3 -3/f) through the duct (figure 3-3/c), the power supply will be provided by means of the electric cable (figure 3- 3/d) that runs inside the hollow telescopic column (figure 3- 3/g).
Figure 2 shows the ironing board while completely open, which consists of a central fixed element (2/a) and two side elements ( 2/b) and (2/c) to increase the ironing surface, said side elements (2/b and 2/c) are hinged on and or hooked to the central fixed element (2/a) by means of the elements (2/1-2/m) so that they can be folded 90 0 downwards and or 180° upwards over the fixed surface (2/a). Inside said ironing surface there is a chamber (2/h) communicating with the fixed surface (2/a) and the two side surfaces (2/b - 2/c) by means of the slots (2/d and 2/e) created between the elements (2/a and 2/b) and between the elements (2/a and 2/c) to allow air to circulate among them. Inside this chamber (2/h) one or more fan motors (2/o) are installed for air suction and blowing through the upper part of the pierced or net-like ironing surface (2/o). In contact with said surface of the upper ironing surface (2/o) one or more heating elements (2/n) can be placed to heat the ironing surface.
In a more complete variant of the new ironing board the addition of a steam function for the ironing surface can be provided: figure (2/1) shows the same ironing surface (2) where in addition to the heating element (figure 2/1-2/n) to heat the ironing surface and the fan motor (figure 2/l-2/o) for air suction and blowing, a pipe for steam circulation is provided (figure 2/1- 2/p) with holes for the steam to come out (2/q) through the pierced surface (fig.2-2/o). Said steam circulation pipe (2/q) is connected to the control panel (figure 1/2 -2/g) and therefore through the joint to the steam supply coming from the boiler (figure 1/2-1/1) along the flexible duct (figure 1/2- l/o).
The air suction and blowing by means of the fan motor (2/o) in figure (2) and the connections between the elements (2/a -2/b and 2/c) in figure (2), the heating function of the ironing surface (2/a) in figure (2) by means of the heating element (2/n) in figure (2/1), the steam function performed by the steam circulation pipe (2/p) in figure (2/1) enable the construction of a really complete ironing board with an air suction and blowing function on its entire working surface, a heated ironing surface, and a steam function that make it similar to professional ironing boards.
Figures 4 and 5 show in detail two possible but not exhaustive solutions for the columns for raising/lowering the ironing surface (2).
Fig. 4 shows the telescopic column in a variant with a piston in its open position: (4/a) is the lower fixed part of the column, (4/c) is the mobile part of said telescopic column in its open position, (4/b) is the piston in its open position, (2) is the ironing surface in its raised position.
Figure (4/1) is a sectional view of the telescopic column in a variant with the piston in its closed position: (4/a) is the lower fixed part of said telescopic column, (4/e) is the mobile part of said telescopic column in its closed position, (4/f) is the piston in its closed position, (2) is the ironing surface in its lowered position.
Figure (5) shows the sectional view of the telescopic column in a worm screw variant in its raised position: (5/a) is the lower fixed part of said telescopic column, (5/b) is the upper mobile part of said telescopic column in its raised position, (5/c) is the worm screw in its raised position of said telescopic column, (5/d) is the electrical engine that operates the worm screw (5/c), (2) is the ironing surface upright rigidly connected to the worm screw (5/c) through the joint (5/e), (5/f) is the supporting hollow element on which the operating engine is fixed (5/d).
Figure (5/1) shows a sectional view of the telescopic column in a worm screw version in its lowered position: (5/g) is the lower fixed part of said telescopic column, (5/h) is the upper mobile part of said telescopic column in its lowered position, (5/i) is the worm screw in its lowered position, (2) is the ironing surface in its lowered position rigidly connected to the worm screw (5/i) through the joint (5/e), (5/m) is the engine that operates the worm screw (5/i), (5/o) is the supporting hollow element on which the operating engine is fixed (5/m).
The new ironing board also preferably includes an iron (Figure 6) where (6/a) is the iron body, (6/b) is the single pipe for the steam and power supply, (6/c) is the iron plug that will be inserted into the socket on the ironing surface (figure 1/2- 2/g).
These explanations are sufficient for an expert to build the invention and as a consequence there can be variations to the practical application without prejudice to the merit of this innovative idea. Therefore, with reference to the previous descriptions and to the tables enclosed, the following claims are stated.
