  • Such a protective cover makes it possible to leave the lower part of the rear panel 51 free of movement with respect to the upper part while covering the board 5 to make contact with the latter more pleasant, this cover being produced, in a manner known per se , in a vapor-permeable material.
  • the ironing device thus produced therefore has the advantage of offering a large number of possible configurations for the positioning of the board making it possible to optimize its ergonomics of use during ironing/smoothing work using an iron. iron or a steaming brush.
  • the board has the advantage of being fixed to a frame whose the lower end protrudes outside the board and to be pivotally mounted relative to the base using a hinge device allowing rotation of the entire board around a horizontal axis.
  • the presence of the clamping device associated with this articulation device allows the user to put this articulation device under stress in order to eliminate the slight deflections of the board linked to the functional clearances of the articulation device around from the vertical position. An ironing board is thus obtained which has very good stability in this position.
  • Such a device comprises a frame integrated into the board which has the advantage of being substantially invisible, being perfectly integrated between the front and rear panels when the board occupies a substantially vertical position.
