  • the user can also rotate the board 5 around the guide rod 60 as shown in the figure 5 , by simply forcing the board 5 so that the locking pins 48 are pushed back against their return spring 49 and come out of the openings 68, then allowing the board 5 to rotate freely through 180° thanks to the rotation of the clamps and tube 62 around guide rod 60.
  • this rotation of the board 5 around the guide rod 60 can be performed when the base 41 occupies the vertical position but also when the base 41 occupies the inclined position illustrated on the figure 4 .
  • the board 5 can also be brought into a horizontal position, by pressing the unlocking button 82 associated with the lock 80 to unlock the board 5 then by exerting pressure on the board 5 so as to make it tilt horizontally with the front panel 50 facing upwards.
  • the lower edge of the upper part 51B of the rear panel 51 which is driven in rotation exerts pressure on the upper edge of the lower part 51A of the rear panel 51 so that the lower part 51A moves in translation along the tube 62 against the return spring 66 towards a separated position in which the upper edge of the lower part 51A is far enough from the lower edge of the upper part 51B to allow rotation of the upper part 51B of the rear panel 51.
  • the lower edge of the upper part 51B of the rear panel 51 no longer interferes with the upper edge of the lower part 51A of the rear panel 51 and the return spring 66 returns the upper edge of the lower part 51A of the rear panel 51 in the immediate vicinity of the front panel 50 as shown in the figure 2 and 3 .
  • the hinges 7 are locked in the second position by inserting the locking bar 78 into the V-shaped groove 77.
  • the significant overhang created by the board 5 can generate a slight movement of the base 41 on the transverse bar 40 when pressure is exerted by the user on the board 5 due to the possible movements of the locking axes 45 and the pivot axes 42 in the notches 46A and oblong grooves 43.
  • the base 41 can be immobilized on the crossbar 40 by bringing the lever into the clamped position as shown on the figure 15 .

  • 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 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 brush smoothing.
  • the board has the advantage of being fixed to a frame, the lower end of which protrudes outside the board, and is pivotally mounted relative to the base using a hinge device allowing a rotation of the entire board around a horizontal axis.
  • 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.
  • the two faces of the board can be used for vertical smoothing operations without the frame causing any discomfort.
  • the user can also rotate the board around the guide rod, which then occupies a vertical position, in order to bring the board into the orientation that suits him best.
  • the frame also has the advantage of allowing rotation of three quarters of the body of the board around a second horizontal axis, advantageously placed at mid-height of the board, in order to allow the use of the board in a position substantially horizontal in which the front face provides a work surface suitable for ironing using an iron by allowing the user to exert significant pressure on the garment to be treated.
