Description

"Ironing table".

  The present invention relates to an ironing table comprising a large tray and a small

plateau, also called jeannette.

  Such an ironing table is already known. For reasons of space, the small and the

  large trays are connected to each other through

  medium of connecting elements, the small and large trays alternately constituting a bearing surface and an ironing surface. Such an ironing board is placed on an existing surface as a kitchen table. For the usual ironing work, use the large tray and to iron particular parts of a garment (shirt sleeves, etc.)

  we use the small tray, also called jeannette.

  For this, it is necessary to return the ironing table and

  make him take support on the big plateau.

  Although such a solution has certain advantages, since the large tray and the jeannette are connected to one another and that one or the other constitutes the work surface while the other constitutes the

  support surface, this ironing table presents the

  convenient to be cumbersome in that it is thick,

  the large tray or small tray to be sufficient

  apart from each other so that clothing pieces such as

  shirt sleeves and so that the work surface is at the proper height for ironing. Another disadvantage is the need to have to return this ironing table to use the large tray or small tray. The present invention proposes to create an ironing table of the above type, which is of a small size and a practical use, not

requiring no flipping.

  For this purpose, the invention relates to an ironing table characterized in that the large plate is trapezoid-shaped rectangle and the small plate (jeannette has a triangular shape or trapeze rectangles which is juxtaposed with the large plate, constitutes a rectangular surface , the small and large trays being located on the same side of the support, being connected to the support by means of articulated arms for applying the two trays against the support in the retracted storage position, to raise the large plateau while leaving the small tray in the retracted position or put the small tray in the use position regardless of the large tray, or to juxtapose the small tray and large trays, so as to obtain a large ironing surface. Ironing is not bulky

  both for use and for storage.

  For ironing, one can use either the large tray, the small tray, or the meeting of the

  large and small trays, without having to return the

  appears. As also, it is not necessary to return the ironing table, the large tray can have dimensions larger than those of the

  known plateau, which must be able to turn around.

  It should be noted that the table can be folded back, unfolding this table does not constitute

260,973?

  no embarrassment for storage or use.

  On the contrary, the height of the work surface can be defined in the most practical way taking into account the usual height of a table such as a kitchen table, on which the table is placed

  of ironing and, on the other hand, the most practical height

tick for ironing.

  According to another advantageous characteristic

  geuse, the support is a tubular support, so light; the large plate and the small plate are constituted by expanded sheet metal elements, covered with a flexible cover. In a particularly interesting way,

  the angle of the inclined side of the large plateau is 66.

  The corresponding angle of the jeannette is a complete angle

1140.

  According to another characteristic, it is particularly advantageous for the corners of the trays to be rounded. This facilitates the slipping of clothing around the corners and the ironing of delicate parts or

not very accessible.

  The present invention will be described in more detail with the aid of the accompanying drawings, in which - Figure 1 is a schematic perspective view of an ironing table according to the invention - Figures 2A2D represent the different positions of the trays of the ironing board according to the invention; - Figure 3 is a top view of the large tray and the small tray of an ironing board according to the invention. According to Figure 1, the ironing table consists of a large plate 1 and a small plate 2 (also called jeannette). The large plate 1 has a rectangular trapezoidal shape whose large base 3 and small

260,973.

  base 4 correspond to the lateral sides of the ironing board. The short side 5 is perpendicular to the bases 3 and 4 and the short side 6 or inclined side makes a

  angle different from 90 with respect to sides 3 and 4.

  The small plate 2 is in the form of a triangle or trapeze rectangles, the three sides of which bear the references 7, 8, 9. The inclined side 9 is parallel to the side 6 of the large plate 1. The side 7 is parallel to the base 4

  and the side 8 parallel to the base 5.

  When the large and the small trays 1, 2 are placed against each other, either in the raised position,

  in a lowered position, as will be discussed later

  later, the edges 6 and 9 are joined, the large plate 1 and the small plate 2 constituting a surface

rectangular set.

  The large plate 1 and the small plate 2 are connected to a support 10 by means of articulated arms. The large plate 1 comprises two articulated arms 11, 12, stirrup-shaped, the central portion 13 is pivotally attached below the large table 1 by means of collars or tabs; the lateral branches 14, 15 constitute rods whose ends 16, 17 are inserted into bearings (holes)

made in the frame 10.

  The structure of the other arm 12 is identical

  to that of the arm 11 and will not be described. In the description

  above, the arms 11, 12 and, hereinafter, the

  arms 18, 19 are in fact double arms. He would also

  It is also possible to mount large and small trays 1, 2 on demibras, on each side of the tray. However,

  such a variant is less simple for mounting.

  The small plate 2 is also supported in a liftable manner by two arms 18, 19. The arm 19 is

  of similar or identical shape to the arms 11 and 12.

  On the other hand, the arm 18 is of slightly different shape

260973X

  in that its central portion 20 is shorter than

  the central part 13 of the other stirrups and the prolongations

  21, 22 articulated on the support 10 are longer than the extensions 16, 17. This particular form of the articulated arm 19 is made necessary by the narrowness of the small plate 2 to

  the place where this articulated arm is attached 18.

  The ironing board also comprises a support 23 also in the form of stirrup and which serves as a strut for the jeannette when it is rotated in the direction of the arrow B (opposite direction of

  clockwise) to stay in the up position.

  On the other hand, when the small plate 2 is tilted in the opposite direction (arrow A), its edge 9 bears against the edge 6 and the holding of the large plate 1

serves to hold the small tray 2.

  The high position of the large plate is fixed by a thrust rod 24 on which rests one of the arms, for example the arm 11. Such a rod

  could also be provided in front of the arm 12.

  Large and small trays 1, 2 are generally constituted by a peripheral frame carrying a rigid support sheet expanded, all being coated

an ironing case.

  According to a feature not shown, the support 10, for example frame-shaped or shaped

of U, is constituted by a tube.

  Figures 2A, 28, 2C, 2D show the differences

  rents positions of the large plateau 1 and the small plateau 2.

  These different views are schematic views

ticks aside.

  Figure 2A shows the large plate 1 and the small plate 2 in the upper position, joined. The edge 9

  the small plate 2 is applied against the edge 6 corres-

  laying on the large plateau 1, the whole forming a large

rectangular ironing surface.

  In this position, the stirrups 11, 12 are retained in the inclined position, in the direction of the arrow A, by a transverse stop 24, the stirrup 11 resting on this abutment 24. Due to the corresponding inclination of the articulated arms 11, 12, the efforts

  exerted on the plate 1 are absorbed by the abutment 24.

  In this position, the small plate 2 itself is applied against the large plate 1, no stop being provided to limit the tilting

  articulated arms 18, 19 in this direction.

  FIG. 2B shows the ironing table, the large plate 1 being separated from the small plate 2 by tilting the small plate 2 to the left according to FIG.

this figure.

  The remarks made above about the big plate 1 are also valid in this case. The large plate 1 is blocked by the stop 24. By cons, as the small plate 2 no longer leans against the large plate 1, but it is inclined in the opposite direction, it has more support. For this reason, the ironing board has a strut 23 which blocks the position of the small plate 2 in the direction of tilting of the arrow B. FIG. 2C shows the large plate 1 in the position of use as it has already been described above in relation to FIGS. 2A and 2B. On the other hand, the small plate 2 is in the retracted position. For this, it has cleared the strut 23 so that the small plate 2 can continue its tilting in the direction of the arrow B and rest on the support 10. This corresponds to the rest position or retracted position

of the small plateau 2.

  Figure 2D shows the retracted position

  overall small and large trays.

  Starting from Figure 2C, to retract the table simply switch the large tray 1 always in the direction of the arrow B. The table is then retracted

  and has a very small width for storage.

  Figure 3 is a plan view of a particular example of an ironing table according to the invention. The large plate 1 consists of a rectangular trapezoid with rounded corners and the angle of the side 6 with respect to the

large base 3, made 66.

  The small plate 2 of triangular shape has a hypotenuse inclined at an angle complementary to that of the side 6, that is to say 114 (or 24) according to the selected reference. This figure also shows that all the corners of the large plate 1 and the small plate 2 have been rounded. It is advantageous that the straight and obtuse corners of the large plate 1 have a rounding of 50 mm, the projecting corner of the junction of the large base and the

  inclined side, corresponding to a radius of curvature of 35.

  The tip of the small plateau has a radius of curvature similar to the tip of the large plateau. It is the same for the other vertex on the side 9 which also has a rounding of 35 mm. The top of the right triangle of the

  small tray 2 has a rounding of 50 mm.
