2. Description of the Related Art The applicant of the present application has formed a head and a torso having a shape close to the upper half of the human body, and uses a quadratic curved surface that gradually decreases from a central portion along the longitudinal direction toward both side edges as an ironing surface. To do this, we have proposed an ironing board that is molded into a hollow shape.

In this ironing board, further, by forming innumerable convex portions on the iron action surface, it is possible to realize a state in which steam supplied from the iron is appropriately retained in the valleys of the innumerable convex portions. By applying steam to clothes to be ironed from above and below, ironing can be effectively performed.

Further, since this ironing board has an iron working surface which is a quadric surface that gradually decreases from the central portion along the longitudinal direction toward both side edges, the load bearing capacity in the vertical direction becomes large, and further, the ironing function is achieved. Since the state between the surface and the flat ironing surface is close to the line contact state, the resistance when moving the iron is reduced, so that a light ironing operation can be provided.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 shows an ironing board 1 together with a steam iron 10 with a part broken away. It is the appearance perspective view shown.

In this figure, an ironing board 1 is provided with a base portion 2 for shaping it into a shape close to the upper half of the human body as shown in the figure. The base portion 2 is integrally formed with a head and a body portion, and A quadratic curved surface that gradually decreases from the central portion along the longitudinal direction toward both side edge portions is configured as an ironing surface.

On the back side of the base portion 2, there is provided a leg member 9 which is set in a used state as shown in the drawing.
In the state shown in the drawing, clothes to be ironed can be put on the ironing board 1 as required, so that the ironing work is facilitated. In addition, after use, the leg members 9 can be folded so that they can be stored while leaning against a narrow storage portion.

Innumerable convex portions 3 as shown in the drawing are molded on the ironing surface of the base portion 2, and a thick non-woven fabric or felt member 5 is laid on these convex portions 3 and this felt member is formed. A cloth cover 6 is covered so as to cover 5, and a string is passed through a portion of the cloth cover 6 which is sewn at the edge, and the back surface of the base 2 is tied at the end of the cord at the edge of the felt to make the felt. Since the member 5 is completed in such a way that it can be fixed immovably on the ironing surface of the base 2, the cloth cover 6 can be removed and washed when it becomes dirty. Alternatively, the damaged cloth cover can be easily replaced.

On the other hand, a first through hole 7 having a number smaller than the number of the convex portions 3 is formed in the valley portion of the convex portion 3, and both side edges of the base portion 2 and the end face of the body portion are provided with a first through hole 7. Two through holes 4 are provided as shown.

Next, FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line XX of FIG. In this figure, the same reference numerals are given to the components already described and the description thereof is omitted. The base 2 is molded into a hollow shape as shown in the figure. Specifically, the base 2 is made of a polyethylene resin, polystyrene resin, styrene-acrylonitrile resin, or polypropylene resin parison, and is blow molded by blow molding.
It is integrally molded with. A string 20 is inserted through the sewn portion of the cloth cover 6, and the ends are tied so as to be detachably fixed as described above.

The heat resistant temperature of the above resin materials is 20 at the maximum.
It is around 0 ° C., and when it exceeds this temperature, it deforms and does not retain its original shape, but as a result of the formation of innumerable convex portions 3,
Since these function as appropriate heat dissipation members, no deformation occurs at high temperatures. Further, as shown in the drawing, since the cross-sectional shape that is convex upward has a large quadratic coefficient of cross section, there is an advantage that the load resistance in the vertical direction is large and the weight is light.

The first through hole 7 and the second through hole 4 are processed in the base 2 prepared as described above by a drill or a grinder.

With the above structure, clothes are ironed by the heat generated when ironing the steam iron 10 while moving it in the longitudinal and lateral directions shown in FIG. On the other hand, most of the steam that has passed through the clothes passes through the cloth cover 6 and the felt member 5 and stays in the valleys between the convex portions 3. Further, the excessively supplied steam is introduced into the inside of the base portion 2 through the first through hole 7 formed in the valley portion of the convex portion 3 and escapes from the second through hole 4 to the outside. become.

For this reason, even when a large amount of steam is supplied to the same position on the ironing surface with the steam iron 10 stopped, the steam is not excessively supplied to the valleys of the convex portions 3. Steam is always applied to the clothes to be ironed in an optimum state from the top and bottom.

Referring again to FIG. 1, the base 2 has a total length of 20.
Both arms (shown by a chain double-dashed line) of cm or less are further integrally molded, and by making a so-called "slave shape", children's clothes can be completely put on and ironed.

Finally, FIG. 3 is a plan view of the head portion of the base portion 2. As shown in the drawing, the first through holes 7 have four convex portions 3 arranged vertically and horizontally at pitches P1 and P2. Each of the holes is provided so that the steam can be sufficiently applied to the clothes, and the excess steam can be discharged to the outside of the base as described above.

Further, when water drops are formed inside the base portion 2, they can be dropped from the second through hole 4 by leaning against them.

[0023]

As described above, according to the present invention,
Even when a large amount of steam is supplied while the steam iron is stopped at the same place on the ironing surface, steam is not excessively supplied to the valleys of the convex parts, and clothes to be ironed It is possible to provide an ironing board on which steam can be constantly applied in an optimum state from the top and bottom.
