Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to an ironing board in which a pair of support legs are foldably attached to a lower surface of a base plate.

[Conventional technology]

Generally, an ironing board in which a pair of support legs is foldably attached to the lower surface of a base plate, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 62-41758, is used so that the horizontal leg is pulled out below the base plate in parallel with the base plate. In order to stably support the base plate, auxiliary support legs are provided separately from the horizontal legs.

Further, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 50-70300, leg supporting portions are formed at both ends of a reinforcing plate attached to the bottom of a workbench, and a supporting leg provided with a pin on the leg supporting portion is rotated. An ironing board that is freely attached and has a guide groove in which the pin of the support leg slides is formed in the leg support portion, and the pin of the support leg is engaged with the end of the guide groove to hold the support leg. There is.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

However, in the ironing board provided with the above-mentioned horizontal legs and the auxiliary supporting legs, the horizontal legs pulled out below the base plate are an obstacle, and the knees cannot be inserted below the ironing board to perform ironing. Further, in order to stably support the base plate, auxiliary support legs must be provided separately from the horizontal legs, which complicates the configuration and increases the cost.

Furthermore, the conventional ironing board that holds the support leg by engaging the pin of the support leg with the end of the guide groove of the leg support is fixed by simply abutting the pin of the support leg to the end of the guide groove of the leg support. Since the support leg is not held by using any means, the pin is guided when the support leg is pushed inward by the knee abutting against the support leg during ironing. It may move in the groove and be folded. Also, since the support legs are not sandwiched via packing, etc., the support legs idle until the end of the guide groove end of the leg support part engages with the pins of the support legs, making it possible to maintain the posture of the support legs. Therefore, it is not possible to open and fold the support legs smoothly and gently.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

The present invention has been made as a result of various investigations in view of the present situation. Two pairs of front and rear bearing members are fixed to the four corners of the lower surface of the base plate, and a pair of support legs are horizontally attached to each of the front and rear bearing members. The legs are rotatably fitted and sandwiched via packing, and the legs that are bent at both ends of the horizontal part of each support leg can be folded inward, and the horizontal wall of each support leg has a rectangular hanging space. And a protrusion having an engaging stop piece that abuts the lower surface of the base plate when the legs are opened, and an engaging portion that has a bulge that can be forcibly fitted into the rectangular engaging space of the engaging stop piece that abuts the lower surface of the base plate. Use an auxiliary support leg by fixing the piece to the bottom surface of the base plate and by forcibly inserting the bulging part of the engagement piece into the rectangular engagement space of the engagement stop piece by rotation of each support leg and engaging. There is no need to put your knees under the ironing board to allow ironing. , The support legs can be smoothly and gently opened or folded, and the support legs that have been opened can be firmly fixed and engaged to support the base plate with extremely high stability.
