Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an improvement of an ironing board mainly used in general households.

[Conventional technology]

Generally, an ironing board has a structure in which four support legs each having a locking mechanism at the base are foldably fixed to the back of the main body of the board.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

When using a conventional ironing board with the above configuration, not only do each support leg have to be raised and locked one by one, but when ironing cylindrical clothing such as skirts, the support legs must be It gets in the way and makes it impossible to insert a part of the fabric under the main body of the stand. For this reason, it is necessary to iron the top surface of the stand body while the fabrics overlap. In this case, the wrinkles on the top fabric can be ironed while visually checking the wrinkles, so the wrinkles can be smoothed out, but the bottom fabric often has wrinkles, so it has to be turned over several times. has the disadvantage of having to be ironed.

Focusing on these drawbacks, the present invention has been designed to make it extremely easy to open and close the foldable support legs, ensuring stable usage conditions, and making it possible to iron cylindrical clothing such as skirts without using the back side of the stand body. The purpose is to provide an ironing board that can be used effectively.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention has a rotating shaft 2 having a bent part 1 for back contact in the middle part, and a horizontal leg 3 parallel to the rotating shaft 2. Consisting of two support legs 5, 5' integrally connected by a connecting leg 4 in a direction forming an acute angle α with respect to the direction in which the bent portion extends, and a base body 6, the back surface 7 of the base body 6 A further feature is that the rotation shafts 2 of the two support legs 5, 5' are supported and fixed so that they can be raised and lowered in parallel and inward.

[Effect]

The ironing board of the present invention configured as described above has the support legs 5, 5' which are folded inwardly with respect to each other, when the support legs 5, 5' are erected around the rotation shaft 2, the back surface abutting bend formed on the rotation shaft 2 is formed. The part 1 comes into contact with the back surface of the stand main body 6 and does not rotate any further. At this time, the connecting leg 4 connecting the rotation shaft 2 and the horizontal leg 3 is
Since it forms an acute angle .alpha. with respect to the back contact bending section 1, the stand is opened downward and is in a working position to support the load applied to the upper surface of the stand main body 6. In this working position, the support legs 5, 5' are in a horizontal U-shape when viewed from the front, with the back surface of the stand main body 6 being open.
The state is such that there is no problem in putting cylindrical clothing on from the end of the base body 6.

When folding, the support legs 5, 5' are rotated about the rotation shaft 2 in opposite directions to the above-mentioned directions, so that the support legs 5, 5' fall toward the back surface of the base body 6, and are in the folded state.

〔Example〕

The drawings show an embodiment of the present invention, in which Fig. 1 is a rear perspective view of the supporting legs in an upright state, Fig. 2 is a rear perspective view of the support legs in a folded state, Fig. 3 is a front view of the same in use. FIG.

In the figure, reference numeral 6 denotes a stand main body having a rectangular plane with one end obliquely, and supporting legs 5, 5' are attached to the back surface 7 of the stand main body. These support legs 5, 5' are made by bending a single metal tube into a U-shape so that one side is shorter.
The shorter one is the pivot shaft 2 for raising and lowering, the bent part is the connecting leg 4, and the longer one is the horizontal leg 3, and at the intermediate position of the pivoting shaft 2, an acute angle α is formed with the connecting leg 4. It has a structure in which a bent part 1 for back contact is formed, which functions as a rotation restriction, and is protruded and bent in the direction in which the back contact is made. By rotatably attaching the base body 6, the cylindrical fabric can be covered from one side of the base body 6. Support leg 5,
In the illustration, the mounting positions of the connecting legs 5' are the same on the left and right, and the height of the connecting legs 4 is narrower than the spacing between the supporting legs.
In order to reduce the folded volume, it is preferable to position the connecting leg 4 at a position slightly shifted in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 2 and to make the height of the connecting leg 4 wider than the mutual spacing between the supporting legs 5 and 5'.

Reference numeral 9 denotes an auxiliary support leg, which is held and fixed between the support legs 5 and 5' on the back surface of the stand main body 6 so as to be able to freely rise and fall;
The free ends of the supporting legs 5, 5' are elastically locked in locking holes 10 formed inside the horizontal legs 3 in the tilted state, and the engagement is released when folded. and is thrown down onto the back surface 7 of the stand main body 6.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, according to the present invention, the support legs that support the stand main body are connected only at one end, and the other end is open, so that ironing can be easily done by covering the stand main body with a cylindrical skirt, etc. be able to.
In addition, since the supporting legs are integrally connected by connecting legs that are oriented at an acute angle α with respect to the bending direction of the back contact bending portion, the back contact bending portion acts as a stopper to lower the support leg. It is constrained to a stable state of opening. There is an effect that it can be easily assembled and folded without any locking operation when it is put into working condition, and also without any locking operation when folding. Further, since the supporting legs are manufactured by bending and forming a single member, the ironing board can be provided at low cost.
