IRONING-IABLE.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, ABRAHAM T. GOLD- FIELD, .a citizen of Russia, residing at New York city, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Ironing-Tables, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to ironing tables and its object is to provide a device which can be formed into an ironing board or into a table for ordinary use as may be desired and as will be more fully described in the following specification, set forth in the claim. and illustrated in the drawings, wherein- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the improved table. Fig. 2 is a similar view of the device transformed into an ironing board. Fig. 3 is a plan view of a part of the frame of the table. Fig. 4c is an end view of a portion of the table, looking in the direction of the hinged end of the part 5. Fig. 5 is a view similar to Fig. 4, looking in the direction of the free end of the section 5. Fig. 6 is a section through the table, showing the section 7 folded beneath the section 5.

The board is made in two sections 5 and 6 of the shape of an ordinary ironing board when the parts are brought into position as shown in Fig. 2. The two sections are hinged together and the part 5 constitutes a part of the top of the table, the other part of the top being a section 7, also hinged to part 5 and adapted to fold beneath same when the device is formed into an ironing board. The part 5 is hinged to one end 8 of a frame by means of hinges 9. The frame consists of the end 8 and an opposite end 10, the two ends being united by a brace 11 and each end has its legs 12. The end 8 comprises a solid bar uniting its two legs 12, but the end 10 comprises a hinged portion 13, which carries one of the legs and which is adapted to swing around as shown inFig. 2 when it is desired to cause it to constitute a support for the section 6.

In order to convert the table into an ironing board, the sections 5 and 7 are swung Copies of this patent may be obtained for Specification of Letters Patent.

up on the hinges 9 and a portion 14 of the end S is swung around on the hinge 15 permitting the part 7 to be folded beneath the board section 5. Said portion 14: also forms a rest for the section 7 when the latter lies in thesame general plane with the section 5 as shown in Figs. 1 and 1. When the section 7 is folded to underlie the section 5, it is disposed in an intervening recess 16 between the under surface of the section 5 and the reduced part 17 of said portion 1 1. This permits the section 5 to lie in a true horizontal position. The end 10 is recessed longitudinally along its upper surface, as at 18, to accommodate an adjacent portion of the section 7 when the latter is folded under the section 5, thereby permitting-the latter to be properly sustained in a horizontal position to insure the proper engagement of the free section 6 with theportion 13. The leg 12'carried by the section 13 is then swung around beneath the section 6 after it is (-)X tended.

It is obvious that the table may be constructed of any desired size or strength and the parts may be otherwise arranged and modified without departing from the essential features above described.

What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is,-

In an ironing table, the combination with a frame composed of three rigid legs connected together, of a pivoted leg adapted to swing in advance of the table and hinged to the frame, a top section hinged to the frame, a drop end hinged to the same, a second hinged section connected with the first and adapted to be folded beneath same, the pivoted leg when swung beneath the drop section being adapted to support it.

In testimony whereof I affiX my signature in presence of two witnesses.
