IRONING-BOARD.
Specificationof Letters Patent.
Patented Mar. 9, 1915.
Application filed November 3, 1910, Serial No. 590,465. Renewed July 31, 1914. Serial No. 854,398.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that we, EDWARD O. RING- LAND and WILLIAM F. ENGLISH, citizens of the United States, residing at Petros, in the county of Morgan and State of Tennessee, have invented new and useful Improvements in Ironing-Boards, of which the following is a specification.
Our invention relates to laundry appliances and more particularly an ironing board.
An object of our invention is to provide an ironing board, which is adapted to be fastened permanently in place against the wall, and which may be folded out of the way when not in use.
Another object of our invention is to provide a device of the above nature, which shall have two separate work supporting surfaces, one for general work and the other for use as a sleeve board.
With the foregoing and other objects in view our invention consists in such details of construction and in the arrangement and combination of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described and specifically pointed out, in the appended claim.
In describing our invention in detail reference will be had to the accompanying drawings, in which like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views and in which,
Figure 1 is a view in side elevation of our invention both boards being shown in a lowered position. Fig. 2 is a view in front elevation. Fig. 3 is a View in front elevation showing the sleeve board in raised position. Fig. 4; is a view similar to Fig. 3 showing both boards in raised position. Fig. 5 is a View similar to Fig. 1 with the boards in the positions shown in Fig. 4 and Fig. 6 is a detailed view of the device for locking one of the boards in raised position.
In carrying our invention into practice, we employ a back board, 1 of any suitable size and connect blocks 2 and 3 to one surface of said board, said blocks being disposed respectively near the center, and near the lower end of said back board.
Hingedly connected to the block 2 is an ironing board 4 which may be of usual size or may be varied in size and shape, to suit particular circumstances the size and shape not forming any part of our invention. A bifurcated arm 5 is swingingly attached to the under-surface of the board 4 a block 6 be ng disposed adjacent to the fixed end of said arm so as to prevent the latter from swinging into a perpendicular position. It Wlll be seen that the arm 5 is of such length as will hold the board 4 in a perfectly horizontal position when the free end of said arm is supported upon the block 3.
The upper end of the back board .1 is recessed as at 7 the sides of said recess being convergingly shaped so as to snugly receive a sleeve board 8, which like the board 4: is hingedly connected to the back board. The member 8 is supported by means of an arm 9, which is adapted to rest upon the block 2 and which is prevented from hanging perpendicularly, by means of a block 10.
It will be seen that when the board 1 is firmly fixed to a wall or other perpendicular supporting surface the ironing boards 4 and 8 may be lowered into and supported in a horizontal position independently of each other or both of them may be disposed in such position at the same time if it is desirable. In order to hold said boards in folded position any form of catches may be provided. In the drawings we show a pivotally mounted keeper 11, which will extend partially across the board 8 when the latter is raised, thus holding it locked in an upright position. Blocks 12 are disposed on each side of the recess 7 in order to limit the movement of the larger board. To one of these blocks is attached a spring catch 13, having an aperture 14 therein, which aperture is adapted to receive a pin 15, projecting from the side of the board, when the latter is raised. Thus it will be seen both of the boards may be locked so as to prevent them from falling downward into a horizontal position.
It will be seen, by referring to the drawings, that the supporting arms 5 and 9 are maintained constantly at acute angles to their respective boards except when the structure is folded together. As a result, when either the board 8 or the board 4 is swung downwardly to operative position, the blocks 10 or 6 respectively contact with the upper ends of the arms hingedly connected to said boards and guide them onto the supporting blocks 2 and 3 so that it becomes unnecessary to push the arms toward the back board, as would be the case should the stop blocks 6 and 10 be dispensed with.
It will be noted that the board 8 can be swung upwardly and secured when not to be used, thus leaving the board a in position for use, as indicated in Fig. 3. If desired, however, both boards can be swungupwardly, board 4 moving upwardly against the board 8 and. pushing it back into the recess 7 while the said board a finally comes into engagement with the spring catch 13, this catch being sufficient to hold both boards elevated. \Vith the two boards thus raised, it will be seen that board l bears against the block 10, thus preventing any play of the board 8 while the two boards are being held in raised position by the one catch 13. Block 10 thus constitutes both a stop for the arm 9 and a spacer for holding the board 8 against rattling when the two boards are held folded upwardly by the single catch 13.
We desire it to be understood that slight changes in the construction and in the arrangement and combination of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of our invention, provided such changes fall within the scope of the appended claim.
Having thus fully described our invention, what we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
An ironingboard including. a back board 1 having a recess, a sleeve board-,hingedly connected thereto, and foldable into the recess, a stop block secured to the back board T adjacent the recess, a combined stop and spacing-element secured to the lower face of the sleeve board, a bracing element hingedly connected to the lower face of the sleeve board and limited in its swinging movement ironing board contacting with the block and with the stop block when the two boards are folded, and a catch for automatically engaging the ironing board to lock. the
boards in folded position.
