Specification of Letters Patent. Patented July 27, 1915.
Application filedJune 28, 1912. Serial No. 706,349.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, FRANK Coss, a citizen of the United States, residing I at Greencastle, in the county of Putnam and State of Indiana, have invented a new and useful Article of Kitchen Furniturewith Ironing- Board Attachment, of which the following is a specification.
It is the object of my invention to provicle an ironing board attachment for kitchen furniture, such as kitchen tables and kitchen cabinets, which ironing board when in use is in convenient position for work, which when not in use is completely out of sight and located in space otherwise wasted, and which may conveniently be brought to working position and removed therefrom.
In the accompanying drawing, which illustrates my invention, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a kitchen table embodying my invention, the ironing board being in place for work; Fig. 2 is a similar view of a kitchen cabinet embodying my invention; Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectionalview showing the mounting of the ironingboard; Fig. 4 is a vertical side sectional view showing the ironing board in retracted position; Fig. 5 is a perspective view showing the mounting of the ironing board leg; and Fig. 6 is a partial detail view taken from the right of Fig. 1.
Just below the table top 10 of the kitchen table or kitchen cabinet, and preferably at the right hand end thereof, is mounted a slide 11, which is provided with grooves 12 at its edges and is slidably mounted on pins 13 projecting inwardly from the skirting 14 and from a cross bar 14 mounted below the top 10. The pins 18 are arranged on a slant, so that the slide 11 as it is moved forward also rises slightly. Hinged at the front end of the slide 11 is an ironing board 15, which projects transversely across and beyond the slide 11 for substantially the full length of the table or cabinet. The purpose of having the slide 11 move on an incline is to cause the ironing board tobe high enough when in use to enable the user to iron on it without stooping, while at the same time allowing the table top 10 to be sufficiently low. The skirting at the front of the table or cabinet is made in two sections, the upper section 16 being hinged to the lower so that it can be swung downward, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, to allow the slide 11 and the ironing board 15 to be moved in or out. When the slide and ironing board are in retracted pos1t1on,as shown in Fig. 4, the section'l6 may be swung upward so that the ironing board is completely concealed. The ironing board when in retracted position lies substantially parallel to the slide 11. However, when the ironing board is in working position, it must be substantially horizontal. To raise the rear edge of the ironing board to obtain this horizontal position, a metal bar or plate 17 is hinged to the lower side of the ironing boa-rdnear its rear edge. This plate 17 projects nearly the full length of the ironing board, as indicated in Fig. 1, and at one end has a finger 17 which extends under a guide 11 on the slide 11. When the plate 17 is turned transversely to the plane of the ironing board, it supports the rear edge of the latter sufliciently above the slide 11 to bring the two edges of the ironing board on substantially the same level, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2; but when turned parallel to such ironing board, it permits the rear edge to drop to the position shown in Fig. 4. When the plate 17 is in the position shown in Figs. 1 and 2, it braces the ironing board and prevents the latter from bending to any extent to allow the end thereof which is remote from the slide 11 to be depressed during the ironing operation, the finger 17 under the guide 11 preventing the end of the bar 17 over the slide 11 from being raised. In order further to support this free end of the ironing board, a supporting leg 20 may be provided. This supporting leg conveniently consists of a U-shaped piece of stout metal wire having its ends bent inward from the metal plate 21 fastened to the under side of the ironing board and spaced therefrom by a spacing strip 22. The inturned ends of the wire forming the leg 20 may slide along the plate 21 between the positions shown in the full and dotted lines in Fig. 5, and the leg 20 may be swung up substantially parallel with the ironing board and there supported on a finger 23 from the plate 21, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 5.
I claim as my invention:
1. An article of kitchen furniture, comprising a suitably supported table top, a
slide mounted below said table top and slidable in and out from under the table top on an incline which rises in the direction in which the slide moves as it is slid from under the table to 3, and an ironing board carried by such sli e.
prising a suitably supported table top, a
slide mounted below said table top and slidable on an incline in and out from under the table top, an ironing board hinged at its forward edge to said slide, and releasable means for supporting the rear edge of said ironing board above said slide to make the ironing board horizontal, said means comprising a member located'between the slide and the ironing board near the rear edge of the latter and hinged to one of said members' so that it can be moved to different angles relative to the plane of the ironing board. a
4. An article of kitchen furniture, comprising a suitably supported table top, a slide mounted below said table top and slidable on an incline-in and out from under the table top, an ironing board hinged at its forward edge to said slide, and releasable means for supporting the rear edge of said ironing board above said slide to make the ironing board horizontal, said means comprising a plate located between the slide. and the ironing board near the rear edge of the latter and hinged to one of said members so that it can be movedto different angles relative to the plane of the ironing board, said plate projecting lengthwise of the ironing board beyond the slide to serve as a stiffening member for the ironing board.
In witness whereof, I have heretmto set my hand and seal at Indianapolis, Indiana,
this twenty-fifth" day of June, A. D. one f thousand nine hundred. and twelve.
