ATTACHMENT FOB- IRONING BOARDS.
Application filed October 20, 1921. Serial No. 508,905.
T 0 (ZZZ whom it may concern Be it known that I. MAHLON M. ZELLERS,
a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the cit of Belleville, in the county of St. Clair and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Attachments for Ironing Boards, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to ironing board attachments and has for its object to provide a device that will support the ends of a sheet or other long article while it is being ironed. The invention consists principally in removable aprons adapted to be suspended at the sides of the ironing board in position to receive the ends of an article being ironed. The invention further consists in the parts and combinations of parts herein after described and claimed.
In the drawings, which form part of this specification and wherein like reference characters indicate like parts wherever they occur,
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of an ironing board provided with an attachment embodying my invention;
Fig. 2 is a bottom plan view thereof; and
Fig. 3 is an end elevation.
In ironing long articles such as sheets and table cloths, considerable difiiculty is experienced by reason of the fact that the ends thereof extend down to the floor and are likely to become mussed by contact with the floor or by being stepped on and that when the end portions of the article are being ironed, the weight of the article causes it to slip off the board. To obviate these difficulties. I suspend along both sides of the ironing board aprons or receptacles of cloth or other suitable material that are adapted to support the ends of an article being ironed.
Secured to the under side of the ironing board 1 near the ends thereof are blocks 2 on which are pivotally mounted arms 3 that are adapted to be turned on their pivots to extend transversely of the ironing board 1. In this position. the arms 3 project beyond the sides of the board. To each arm are secured hooks 4 or the like, one near the outer D0 end of the arm and one underneath the ironing board.
Cloth receptacles or aprons 5 have eyelets 6 whereby they may be suspended from the hooks 4 on the arms 3. These aprons 5 can tend along the side edges ofthe ironing board andhave one of their side walls beneath the board and the other spaced beyond the side edge thereof. Thus the ends of an article that projects beyond the side margins of the ironing board will hang over into the aprons. A stop member 7 is secured to each block 2 near the meeting ends of the arms 3. When said arms are disposed transversely of the board the stop members 7 may be turned to abut against the meeting ends of said arms 3. Thus the arms are prevented from being turned too far back under the board by the weight of the aprons and articles in them.
When the aprons 5 are not being used, they may be removed from the hooks 4. The stop. members 7 may be turned out of the way and the arms 3 swung around under the board as indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 2. lVith the arms folded under the ironing board, the board takes up little more storage room than the ordinary ironin board; and the arms are not likely to be broken off.
The above described apron attachment facilitates the work of ironing long articles. Ordinarily, the workof ironing the end portions of a long article is difficult by reason of the fact the weight of the article tends to pull it off the ironing board; Whereas with the above described attachment, the weight of the article is supported and it is easily held on the ironing board in any desired position. The aprons prevent the article being ironed from getting mussed or soiled.
What I claim is:
1. An attachment for ironing boards comprising a block adapted to be secured to the under side thereof, arms pivotally secured to said block and adapted tobe swung to extend transversely of the ironing board with their ends abutting, a stop secured to said block and abutting against said arms when they are in extended position, and hooks on said arms adapted to have aprons secured thereto to receive the ends of articles being ironed.
2. An attachment for ironing boards comprising a block adapted to be secured to the under side of an ironing board, arms pivotall secured to said block and adapted to be swung to extend transversely of the ironing hooks on said arms adapted to have aprons board with their ends abutting, a stop sesuspended therefrom along the sides of the cured to said block and adapted to be turned ironing board to receive the ends of articles 1 so as to abut against the ends of said arms being ironed.
5 to hold said arms in position and to be Signed at St. Louis, Missouri, this 18th turned out of the way to permit said arms day of October, 1921. to be swung under the ironing board and MAHLON M. ZELLERS.
