FOLDABLE mourns BOARD. 1
Application filed February 20, 1922. Serial No. 537,877.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, JOHN P. DORAU, a citizen of the United States, residing at North Fond du Lac, in the county of Fond du Lac and State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Foldable Ironing Boards; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
My invention has for its principal object to provide a simple and inexpensive, yet an efficient and desirable ironing board whose legs and their braces may be compactly folded against the board when not in use.
A further object is to form the leg braces of springy material and to utilize their resiliency to retain the board supporting structure in operative position.
With the foregoing in view, the invention resides in the novel subject matter hereinafter described and claimed, the descriptive matter being supplemented by the accompanying drawings.
Figure 1 is a side elevation partly broken away and in section showing the board in position for use.
Figure 2 is a duplicate of Fig. 1 with the exception that it illustrates the board in folded position.
Figure 3 is a sectional View taken along the line 33 of Fig. 1.
Referring to the accompanying drawing, the numeral 1 designates an ironing board of any preferred shape, the relatively wide end of said board being supported by a leg structure 2 which consists of two legs 3 connected at their lower ends by a slat or the like 4 while their upper end portions are connected by a rod 5, the ends of which ex-- tend beyond the legs. At 6, the upper extremities of the legs 3 are pivoted to suitable brackets or the like 7 secured to the underside of the board 1, and at the point 8, said extremities of the legs are adapted to strike the board so as to limit swinging movement of the legs to operative position.
Crossing the legs 3 and pivotally con- I nected thereto by the ends of the rod 5, are
two inclined braces 9 whose upper ends are connected by a cross rod 10 slidably engaged by brackets 11 depending from the by a rung or rod 16. Theupper ends of the legs 14 are preferably pointed as indicated at 17 and are adapted to snap into either inner or outer grooves or sockets 18 and 19, respectively, which are formed in the'lower side of the board 1. The length of the leg structure 13 is such that the legs 14 cannot be engaged with the sockets 18 or319 until the braces 9 are sprung downwardly to some extent and thus the resiliency of these braces will retain the legs engaged with the sockets, so that the entire supporting frame for-the ironing boardis held in operative position by the resiliency in question.
When a skirt or the like is tobe passed 7 around the ironing board, the leg structure 13 may be swung outwardly from the board and after the skirt has been passed over the board, the leg structure may be swung into the outer sockets or grooves 19 giving ample room for properly pressing the longest apparel. If it is desired to use the narrow end of the ironing board, for instance for reception in an article of cloth ing, the leg structure 13 may be swung into the innermost sockets 18 as shown in Fig. 1, thus leavingthe narrow end of the board 1 projecting in the desired manner for use.
Not only will the structure above described be very advantageous whenin use,
but by reference to Fig. 2 it will be seen that the frame or supporting structure may be Attention is directed however to the An ironing board having a pivoted inwardly foldable leg structure at one end, a
pair of inclined braces pivoted near their upper ends to said leg structure and 0on nected at said upper ends by a transverse horizontal rod under the board, a pair of 5 horizontally elongated guides secured v to the lower side of the board and slidably receiving said rod, and a second leg strum second leg structure having detachable engagement with the board. a
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set a my hand.
JOHN P. DORAU.
