HENRY GESE, OF AMES, IOWA.
IRONING BOARD.
Application filed Eebruary 21), 1922. Serial No. 537,926.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HENRY GIESE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ames, in the county of Story and the State of Iowa, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ironing Boards, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to foldable ironing boards, and has for one of its objects to improve the construction and increase the efficiency and utility of devices of this character.
With these and other objects in view the invention consists in certain novel features of construction as hereinafter shown and described and then specifically pointed out in the claim, and in the drawings illustrative of the preferred embodiment of the invention Figure 1, is a front elevation with the improved board within its cabinet or housing which constitutes a supporting structure, and in elevated or inoperative position with the door of the cabinet removed.
Fig. 2, is a front elevation of the cabinet or housing for the board with the door thereof closed.
Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section of the cabinet or housing with the board and its supporting brace device in elevation and in open position.
Fig. 4, is an enlarged detail from beneath, in section on the line 4-4 of Figure 3, of a portion of the improved device.
Fig. 5, is a detached view of the guide plate carried by the brace member.
The improved device is arranged to be enclosed in a cabinet or housing, represented as a whole at 10 and constituting a supporting structure, the cabinet having a swinging closure or door 11.
Swingingly mounted, preferably by dowel pins 12, to the side walls of the supporting structure or cabinet 10, is an ironing board 3 of the usual size and form, and thus foldable into the cabinet when not in use, as shown in Figure 1.
Attached transversely to the under face of the board13 is asupporting cleat 14, and attached to one edge of the cleat is a plate 15. Pivoted or otherwise rigidly secured in the plate is a guide rod 16 the latter extending in parallel relation to the under face of the board and spaced therefrom and attached at 17 to the board.
Hingedly connected at 18 to the bottom member of the supporting structure 10 is a relatively wide brace member 19 having a plate 20 attached to its free end. The plate 20 is centrally apertured to slidably engage the rod 16, as shown in Figures 2 and 4.
The hinge point 18 is disposed at a lower part of the cabinet than the dowel pins 12, so that when the board 13 is in its lower or operative position as shown in Figure 3, the brace member 19 will be directed obliquely to the longitudinal plane of the board with the plate 20 bearing flatly against the plate 15, and firmly holding the board 13 in horizontal position.
The strain is thus very largely borne by the rigidly supported cleat 14.
The brace member 19 is relatively wide to increase the stability, and is provided with a recess 21 to permit the movements between the parts without cramping.
The rod 16 and plates 15 and 20 are of metal, while the remainder of the parts are generally of wood, as light as possible consistent with the strains to which they will be subjected.
The preferred embodiment of the invention is disclosed in the drawings and set forth in the'specification, but it will be understood that modifications within the scope of the claimed invention may be made in the construction without departing from the principle of the invention or sacrificing any of its advantages.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is In a device of the class described, a sup porting structure, an ironing board pivoted at one end to the supporting structure above the bottom thereof, a cleat attached transversely to the underface of the ironing board intermediate the ends thereof, a guide rod connected at one end to the cleat and at the other end to the board, a brace member swingingly coupled at one end to the sup port and spaced below the pivoted point of the same, and a plate perforated to movably engage said guide rod and attached to said brace.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature hereto.
HENRY GIESE.
