Application fled H17 6, Io,- 180,186.-
- The invention r elates to im rovements in' foldable supporting means or iron ng boards and. it is the object of such invent on to provide a new and improved constructlon 5 and arrangement of parts which will be exceptionally simple and inexpensive, .yet will be 'efficient, reliable, and in every way desirable. I
With the foregoing in view, theinvention resides in the novel subject matter hereinafter described and claimed, the description being supplemented by the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 is a side elevation showmgthe 16 board in condition for use.- Figure 2 is an end elevation.
Figures 3- and 4 are detail transverse sec tions onlines 3-3 and 44'of Figure 1. Figure 5 is a side elevation and Figure 6 a bottom plan view, both showing the supporting structure in folded position.
The numeral 7 designates an ironing board of conventional shape, but provided with the new and improved supporting means, consti- 2 tutingthepresent, invention. The numerals 8 have reference to a pair ofle s at qne end of the board, suitably connecte by braces 8' and pivoted to said board at their upper I ends, so that they'may be upwardly folded,
as shown in Figures 5 and 6. The pivotal connections between the legs 8 and the' board 7, are of novel form and include a pair of vertical lugs 9 carried by said board, these lu s being preferably formed by downwardly handing the ends of a transvelse'bar 10whicl1 is suitably secured to the lower side'- of said board. The remaining portions of "these pivotal connections can, best be de scribed after first explaining other features to ofconstruction.
The numbers 11 designate two bracesl which are'pivoted at 12 to'the legs 8, between the ends of the latter, saidbraces inclining toward the board 7 am! haivmgfa;
sliding. connection with. the '-l'atter, which permits movement of said braces away from the lugs'9, when the legs 8, are upwardly swung, said sliding connectionnormally preventing'moveme'ntof the legs 8 in-theopposite direction. This sliding connection prefi erably comprises a wire bail 12' -carried by the upper ends of the braces 11 ,and Ia longitudinal track 13 securedfto the .lower side of;-
- .2 the board 7, said track slidably suspending 1 whic the blame is formed, as
7, at a point between the upper ends of the through suitable lugs 19 w ich are secured disposed at opposite sides of the leg. 17 and 1 otal'connections between said 'legs an ugs -To hold the pivots-25 in I tion, their-{outer ends are suite 1y bent, as;
1preferably extended laterally outward throng openings *14 in the braces 11 and are then bent downwardly and inwardly as at' 15, so as to establish an effective connection between the braces and the 60 bail, permitting sli ht pivotal movement of said bail. The trac 13 may well be formed from .a'flat metal bar vhaving its "major portion downwardly spaced from theboard 7, the ends efsaid bar however being upwardly offset and secured to the board by appro-- priate-fasteners 16. A third leg 17 inclines toward the legs 8 and is pivoted at itsfupper endto the board 7 0 braces 11 and legs8. The-pivot for this leg 17, may well be formed by passing a short length of wire 18 throu h the leg and to an project downwardly'from the boa-rd 7, the ends of the wire ,18 being laterally bent to prevent withdrawal of said wire.
Y The leg 17 is upwardly foldable, but provision is made for normall holding 'itagainst such hnovement.
oreover, the 30 braces 11 are provided with stop means nor smelly engaging the lower edge of said .leg
17, so that said braces ll cannot move in leg-folding direction, and permit upward swinging of the legs 8, until said leg 17 has "been upwardly swung. To attain this end,
Ipreferto provide asin'gle transverse bar 20 secured at its ends to therbraces 11,by appropriate fasteners 21. These braces are thebar 20 normally abuts said le as shown a in Figure 1-. Thus, movement 0 the braces I1'in' a direction which would permit fol'ding of the legs 8, is not permitted, as long] as the leg'll'. is held in its operative position. To hold the *leg 17 in efiective ition, I make'use of a U-shaped brace rod flwhose intermediate portion is engageable with a notch 23 or some equivalent shoulder formed on the leg 17, the latter being preferably provided .also with a guide 24'for-said intermediate portion; of.the brace rod. The ends -of. this rod are bent laterally outward as at 25 and are' assed through openingsinthe lugs 9. and age 8, thereby establishi ivand pivotally mounting the brace rod Ice.
roper posiv said third leg-against folding.
ing this movement, the sliding connection:
1213 comes into play to permit sliding of the braces alon the lower side of the board,
so that the entire supporting structure will then lie'in close proximity with the board and the device may be stored in small space.
When extending the device for use; the
legs -8 are first swung downwardly,tliereby positioning the braces 11 as shown in Figure 1. Then, the leg 17 is downwardly swung and'abuts the bar 20 so"as to hold the braces 11 and legs 8 against inward movement. When the rod 22 is engaged with the shoulder 23, the leg 17 cannot swing to an inoperative position and consequently the entire supporting structure will be effectively held in condition foruse.
It will be seen from the foregoing that while the invention is rather simple and in expensive, it willefiicient and reliable, forming a rigid structure when extended for use and permitting compact folding whenever desired.
Excellent resultsare obtainable from the details disclosed and they are therefore preferably followed; However, within the scope of the invention as claimed,variations may be made.
I claim: Y
1. In an ironing table, a board, means for supporting said board comprising a pair of supporting legs pivoted to one end of the board for upward folding, braces pivoted to said legs and. inclining therefrom to the board, means connectingthe upper ends of said braces to the board and permitting sliding of the braces in a declining away from the first 'named legs and pivoted to the board at a point between the upper ends ofsaid braces and said first named legs, said third leg also being upwardly foldable toward the board, stop means on said braces abutting the lower edge of said third-leg to prevent movement of said braces to their folded position until the third-1e is folded, and releasable means Tor norma y holding direction away. from the leg pivots when the legs are up .wardly folded, a third leg vertical lugs on the board, a
2. A structure as specified in claim 1; said connecting means comprising a bail having its ends bent laterally and passing throng the upper ends of said braces and then around the sides of the braces and a track comprising a bar extending longitudinally of and having its ends upwardly offset and secured to the board, said bail being slidably supported by said track.
rod is engaged and a guide on the third leg over the intermediate engaging portion of said brace rod. i
4 In an ironing table,
leg member .pivotally connected to the board a jacent one of its ends to fold up and under the. same,
s bent laterally, lugs a board, anupright d an inclined leg member pivoted to. the board in spaced relation to the upright leg the same direction as the latter, a brace member pivoted to upright leg member and crossmember and adapted to fold in ing the inclined leg member, a slidablw'con- 'nection between the brace member andithe boardto permit folding of-the brace and the-upright leg member, stop means on an intermedlate part of the brace member to engage an'intermediate part of the inclined leg member and limit its downward swingng movement, and a second brace member crossing the first naihed bracemember and havinga releasable engagement with the in operative position,
inclined leg member for locking the latter 5. In an irfining table, a board, a pair of air of. legs,
bracingmeans for said legs, a t ird leg pivr oted to the board and'a U-shaped brace rod for the third leg, the ends of said rod being bent laterally and passed through the lugs and the first named legs to pivot the latter to the former, and to pivotally mount said brace rod.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto affixed my signature. v CAL A. FQRNEY.
