IMPROVEMENT IN lRONlNG-TABLES.

Speciication forming part of Letters Patent No. 192,230, dated June 19,1877 application led June 1. 1877.

lTo all whom it may concern Beit known that 1, GIACOMO CHELINI, of

' the city of Washington, in the county oi Washington and District of Columbia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ironing-Tables, of which the follow-l the invention consists in a frame provided with hinged legsand a removable and adjustable ironing-board in combination with a stop or catch to lock the board to the frame, the legs of the vsaid frame being adapted to be folded within the frame, and the said frame, and its board and legs, being then capable of sliding beneath a table-top when not in use, and of being drawn from beneath said table-top outwardly beyond the table for use.

In the drawings illustrating my invention, Figure lis a perspective view; Fig. 2, a longitudinal section, and Fig. 3 a transverse section on linea .c of Fig. 2, the parts in the several figures being in position for 1180.

To an ordinary table, A, beneath its top, I apply, for instance, longitudinally thereof, rails B, and in the end of the table, in line with these rails, I make an opening, D. Near this opening, or at that end of the rails, is a stop-bar, C, arranged between the rails, the object of which will presently appear.

E is a frame, composed of longitudinal bars e and transverse connections d c F. This frame is arranged to slide in and 4out of the opening D, upon the rails B, and its end cross-head F abuts against the stop C so as to prevent the frame being drawn entirely -away from or out of the table. This frame is provided at its outer end with legs G, hinged thereto, and capable ot" being folded within it, so as to be parallel and ilush therewith, and to be let down so as to serve as supports for thetable, the feature of folding :within the frame being given the legs in order that they, with the frame, may be slid beneath the table, and thus be out of sight when not in use.

H is a block, sliding in grooves a in the inner end of the rails e, and provided with pins b, extending vertically from its upper 4 surface. V

J is a shirtbosom or other ironingboard, having in either end holes, whereby said board may be attached to the pins b. By having carrier H adjustable in the fraie`E`isfthat l the board may be drawn beyond such frame as will be necessary in ironing skirts, 8vo., in order to avoid the legs G. The board is shown so extended in Figs. land 2. Y

The board J is provided with holes b b at both ends for engaging with the carrier H, so as to be reversible, in order that either end may be used, where one end is broader than the other.

The catch K may be hinged to the table, and be capable of being turned so as to project over the board, as in Figs. l and 2, to hold it upon the frame. This catch, at the saine time, prevents the longitudinal movement of the frame. y

Having thus described my invention, what l claim is i l. The combination ot' a sliding frame E, independently-sliding carrier H, and board J, with table A, or other lsuitable support, substantially as and for the purpose described.

2. Tlie combination of the sliding frame E, independently-sliding carrier H, and reversible hoard J, having perforations at both ends for engaging with studs upon said carrier, substantially as described.

3. The combination of the sliding frame E, independently-sliding carrier H, and reversible board J, withtable A, having the stop
