Abstract
Description
- I. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates generally to an ironing board assembly which is mountable to a door.
- II. Descriptive of Material Art
- Ironing boards have long been used for ironing clothes. While many of the previously known ironing boards are self supporting, a number of the previously known ironing boards are mounted to one side of a door. These door mounted ironing boards, furthermore, are typically pivotally mounted to the door between a first or operational position in which the ironing board extends laterally outwardly from the door and in a generally horizontal plane, and a second or storage position in which the ironing board extends vertically and closely adjacent the door.
- These previously known door mounted ironing boards, however, have not proven wholly satisfactory in operation. One disadvantage of these previously known door mounted ironing boards is that they were relatively difficult to pivot between the first or operational position and the second or storage position.
- A still further disadvantage of these previously known door mounted ironing boards is that such ironing board assemblies fail to include appropriate latches for locking the ironing board in both the first and second position. As such, these previously known ironing board assemblies were somewhat unstable in use.
- A still further disadvantage of the previously known ironing boards is that such ironing boards were unable to accommodate doors of different heights and widths. As such, it was oftentimes necessary to purchase different ironing board assemblies for doors having different heights.
- A still further disadvantage of these previously known ironing boards is that, when collapsed to their storage position, the bottom of the ironing board faced outwardly from the door. As such, it presented an unsightly appearance.
- The present invention provides an ironing board assembly for use with a door which overcomes the above-mentioned disadvantages of the previously known ironing board assemblies.
- In brief, the ironing board assembly of the present invention comprises an elongated ironing board dimensioned to support clothes for ironing. The ironing board is preferably made of a flame-resistant material.
- An elongated ironing board support has an upper end adapted to be attached to the top of a door so that the ironing board support extends vertically downwardly along and closely adjacent one side of the door.
- One end of the ironing board is both pivotally and slidably attached to a lower end of the ironing board support so that the ironing board support is movable between a first and a second position. In its first position, the ironing board extends laterally outwardly from the door so that clothes may be ironed. Conversely, with the ironing board in its second position, the ironing board pivots vertically upwardly and closely adjacent both the ironing board support and the door for storage and so that the top of the ironing board faces outwardly from the door.
- In order to enhance the rigidity of the ironing board when in its first or operational position, preferably a support leg is pivotally attached to the bottom of the ironing board adjacent its other end. The length of the support leg is adjustable in order to accommodate the ironing board at different heights. Similarly, the ironing board support is also adjustable in order to accommodate doors of different heights and different widths.
- A better understanding of the present invention will be had upon reference to the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawing, wherein like reference characters refer to like parts throughout the several views, and in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating a preferred embodiment of the present invention; -
FIG. 2 is a bottom perspective view illustrating a preferred embodiment of the present invention; -
FIG. 3 is a rear elevational view illustrating a preferred embodiment of the present invention; -
FIG. 4 is an exploded view of a preferred embodiment of the present invention; -
FIG. 5 is a fragmentary view illustrating a preferred embodiment for the latching system of the present invention; -
FIG. 6 is a plan view illustrating the ironing board in a storage position; -
FIG. 7 is a side view illustrating the ironing board in the storage position; and -
FIG. 8 is a side view illustrating the movement of the ironing board from its operational position to its storage position. - With reference first to
FIGS. 1-4 , a preferred embodiment of anironing board assembly 10 according to the present invention is illustrated. Theironing board assembly 10 is intended for use with a door 12 (FIG. 1 ) having atop 13. - Still referring to
FIGS. 1-4 , theironing board assembly 10 includes aframe 15 made of a rigid material, such as metal. Theframe 15 supports and is attached to anelongated ironing board 14 having an upperplanar surface 16 and which is dimensioned to support clothes or other items to be ironed. Preferably, theironing board cover 14 is made of a fire-resistant material. - An elongated
ironing board support 18 is preferably formed from twoelongated rails 20 which are spaced apart and parallel to each other. Abracket 22 is secured to the upper end of eachrail 20 while across rail 24 secures the bottom ends of therails 20 together. - As best shown in
FIG. 3 , eachbracket 22 is generally U shaped and dimensioned to fit over thetop 13 of the door 12 (FIG. 1 ). At least oneleg 24 of eachbracket 22 is resilient so that, with thebrackets 22 positioned over the top of thedoor 12 as shown inFIG. 1 , thebrackets 22 resiliently engage opposite sides of thedoor 12 adjacent its top, and hold therails 20 generally flat against one side of thedoor 12 and so that therails 20 extend generally vertically. Theresilient leg 24 of thebrackets 22 enable thebrackets 22 to accommodate doors of different thicknesses, at least within a preset range. - With reference now to
FIGS. 4 and 5 anelongated rod 30 is mounted to oneend 32 of theironing board frame 15 so that each end of therod 30 protrudes laterally outwardly from theframe 15. These outwardly protruding ends of therod 30form pivot pins 34 for theironing board 16. - As best shown in
FIG. 5 , anelongated channel member 38 is mounted to eachrail 20 so that the channels formed by thechannel members 38 face each other. Aslide block 36 having arecess 37 is then slidably mounted in eachchannel member 38. Thepivot pins 34 are positioned within therecesses 32 so that theend 32 of theironing board 16 andslide blocks 36 move in unison with each other. - Still referring to
FIG. 5 , afirst latch 40 selectively engages and retains theslide block 36 adjacent oneend 39 of thechannel member 38. Similarly, asecond latch 42 also selectively engages theblock 36 and retains theblock 36 adjacent theopposite end 41 of thechannel member 38. Eachlatch latch handles - Still referring to
FIG. 5 , acompression spring 44 is disposed around eachpin 34 and compressed in between theslide block 36 and theironing board frame 15. Thecompression springs 44 effectively dampen any play between theironing board frame 15 and thesupport 18 thus enhancing the rigidity of theironing board 16. - As best shown in
FIG. 2 , a pair ofbottom struts 60 are both pivotally secured at one end to therails 20 adjacent the bottom of theironing board support 18 and pivotally secured at theirother end 62 to theironing board frame 15. Thesestruts 60 thus add rigidity to theframe 15 when theironing board 16 is in its operational position for ironing. - For added rigidity, a
leg 64 has itsupper end 66 pivotally mounted to theironing board frame 15. Afoot 68 is secured to the bottom of theleg 64 for engaging the ground. Theleg 64 thus adds additional rigidity and support to theironing board 16. - Preferably, the
leg 64 is formed from twotelescoping tubes leg 70. Acam lock 74 or a twist lock compresses theouter tube 70 against theinner tube 72 when theleg tubes tubes - Still referring to
FIG. 2 , akeeper 80 is mounted to the bottom of the ironingboard 14. Thiskeeper 80 is adapted to receive theleg 64 when the leg is pivoted upwardly and against the bottom of the ironingboard 16 when storage of the ironingboard 14 is desired. - With reference now particularly to
FIGS. 6-8 , when use of the ironingboard 14 is desired, the ironingboard 14 is movable to a first or operational position, illustrated in solid line inFIG. 8 , in which theironing board 14 extends laterally outwardly from thesupport 18 and in a generally horizontal plane. In this position, the ironingboard leg 64, if present, is pivoted downwardly so that thefoot 68 engages the ground to provide additional support for the ironingboard 14. Additionally, in its first or operational position, thefirst latch 40 engages theslide block 36 in order to firmly, but releasably, hold theironing board 14 in its first position. - When desired, the ironing
board 14 can be moved to its second or storage position as illustrated inFIGS. 7 and 8 . In its storage position, theleg 68 is pivoted up against the bottom of the ironingboard 14 and into thekeeper 80. The slide blocks 36 are then moved to the opposite or upper end of thechannel members 38 until the ironingboard 16 is positioned closely adjacent therails 20 and so that the ironingboard 16 lies in a generally vertical plane with the top 16 of the ironing board facing outwardly from thedoor 12. At this time, thelatches 42 engage the slide blocks 36 and retain theironing board 16 in its second or storage position. Furthermore, since the top 16 of the ironingboard 14 faces outwardly from thedoor 12, the comparatively unsightly bottom of the ironingboard 14 is concealed - With reference now particularly to
FIG. 4 , the effective length of eachrail 20 is also preferably adjustable in order to accommodate doors 12 (FIG. 1 ) of different heights. Preferably, the upper end of eachrail 20 includes twotelescoping tubes FIG. 4 , the holes are formed in thetube 92. - At least one
hole 96 is formed through theother tube 90. Thus, with thetubes hole 96, apin 98 is insertable through the registering holes to lock thetubes rails 20 and simultaneously altering the height of the ironingboard 16 when the ironingboard 16 is in its first or operational position. - With reference now particularly to
FIG. 3 , one or more cross rails 100 extend across and are attached to therails 20 adjacent their upper end. These cross rails 100 are preferably dimensioned to receive and support a caddy orcontainer 102. Thecontainer 102 may be used to contain supplies used for ironing clothes and other items such as ironing sprays, the iron itself, etc. - From the foregoing, it can be seen that the present invention provides a simple and yet highly effective folding ironing board for use with a door. Having described our invention, however, many modifications thereto will become apparent to those skilled in the art to which it pertains without deviation from the spirit of the invention as defined by the scope of the appended claims.
