CLOTHES CATCHING ATTACHMENT FOR IRONING BOARDS Filed Feb. 5, 1949 INVENTOR. AL /CE L BLUME/VSH/EN AGENT Paltented Apr. 7, 1953 OFFICE CLOTHES CATCHI-NG ATTACHMENT FOR IRONING BOARDS Alice J. Biumenshien,Nationa1 city, Calif. Application February 5, 1949, Serial No. 74,833 z claims.' (C1. :is-111) My invention relates to a clothes catching attachment for ironing boards, and the objects of vmy invention are: 1
First, to provide a clothes catching attachment of this classl which collects large pieces of clothing and sheets, or other similar fabric articles, as they are ironed, and as they pass over the edge of the ironing board, whereby such articles do not fall upon the iloor and become soiled;
Second, to provide a clothes catching attachment for ironing boards of this class which may be projected from either side of the board for receiving clothes which are ironed, or for catching the extending ends of large pieces, such as sheets or the like, while the opposite end thereof is being ironed on the board;
Third, to provide a clothes catching attachment for ironing boards of this class which is readily and easily attached to the lower side of a conventional ironing board, and may be pro jected from either side thereof, as desired;
Fourth, to provide a clothes catching attachment for ironing boards of this class which greatly facilitates the handling of large garments or other articles during the ironing operations thereon;
Fifth, to provide a clothes catching attachment of this class which is very simple and easy to operate;
Sixth, to provide a clothes catching attachment of this class which may be used to receive a considerable variety of garments from the edge of the ironing board following the ironing operations thereon; and
Seventh, to provide a clothes catching attachment of this class which is very simple and economical of construction, eflicient in operation, and which will not readily deteriorate or get out of order.
With these and other objects in view, as will appear hereinafter, my invention consists of certain novel features of construction, combination and arrangements of parts and portions, as will be hereinafter described in detail, and particularly set forth in the appended claims, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the characters of reference thereon, forming a part of this application, in which:
Fig. 1 is a top or plan view of an ironing board, showing my clothes catching attachment in connection therewith, and illustrating by dash lines the varying position thereof relative to the ironing board; Fig. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view of the ironing board and attachment,
4taken from the line 2-2 of Fig. l; and Fig. 3v
3 and 4, attachment frame 5, and hamper 6' constitute the principal parts and portions of'my clothes catching attachment for ironing boards.
The ironing board I and legs 2 are conventional structures, common to various ironing boards now in existence. The rails 3 and 4 are fixed to the lower surface of the ironing board I and form tracks for the rectangular attachment frame 5, as shown best in Figs. 2 and 3 of the drawings. These rails 3 and 4 are preferably made of sheet metal or the like, and extend to a position near opposite sides of the ironing board I, and permit reciprocal lateral movement of the attachment frame 5 in both directions laterally of the ironing board I, so that the attachment frame 5 may be extended at either side of the ironing board I, as indicated by solid lines and by dash lines A in Fig. 1 of the drawings. Secured to the attachment frame 5 at two inner opposed faces of the longitudinal sides 5a and 5b is the hamper 6, which is preferably made of flexible fabric material in the U-shaped loop, when in use, as shown best in Fig. 3 of the drawings. 'I'he opposite sides of this hamper 6 are positioned inwardly of the inner edges 3a and 4a. of the rails 3 and 4, so that the hamper 6 does not interefere with the reciprocal travel of the attachment frame 5 into its extended position laterally of either longitudinal edge of the ironing board I.
The operation of my clothes catching attachment for ironing boards is substantially as follows:
When a person is ironing sheets or large garments on the upper surface of the ironing board I, there is not suilicient room thereon for the support of said garments after portions thereof have been ironed, and at all times portions of such large garments and sheets hang over either one side or the other of the ironing board. Thus, when my attachment for catching clothes is employed in connection with a conventional ironing board, the ironed portion of the sheet or large garment is permitted to pass over the side of the ironing board at its one edge and downwardly into the hamper 6, which is maintained in open position by the extended frame 5, sup- 3 ported on the rails 3 and 4, secured to the lower surface of the board I. As the sheet or large garment gravitates to the bottom 6a, of the hamper 6, it is thereby supported and prevented from contacting the oor and becoming soiled. When the ironing board is not in use, the attachment frame 5, together with the hamper 6 is slidably moved to a position directly coinciding with thev lower side of the ironingA board I, out of the way, so that the ironing board I may be folded up in the conventional manner and stored as desired. It will be noted that the attachment frame 5, together with the hamper 6, may be readily slidably moved longitudinally of the rails 3 and 4, laterally of the ironing board I, for eX- tension on either side thereof, as indicated byv solid lines and by dash lines A, in Fig. l of the drawings.
Though I have shown and described a particular construction, combination and arrangement of parts and portions, I do not Wish to be limited to this particular construction, combinationY and arrangement, but desire to include in thescope of my invention the constructiomcombinationV and arrangement substantially as set forth in the appended claims.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. In a clothes catching attachment for ironing boards of the class described, the combination of an ironing board, rails secured to the lower surface thereof in spaced relation to each other and extending substantially the full width of said ironing board, an open substantially rigid rectangular attachment frame being substantially equal in width to the width of said ironing board slidably engaging said rails and movable into extendable position at either side of said board, and a hamper of ilexible material attached to the longitudinal sides of said frame, said hamper being open at the top and when in extended position beyond either side of said board providing means for catching clothing or supporting the same.
2. In a clothes catching attachment for ironing boards of the class described the combination of an ironing board, rails secured vto the lower surface thereof in spaced relation to each other, and extending substantially the full width of said ironing board, and spaced apart a distance substantially equal to the ironing areaJ of the board, an open substantially rigid rectangular attachment frame being substantially equal in width to the Width of said ironing board, slidably engaging said rails and movable into extendable position at either side of said board, and a hamper of flexible material attached to the longitudinal sides of said frame, said hamper being open beyond the edge extremities of said board for catching clothing or supporting the same adjacent thereto when said frame is in extended position. l
