1 Claim. l
This invention relates to improvements in attachments for ironing boards, and more particularly to novel attachments for ironing boards of a detachable type.
An object of the invention is to provide devices of the type which may be attached to an ironing board for the purpose of receiving cumbersome fabrics in the process of ironing the same and obviating the necessity of spreading protective materials such as newspapers under the ironing board during the ironing operation to prevent vsoiling of the goods being ironed.
Another object of the invention is to provide devices of the type which may be utilized by an ironer and which are disposed in a position under the ironing board which will not interfere with the use of the same by the ironer.
Other and further obj ects of the invention will appear as the descrip-tion proceeds, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, in which- Fig. 1 is a side view in elevation of an ironing board equipped with this invention.
Fig. 2 is an end view in elevation partially broken away of the same.
Fig. 3 is a. plan view of the device.
Fig. 4 is a view in perspective of one of the subjoined attachment plates.
Fig. 5 is an exploded view of one of the trays and its hanger attachments and a fragmentary portion of the ironing board all in perspective.
Referring more particularly to the drawing, the numeral I represents the ironing board proper supported by the conventional pivoted legs II and I2, I3 and I4. The usual brace members I and I6 are provided. A pair of level, shallow trays I'I and I8 are provided to receive fabrics in the process of ironing. The tray II is relatively narrow and has side walls I9 and 28 and the end walls 2l and 22. The tray I'I is intended for use on the ironers side of the ironing board l0 and is supported in a relatively high position so as to Ibe out of the way of the ironer, by means of the brackets 23 and 24. The bracket 23 has an upperv horizontal portion 25 integral with a twisted strap portion 28 depending therefrom and terminating at its lower end in a second horizontal portion 21 adapted as a rest for the tray II. The bracket 24 has an upper horizontal strap portion 28 integral with a depending angula'rly disposed arm 29 with an opposed angularly dis# posed strap member 3U fixed thereto by means 3 I. The strap member l3l) and the angularly disposed portion 2S both have vertically downwardly disposed integral portions 32 and 33' pivoted as at 34 to brackets 35 and 36 xed by means 3l to the end Wall 22 of the tray I'I. The horizontal members 25 and 28 are adapted for insertion into and suspension from the cleats 38 affixed to the undersides of the plates 39 and 40 subjoined edgedly of the ironing board I0. The relatively larger tray I8 has the shallow end walls 4I and 42 and the similar side walls 43 and 44. A pair of relatively longer brackets 45 and 46 suspend the tray I8 from the cleats 38 in the plates 47 and 48 edgedly subjoined to the board Ill. The bracket 45 has an upper horizontal portion 49 adapted for engagement in the cleats 38 and a Ilower horizontal portion 50 adapted as a rest for the tray I8 connected by a twisted integral strap portion 5I, the twisted construction adding rigidity to said brackets. The bracket 48 has an upper horizontal portion 52 adapted for engagement in the cleats 38, an integral angularly disposed portion 53 with an opposed strap portion 54 affixed at 55 thereabove. The members 53 and 54 have vertically downwardly disposed integral portions 56 and 5'I pivoted as at 58 to the brackets 59 and 60 secured by means 6I to the end wall 42 of the tray I8.
In use, the end brackets 24 and 46 may be folded down at their pivot points into their respective trays for storage, and the remaining brackets 23 and 45 may be merely deposited in their respective trays. During an ironing operation the trays may be suspended from the cleats 38 and the items to be ironed may be temporarily deposited in the relatively narrow tray Il. As the ironing operation progresses, the items in process of ironing will be moved across the board III into the lower and larger tray I8 where they will be secure against touching the floor and consequent soiling thereof.
It Will be understood that the device is capable or many modications in structure and design, without departing from the spirit of the invention, within the scope of the appended claim.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed and desired to be secured by Letters Patent of the United States, is:
In combination with an ironing board, a pair of shallow trays one for suspension under each side of said board, a bracket for each tray including a horizontal strap rest for freely transversely supporting said tray adjacent one end thereof, and a second bracket for each tray including a depending bifurcated strap element, twisted vertical straps xed to the other end of said tray and projecting upwardly therefrom, plvot means `connecting said bifurcated element and said vertical straps whereby said bifurcated element will pivotabout a horizontal axis transversely above the end of said tray to fold said bracket downwardly thereagainst, a, horizontal strap member integral with the upper end of ea'ch bracket, and means fixed to the under side of said ironing board having horizontally and transversely aligned apertures to receive and retain the upper horizontal strap members on said brackets.
