JOHN G. NEAR, OF CATO, NEW YORK.

IRONING-IBOARD.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 354,566, dated December 21, 1886.

Application filed April 7, 1886. Serial .No. 198,137. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN C. NEAR, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cato, in the county of Cayuga, State of New York, have inventedccrtain new and useful Improvements in Ironing-Boards, of which the following is aspecification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to improvements in that class of devices known as ironingboards and it consists in the novel construction and arrangenient of devices, all as will be hereinafter fully explained and particularly pointed out in the appended claim.

The annexed drawings, to which reference is made, fully illustrate my invention, in which- Figure 1 represents a side view of my device ready for use. Fig. 2 is an under side view of the board detached from the support or legs, and Fig. 3 is a face view of the legs or support folded and upon the wall.

Referring by letter to the accompanying drawings, A designates the ironing-board, of the usual tapering form, and provided on its under side with a transverse block, at, having a slot, I), and near one end thereof is a block, 0, provided with a depression, d, by means of which the board is hung on a nail in the wall when said board is detached from the legs. A perforation, e, is made in the board, through which the shank f of the eyebolt 9 passes, and is screwed into a plate or iron rest, h, on top of the board, thus permitting the rest to remain always with the board. At the same time said rest can be unscrewed therefrom, if desired.

B indicates the main support or leg of the device, having the feet a, and at its upper end a flat head, 12, which engages the slot in the blockc of the board, and this cross-head is further provided with two arms, 0 0, between which is pivoted the oblique support or leg 0, which is provided with a rod or brace, d, that is connected to an eyebolt, e, on the leg,

while the hooked end f engages an eye, 9', of

a bolt, h, on the main leg or support. A brace-rod, i, is connected to the eyebolt g. The opposite free end has a hook, i, that enters a perforation in the main leg, as shown in the drawings.

It will be seen that articles can be ironed on this board without changing its position, and that the board and support can be quickly detached from one another and readily hung separately upon nails driven in the wall,thus being out of the way. At the same time it serves a purpose for shipping, as a great many can be stored in a small space, and the brace-rod remains with each piece to which it is pivoted, which allows it to fold parallel with the leg and the rod 6 with the board.

Having described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters-Patent, 1s-

In an ironing-table, thecombination, with the board A, provided with the transverse slotted block a on its under side, and with an eyebolt, g, to which the iron-rest is attached, of the main support B, having its upper end adapted to engage the slot in the block a, the oblique leg 0, pivoted to support 13, and the brace-rods d and z, secured, respectively, to the oblique leg and the eyebolt g, and engaging the main support, all substantially as described and shown.

In testimony whereofI affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
