LYDIA FAIRWEATHEB, OF RICHMOND HILL, NEW YORK.
COMBINED CLOTHES-HORSE AND lRONlNG-BOARD.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 408,471, dated August 6, 1889.
Applicatitn filed April 24:, 1889- Serial No. 308,437- (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, LYDIA FAIRWEATHER, of Richmond Hill, in the county of Queens and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Combined Clothes-Horse and Ironing-Board, of which the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription.
The object of the invention is to provide a new and improved combined clothes-horse and ironing-board, which is very simple and durable in construction, can be conveniently set up in any desired place, and folded up when not in use, so as to be out of the way.
The invention consists of certain parts and details and combinations of the same, as will be fully described hereinafter, and then pointed out in the claims.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the improvement as set'up ready for use. Fig. 2 is a front view of the same as folded up, and Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the same.
The combined clothes-horse and ironingboard A is provided with a main frame B, preferably fastened by suitable means to-a wall. The frame B is provided with standards O and O, connected at the top by a crossbeam D, near the middle by a cross-beam E, and near the bottom by a cross-beam F. On the standards 0 and O, between the crossbeams D and E, are pivoted the clothes-frames G and G, each made of two parallel standards G and G connected with each other by rods G on which the clothes are hung when the said frames are swung open, as shown in Fig. 1.
0n the cross-beam E are secured the notched brackets H, in which fit pins 1, projecting from the wide end of the ironing-board J, of suitable size and the usual form. On the outer end of the ironing-board J, on the underside, are formed dovetailed cleats K, extending transversely, in which is mounted to slide a dovetail L, on which is hinged the leg N,provided on its lower end with a foot 0, hinged to the said leg N. The foot 0 can be folded up against the leg N, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, or set at right angles to the leg N, as shown in Fig. l.
On the lower cross-beam F are secured the notched brackets P, adapted to be engaged by the pins I on the ironing-board J when the latter is to be folded up against the frame B, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3.
On the upper cross-beam D is pivoted a button Q, for securely locking the ironingboard J in place on the frame B when the device is not in use, and as illustrated in Figs. 2 and 3. On the cross-beam E, under the brackets H, is secured a cleat E, on which rests the inner end of the ironing-board J when in use. This takes off all strain of the ironing-board on the brackets H.
The operation is as follows: The frame B is preferably secured to the wall of a room,with the standards O and O resting on the floor. When the ironing-board J is to be used, its pins I are placed in the notches of the brackets H, and then the ironing-board J is extended horizontally, the leg N being swung down into a vertical position to rest on the floor of the room. The foot 0 is set at right angles to the leg, so as to give the leg additional support. The frames G and G can now be swung open and clothes hung on them, after being ironed on the board J. The leg Ncan be temporarily removed in order to pass articles over the ironing-board J, after which the leg is again put in place and the ironing of the article can proceed in the usual manner.
WVhen the device is not to be used, the empty frames G and G are moved in ward into the position shown in Figs. 2 and 3,and then the ironing-board J is disconnected from the brackets H, after which the pins I are illserted .in the notches in the brackets P, and the ironing-board is swung into a vertical position against the fronts of the frames G and G. The upper end of the ironing-board J is then locked in place by the button Q, and the leg N, on account of being hinged to the dovetail L, swings downward into a vertical position and rests on the back of the ironingboard J, the foot 0 having been previously folded against the leg N. Thus it will be seen that the entire device is very simple in construction, and can be readily set up for use or folded up, so as to be out of the way.
Having thus described my invention, What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. A combined clothes-horse and ironingboard comprising a main frame provided with upper and lower brackets, clothes-frames hinged on the said main frame, and an ironin g-board having pins at its inner end adapted to be hooked on the upper and lower brackets and provided with a leg, substantially as shown and described.
2. A combined clothes-horse and ironingboard comprising a main frame, an ironingboard hooked at one end to the said main frame and provided at its outer end with dovetailed cleats, a dovetail held to slide in the said cleats, a leg pivoted on the said dovetail, and a foot hinged on the lower end of the said leg, substantially as shown and described.
3. A combined clothes-horse and ironingboard comprising amain frame provided with two sets of brackets, clothes-frames hinged on the said main frame, an ironing-board provided with pins adapted to engage either set of brackets, and a leg held removably on the of brackets, a leg held removably on the outer end of the said ironing-board, and a button held on the said main frame to lock the said clothes-frames and ironing-board in place, substantially as shown and described. 40
