IRONING-TABLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent no; 543,468, dated July so, 1895 Application 518a March so, 1895.

, I To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES T. CHASE, a citizen of the United States, residing at St. Louis, in the State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ironing-Tables; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of thev invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and I to use the same, reference being had to the ac? companying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

My invention relates tocertain new and use- '15 ful improvements in ironing-tables; and it consists in a certain novel construction and arrangement of parts, which will be fully described and claimed hereinafter.

Referring now to the accompanying draw- 2o ings, Figure 1 represents a perspective view of an ironing-table embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is an inverted plan View showing the supporting-legs folded against the underside of the ironing-table. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of an ironing-table embodyingmy invention,

showing the position the various parts will assume when the ironing-table is in use, the dotted lines indicating the position of the sup- 7 y, porting-legs when the ironing-table is not in I use. Fig. 4 is a detached perspective view of a supporting-frame to which the supportinglegs are pivoted, and Fig. 5 is a detached perspective view of the sliding-block-and a portion of the adjustable bar which is hinged thereto.

A represents the top of the ironing-table or ironing-board, which is constructed in the usual manner, being rounded off at each end, one of said ends being of greater width than 0 the other. 7

, B and B are supporting legs, which are pivotally secured to a supporting-frame C by means of a pin 0 g The supporting-frame C is curved inwardly at the center and hasformed thereon atthat point two lugs c and 0', through which the pin c passes.v The ends of the supportingframe C terminate in projections or lugs 0 and 0 by which means the ironing-table A is 5o brought into proper alignment with a project- Serial in). 543,894.

' ing ledge or table, to which it is desired to have said ironing-table secured.

D is a clamp interposed between vthe supporting-legs B and Band in like manner held 5 in place by means of the'pin 0 One end of said clamp D is adapted to engage the projecting ledge or table to which it is desired to secure the ironing-table, while the other is adapted to engage a screw E and nut e, the former passing through a hole d in one end of the clamp D and being secured to the ironing-table by small screws.

F is an adjustable bar, one end of which is hinged. to the ironing-board A by a bracket f, the other end being connected to a sliding block G by a pin g.

The sliding block G is free to' move backward and forward between the supportinglegs B and B, but is prevented from vbecoming disengaged from said supporting-legs. by a fixed block B which also serves as a spacing-block to keep the legs B and B the proper distance apart. The sliding block G has. formed upon the lower side the flanges g and I upon the upper side the teeth g and g, the latter engaging notches b bin the supportinglegs B and B, whereby the ironing-table may be adjusted to the required height.

When not in use the ironing-table can be folded compactly, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3. In doing this it is only necessary to raise the ironing-table slightly in order to disengage the teeth g from the notches b. The projecting flanges g on the lower side of the sliding block G, are then brought in contact with the supporting-legs B and B, and as the'sliding block G is moved forward to the left the supporting-legs and adjustable bar are compactly folded under the ironing-table and held in this position by a spring-catch H, which is se- 99 cured to the under side of the ironing-table.

- Having now described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-'-.-. p

j The combination of .the board A, a frame C 5 secured to theunder side of said board, lugs 0 ,0 projecting downwardly from the opposite ends of said frame C, pivot lugs cand 0, formed on said frame, a slotted supporting leg B, B, a clamping bar D, a pivot bolt c 100 spring catch H adapted to engage with and hold the leg B, B when the latter is folded against the under side of the board, substantially as specified. I

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

CHARLES T. CHASE.
