SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Fatent N0. 598,7 61, dated February 8, 1898. Application filed August 19,1897. Serial No. 648,791. (No model.)
To ctZZ whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, NAOMI LUOINDA BECK- ETT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Port- Huron, in the county of St. Clair and State of Michigan, have invented a new and useful Ironing-Board, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to ironing-boards, and has for its object to provide a simple, strong, and efficient construction and arrangement of parts, including a main board or table and an auxiliary or bosom board, said parts being so connected as to enable them to be folded into compact form contiguous to an upright support or Wall when not in use.
Further objects and advantages of this invention will appear in the following description, and the novel features thereof will be particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of an ironing-board constructed in accordance with my invention, the parts being shown in operative position. Fig. 2 is a side view of the same, showing in full lines the parts in their operative positions and in'dotted lines the same in their folded positions.
Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in both figures of the drawings.
1 designates a main ironing board or table supported bya wallboard or bracket 2, adapted to be secured to a wall or any other suitable vertical support, said wall board or bracket carrying spacing-blocks 3, which are enlarged toward their lower ends, and the hinges 4 of the main board or table being secured to said blocks, respectively. The main board or table extends in rear of its hinges, as shown at 5, to extend under the abrupt or enlarged lower ends of the spacing-blocks, and said extension of the main board or table also bears terminally against the front face of the wall board or bracket 2, whereby in ironing contiguous to the outer or free end of said board any pressure toward the inner end of the board, causing a thrust of the board, is sustained by the contact of the inner end of the board with the wall board or bracket to relieve the hinges of strain. The main board or table is provided with a hingedlyconnected folding brace 6, adapted to bear against the Wall or other vertical support, which is shown at 7, at'its points of intersection with the floor. 'lhisbrace is adapted to fold parallel with the under surface of the main board or table when the parts are arranged in the inoperative position indicated in dotted lines in Fig. '2.
Foldably connected, as by means of hinges 8, to the upper edge of the wall board or bracket is a bosom board 9, also bearing terminally against the front surface of thewall board or bracket and provided with a hingedly-connected folding brace 10, which is adapted to bear terminally against the front surface of the wall board or bracket at its intersection with the main board or table when the latter is in its horizontal or operative position, as indicated in Fig. 1 and in full lines in Fig. 2.
From the above description it will be seen that when the parts are in their operative positions the bosom-board and main board or table, are approximately parallel and either may be used. If, however, it is desired to use the main board or table independently of the bosom-board, it is preferable to arrange the latter in its upright or folded position, (indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 2,) where it is held by any suitable securing device, such as a hook 11, preferablymounted upon the wall or vertical support and engaging an eye 12 on the edge of the bosom-board. Obviously the brace 10 folds parallel with the under or outer surface of the bosom-board when the latter is in its upright position. Suitable means, similar to those described in connection with the bosom-board, may be used for securing the main board or table in its upright or folded position, and in the construction illustrated said means consist of a hook 13 for engaging an eye 14 on the edge of the main board. 1
From the above description, taken in connection with the drawings, it will be seen that the object of the spacing blocks 3 is to arrange the hinges 0f the main board or table a sufficient distance from the plane of the wall board or bracket to allow for the folding of the bosom-board in rear of the main board, as shown clearly in dotted lines in Fig. 21. A
further functionof the spacing-blocks, however, is to give a firm bearing for the inner end of the main board or table and hold the same from vibration. Furthermore, the bearing of the broad inner end of the main board or table against the face of the wall board or bracket, in connection with the fact that the lower end of the brace 6 has a broad bearing against the support or wall at the point of its intersection with the floor, prevents lateral vibration of the outer or free end of the main board.
Various changes in the form, proportion, and the minor details of construction may be resorted to Without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of this invention.
Having described my invention what I claim is-- 1. The combination of a wall board or bracket adapted to be secured to a vertical wall or support, spacing-blocks secured to the exposed surface of the wall board or bracket and having abrupt lower ends arranged above the plane of the lower edge of the wall board or bracket, an ironing-board hingedly connected to said spacing-blocks, and projecting in rear of the pivot-points of its hinges to form an extension to bear upwardly against the abrupt lower ends of the spacing-blocks, and to bear terminally against the face of the wall board or bracket, and a brace flexibly connected to the ironing-board at an intermediate point and adapted to bear terminally against the support or wall at'its point of intersection with the floor, substantially as specified.
2. The combination of a wall board or bracket adapted to be secured to a vertical support or wall, spacing-blocks secured to the front surface of the wall board or bracket and terminating in abrupt lower ends above the plane of the lower edge of the wall board or bracket, said spacing-blocks being tapered toward their upper ends, a main board or table hingedly connected to the spacing-blocks and extending in rear of the pivot-points of its hinges to bear terminally against the face of the wall board or bracket below the plane of the abrupt lower ends of the spacing-blocks, means for supporting the outer end of the main board or table, an auxiliary or bosom board hinged to the wall board or bracket above the main board and between the spacing-blocks, and adapted to fold upwardly between the plane of the main board and the wall or support, and a brace hingedly connected to the auxiliary or bosom board and adapted to bear terminally against the front surface of the wall board or bracket at its point of intersection with the main board or table, substantially as specified.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
NAOMI LUOINDA BECKETT.
