BENJAMIN MCCLELLAN WRIGHT, OF COLUMBUS, OHIO.
FOLDING IRONING-BOARD.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 612,083, dated October 11, 1898.
' Application filed November 1, 1897. Serial No- '7,l)70. (N0 model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, BENJAMIN MGCLELLAN WRIGHT, a citizen of the United States, resid ing at Columbus, in the county of Franklin and State of Ohio,'have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Folding Ironing- Boards; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
My invention relates to ironing-boards of that class which are supported when in use by suitable braced legs which are adapted to be folded against the board when not in use; and it consists in the novel construction and arrangement of the several parts, as will be hereinafter more fully described, and particularly set forth in the claims.
The objects of the invention are to produce a cheap, efficient, and durable ironing board or table that may be firmly supported from the floor without the use of external bracing or support; that will. afford a free end, unobstructed by braces 0r supports, to receive garments of any description and permit the same to be properly ironed without being folded or wrinkled during the process of ironing, and that will fold up compactly and occupy but little space when not in use. These objects are attained by means of the device illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the board or table properly set up for use; Fig. 2, a
bottom plan View showing the supports and braces in folded position, and Fig. 3 a perspective view of the same.
Referring to the several views, the numeral 1 indicates the ironing-board proper, which may be of any desired shape, provided near one end with rear legs 2 2 and a front leg 3,
by means of which the board is to be supported for use. The legs are pivotally connected to the under side of the board in any suitable manner, but I prefer to hinge them to a cross bar or plate 41, secured to the board. Each rear leg is provided with a perforated strap 5, and said leg is hinged to a perforated ear 6, projecting from the cross-bar 4. The front leg is preferably provided at opposite sides with a perforated strap 7 and is hinged to aperforated double ear 8, also projecting from said cross-bar. The outer ends of each of the straps 5 terminate in inclined shoulders 9, which abut against the under side of the cross bar or plate 4 when set up for use, and thereby hold the legs at the proper angle or inclination. The rear legs are firmly held apart in extended position by a jointed brace 10, the outer ends of said brace being pivoted to said legs, so as to permit the brace to assume a partially-folded position when the legs are folded up against the under side of the board.
The numeral 11 indicates a brace-rod which is hinged at one end to an car 12, secured to the under side of the board, at its rear end. This rod at its other end is provided with a cross-bar or T-head 13, which operates on the inner side of a slotted angular bracket 14, secured to the outer end of the front leg. The bracket 14: is provided at its inner angle with a recess 15, into which the cross-bar 13 sets when the board is set up for use, and thus firmly braces the front leg and holds it rigidly in its extended position, as shown in Fig. 1. When the legs are to be folded against the board, the cross-bar 13 is removed from the recess, the slot in the bracket 14 permitting said bar to assume the position in Fig. 3, which allows of the ready folding of the front leg.
When the board or table is not in use, the legs and braces are folded in the position shown in Figs. 2 and 3, and as the parts fold close againstthe board proper it will be noted that they will not materially increase the thickness of the board, so that it may behung up or set against the wall, occupying but little space. V
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- 1. In an ironing board or table, the combination with the board proper, of the front and rear legs hinged to the under side of said board, the jointed brace holding the rear legs in proper extended'position, and the T -l1ead brace-rod hingedto the rear end of the board and loosely connected to the outer end of the front leg, whereby said leg is firmly braced and held in its extended position.
2. In an ironing board or table, the combi ment of said legs, a jointed brace holding the nation with the board proper, of the front of the front leg, in which said T-head oper- 10 and rear legs hinged to the under side of said ates to hold said leg in rigid position.
board, the rear legs provided with inclined In testimony whereof I affix my signature shoulders adapted to limit the outward movein the presence of two witnesses.
