To (0M wlrmn it may concern.-
Be it known that 1, JAMES A. HITTED, a citizen of the United States, residing at Durham, in the county of Durham and State of North Carolina, have invented new and useful Improvements in Ironing-Tables, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to that class of ironing boards or tables comprising a board proper or ironing-surface and folding supports connected therewith.
The object of the invention is to provide an article of this class possessing rigidity, lightness, and portability when extended or set up for use, the supports as a whole being constructed to fold into compact form against the board for storage, thus saving space in a household.
My invention is embodied in a structure having an elongated stand or base, supports hinged to each end of the base and carrying sleeves to embrace rigid brackets rising from the base, and slotted links connecting the board proper with one of the hinged standards.
The invention embraces details of construction and particular parts, which will be described in detail in this specification.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view, in its folded condition, of an ironing-table embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a similar view of the table in its extended condition ready for use. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section of the same. Fig. 4c is a detail, on larger scale, showing the base, one of the end brackets, a hinged support, and the sleeve to lock the support to the bracket and base. Fig. 5 is a perspective View of one of the rigid brackets.
The base may be of any suitable construction which includes a rigid longitudinal stretcher or reach A of a length approximately that of the ironing board or table proper and transverse extensions A at each end to give lateral stability to the structure. As here shown, the transverse extensions A of the base are provided at their ends with feet a; but this is simply for convenience in construction and use and not essential.
Hinged at the ends of the base and midway between the ends of the transverse extensions A are standards B B, the free ends of which are preferably provided with narrow platforms or rests b b, the upper surfaces of which are in a plane parallel with the base when the standards are unfolded or in vertical position to afford a substantial rest for the board proper, 1. Opposite the lower or hinged end of these standards U-shaped brackets O are rigidly secured to the transverse extensions A, their position being such, as shown, that when the standards are raised to a vertical position to support the boards 1 they will be received snugly within the brackets O. Mounted upon each standard is a sleeve B adapted to slide longitudinally thereon and preferably provided with a shank V, which passes through and is guided by a loop 6 the upper or outer end of which shank terminates in a thumb-piece If for manipulation of the sleeve. These sleeves B are designed to embrace the standards and rigid brackets, thus locking the standards firmly in vertical position in the base, or to be moved upward, releasing the standards from the brackets that they may be folded upon the base, as in Fig. 1.
The board 1 may be of any preferred size or shape, the conventional skirt-board being shown, and is provided at the narrower end on its under side with a keeper 2, designed to receive the platform or rest 6 at the free end of standard B to afford a firm connection at this point when the device is in a position for use. Near the other end of the board are pivoted longitudinally-slotted links D, engaging threaded studs 6, projecting one from each end of the platform or rest Z) at the free end of the standard B. The links D and studs 6 are maintained in engagement by means of thumb-nuts b, threaded onto the studs, these nuts being adapted to clamp the links and rest 6 of the standard B together when the parts are in the position shown in Fig. 2, thus affording a rigid connection between the board at this end and the standard and base. In a vertical plane with the pivots (Z of links D sockets E are secured to that one of the transverse extensions A carrying the standard B to receive the ends of the links D when the device is in position for use, as in Fig. 2.
The device being folded as in Fig. 1, the straps 3 are released and the narrow end of the board raised to permit the standard B to be elevated to its vertical position and locked to the bracket C by means of the sleeve B". The other end of the board 1 is then raised, the nuts Z) first being loosened and the standard B elevated and locked to its bracket in like manner, as already described with relation to standard B. Prior to locking the standard to the bracket the ends of links D are inserted in the sockets E and the thumbnuts .7) are finally turned home to clamp the links to the standard, thus aifording a connection between the board and base that will Withstand the lateral, longitudinal, and vertical strains put upon the board in the operation of ironing.
The connection between the upper end of standard B and the narrow end of the board is such that the latter may be raised to slip a skirt over the board.
The board is provided With a metal iron rest or holder 4, comprising legs .having apertured feet to receive attaching-screws, and a body having flanged sides to retain the iron when placed therein.
I claim 1. In an ironing-table, in combination, a board, a rigid base, standards hinged thereto having rests at their free ends, means to lock the standards at right angles to the base, and slotted links connecting the board at one end to the ends of the rest of one of the standards.
2. In an ironing-table, in combination, a board, a base having a rigid bracket at each end, standards hinged to the base adjacent to the brackets, sleeves mounted to slide on the standards and embrace the brackets, and links for connecting one end of the board to one of the standards.
3. In an ironing-table, in combination, a board, a base having a rigid bracket at each end, standards hinged to the base adjacent to the brackets, sleeves carried by the standards and adapted to embrace the brackets, sockets secured to the base at one end, slotted links pivoted to the board above the sockets, threaded studs carried at the free end of the standard, engaging the slots of the links, and nuts engaging said studs.
4. In an ironing-table, in combination, a board, a base having rigid brackets at the ends,'standards hinged adjacent to the brackets and provided at top with rests, sleeves slidingly mounted on the standards and adapted to embrace the brackets, slotted links connecting one end of the board with the rest carried by the standard at that end, and a keeper at the other end of the board to engage the rest of the other standard.
In testimony whereof I aiiix my signature in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
