Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 15, 1908.

1903. Serial No. 437,330.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, GEORGE W. BITTLE and (humans N. BITTLE, citizens of the United States, residing at Clarkston, in the county of .Asotin, State of Washington, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in ironing-Boards; and we 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 a pcrtains to make and use the same.

This invention has relation to a new useful improvement in ironing boards.

The ob ect of our invention is to provide a new and simple ironing board to be removnbly secured to the edge of a table b means of clamping standard which looks t 1e board against longitudinal or lateral displacement, the board being provided with a detachable sleeve board and a shelf adopted to hold the 'ron as will be described more fully hereinafter.

in the accompanying drawirws we have shown in Figure 1 an elevation of an ironing board embodying our invention disclosing the same as secured to the edge of the table. Fig. 2 shows an enlarged detached detail sec tionol view of ironing board. Fig. 3 shows on end view of the ironing board. Fig. 4 shows a top View of the ironing board, and Fig. is s top view of the sleeve board.

.ln carrying out the object of our invention and I we use a board 1 provided at the base or flat end with a slot or opening 2. Skirting the edge of this slot are the two cleats 4, 4 which extend along the ironing board 1 a considerable distance as is shown in Fig. 1 to form a brace for said board. These cleats are perforated and provided with the bolt 5. As shown in Fig. 1 the cleats 4'pr0ject beyond the end of thcironing board. Pivotally held within the slot 2 and between the cleats 4 is the supporting standard 6 pivotally carried by the pin 5 in the manner disclosed in Fig. 1. At its u per vided with t e neck 7 forming a reduced exend this standard is pro tension adjacent to which are formed the supporting shoulders 8. Secured to the u or end of the standard 6 and immediate above the shoulders 8 is the shelf 1d to which shelf is fixed the support 13 adopted to receive the sod lIOIlS.

we use the sleeve board 11 provided with the two extending cleats 12 these cleats being so positioned as to snugly engage the neck portion 7 and fit between the shoulders S and the shelf 14.

The parts may be constructed in any de-, sired size.

To the under surface of the upper end of the standard 6 is secured the jaw 10. In securing the ironing board the edge of the table is pinched between the cleats 4 and the jaw 10, this construction also preventing any laterrd displacement of the board as the flat end of the ironing board rests against the edge of the table, and

Having thus described our said invention what we claim as new and desire to secure by U. S. Letters Patent is The combination with an ironing board; of a standard connected to said board and extending thereobove, a laterally reduced upper end formed on said standard, shoulders at the junction of the upper end and body of the standard, a shelf secured upon the reduced upper end of the standard, said shelf forming a pair of slots in connection with the shoulders, a sleeve board, cleats on said sleeve board spaced to fit within the slots and support the sleeve board by engagement between said shelf and the shoulders on the standard.

In testimony whereof, we nllix our signatures, in presence of two witnesses.
