board are hinges 3 between the portions 4 of which a clampingmember 5 is pivoted upon the pin 6, as shown clearly in Figs. 2 and '3 of the drawings. Between the end 7 of the clamping member 5 and the end S of the ironing board, the table 1 is clamped, as will be observed upon referring to Figs. 1 and 2. The. end 10 of the clamping member is rovided with a'reduced portion 11, whic is pivoted b tween the arms 12 ofa bifurcated portion 13 of a leg supporting member 14, as 1 clearly shown in Figs. 2 and3. l 'It will be seen, upon referring to Fig. '2 r f the drawings, that the leg supporting 1nember 14 is disposed in parallel relation to the legs of the table so asto cause the ends 13 of the arms 12 to have a'cam action upon the under face of the ironing board so as to throw thereby securely clamping the top of the table, as will be clearly evident upon referring to Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawings.

The leaf portions 4 of the hinges 3 are lunged to the plates 16, which together with the portions 4 compose the said hinges 3, which plates 16 are secured to the under face of the ironing board by suitable screws 1.7, as clearly shown in Fig. 3.

From the foregoing, it will be notedthat a simple and novel ironing board is afforded member is afforded, which, when manipulated for supporting the ironing ates a locking member between which and the ironing board the table is clamped.
