Lette/rs .Patent No. 96,384, dated November 2, 1869.

IMPROVED IRONING--BOARII The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part o! the lame.

To all whom it may conce/rn Be it known that we., 'OALEB H. BENNETT and WIL- LIAM A. DAGGETT, of South Vineland, in the county of Cumberland, and in the State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ironing-Board.; and do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had vtothe accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, making a part of this specification.

The nature vof our invention consists in the con-` struct-ion and general arrangement of an ironing-'board, as will be hereinafter fully set forth.

In order to enable others skilled in the art to which 'our invent-ion appertains, to make and use the same, we will now proceed to describe its construction and operation, referring to the annexed drawings, in which- Fignre 1v is a side view, and

Figure 2, a bottom view.

A represents the ironing-board, made of any mate: rial, and of any` size or shape desired.

Ou the under side of the board A is hinged a brace or support, B, of suitable lengt-h, which brace can be folded up under the board, and held by means of a button, b, the end of said button entering into a groove or recess, a, in the side of the brace.

The inner end of the board A is provided with hinges, d dwhich are attached, in a manuel' hereinafter to be set forth, t-o a board, C, which may be secured to the wall by screws o1," othersuitable means.

The board A can therefore be raised up against the wall when not in us, vand held there by a strap or loop` attached to a. small screw-head, e, on the underside of the board.

vThat part of the hinge d which is attached to the vboard O consists of a flat plate, with a notch in one f the notches on the hinges and thus hold them between the board G and strip D., By this means the board A can be easily removed, by moving it a little to one side and lifting the hinges out of its recesses. Having thus folly described oni' invention, What we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

VThe combination of the hinged and movable board A, hinged brace B, with notch a, button b, board 0, strip D, notched hinges d d, and pills i i, all substantially as set forth. y

In testimony that we claim the. foregoing, we have hereunto set our hands, this 20th day ofAngnst, 1869.
