COMBINED TABLE AND IRONING-MAGHINE UlPIiORT. v A
Application filed October 26, 1925. Serial No. 64,754. I
This invention relates to -a combined table and ironing-machine support, and has for its object to conserve space in a k1tchen by providing a combined table and ironing ma- 5 chine in which'the table to is so mounted on the supporting frame t at its pos1t 1on thereon may be reversed, and the ironing mechanism is so mounted on the reversible top that in one position of the top it is w1thin the frame beneath the top and in the reversed position of the top it is in operat ve position above the top. a
A further object of the invention is to provide a combination table and ironing machine in which the frame is so constructed and the top is so mounted on the frame that when the top is in position for ironin the space beneath the forward portion 0 the top is entirely clear and ample knee room is provided.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a reversible top ironlng machine in which the weight of the ironing mechanism acts to hold the top in engagement with fixed stops in either of its reverse-d positions so that no locking means is required for retaining the top in either of its positions, and the top can be moved'from either of its positions to the reverse position by lifting upon one edge or the other thereof A further object of the invention is to so locate the fixed stops that they are entirely clear of the table in all POSltlOIlStllGIGOf except that in which the table is held by the stops so that it is unnecessary to cut away any portion of the top to clear the stop lugs.
A further object is to so mount the ironing mechanism upon the top that when the ironing mechanism is in operative position the top at the side of the ironing mechanism from which the goods are fed to the ironing roll and orms a platform upon which the goods may rest while being fed to the ironing roll.
With the above and other objects in view the invention may be said to comprise the ironing machine as illustrated in the accompanying drawings hereinafter described and particularly set forth in the appended claims, together with such variations and modifications thereof as will be apparent to one skilled in the art to which the invention appertains.
projects beyond theside of. the frame" Reference should be had to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification in which Fig. '1 is a perspective View showing the ironing mechanism in operative position; Fig. 2 1s an end elevation of the machine showing, in full lines, the
ositioned that theironing mechanism is eneath it and within the frame, and
top so showing in dotted lines, the ironing mecha- 1 nism in operative positlon; Fig. 3 is a diapivotal connection between the top and frame at the end thereof opposite that shown in Fig. 2.
Referring to the accompanyin drawings the supporting frame consists 0 front and rear supporting legs 1 and 2 ,connected by horizontal end bars 3 which are connected to the tops of the front legs, and to the rear legs which 'are higher than the frontpanel 7. The end bars '3 are connecte to the outer sides of the legsvl and 2 and the center portion of the bars are offset outward- 1y to a slight extent between the front and rear legs to provide clearance for thevswinging top as w ll behereinafter more fully explained.
' Intermediate theends thereof the end bars 3 have integral posts 8 extending upwarde ly therefrom, these posts being located at a rear thereof, each post 8 being provided with an open trunnion receiving socket 9 at the upper end thereof. The table top 10 has secured upon one face. thereof at one end a supporting bracket -ll, which has .an out.-
wardly projecting boss 12 carrying a trun-- nion- 3 'whichis adapted to. fit within the I socket 9'at theupper end of the post 8, on
the adjacentbar 3. At the opposite endeof the 'top there is a mechanism housing 14 which carries a second trunnion13 in axial alignment with the trunnion 13" and adapted ,to engage the socket 9 of the post Son-the cross bar 3 at that end of the frame] The 65 grammatic plan view of the supporting frame showing the bracing of the legs; Fig, 4 is a fragmentary end view, showing the o5 point nearer the front of the frame than the path 0 trunnions 13 and 13 are positioned at points nearer one longitudinal edge of the to than the other so that when the top 10 is 1n the position shown in Fig. 2 of the drawing, one edge thereof is even with the rear side of the frame and the opposite edge thereof is even with the front side of the frame, and when the table'is in the reversed position shown in Fig. 1, a portion thereof projects out past the front ofthe frame.
It will e noted that the pivotal movement of the top in one direction is limited by the extensions 6 of the rear'legs. Means is also provided for limiting the pivotal movement of the top in the opposite direction to substantially 180 so that the top may be moved from the horizontal position shown in Fig. 2 to a reversed position by turning the top through 180 about its trunnions. The stops for limiting the swinging movement at the top and for retaining 1t in the reversed position, are in the form of lugs 18 which are formed integrally withthe end bars 3 and which iproject inwardly therefrom into the the movement of the table between the posts 8 and the rear of the frame. The ironing mechanism is carried by the bracket 11 and housing 14 and is positioned at the side of the pivotal axis of the top opposite that with which the lugs 18 engage so that the weight thereof holds the top in engage- -ment with the lugs.
. The specific ironing mechanism employed in 1mmater1al to the present invention, but preferably comprises an ironing sho'e 19 and a roll 20 mounted for movement toward and I from the shoe. A feed board 21 may be provided in connection with the roll 20, and this board may be supported by arms 22 which may be pivotally and adjustably mounted on the'shaft 23 of the roll, the feed board being held in adjusted position by a pin 24. carried by the roll supporting arm 25 and adapted to engage in any one of the openings 26 in the inner portion of the adjacent arm 22.
When the 1 table top is in the position shown in Fig. 1 the ironing mechanism is entirely in front of the pivotal axis of the table and the weight of the ironing mechanism acts to firmly hold the table in engagement with the under side of the stop lugs 18 so-that the mechanism is securely supported in operative position. In this position of the top the ironing mechanism is directly over the front portion of the frame and the top 10 projects outwardly beyond the front of the frame forming a platform upon which the goods to be ironed may be placed. It should also be noted that the construction of the frame is such that the space between the forward portion of the top when in ironing position is entirely unobstructed so that the operator while ironing may sit in a chair with her knees under the table at any point along the length thereof. 2
The top can be reversed from the position shown in Fig. 1 to that shown in Flg. 2 by simply lifting up on the forwardly projecting portion of the table causing the 'rear portion of the top to swing downwardly away from the stop lugs 18. During movement the ironing mechanism will be moved up over the trunnions 13 until the center of gravity thereof is shifted to the rear of said trunnions, whereupon the weight of the ironing mechanism will carry the top on over into the position shown in Fig. 2 of the drawing in which position the weight of the ironing mechanism is between the trunnions 13 and the rear of the frame and acts to hold the table down upon the upper ends of the extensions 6 of the rear legs 2. During this movement of the top the posts 15 will be swung inwardly to'clear the inner sides of the legs 1 and when the top reaches horizontal position will swing outwardly into engagement with the upper ends of the legs 1. The stop lugs 18- are so positioned that they engage with edge portions of the top in one position only of the top and so that in the movement of the top to the reverse position no portions of the top move past the lugs. Likewise the extensions 61 of the rear legs are engaged by an edge portion of the top in only one position of the top and are cleared by the opposite edge of the top in the reversing movements thereof. Since the fixed stops are entirely clear of the edges of the top in its reversing movements the necessity for cutthis the top may be made with straight unbroken edges as is highly desirable when the ironing mechanism is folded into the frame and the table is being used as a kitchen table.
When the table to is in the position shown in Fig. 2 of t e drawing one edge portion overlles the extension 6 of the rear legs 2 and the opposite edge thereof overlies the pivoted posts 15 which rest upon the to of theflegs 1 and form extensions thereo ,nthe table legs in'this portion of the top being entirely wlthin the confines of the edges of the table as is desirable for a 'kitchen table.
