F. GALBRAITH COMBNED RONING BOARD COVER AND IRON PAD Filed NO V. 12, 1948 Aug. 21, 1951 INVENTOR. FRED GALBRAITH Patented Aug. 21, 1951 COMBINED IRONING BOARD COVER AND IRON PAD Fred Galbraith, New York, N. Y.
Application November 12, 1948, Serial No. 59,713
4 Claims.
.end of the board, or for hanging from and outwardly of the board, and so temporarily out of the way and hence then to render the entire length of the board available for pressing and/or spotting a garment or other article to be ironed which, as is often the case, is longer than merely that portion of the board beyond the pad when said pad is at its first-named location, that is, lying flat on the board in position to have a pressing iron rested on the pad.
In accordance with the invention, the iron pad may be constructed of any suitable material or materials, such as asbestos, metal, a plastic and other fire-proof or adequately heat-resistant materials or the like, for protecting the cover against burning or scorching when the pad is lying ilat on the board and the pressing iron is ordinarily resting thereon as while a garment or other article to be Dressed is being adjusted on the board.
For further comprehension of the invention, and of the objects and advantages thereof, reference will be had to the following description and accompanying drawings, and to the appended claims in which the various novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.
In the accompanying drawings forming a material part of this disclosure:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view, showing a conventional type of folding ironing board with the ironing board proper thereof equipped with a now favored embodiment of the invention, and with the iron pad shown in full lines as lying at on the cover and shown in dot and dash lines as in its other location.
Fig. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary detail View, this being a vertical section taken substantially on the line 2-2 of Fig. l.
Fig. 3 is a top plan view of Fig. 2.
Fig. 4 is a view similar to Fig. 2, but with the iron pad in its said other location, that is, hanging from an end of the board.
Fig. 5 is an end elevational view, looking toward the left in Fig. 4.
Fig. 6 is an enlarged fragmentary detail view,
2 this being a section taken on the line 6--6 of Fig. 3.
As will be noted, Figs. 3 and 5, although drawn to a larger scale than Fig. l, are drawn to a somewhat smaller scale than Figs. 2 and 4.
The ironing board I!) is illustrated as of 4the familiar shape and as of the type including a collapsible under structure I IA to provide a so-called folding ironing board.
Theironing board cover forming part of the new combination is designated i2, and the same is illustratively shown as of the accepted kind incorporating suitable portions and/or additions (in the latter case, for instance, a tying tape or cord, not shown), whereby such cover at its main expanse may be tautly stretched over the upper surface of the board Iii and then include other portions for lying opposite the bounding edges of the board and further including marginal extensions such as the one indicated at I4 in Figs. 2 and 4 at the butt end of the board I0 for being inturned for disposition against the bottom surface of the board incidental to atta-ching the cover to the board.
The pad I5, for lightness, durability and a high fire-resistant quality, desirably may be made, as indicated, of a self-sustaining sheet or slab of a suitable material; the now preferred material being the fabricated product known as asbestos board. As shown, such slab is of elongate rectangular shape.
The pad I5 is swingably mounted on the cover I2 by a ilexible hinge means indicated generally at I6. Such hinge desirably incorporates one or more strips of a pliant material, as a textile material, which latter may be the same material as used for making the cover I2.
As herein shown, two of such strips are employed, these marked Il and I8, to provide a twoply flexible component of the hinge means. The strips I'I and I8 may conveniently be secured along their lengths and in a direction widthwisely of the cover I2 by stitchings such as indicated at I9.
Further to fortify and strengthen such hinge structure, before said stitchings are applied, the strips Il and I8 are shown as marginally longitudinally folded to provide inturned seams as shown clearly in Figs. 2 and 4, thereby to establish a four-ply structure along the line or lines of anchorage of the hinge means to the cover I2.
The ironpad I5, as already stated desirably elongated as illustrated, is secured at one of its sides to the free end of said flexible component I1-I8 of the hinge means, as by use of a suit- 3 able plurality, here shown as three, of split shank fasteners 22, of a familiar type. These fasteners, usually of soft brass, are commonly spoken of in the stationers art as split brass fasteners.
Ordinarily, during ironing, the pad I may be arranged as in Figs. 1, 2 and 3. However, when an ironing space is desired which is coextensive or almost so with the entire length of the board It, the pad I5 may be instantaneously lifted, swung at its free end beyond the adjacent end of the board Ii), and then allowed to drop temporarily, whereupon the pad depends vertically and completely out of the way, as shown in Figs; 4 and 5, and, in dot and dash lines, in Fig. 1. The cover I2 may be retained on the board, regardless of how many times the described changes of location of the iron pad I5 occur, until the cover is desired to be removed from theboard, as for washing. Whenever the cover is te be washed, itis a simple andquickv matter to open up the fasteners 22 and remove them, thereby temporarily to disconnect the pad I5 from. the cover.
While I have illustrated. and described the preferred embodiment of my invention, it is to be understood that I do not limit myselfV to the precise construction herein disclosed and the right is reserved to all changes andv modifications coming within the scope of the invention. asV deiined .in the Yappended claims.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tov secure by United States. Letters Patent is:
1. In. combination with an ironing beard., a cover of cloth. material covering the top surface o'* the board, a hinge of flexible. material eX tended laterally across said cover adjacent one lendl ef the board, stitches securing the outer edge of-fsai'd hinge to said cover, a pad of rigid materiali resting on said cover and having its outer edge overlapping the inner edge of saidY hinge, and means releasably securing together the overlapped outer edge of said pad and the inner edge ef said-hinge, whereby said pad can be swung on said hinge to depend along the adjacent end of thel board.
21'. In combination with an ironing board, a cover of cloth material covering the top surface ofthe board, a hinge of flexible materialV ex tended laterally across said cove;` adjacent one end of the board, stitches securing thefouter edge of said hinge to said cover, a padv of rigid material resting on said cover and having its outer edge overlapping the inner edge of said hinge, and means releasably securing together the overlapped outer edge of said pad and the inner edge of said hinge, whereby said pad can be swung on said hinge to depend along the adjacent end of the board| said hinge being formed of superimposed layers of cloth material.
3. In combination with an ironing board, a cover of cloth material covering the top surface of the board, a hinge of flexible material extended laterally across said cover adjacent one end of the board, stitches securing the outer edge of said hinge to said cover, a pad of rigid material resting on said cover and having its outer edge overlapping the inner edge of said hinge, and means releasably securing together the overlapped outer edge of said pad and the inner edge of said hinge, whereby said pad can be swung on said hinge to depend along the adjacent end of the board, said pad. being, formed of asbestos boardand. being; of a width slightly less than the width of the ironing board and of .a length ap'- proximately one-sixth the length of the ironing board.
4. Incombination with an ironing board',r a voever of cloth material covering. the topsurface of rthe board, a hinge of flexible material extendedE laterally across said cover adjacent one endof thev board, stitches securing the outer edge of.' said hinge to said cover, a pad of rigid. material. resting. on said. cover and having its. outer edge. overlapping the inner edge of said hinge, and meansI releasably securing together the overlapped outer edge of. said pad and the inner edge `of said.- h-inge, whereby said pad can be swung on said hinge to depend along. the adjacent end of the board, said securing means comprising spaced split fasteners engaged through the overlapped ledges ofsaid hinge and said pad.
