IRONING-TABLE.
Speeiiieation of Letters Patent.
Patented Sept. 10, 1907.
Application filed May 16, 1907. Serial No. 373.918.
To all -iohom L may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE FosrER, a citizen of the United States, residing at East Auburn, in the county el' Placer and State of Calilornia, have invented new and useful Improvements in Ironing-Tables, of which the iollowing is a specification.
My invention relates to ironing tables, and consists i n the peculiar and advantageous ioldable ironing table hereinafter described and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification: Figure l is a perspective view of my improved ironing table as the same appears when unl'olded and set up ready lor use. Fig. 2 is an end elevation ol the same, showing the bail through which one end oi' the board is connected with the comparatively long supporting member. Fig. 3 is a plan view ol' the table as the same appears when olded, and'. Fig. il is a transverse section taken in the plane indicated by the line 4 4 of Fig. 3.
Similar letters designate corresponding parts in all of the views ol the drawings, referring to which:
A is the comparatively long supporting member of` my novel ironing table.
B is the short supporting member of the table, and C is the locking member-Qi. e., the member through the medium of which the supporting members are lxed with respect to each other to maintain the ironing board, presently described, at various heights.
The long supporting member A is made up of parallel bars a having notches b in their upper edges, and a cross-bar or rod c extending between and connecting the lower or outer portions ol the side bars a.
The comparatively short supporting member B comprises side bars (l arranged at the inner sides of and pivotally connected at c to the side bars a of member A, and a base j' disposed transversely and iixed to the lower ends oi the side bars d.
The locking member C is formed by side bars g pivoted at h to the inner sides of the bars d oi the member B adjacent to the lower ends oi said bars d, a cross-bar t' extending between and connecting the iree end portions ol the side bars g, and studs or projections j extending laterally outward irom the free portions of the bars g and designed to be seated in the notches b of the long supporting member A.
By virtue of the construction and relative arrangement of the supporting members A and B and the locl;` ing member C as described, it will be apparent that when the projections j of the locking member are seated in notches b of the long supporting member, the supporting members A and B will be securely fixed with respect to each other so as to constitute a rigid and strong support; and it will also be apparent that by placing the projections j in different pairs of notches b, the upper ends of the short supporting member B and the ironing board thereon may be supported at various heights so as to enable a laundress to iron clothes on the board to advantage. It will further be apparent that subsequent to the removal of the proljections j from notches b, the lupper portions oi the side of member B and also between the side bars of member A and with its projections j resting on the upper edges oi the s'ide bars of the latter member. From this it follows that the folded table constitutes a compact bundle adapted to be conveniently handled and to be stood up on the base f in a corner oi a room or in a closet or the like.
D is the board of the improved table. The said board D is provided at its under side and considerably nearer to one oi its ends than to the other with a block 7c which rests between the upper portions oi the side bars d of supporting member B so that the said board D is enabled to rest on the upper ends of the said bars cl. The board D is further provided with trunnions Z which are journaled in the upper portions of the bars d and are preferably formed by the ends oi a metallic rod m seated in a groove in the underside oi block c and fixed thereto. In its upper side and adjacent to its rear end, the board D is provided with a transverse groove p, and in this groove is arranged and secured by staples T or other suitable means the transverse portion s of a metallic bail E. This bail E in addition to the transverse portion s comprises arms t which depend from the ends of the transverse portion and are pivotally connected to eyes u on the short arms oi the side bars a of the member A. Because oi this construction the board D is enabled when the table is folded to assume a position slightly above and parallel to the supporting member A, and when the table is unfolded and set up ready for use, it will be noted that the bail E assures the board D assuming and remaining in a horizontal position irrespective of the particular pairs of notches b in which the projections j of the locking member C are placed. It will also be apparent that the connection oi the bail to the short arm oi the board D, leaves the long arm oi the said board entirely free of projections so that skirts and similar garments may be conveniently slipped on the said long arm to iacilitate the proper ironing of the garments.
I prefer in practice to construct my improved ironing table in the manner specifically described in the ioregoing, but it is obvious' that in practice such changes or modications may be made as fairly tall Within the scope of my invention as deiined in the claims appended.
Having described my invention, what I Claim and desire to secure by Letters-Patent, is:
l. The combination in an ironing table, of a longsupporting member' having side bars connected together adjacent to the lower ends thereof and also having notches in the upper edges of the lower portions of said side bars, a comparativel)y short supporting member' having side bars pivoted at an intermediate point in their length to the inner sides of the side bars of the long supporting member and also having a transverse base Iixed to the lower ends ot the side bars, a locking member having side bars connected together and plvoted to the side bars ol the short supporting member and also havingl lateral projections arranged to be seated in the notches in the upper edges oi' the side bars of the long supporting member, a board arranged to bear at a point much nearer to one of its ends than to the other on the upper ends oi the side bars of the short supporting member' and having a block at its under side disposed between the said side bars with trunnions jonrnaled in the said bars, the board having a transverse groove in its upper side adjacent to the outer end of its short arm, and a bail having a transverse portion jonrnaled and secured in the said groove and also having' arms extending downward from the ends of the transverse portion and connected to the short arms of the side bars of the member that is comparatively long and forms part of the board support.
2. An ironing table comprising a comparatively long supporting member, a comparatively short supporting member pivoted at an intermediate point ol its length to the long member at an intermediate point in the length of the latter, a locking member plvoted to the short supporting member. cooperating means on the long supporting member and the locking member whereby the latter may be iixed at various points to the former, a board having trunnions arranged much nearer to one of its ends than to the other and pivoted in the upper portion el the short supporting member, and a bail pivoted to the short arm of the board adjacent to the outer end thereot` and having arms connected to the long supporting member.
In' testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence ot' two subscribingl witnesses.
GEORGE FOSTER.
