Aug. 3, 1943. B. PARKER PORTABLE FOLDING IRONING BOARD Filed Sept. 30, 1941 INVENTOR. 3e01, race Park-16 I hm ATwRNEY Patented Aug. 3, 1943 ENT orrlcs This invention relates to new and useful I'm provements ironing boards; and has particular I reference to a portable foldingironing. board.
The invention contemplates the construction of an ironing board as mentioned which is char T aeterized by a pair of adjacent board sections and a hinge or ioldably connecting ad jacent ends of these sections together.-
The invention proposesto so locate the hinge or hinges on the sections of the ironing board that the sections may move from adjacent folded positions to aligned-positions. In the latter po sition of the sections theboard may :be placed across chairs or other supportingeleznents and used in the usual Way.
The invention further contemplates an ar-- rangement by whichthe folded ironing board may be supported on a nail, clothes bar or other supporting element. a i
. For further comprehension of this-invention, and of the objects and advantages thereoLreference will be had to the'followin description and accompanying drawing, and to the appended claims in which the-various novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.
In the accompanying drawing forming a material part of this disclosure: Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a portable folding ironing board constructed in accordance with this invention, looking upon it from the top.
' Fig. 2 is a bottom view of the board shown in Fig. 1.. r f
3 is an elevational view ofthe board shown in Figs. 1 and 2 in its folded position, to which a supporting means has been app-lied. V
Fig. 4 is a fragmentary enlarged 'elevational view looking in the direction of the line 4-4 of Fig. 3.

Fig. 8 is a front elevational View of a folding board provided with supporting means in accordance with another modification of the invention, v
The portable folding ironing board, in accord ance with this invention, includes a pair of ad-, jacent sections l9 and H, and a hinge or hinges i2 hingedly connecting the adjacent ends of these sections. The hinges i?! are mount ed onthe bottom faces of the sections and are of.a construction which makes it possiblefor the sections to fold up adjacent each other as illustrated particularly in Figs. 3 and 4.. Moreoveig the hinges permit the sections to be opened to the positionzshcwn in Figs. 1 and 2, and then the adjacent endsof the section will contact each forming shoulders which limit furtherpiv- 1 Thusfithe sections maintain aligned positions. The board in the open position illustrated in Fig. 1 maybe placed aga'inst two chairs,-0r chairran'd table, or other supporting means, and act inthensualway.
'Meansis provided for hanging up the folded board, when is desired. In the'formof the invention shown in Figs. 18 and aithis means comprises alocp of string or cord l4 whichis engaged over one of the sections of the ironing board and moved to a position toextend across the hinges i 2. The string E i supports a hook l5 by which'the ironing board may be suspended from a nail, clothes rod or other supporting member. When desired the loop i l may be opened up and. removed. The ends of'the cord forming the loop M are shown tied together into a how it.
In Fig. 5 another modified form of the invention is disclosed in which a conventional wire clothes hanger ii is shown extended across the hinges E2 of the folded board, to comprise the supporting means.
In Figs. 6 and 7 another modified form of the invention is disclosed in which means for hanging up'the ironing board comprises a wire which has its ends 08a permanently attached to one of the leaves of the hinges 12, by welding, indicated by reference numeral id, or the Wire l8 may be attached to the leaves of the hinges in some other way. The wire 8 has a central upwardly extending portion 28. A hook 2| is slidably mounted on the wire l8. When the sections of i the, ironing board are in their folded positions, as shown in Figs. 6 and 7, the hook 2! opening of the sections.
In Fig. 8 still another modified form of the invention has been disclosed in which the portable folding ironing board is shown disposed Within an envelope 22 which has an opening and top flap 23 through which the board may be removed when desired. The envelope 22 is also provided with a tab 2 having an opening 25 by which it may be engaged on a nail or other supporting element.
It is to be understood that this device may be used, not only as an ironing board or clothes hanger, but also for any general purpose in the kitchen or elsewhere as a food slicing and chopping board, emergency table; etc. It also may be used as a protecting shield over the top of furniture for placing hot objects thereon.
This board may be made of any suitable material and also coveredby the usual padding and removable cover. The board may be folded with the padding and cover when desired and placed or hung wherever desired.
While I have illustrated and described the preferred embodiments of my invention, it is to be understood that I donot limit myself to the precise constructions'herein disclosed and attaching said hook tonne of said board: sec-.
tions so that it may be moved iroman operative extended position to an inoperative position retracted between the adjacent faces of said board sections, comprising a length of wire disposed between said hinges and having its ends attached to the leaves of the hinges which are attached to one of said board sections, said wire being spaced from the adjacent edges of said board sections and having a central portion directed towards said adjacent edges, and means slidably attaching said hookto said wireto be movable to an operative position engaging said bent central portion and slidable to an inoperative position disengaged from said bent central portion.
2. A portable folding ironing board, comprising a pairof adjacent board sections, spaced hinges hingedly connecting adjacent ends of said board sections together, a hook arranged to projoint in an operative position from between the hinged ends of said board sections, and means attaching said hook to one of said board sections so. that it may be moved from an operative extended position to an inoperative position retracted. between the adjacent faces of said board sections, comprising a length of Wire disposed between said'hinges and having its ends attached to the leavescf the hinges which are attached to one of said board sections, said wire being spaced from the adjacent edges of said board sections and having acentral portion directed towards said adjacent edges, and means slidably attaching said hook to said wire to be movable 'to an operative position engaging said bent central portion and slidable to an inoperative position disengaged from'said bent central portion,
latter means, comprising a portion of said hook which is slidably bent around said wire.
