Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to an ironing board in which a storage box for storing an iron, etc. is attached to the lower surface of the main body of the board.

[Technical background of the invention]

Conventionally, this type of ironing board was published in Japanese Patent Publication No. 58-44100.
It is known from the publication no. This ironing board consists of a pair of worktables connected by a hinge, a storage case provided on the lower surface of one of the worktables, and legs provided on the lower surface of the other worktable. The storage case has a door on the front, and is configured to open and close the door to take out and take out irons and the like.

[Problems with background technology]

By the way, in this type of ironing board, the main body (workbench) is arranged at a height position suitable for handling by a user in a sitting position.

Therefore, in order to insert or remove an iron or the like from the storage case located below the main body, the user must bend down and look at the storage case, which is inconvenient.

[Purpose of invention]

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an ironing board that allows easy loading and unloading of irons and the like.

[Summary of the idea]

That is, the ironing board according to the present invention is provided with a main body whose entire upper surface is an ironing surface, a storage box with an open top surface attached to the lower surface of the main body,
A part of the stand main body or the storage box facing the top opening of the box is movable, and a part of the stand main body covers the top opening of the storage box so as to be openable and closable.

According to the ironing board having this feature, the storage box can be opened by moving the part of the board body that faces the top surface of the storage box away from the storage box, or by moving the storage box away from the board main body. The top opening is open, and irons and the like can be taken in and out of the storage box through the top opening.

In this way, since the iron or the like can be taken in and out of the storage box below the stand body from above the stand body, the user can work without having to take an unnatural bent-down posture. Therefore, it becomes easy to take out and put irons etc. into the storage box.

[Example of idea]

A first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a base body, and this embodiment shows a case in which a fixed frame 2 and a movable frame 3 are rotatably connected by a hinge 4. Each of the frames 2 and 3 is formed by providing a crosspiece in the frame portion. A lath plate 5 is attached to the upper surface of both frames 2 and 3, respectively. Legs 6 are provided protruding from the lower surface of the fixed frame 2, and a storage box 7 is attached and fixed on the movable frame 3 side. The storage box 7 is a box with an open top, and the iron A and other small items necessary for ironing are stored inside the storage box 7. The upper opening of the storage box 7 is covered by a movable frame 3 so as to be openable and closable, and the closed state of the movable frame 3 is held by a clamp mechanism 8. The clamp mechanism 8 is formed of, for example, a clamp receiver 8a provided on the upper side surface of the storage box 7, and a plate spring-made clamp 8b protruding from the lower surface of the movable frame 3 and detachable from the clamp receiver 8a. Note that although not shown in the storage box 7, a stand, a heat shield, etc. for supporting the iron A are provided, and in this embodiment, the storage box 7 is configured to be used as the other leg. Reference numeral 7a in FIGS. 1 and 3 indicates a seat protrusion made of rubber or the like which is protruded from the lower surface of the storage box 7 if necessary. Also, 9 in the figure is both frames 2,
3 is a mat made of non-woven fabric etc. placed over the lath plate 5 on the upper surface, and this mat 9 and the stand main body 1
is covered with outer cloth 10. The mat 9 and the skin 10 make the entire upper surface of the stand main body 1 an ironing surface.

To use the ironing board with the above structure, first, from the installed state shown in Figs. 1 and 2, apply a pulling force to the clamp 8b of the clamp mechanism 8 in the direction of the arrow in Fig. 1 to clamp the clamp 8b. Remove from receiver 8a. Subsequently, the movable frame 3 is rotated around the hinge 4 and raised. The above operation is performed in one motion, and the state in which the movable frame 3 is raised is shown in FIG. This opens the top opening of the storage box 7. Next, the user takes out the iron A etc. from the storage box 7 and then pushes the movable frame 3 downward. Then, the clamp 8b is automatically engaged with the clamp receiver 8a, and both frames 2 and 3 are flush with each other. This situation is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. After that, the user can iron the iron using the ironing surface on the top of the main body 1. Furthermore, after using the ironing board, the movable frame 3 can be opened and closed again in the same manner as above, and the iron A etc. can be stored in the storage box 7 from above.

Next, a second embodiment shown in FIGS. 4 to 6 will be described.

In this embodiment, the movable frame 3 of the stand main body 1 is
The storage box 7 is provided so as to be able to move toward and away from the fixed frame 2, and has a sliding portion 11 made of, for example, a protrusion on the front and rear inner surfaces, and the storage box 7 is attached to the upper edges of both front and rear walls. For example, a guide part 1 consisting of a groove is provided.
2. The sliding portion 11 is engaged with the guide portion 12, so that the movable frame 3 is provided so as to be movable in the left-right direction. Since the structure is the same as that of the first embodiment except for the above structure and the omission of the hinge and clamp mechanism provided in the first embodiment, explanation of the same parts will be omitted.

Therefore, in order to put the iron A etc. in and out of the storage box 7, as shown in FIG. This can be done by opening the top opening of the storage box 7 by sliding it away from the fixed frame 2.

Further, a third embodiment shown in FIGS. 7 to 9 will be described.

In this embodiment, the stand main body 1 consists of a single frame corresponding to a fixed frame, which is supported by a pair of legs 6. A guide portion 13 is formed at the front and rear of one end side of the stand main body 1. Furthermore, the storage box 7 has a handle 14 and is formed with a sliding part 15 that is slidably supported by the guide part 13 at the upper edge. Therefore, the storage box 7 is attached so as to be movable in the left-right direction. In addition, 16 in the figure is a stopper, and the seat protrusion 7a is always slightly floating from the mounting surface, so that when the storage box 7 is pulled out as shown in FIG. 8, it comes into contact with the mounting surface. There is. others,
The top surface of the storage box 7 is open, the mat 9 and the outer cloth 10 are provided on the lath board 5, etc.
It has the same structure as the first embodiment described above.

In this embodiment, in order to take out and put the iron A etc. into and out of the storage box 7, the top opening of this box 7 can be opened by pulling out the storage box 7 from one end of the base body 1 as shown in FIG. You can do it with

Although each of the above-mentioned embodiments is constructed as described above, when implementing the present invention, the specific structures of the base body, storage box, etc.
It goes without saying that the shape, position, etc. are not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and can be configured and implemented in various ways.

[Effect of idea]

Since the present invention described above has the configuration described in the above-mentioned utility model claims, irons and the like can be taken in and out through the opening on the top surface of the storage box. Therefore, it is possible to easily put in and take out irons, etc. without having to bend down.
