Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides an ironing board that is compact and allows items necessary for ironing to be easily stored.

Conventionally, ironing boards have been made smaller by, for example, folding the legs attached to the workbench. However, even if the legs were folded, it could not be made smaller than the size of the work surface, making it inconvenient to carry.

Furthermore, when storing the iron, the work table and the iron must be stored separately due to the structure, which requires time to prepare for ironing and requires a large storage space.

The present invention eliminates the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, and one embodiment thereof will be described in detail below.

In the drawings, reference numerals 1 and 2 refer to a pair of worktables rotatably connected by a hinge 9, which are box-shaped with a frame 3 provided at their peripheral edge. Reference numeral 4 denotes a top plate made of a highly vapor permeable material such as wire mesh, which is attached to the frame 3. 5
is a mat placed on the upper surface of the work tables 1 and 2, the surface of which is covered with a cover 6. Note that the mat 5 is partially fixed to the workbench 1 and detachably attached to the workbench 2. Reference numeral 7 denotes an iron storage case attached to the lower surface of the workbench 1, which has a door 11 that can be opened and closed, and functions as one leg for supporting the workbench 1 and 2 when ironing. 8
are the legs attached to the underside of workbench 2; workbench 1,
When 2 is folded, this leg 8 becomes the storage case 7.
The iron is located in front of the door 11 and does not obstruct its opening and closing, and is configured so that the iron can be stored freely.

When folded, the hinge 9 forms a space between the workbenches 1 and 2, and its fulcrum is located below the workbenches 1 and 2 so that the storage case 7 and the legs 8 can be stored in this space. It is set up. Reference numeral 10 denotes a handle attached to the storage case 7, by which the ironing board can be held. Reference numeral 12 denotes a locking piece attached to the lower surface of the workbench 2, and is formed of, for example, an elastic plate. Reference numeral 13 denotes a locking hole provided in the storage case 7, with which the locking piece 12 engages when the workbenches 1 and 2 are folded. The locking piece 12 is configured to be biased in the locking direction when in the locked state.

Next, its operation will be explained. When the ironing board is used, it is in the state shown in FIG. 1, and when the ironing board is to be stored next time, the mat 5 on the workbench 2 side is removed, and the ironing board is folded and fixed on the workbench 1 side. Next, the pair of workbenches 1 and 2 are folded around the fulcrum of the hinge 9, and the lower surface of the workbench 2 is brought into contact with the side surface of the storage case 7, so that the locking piece 12 and the locking hole 13 are engaged. For example, a storage case 7 and leg portions 8 are stored in the space between the workbenches 1 and 2 as shown in FIG.

Therefore, one end of the pair of workbenches 1 and 2 is attached to a hinge 9.
They are connected so that they can be folded freely, and when they are folded, a space is created between the work tables 1 and 2 to accommodate the iron storage case 7, so the size can be reduced by simply folding them when storing them. When in use, by expanding the workbenches 1 and 2, a wide working surface can be used. Furthermore, a space is formed between work tables 1 and 2 to simultaneously store the iron and items necessary for ironing.
Even if the hot iron is stored in the storage case 7 immediately after work, it can be carried safely. Moreover, since the iron, etc. is stored in the storage case 7, there is no need for special fixing means when carrying it.
Moreover, it can be easily put in and taken out. Furthermore, since the storage case 7 also uses one leg to support the workbench, the configuration can be simplified.

As described above, the present invention includes a pair of worktables that are foldably connected by a hinge, an iron storage case provided on the lower surface of one of the worktables, and legs provided on the lower surface of the other worktable. The iron storage case and the legs support an unfolded worktable, and the worktable is folded by the hinge to form a space between the worktables, and the iron storage case is By arranging and storing the iron in this space, a workbench can be formed above the iron storage case when in use. Therefore, ironing work can be done without taking up much space.

Additionally, the workbench itself can be folded into a compact size when stored, making it easier to transport and reducing storage space. Furthermore, since one of the legs that support the workbench is made up of an iron storage case, the simple structure of just installing the legs on the other workbench provides sufficient strength and is lightweight. It is also easier to transport, making it easier to transport.
