ABSTRACT:
An ironing board for mounting to a structure, such as a wall or door, and which is pivotally attached to a frame. The ironing board pivots between a vertical position when stored and a horizontal position when in use. The mounting frame is configured as an inverted, U-shaped structure with vertically oriented legs positioned on opposite sides of the ironing board. The ironing board can be vertically displaced while in its horizontal position, so as to permit the easy placement and removal of an ironing board cover. The frame is mounted to a door or wall through a bracket which has protruding members formed thereon designed to engage with corresponding slotted keyways in the mounting frame. Vertical adjustment of the frame is achieved by engaging appropriate slotted keyways with the protruding members. In one embodiment of the invention, the bracket has a hook portion formed thereon which extends over the top of a door for supporting the mounting frame therefrom. In an alternate embodiment of the invention the bracket is mounted to the inside of a cabinet, which has a cover hingedly mounted thereto for enclosing the mounting frame and ironing board. Guides are formed on the mounting frame to vertically orient the bracket and to prevent the lateral displacement of the mounting frame with respect to the bracket. Mounting members, such as tabs, are formed on the mounting frame for supporting a basket.
