ABSTRACT:
An ironing board assembly for mounting on a standard door in the home or the like includes a tubular mounting frame, a pivoted ironing board on the frame and, if desired, a swinging cover for enclosing the board and frame when not in use. The frame is supported by at least one hanger bracket extending over the top of the door. The bracket includes an inverted U-shaped hook and a second hook extending in the opposite direction. A coupler section in between provides a small included angle of approximately 6.degree. between the hooks for pre-biasing the assembly so as to maintain it snug against the door during movement. A bent prong rotatably fixes the second hook to the frame. The ironing board is supported in the horizontal operative position by a U-shaped support brace. One of the pivot pins mounting the brace is flexible and engages a detent for holding the board in the retracted position. A tab with a cam portion forms the detent on the board frame and provides snap action retention when the board is raised. A plastic stop on the board frame provides resiliency to absorb shock as the board moves to the operative position. The hinges that support the auxiliary swinging cover include a mounting block and a hinge rod that are interchangeable for the top and bottom. The block for the hinge also serves as a spacer for the frame against the door. Suction cups mounted on the frame lock onto the door and serve to assist in securing the assembly against lateral movement across the door.
