ABSTRACT:
An ironing board having a mounting frame with a hook that allows the ironing board to be hung from the top of a door without any permanent fasteners. All the weight of the device is taken on the hook, and only a small side force caused by the motion of an iron across the surface of the board needs to be accounted for. A pair of suction cups mounted on the frame and applied to the door surface are provided to handle this side force. To support the surface board, which is pivotally mounted on the frame, each of a pair of braces is slideably connected to the frame and pivotally connected to the surface board. The frame, the surface board and the braces together form a pair of three-sided structures for supporting the surface board while it is extended in use. For transport and storage, the ironing board can be folded inside of its frame, minimizing the space taken up by the device and protecting the board from damage. When extended in use, the ironing board occupies wasted space which must be left vacant in a room to allow the door to be swung open. The underside of the surface board lacks any obtrusive support legs, allowing even a person confined to a wheel chair to utilize it. The design allows a unique ironing board cover to be utilized. The cover, which is slipped over the free end of the board like a glove, offers interchangable top and bottom surfaces, thereby doubling the life of the cover.
