Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
151 words
An iron support for attachment to an ironing board, said support comprising attachment means for detachable connection to the underside of an ironing board, an arm extending pivotally from said attachment means for swinging movement between an extended position beyond said board and a retracted position beneath said board, a platform at the free end of said arm, and mounting means mounting said platform on said arm for swinging movement therewith between an extended use position beyond the board and a retracted storage position beneath the board, said attachment means comprising an elongate clamp for extension along and releasable clamping engagement with an edge of the board, a transverse projection on said clamp for extending inwardly beneath the board, and an adjustment member extending adjustably upwardly from the distal end of said projection for abutting engagement with the underside of the board for adjusting the inclination of said clamp and arm.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
151 words
An iron support for attachment to an ironing board, said support comprising attachment means for detachable connection to the underside of an ironing board, an arm extending pivotally from said attachment means for swinging movement between an extended position beyond said board and a retracted position beneath said board, a platform at the free end of said arm, and mounting means mounting said platform on said arm for swinging movement therewith between an extended use position beyond the board and a retracted storage position beneath the board, said attachment means comprising an elongate clamp for extension along and releasable clamping engagement with an edge of the board, a transverse projection on said clamp for extending inwardly beneath the board, and an adjustment member extending adjustably upwardly from the distal end of said projection for abutting engagement with the underside of the board for adjusting the inclination of said clamp and arm.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
28 words
An iron support according to claim 1, said mounting means being pivotally connected to said arm to mount said platform for selective rotative positioning relative to said arm.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
130 words
An iron support for attachment to an ironing board, said support comprising attachment means for detachable connection to the underside of an ironing board, an arm extending pivotally from said attachment means for swinging movement between an extended position beyond said board and a retracted posit beneath said board, a platform at the free end of said arm, and mounting means mounting said platform on said arm for swinging movement therewith between an extended use position beyond the board and a retracted storage position beneath the board, said mounting means comprising a plate secured on the underside of said platform, spacer means selectively interposed between said plate and platform to mount the latter at a selected inclination, and pivot means interconnecting said plate and the free end of said arm.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
130 words
An iron support for attachment to an ironing board, said support comprising attachment means for detachable connection to the underside of an ironing board, an arm extending pivotally from said attachment means for swinging movement between an extended position beyond said board and a retracted posit beneath said board, a platform at the free end of said arm, and mounting means mounting said platform on said arm for swinging movement therewith between an extended use position beyond the board and a retracted storage position beneath the board, said mounting means comprising a plate secured on the underside of said platform, spacer means selectively interposed between said plate and platform to mount the latter at a selected inclination, and pivot means interconnecting said plate and the free end of said arm.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
49 words
An iron support according to claim 3, said arm including an inner portion depending pivotally from said attachment means, a lateral portion extending laterally from said inner portion, and an outer portion upstanding from said lateral portion, and said mounting means being pivotally mounted on said outer arm portion.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
27 words
An iron support according to claim 4, in combination with means frictionally retaining pivotal arm action at said inner arm portion to prevent undesired arm swinging movement.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
152 words
An iron support for attachment to an ironing board, said support comprising attachment means for detachable connection to the underside of an ironing board, an arm extending pivotally from said attachment means for swinging movement between an extended position beyond said board and a retracted position beneath said board, a platform at the free end of said arm, mounting means mounting said platform of said arm for swinging movement therewith between an extended use position beyond the board and a retracted storage position beneath the board, and means frictionally retaining pivotal arm action at said inner arm portion to prevent undersired arm swinging movement, said platform being inclined, and rails on said platform to retain an iron in position thereon, the pivotal axis of said mounting means being located to extend above the center of gravity of an iron in position on said platform for inherent stability of said iron and platform.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
