Elements for extending an ironing board

Abstract

Element (1) for extending the ironing surface (S) of an ironing board (A) of the type comprising an ironing plane (P), the upper surface of which comprises the ironing surface (S), arranged resting upon a support structure (T) standing on the floor. The extension element (1) comprises a structural element (2) in which a support plane (3) suitable for extending the ironing surface (S) is defined and provided, on the opposite side of said support plane (3), with guide tracks (4) that slidably couple in the edges (5) of the ironing plane (P).

Description

These and other advantages that shall be made clearer hereafter shall be outlined during the description of preferred embodiments given for indicating and not limiting purposes, with reference to the following tables of drawings, where:

FIG. 1 represents an ironing board comprising the extension element object of the invention in an exploded axonometric view;

FIG. 2 represents the extension element of the invention in an axonometric view;

FIG. 3 represents a detail of the operative step of the extension element of the invention.

Claims

1. Element (1) for extending the ironing surface (S) of an ironing board (A) of the type comprising an ironing plane (P), the upper surface of which comprises at least said ironing surface (S), arranged resting upon a support structure (T) standing on the floor, characterised in that it comprises a structural element (2) in which a support plane (3) suitable for extending said ironing surface (S) is defined and provided, on the opposite side of said support plane (3), with guide tracks (4) that slidably couple in the edges (5) of said ironing plane (P).

2. Extension element (1) according to claim 1, characterised in that said pair of guide tracks (4) each consist of a substantially laminar element (6) the cross section of which is substantially C-shaped.

3. Extension element (1) according to claim 1, characterised in that the lateral edges (5) of said ironing plane (P) define, at an end (8) of said ironing plane (P), converging axes of longitudinal extension (X, Y).

4. Extension element (1) according to claim 3, characterised in that said guide tracks (4) of said extension element (1) define converging axes of longitudinal extension (X′, Y′).

5. Extension element (1) according to claim 4, characterised in that the angle of convergence (α′) defined by said guide tracks (4) is at least equal to the angle of convergence (α) defined by said lateral edges (5) of said ironing plane (P).

6. Extension element (1) according to claim 1, characterised in that said support plane (3) is substantially rectangular shaped.

7. Extension element (1) according to claim 1, characterised in that the width of said support plane (3) is substantially equal to the width of said ironing plane (P).
