DOOR MOUNTED IRONING BOARD ASSEMBLY Abstract An ironing board assembly (10) for mounting on a standard door (D) in the home or the like includes a tubular mounting frame (11), a pivoted ironing board (12) on the frame and, if desired, a swinging cover (16) for enclosing the board and frame when not in use. The frame (11) is supported by at least one hanger bracket (15) extending over the top of the door. The bracket (15) includes an inverted U-shaped hook (20) and a second hook (21) extending in the opposite direction. A coupler section (22) in between provides a small included angle of approximately 6° between the hooks for pre-biasing the assembly so as to maintain it snug against the door during movement. A bent prong (24) rotatably fixes the second hook (21) to the frame (11). The ironing board (12) is supported in the horizontal operative position by a U-shaped support brace (30). One of the pivot pins (31a) mounting the brace (30) is flexible and engages a detent means for holding the board (12) in the retracted position. A tab (40) with a cam portion (40a) forms the detent means on the board frame and provides snap action retention when the board is raised. A plastic stop (45) on the board frame provides resiliency to absorb shock as the board moves to the operative position. The hinges (55) that support the auxiliary swinging cover (16) include a mounting block (S) and a hinge rod (56) that are interchangeable for the top and bottom. The block (S) for the hinge also serves as a spacer for the frame against the door. Suction cups (53) mounted on the frame (11) lock onto the door and serve to assist in securing the assembly against lateral movement across the door.
