Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of garment ironing technology, and in particular to a multifunctional ironing board and a vertical garment steamer. Background Technology

[0002] An ironing board is an auxiliary tool used in the home for ironing clothes. It usually consists of a panel, support legs, and a sliding structure, and is typically made of materials such as environmentally friendly soft pads and steel pipe frames.

[0003] Currently, ironing boards are divided into two types: hanging ironing boards and flat ironing boards. Flat ironing boards are horizontal when in operation, which is suitable for ironing large areas of clothing (such as bed sheets and coats) to prevent the clothes from drooping and creating new wrinkles. However, workers need to bend over when working with them, which puts a heavy burden on their backs. Hanging ironing boards are vertical when in operation, which allows workers to stand and iron, reducing the burden on their backs. However, gaps can easily form between the clothes and the hanging ironing board, causing wrinkles to form on the clothes.

[0004] Therefore, current ironing boards have limited functionality and are inconvenient to use, and urgently need improvement. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a multifunctional ironing board and a vertical garment steamer to improve the convenience of using the ironing board.

[0025] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0026] This utility model discloses a multi-functional ironing board with three functions: flat placement, hanging placement, and tilting placement. Flat placement allows the ironing board to be placed directly on the work surface for ironing clothes, suitable for flat ironing of large areas of clothing (such as bed sheets and coats), preventing new wrinkles from forming due to sagging. By installing hooks on the back of the ironing board, it can be hung vertically on a base for hanging ironing, allowing workers to iron while standing, reducing strain on the back. Furthermore, by installing supports on the back of the ironing board, it can be adjusted from a vertical to a tilted position, allowing it to be tilted on the base. This reduces back strain while ensuring the clothing naturally conforms to the surface of the ironing board, making it particularly suitable for handling three-dimensional areas such as shirt collars and cuffs, further enhancing the convenience of using the multi-functional ironing board. Ultimately, this provides the multi-functional ironing board with multiple working modes, improving its versatility. Attached Figure Description

[0042] The following reference Figures 1 to 6 This invention describes the multifunctional ironing board and vertical garment steamer provided by this utility model.

[0043] Reference Figure 1The vertical garment steamer includes a base, a support frame 4, and a multi-functional ironing board that can be hung on the support frame 4. Specifically, the support frame 4 is vertically connected to the base and has two support rods 41. A clothes hanger 42 is fixed to the top of the support frame 4 and has hooks 421. Optionally, in some other embodiments, the clothes hanger 42 fixed to the top of the support frame 4 can be omitted, and an additional clothes hanger can be hung on the top of the support frame 4. A steam heater and a steam nozzle are also connected to the base. The steam nozzle is connected to the steam outlet of the steam heater via a steam conduit, thereby using the steam emitted from the steam nozzle to iron the clothes.

[0044] This multi-functional ironing board is designed to provide three working modes: flat, hanging, and angled. This allows the multi-functional ironing board to have three ironing functions: flat ironing, hanging ironing, and angled ironing. The corresponding function can be selected according to different clothes and different ironing needs, thereby improving the convenience of using the multi-functional ironing board. For the specific structure of this multi-functional ironing board, please refer to the following content of this embodiment.

[0045] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The multi-functional ironing board includes an ironing board body 1, a hook 2, and a support member 3. The ironing board body 1 can be placed on a table surface; the hook 2 is located on the back of the ironing board body 1 and can be suspended from a base having a rod or connecting hook; the support member 3 is rotatably located on the back of the ironing board body 1, and the support member 3 and the hook 2 are spaced apart along the length of the ironing board body 1. The support member 3 has a retracted state where it rotates to fit against the back of the ironing board body 1 and a supported state where it abuts against the base; wherein, after the hook 2 is suspended from the base, the support member 3 is in the retracted state (see reference). Figure 1 When the ironing board body 1 is vertically positioned, the support member 3 is in a supported state (refer to...). Figure 2 When the ironing board body 1 is tilted, the ironing board body 1 is tilted.

[0046] As described above, the multi-functional ironing board has the function of lying flat (refer to...). Figure 4 ), hanging (refer to) Figure 1 ) and diagonally placed (refer to) Figure 2The ironing board features three working modes: flat placement (where the ironing board 1 is placed directly on the work surface for flat ironing, suitable for ironing large areas of clothing (such as sheets and coats) without causing new wrinkles); hanging placement (where the ironing board 1 is hung vertically on the base for hanging ironing, allowing the worker to iron while standing, reducing back strain); and tilting placement (where the support 3 is rotated from the folded-up position to the supported position, adjusting the ironing board 1 from a vertical to a tilted position, further reducing back strain and allowing the clothing to naturally conform to the surface of the ironing board 1, especially suitable for handling three-dimensional areas such as shirt collars and cuffs, further enhancing the convenience of the multi-functional ironing board; ultimately improving the applicability and ease of use of the multi-functional ironing board.

[0047] Reference Figure 5 Furthermore, the ironing board body 1 includes two hinged plates 12. It can be understood that the two plates 12 are distributed along the length of the ironing board body 1, and are hinged together on adjacent sides via a pivot, allowing the ironing board body 1 to be unfolded into a coplanar unfolded state and to be folded into a state where the two plates 12 overlap along their thickness direction. Folding the ironing board body 1 reduces its length, thus facilitating the storage and transportation of the multi-functional ironing board.

[0048] For example, in this embodiment, the base is a support frame 4, and multiple hooks 2 are connected to the back of the ironing board body 1. The hooks 2 are located at one end of the length direction of the ironing board body 1, and the multiple hooks 2 are distributed at intervals along the width direction of the ironing board body 1, so that the ironing board body 1 is suspended on the hook 421 by the multiple hooks 2, so that the ironing board body 1 is suspended more stably.

[0049] To improve the stability of the ironing board body 1 during suspension, a first buckle 11 is connected to the back of the ironing board body 1. Multiple sets of the first buckle 11 are arranged at intervals along the length of the ironing board body 1. When the support member 3 is in the retracted state, the first buckle 11 is fastened to the support rod 41, so that the suspended ironing board body 1 is less likely to shake, thereby improving the stability of the ironing board body 1 during the ironing process.

[0050] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6Specifically, the support member 3 is located at the end of the ironing board body 1 away from the hook 2. The support member 3 includes a rotating part 31, a supporting part 32, and a connecting part 33. The rotating part 31 is rotatably connected to the back of the ironing board body 1, and the rotation axis of the rotating part 31 is perpendicular to the length direction of the ironing board body 1. In this embodiment, the rotating part 31 is rod-shaped, and the rotation axis of the rotating part 31 coincides with the axial direction of the rotating part 31, and two are arranged at intervals and coaxially. At least one supporting part 32 is provided for each rotating part 31, that is, multiple supporting parts 32 are arranged at intervals along the rotation axis of the rotating part 31. In this embodiment, one is taken as an example. One end of the supporting part 32 is connected to one end of the rotating part 31. The supporting part 32 is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the rotating part 31, so that when the supporting part 32 rotates to the state of fitting the ironing board body 1, the support member 3 is in a retracted state. When the supporting part 32 rotates to abut against the supporting rod 41, the supporting member 3 is in a supported state, and the ironing board body 1 is in an inclined state.

[0051] Furthermore, when the support member 3 is in the supported state, the angle between the support part 32 and the back of the ironing board body 1 is greater than or equal to 90 degrees. This makes it less likely for the support part 32 to rotate in the retracted direction after it is opened, thus improving the stability of the support. In this embodiment, when the support member 3 is in the supported state, the angle between the support part 32 and the back of the ironing board body 1 is preferably 90 degrees, that is, the support part 32 and the ironing board body 1 are in a perpendicular state, so that the support part 32 is in the optimal supported state. It should be noted that when the support member 3 is in the supported state, the angle between the ironing board body 1 and the vertical plane is 10 degrees. In some other embodiments, the angle may also be 15 degrees or 20 degrees, and the specific angle can be selected as needed.

[0052] Furthermore, the connecting part 33 is spaced apart from the rotating part 31 and connected to the other end of all the supporting parts 32, so that the connecting part 33 directly abuts against the support rod 41, preventing misalignment between the supporting part 32 and the support rod 41 and improving the reliability of the support member 3.

[0053] In addition, to improve the stability of the ironing board body 1 when it is hung at an angle, a second buckle 34 is connected to the support member 3. When the support member 3 is in the supported state, the second buckle 34 can be fastened to the base. Specifically, in this embodiment, multiple second buckles 34 are connected to the connecting part 33 so that when the support member 3 is in the supported state, the second buckles 34 are fastened to the support rod 41 to prevent the ironing board body 1 from shaking.

[0054] It is worth noting that in this embodiment, the rotating part 31, the supporting part 32, and the connecting part 33 are integrally formed, and the connection between the rotating part 31 and the supporting part 32, as well as the connection between the supporting part 32 and the connecting part 33, are all arc-shaped transitions, specifically formed by bending the tubing, thereby ensuring the structural strength of the supporting member 3. Optionally, in some other embodiments, the rotating part 31, the supporting part 32, and the connecting part 33 can also be manufactured separately and then connected together.

[0055] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
