Abstract
Abstract An ironing board for counter or table top attachment including an elongate main member for receiving the article being ironed. A pair of arms carry a disk which is beveled about its perimeter for wedged engagement with a pair of undercut rails affixed to the underside of the elongate main member to permit positioning of the elongate main member to best suit the user. A clamping arm is carried by the pair of arms and is upwardly engageable with the lip or overhang of the counter or table top. A handwheel and shaft permit upward urging of the clamping arm. A modified form of the present ironing board utilizes a clamping arm having a free end segment of reduced width to permit clamped engagement with a counter top between adjacent drawers below the counter.
