Abstract
An iron cradling device for stabilizing an iron on an ironing board includes a first plate and a pair of second plates. The second plates are coupled to and extend perpendicularly from a top of the first plate to define a channel. The channel is complementary to a base of an iron. A plurality of couplers is coupled to the first plate. The couplers are configured to reversibly couple to an ironing board. The channel is configured to insert the base of the iron to stabilize the iron on the first plate. The couplers are configured to couple to the ironing board to couple the first plate to the ironing board.
Claims18
An iron cradling device comprising:
- a first plate;
- a pair of second plates coupled to and extending perpendicularly from a top of said first plate defining a channel complementary to a base of an iron;
- a plurality of couplers coupled to said first plate, said couplers being configured for reversibly coupling to an ironing board;
- wherein said second plates are positioned on said first plate such that said channel is configured for inserting the base of the iron for stabilizing the iron on said first plate, wherein said couplers are positioned on said first plate such that said couplers are configured for coupling to the ironing board for coupling the said first plate to the ironing board;
- said second plates extending transversely from a first edge toward a second edge of said first plate such that a wide end of said channel is positioned adjacent to said first edge and a narrow end of said channel is positioned proximate to a midpoint of said first plate;
- and
- a fastener coupled to said top of said first plate proximate to said narrow end of said channel, said fastener being configured for selectively coupling to a handle of the iron, wherein said fastener is positioned on said first plate such that said fastener is configured for coupling to the handle of the iron for retaining the iron within said channel.

An iron cradling device comprising:
- a first plate, said first plate being substantially rectangularly shaped, said first plate being dimensioned substantially complementarily to a flat end of an ironing board;
- a pair of second plates coupled to and extending perpendicularly from a top of said first plate defining a channel complementary to a base of an iron, wherein said second plates are positioned on said first plate such that said channel is configured for inserting the base of the iron for stabilizing the iron on said first plate, said second plates extending transversely from a first edge toward a second edge of said first plate such that a wide end of said channel is positioned adjacent to said first edge and a narrow end of said channel is positioned proximate to a midpoint of said first plate, said channel being centrally positioned on said first edge, said second plates being substantially rectangularly shaped;
- a pair of pads, said pads being shaped complementarily to said second plates, each said pad being coupled to an inside face of a respective said second plate, wherein said pads are positioned on said second plates such that said pads are configured for abutting the iron positioned in said channel, said pads comprising rubber;
- a plurality of couplers coupled to said first plate, said couplers being configured for reversibly coupling to an ironing board, wherein said couplers are positioned on said first plate such that said couplers are configured for coupling to the ironing board for coupling the said first plate to the ironing board, each said coupler comprising a bracket, said brackets being resilient, said brackets being L-shaped, wherein said brackets are positioned on said first plate such that said brackets are configured for deforming for inserting the ironing board and for rebounding for coupling said first plate to the ironing board, said brackets comprising rubber, said plurality of couplers comprising two said brackets positioned on said second edge, wherein said brackets are positioned on said first plate such that said brackets are configured for coupling to the flat end of the ironing board for coupling the said first plate to the ironing board with said brackets being positioned proximate to corners of the ironing board, said plurality of couplers comprising two said brackets positioned singly on opposing ends of said first plate, each said bracket being positioned substantially equally distant from said first edge and said second edge, wherein said brackets are positioned on said first plate such that said brackets are configured for coupling to opposing sides of the ironing board for coupling the said first plate to the ironing board;
- a fastener coupled to said top of said first plate proximate to said narrow end of said channel, said fastener being configured for selectively coupling to a handle of the iron, wherein said fastener is positioned on said first plate such that said fastener is configured for coupling to the handle of the iron for retaining the iron within said channel, said fastener comprising a rod and a ring, said rod being coupled to and extending from said first plate, said rod being selectively deformable, said ring being coupled to said rod distal from said first plate, said ring being open defining a slot, wherein said rod is positioned on said first plate such that said rod is configured for bending such that said slot is configured for inserting the handle of the iron into said ring for retaining the iron within said channel;
- a cutout positioned in said first plate, said cutout being positioned in said second edge proximate to a respective corner of said first plate, said cutout being arcuate;
- a wire having opposing endpoints, each said opposing endpoint being coupled to said first plate adjacent to said cutout defining a loop, wherein said wire is positioned on said first plate such that said loop is configured for inserting a power cord of the iron for guiding the power cord;
- a holder coupled to said second edge of said first plate, said holder being complementary to a cup, wherein said holder is positioned on said first plate such that said holder is configured for inserting the cup for coupling the cup to said first plate, said holder being centrally positioned on said second edge;
- and
- wherein said brackets are positioned on said second edge and said opposing ends of said first plate such that said brackets are configured for deforming for inserting the ironing board and for rebounding for coupling said first plate to the ironing board, wherein said second plates are positioned on said first plate such that said channel is configured for inserting the base of the iron for stabilizing the iron on said first plate, wherein said pads are positioned on said second plates such that said pads are configured for abutting the iron positioned in said channel, wherein said rod is positioned on said first plate such that said rod is configured for bending such that said slot is configured for inserting the handle of the iron for retaining the iron within said channel, wherein said wire is positioned on said first plate such that said loop is configured for inserting the power cord of the iron for guiding the power cord.
