Ironing board expansion platform

A method for expanding the area of an ironing board surface comprising the steps of:

• a. lying a shirt across a flat surface;
• b. sketching an outline along the outside edges of said shirt's yoke, where said outline creates a template;
• c. using the template to create a tubular frame, where the tubular frame includes a first wing portion and a second wing portion;
• d. using the template to create a platform surface, where the platform surface includes a first wing portion and a second wing portion;
• e. affixing the platform surface to the tubular frame where the outer edges of the platform surface and the tubular frame align and create a platform assembly;
• and
• f. using an adjustment means to secure the platform assembly onto a converging end of an ironing board, where said adjustment means enables the platform assembly to securely attach to various ironing board sizes.

An expansion platform assembly comprising:

• a. a tubular frame where said tubular frame includes a first wing portion, where said first wing portion includes a substantially parabolic upper outer edge and a curved inner edge said and a second wing portion, where said second wing portion includes a substantially parabolic upper outer edge and a curved inner edge;
• b. a platform surface, said platform surface having symmetrical substantially parabolic upper outer edges, where the tubular frame is affixed to a first side of said platform surface, where said outer edge of said platform surface aligns with said outer edge of the tubular frame;
• c. a cavity, where said cavity lies between the curved inner edges of the tubular frame and the first side of said platform surface, wherein said cavity receives an ironing board at a converging edge of said ironing board;
• d. an adjustment means attached to the tubular frame where said adjustment means extends into the cavity and abuts the converging edges of the ironing board.

An expansion platform assembly comprising:

• a. a tubular frame where said tubular frame includes a first wing portion, where said first wing portion includes a substantially parabolic upper outer edge and a curved inner edge said and a second wing portion, where said second wing portion includes a substantially parabolic upper outer edge and a curved inner edge;
• b. a platform surface, said platform surface having symmetrical substantially parabolic upper outer edges, where the tubular frame is affixed to a first side of said platform surface, where said outer edge of said platform surface aligns with said outer edge of the tubular frame and forms a platform assembly;
• c. a cavity, where said cavity lies between the curved inner edges of the tubular frame and the first side of said platform surface, wherein said cavity receives an ironing board at a converging edge of said ironing board;
• d. at least two contact extensions extending into the cavity from the inner edges of the tubular frame;
• and
• e. a cross member extending across the cavity, where said cross member and contact extensions provide a means to securely attach the platform assembly to the converging edge of the ironing board.
