Abstract

A garment ironing assembly includes a panel that has a top side, a bottom side and a perimeter edge. The perimeter edge includes a front edge, a back edge, a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge. A pair of first extensions each is hingedly coupled to the bottom side. Each of the first extensions is selectively positionable and releasably retained in an extended position. One of the first extensions is extendable outwardly from the first lateral edge and one of the first extensions is extendable outwardly from the second lateral edge. Each of the first extensions is positioned adjacent to the front edge. Each of the first extensions is angled away from the front end when the first extensions are in the extended position. A support structure is attached to and extends downwardly from the bottom side of the panel to support the panel above a support surface.

Dependent claims

A garment ironing assembly configured for supporting a shirt to be ironed, said assembly comprising:

a panel having a top side, a bottom side and a perimeter edge, said perimeter edge including a front edge, a back edge, a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge;
a pair of first extensions each being hingedly coupled to said bottom side, each of said first extensions having a first end, a second end, a top surface and a bottom surface, each of said first extensions being selectively positionable and releasably retained in an extended position having said top surface lying being co-planar with said top side, one of said first extensions being extendable outwardly from said first lateral edge and one of said first extensions being extendable outwardly from said second lateral edge, each of said first extensions being positioned adjacent to said front edge, each of said first extensions being angled away from said front end when said first extensions are in said extended position, each of said first extensions being positionable in a non-extended position extending downwardly from said top side such that said top surfaces form a perpendicular angle with said first ends positioned vertically below said second ends;
a support structure being attached to and extending downwardly from said bottom side of said panel to support said panel above a support surface;
said front edge consisting of a pair of linear portions and a concavely arcuate portion, each of said first and second lateral edges abutting one of said linear portions, said concavely arcuate portion being positioned between said linear portions, said concavely arcuate portion defining a semi-circular groove extending toward said back edge.
