A wall mounted ironing board cabinet has a door on two-way sliders enabling cabinet “opened-to-the-right,” “closed” and “opened-to-the-left” conditions. The sliding door and ironing board hardware afford a cabinet which maximizes the number of possible locations of the cabinet in a room, minimizes the depth of the protrusion of the closed cabinet into the room and renders the door outer surface adaptable to uses unrelated to the storage and support of an ironing board. The ironing board hardware also allows user selection of the ironing board surface level from multiple available intervals.

1. A wall mounted ironing board comprising: an orthogonal cabinet having top, bottom, side and back walls, said side walls having mirror-image channels in lower inside surfaces thereof, each said channel having a vertical passage spaced from said back wall and having a vertical array of lateral passages, each of said lateral passages extending forwardly and upwardly from its respective one of said vertical passages;a door covering an open front of, and attached by two-way sliders to, said cabinet, said sliders permitting said door to slide into and out of any of “cabinet-opened-to-the-right,” “cabinet-closed” and “cabinet-opened-to-the-left” conditions;an ironing board having pivot pins aligned on a common axis, each said pin protruding laterally from its respective side of a rear end of said ironing board for sliding engagement in said channels; anda linkage connected at one end thereof to said cabinet and at another end thereof to an underside of said ironing board;whereby, when said ironing board is rotated about said axis of said pins to a vertical “storage” orientation in said cabinet, said door can slide out of said “cabinet-opened-to-the-right” and “cabinet-opened-to-the-left” conditions into said “cabinet-closed” condition and, when said door is slid into one of said “cabinet-opened-to-the-right” and “cabinet-opened-to-the-left” conditions, said ironing board can rotate about said axis of said pins into a horizontal “use” orientation, an elevation of said board being a level of that pair of said opposed lateral passages of said cabinet into which said pins are slid, said linkage being operable to maintain and release said board in and from said horizontal “use” orientation. 2. A wall mounted ironing board comprising: an orthogonal cabinet having top, bottom, side and back walls, said side walls having mirror-image channels in lower inside surfaces thereof, each said channel having a vertical passage spaced from said back wall and having a vertical array of lateral passages, each of said lateral passages extending forwardly and upwardly from its respective one of said vertical passages;a door covering an open front of, and attached by two-way sliders to, said cabinet, said sliders permitting said door to slide into and out of any of “cabinet-opened-to-the-right,” “cabinet-closed” and “cabinet-opened-to-the-left” conditions;an ironing board having pivot pins aligned on a common axis, each said pin protruding laterally from its respective side of a rear end of said ironing board for sliding engagement in said channels; anda linkage connected at one end thereof to said cabinet and at another end thereof to an underside of said ironing board, said linkage comprising: opposed mirror-image channels on said underside of said ironing board, said channels having a main passage parallel to said board and an array of transverse passages extending from said main passage toward a deck of said ironing board, a number of transverse passages in said ironing board channels corresponding to a number of lateral passages in said cabinet side wall channels; anda rod pivotally connected at one end thereof to said cabinet and having at another end thereof a cross rod in T-configuration, ends of said cross rod being engaged to slide in said opposed mirror-image channels;said transverse passages being at intervals graduated to coordinate with said lateral passages so that said board is maintained in said horizontal “use” orientation when said cross rod of said linkage is engaged in that one of said transverse passages which corresponds to that one of said lateral passages in which said pins are engaged;whereby, when said ironing board is rotated about said axis of said pins to a vertical “storage” orientation in said cabinet, said door can slide out of said “cabinet-opened-to-the-right” and “cabinet-opened-to-the-left” conditions into said “cabinet-closed” condition and, when said door is slid into one of said “cabinet-opened-to-the-right” and “cabinet-opened-to-the-left” conditions, said ironing board can rotate about said axis of said pins into a horizontal “use” orientation, an elevation of said board being a level of that pair of said opposed lateral passages of said cabinet into which said pins are slid, said linkage being operable to maintain and release said board in and from said horizontal “use” orientation. 3. A wall mounted ironing board comprising: an orthogonal cabinet having mirror-image channels in lower inside surfaces of opposite side walls thereof, each said channel having a vertical passage and a vertical array of lateral passages, each of said lateral passages extending forwardly and upwardly from its respective one of said vertical passages;a door covering an open front of said cabinet;an ironing board having pivot pins aligned on a common axis, each said pin protruding laterally from its respective side of a rear end of said ironing board for sliding engagement in said channels;opposed mirror-image channels on said underside of said ironing board, said channels having a main passage parallel to said board and an array of transverse passages extending from said main passage toward a deck of said ironing board, a number of transverse passages in said ironing board channels corresponding to a number of aid lateral passages in said opposed cabinet side wall channels; anda rod pivotally connected at one end thereof to said cabinet and having at another end thereof a cross rod in T-configuration, ends of said cross rod being engaged to slide in said opposed mirror-image channels;said transverse passages being at intervals graduated to coordinate with said lateral passages so that said board is maintained in a horizontal “use” orientation when said cross rod is engaged in that one of said transverse passages which corresponds to that one of said lateral passages in which said pins are engaged.
