The accompanying engraving represents a convenient and inexpensive
table recently patented by Mr. Albert H. Hogins, of Morrisania, N. Y.
It is more especially designed for ironing, but it may be used for
other purposes when closed up. The top is made in two tapering
sections, A B. The section, B, is narrower than the other, and is
pivoted at its wider end to a bar, E, which slides into a socket
formed in the table. The table has five legs, one of which, D, is
attached to a sliding rail that supports the narrower end of the
movable part of the top. The table is provided with a drawer in one
end and with a tray, C, for containing blankets, etc.
[Illustration: HOGINS IMPROVED TABLE.]
The convenience and practicability of this table for general laundry
use, will be apparent without further explanation. The board, B, when
drawn out will be used for ironing skirts, shirts, and other garments
requiring a board of this character, and when the table is closed
together and fastened by the hooks, it may be used in ironing larger
articles. When closed it presents the appearance of an ordinary table
and may be used as such.
Further information may be obtained by addressing the inventor as
above.
