Abstract: A hamper assembly is provided having a tubular support frame and a mating bag. The frame comprises crossed first and second substantially rectangular sections that are coupled at the crossing points of the sections by elastomeric rings permitting pivotal movement, as well as lateral and longitudinal flexibility. A mating hamper bag is supported by the tubular frame and has two fabric side panels and a continuous U-shaped panel of mesh material that forms the two ends and bottom of the bag. The side panels are attached to loops along their upper edges that receive the top tubes of the hamper frame. A U-shaped stretch panel is attached along the lower edge of each side panel and extends around and under each bottom tube of the frame. With the hamper fully open, the stretch panel stretches the bottom panel to maximize the capacity of the bag. As the hamper is opened and closed, the bottom tubes slide on the stretch panel.

Abstract: A rectangular bag support frame is formed of extruded thermoplastic pipes and molded thermoplastic Y-joints. The joints and pipes form upper and lower parallel frames with a bag receiving cavity. The upper joints each have radially outwardly extending coplanar flanges forming a channel region for capturing the draw string edge region of a collapsible bag to be temporarily secured to the upper frame. The bag is supported by the frame at the bag edge regions which are wrapped about the upper frame with the draw string loop captured by the joint flanges. The draw string is then tightened to secure the bag upper end to the upper frame while the bag contained in the frame cavity is filled, the upper frame keeping the bag open for filling.

Abstract: An ironing board assembly for mounting on a standard door includes a tubular mounting frame, a pivoted ironing board on the frame and retractable holders on the frame to secure the assembly with respect to the face of the door to resist lateral shifting during ironing and during swinging of the door when the assembly is not in use. The frame is supported by brackets over the top of the door. The holders are mounted on the frame adjacent the bottom and include an integral suction cup and ring. The ring pivots on the tubular frame for retracting to a position substantially within the lateral profile of the frame for protection during handling, such as shipping, but readily positionable through 90.degree. and facing the door during use.

Abstract: An adjustable ironing table (11) includes a top board (12) and collapsible legs (14,16). The legs are retained in a stored position by a lock mechanism (60) that has a lock plate (68) spring biased to a locking position. A handle (72) can be operated to release the lock plate (68). The top board (12) has a mesh section (30) that has a stepped periphery (32) welded to a flange section (36) of a tubular frame member (35). The ends (37) of the frame member are affixed together by a bracket (41) welded to each end. A hanger rail (90) is pivotably mounted under the frame (34) to move between a stored position and a usable position. A pair of cord elevation devices (114) are mounted to the hanger rail (90).
