Abstract: A stool is provided for placement in a closet and which may be selectively extended or stored away. The stool comprises a horizontal support and a seat rotatably attached to the horizontal support. A first leg is attached to the horizontal support, and a swing arm is rotatably attached to the horizontal support. A second leg is attached to the swing arm at an end opposite from the horizontal support. A mounting flange pivotally connects the horizontal support to a closet partition or wall. The three pivot points (i.e., the seat, the swing arm, and the horizontal support) allow for the stool to be selectively moved between a storage position in which the stool is stored in the closet and a use position.

Abstract: An ironing board center is mounted in a custom closet and occupies less than 10″ of the closet. The ironing board center includes a pivot arm which is mounted to a side wall or divider of the closet, an extension arm journaled about the pivot arm and is movable axially and rotatably relative to the pivot arm, and an ironing board which is fixed to the extension arm. A pivot stop holds the pivot arm in a generally horizontal plane when the ironing board is pivoted down. A rotation stop prevents the ironing board from rotating relative to the pivot arm, and maintains the ironing board in a substantially horizontal position when the ironing board is lowered. An extension lock maintains the extension arm in the extended position. A spring clip engages the extension arm or pivot arm to hold the ironing board in its upright, storage position.
