Abstract: A head strap for helmets, particularly welders' helmets, is configured in three parts and can therefore be provided with a separate forehead band. The head strap offers the possibility of connecting the helmet with the head strap in resilient or fixed manner, and, in this connection, of displacing the helmet relative to the head strap and/or rotating it between defined positions. Additional convenient adjustment possibilities for the back-of-the-head band and the head band are also implemented.

Abstract: To permit easy attachment, removal, and repositioning of a rest plate of a potentially hot flat iron on an ironing board (1, 31), forming an accessory element, the iron rest plate (4, 37) is placed above the ironing board, which typically includes a padding (34, 35). The attachment to the board is by a cam or eccenter clamp (3, 36) which has a portion (6, 39) extending and projecting beneath a rim of the ironing board (1, 31), and essentially partly in alignment with the iron rest plate above the ironing board. The accessory is U-shaped, with the iron rest plate (4, 37) above the ironing board, a connecting carrier portion (38) essentially at the base of the U, and a clamping portion extending beneath the ironing board and beyond the edge thereof, which typically is a channel or similar construction projecting downwardly from the plane of the ironing board. The clamping portion reaches behind this edge and thus, essentially, is in part-alignment with the iron rest plate (4, 37).

Abstract: To provide an ergonometrically correct ironing board (2) which can be readily folded and retained in folded position, the legs (7, 8) of the ironing board are coupled at a cross-over shaft (9) and each connected to a spacer element (18, 19) in which the spacer element is formed with a recess or groove or notch (17). A hand-operable height-positioning lever (15) which is coupled to a height adjustment mechanism (5, 4, 12, 13, 14) is also coupled to a locking lever (16) having a locking tip (22) engageable with the recess or groove or notch (17) in the spacer elements which are coupled to the legs (7, 8) when the legs are folded together. The locking lever (16) is spring-loaded to retain the legs in folded position; upon operating the height positioning lever (15), the lock is automatically released. For universal ironing convenience, the ironing board has a straight front side (67) which has a curved blunt end (69) with a curve radius of about 350 mm.
