Abstract: An ironing board assembly for mounting on a standard door in the home or the like includes a tubular mounting frame, a pivoted ironing board on the frame and, if desired, a swinging cover for enclosing the board and frame when not in use. The frame is supported by at least one hanger bracket adapted to extend over the top of the door. The bracket includes an inverted U-shaped hook and a second hook extending in the opposite direction. A coupler section in between provides a small included angle of approximately 6.degree. between the hooks for pre-biasing the assembly so as to maintain it snug against the door. A bent prong rotatably fixes the second hook to the frame. The ironing board is supported in the horizontal operative position by a U-shaped support brace. One of the pivot pins mounting the brace is flexible and engages a tab with a cam portion forming a detent providing snap action retention when the board is raised. A plastic stop absorbs shock as the board moves to the operative position.

One of the pivot pins mounting the brace is flexible and engages a detent for holding the board in the retracted position.
