Abstract: An ironing board that folds in half to occupy only about one half its extended length to facilitate packaging and storage. An iron rest can be slid to latch the folded front and rear sections of the board. The board has front and rear legs allowing it to be set up on top of a table. The rear legs incorporate clamp mechanisms that allow the ironing board to be clamped onto a table edge so that clothing that is being pressed can hang freely from the edges of the ironing board without bunching up on the table top.

Abstract: A foot operated laundry hamper having a knock down frame and a special bag for the frame. Base sections of the frame include front and rear bars mounted on feet and side bars that are connected by coil springs. Detachable legs extending from the base support top sections having bars and arms on the side that detachably connect with the legs. A flexible laundry bag is provided on its top edge with pockets that fit snugly on the top bar sections. The springs normally hold the top bars together to close the top of the laundry bag. When the front bar on the base is depressed by a foot, the springs deform and pull the top bars apart to open the bag for the receipt of laundry. The frame disassembles for compact packaging.
