Ironing board top and ironing board including the same

摘要

An ironing board top made of a one-piece body of molded hard foam plastics material such as polypropylene. The hard foam plastics material may have a closed-cell structure. Guide and bearing rails may be integrally formed on the molded body to movably connect an ironing stand to the molded body. In the alternative, the guide and bearing rails may be separate from the molded body and then connected thereto. The molded body may include indentations and/or protuberances formed on a lower surface for receiving components of the ironing stand such as the legs of the ironing stand. One or more layers such as a thermal-radiation-reflecting coating can be provided on the upper surface of the ironing board top. An ironing board includes the ironing board top and a stand.
