Abstract
A portable and adjustable ironing board system in which the ironing board may be securely affixed to a door is shown. The ironing board system of the present invention includes a singular support tube extending along the height of the door and securely attached to both upper and lower edges of the door. The ironing board system has an adjustable ironing board height and the singular support tube is adjustable to securely affix the tube to the door. The ironing board may be placed in the useful horizontal position or in the stored vertical position. The design of the ironing board system provides that the rear end of the ironing board slides along the support tube in a manner such that when in the vertical stored position the upper surface of the ironing board is facing outward. The ironing board can be locked in the downward horizontal position or in the stored vertical position by locking clamps. Further adjustment of the ironing board are allowed by the use of adjustment feet on the support frame.
