DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0036] The carrying element (3) of the invention is formed in connection with the ironing surface (1) that belongs to the ironing board. The carrying element (3) is in the form of a reservoir that allows storing additional objects.

[0037] The reservoir comprises at least a plate guide (4) within its structure. The plate guides (4) define the mounting guides that allow movable plates (5) to be assembled and disassembled.

[0038] In the case that users do not place any movable plates (5)inside the carrying element (3) the largest reservoir area will be obtained. In this case, users can place additional large objects inside the reservoir.

[0039] When only 1 of the movable plates (5)is placed on the plate guides (4) 2 chambers will have been created in the reservoir which defines the carrying element (3) allowing different additional objects to be stored in two reservoirs.

[0040] When user places the 2 movable plates (5) on the plate guides (4), 3 chambers will be created in the reservoir that defines the carrying element (3). In this case, a user can easily store different additional objects in the carrying element.

[0041] FIG. 2 defines the carrying element (3), which has been equipped with several plate guides (4). This embodiment allows to form different sized and numbered chambers inside the reservoir.

[0042] According to FIG. 2 the plate guides (4) are located on the inner surface walls of the reservoir that forms the carrying element (3). As length of each movable plate (5) has a size that allows click fitting of the plates into the plate guides (4) firmly, the movable plates (5) will be able attached and detached into the plate guides (4) without carrying out an assembly-disassembly procedure.

[0043] According to FIG. 1 the ironing board comprises an iron holder (2) which is a part of the ironing surface (1). The iron holder (2), defines the surface on which the iron can be placed when it is not being used.

[0044] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the carrying element (3) defines a structure that is formed along the ironing surface (1). When considered in detail, the embodiments where the carrying element (3) is a part of the iron holder (2) is among preferred embodiments.

[0045] According to FIG. 2, the iron holder (2) is equipped with a belt (6). The belt (6) defines a fixing element that couples the iron to the ironing surface (1).
