Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention not only prevents accidents caused by overheating of the iron while it is being used, but also allows the hot iron to be stored in the box immediately after use, and can be used immediately on the furniture without leaving the box. The present invention relates to an iron storage box (hereinafter simply referred to as an iron storage box) that can be stored in furniture that can be stored in a desk or the like.

Conventional iron storage boxes have a simple box body made of wood, silicone resin, plastic, etc., which not only makes it impossible to store a hot iron immediately after use, but also makes it impossible to store the iron immediately after use. Since it cannot be stored inside furniture, it has the disadvantage of causing inconvenience to busy household chores.

Furthermore, in the past, when using an iron, the iron could overheat due to forgetting to turn it off and leaving the iron unused, leading to accidents and fires, but conventional iron storage boxes were not equipped with any equipment to prevent this.

In other words, a hot iron that has just been used will cool down (1
(It takes about 1 hour and 3 inches for it to reach room temperature at 50℃), or until you realize that you forgot to turn it off when the iron is out of use. There is a risk of accidental burns to children, etc., of the iron stand itself becoming scorched, of contact with flexible objects, of the iron itself tipping over, and eventually of a fire. was there.

All of these problems were caused not only by the inability to safely store a hot iron immediately after use in an iron storage box and into furniture such as a desk, but also by forgetting to turn off the iron when using the iron. This shortcoming was due to the lack of precautionary measures for the ironing box.

Subsequently, the present invention eliminates all the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional iron storage box, and to explain this with a diagram, the electrical equipment section 2 is attached to the box body 1 with the protrusion 5 on the corner section 4. and a housing part 3, and the electrical equipment part 2 is provided with an outlet 6,
It is equipped with a timer switch 7, a hot water arrival interlocking stopper 8, a pilot lamp 9, a buzzer 10, etc.

The accommodating part 3 is equipped with a removable front-loading bath 13 having a handle 11 and a ventilation window 12, and an inner surface 14 and a gap 15 are maintained inside the front-loading bath 13 to provide a ventilation window. A non-combustible inner plate 18 is provided with a ventilation hole 16 facing the inner surface 12 and a rising edge 17 on the peripheral edge, and an inner surface 19 and a gap 1 are formed in the housing part 3.
This iron storage box A is provided with a plain inner box 20 that holds 5, an opening periphery 21 of the plain inner box 20 is connected to a box plate 22, and a connecting part 23 is provided with a ventilation hole 24.

In this case, the entire surface of the ventilation window 12 and the ventilation hole 16 may be a grid-like structure or a mesh-like structure.

To use this iron storage box A, take out the iron storage box A that is stored in a drawer style on furniture B such as a desk as in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1
Pull 1 to open the door and take out the stored iron C.

At this time, as shown in FIG. 4, the front-folding lid group 13 with the front-folding open door stops on a plane a including the protrusions 5, 5, etc., that is, a desk surface or a tatami surface. Since it has the height H, the forward folding lid group 13 is kept horizontal after opening, and can be used also as an ironing stand.

Then, when you insert the cord plug of iron C into the outlet 6 and turn the timer switch 7, the outlet 6 of the electrical equipment section 2, the hot water interlocking stopper 8, and the pilot lamp 9
, the buzzer 10, etc. are configured to be energized, so the pilot lamp 9 lights up and the iron C is heated, and even if the iron C is left unused or in use, when the set time is reached, the timer switch 7 is activated and the energization is canceled. is,
The pilot lamp 9 goes out.

Next, the used iron C is stored in the storage section 3 and the forward-folding lid group 13 is closed, but at this time, the front-folding hot water side edge presses the top of the door interlocking stopper 8 to cut off the electricity.

(On the other hand, when the door is opened to take out the iron, power is applied to the outlet 6 as the door opens).

In order to store the iron storage box A containing the iron C in a furniture B such as a desk, it is inserted into the storage recess B like a normal desk drawer, but at this time, the protrusions 5, 5...・・・
The mutual distances w and iXh are slightly smaller than the inner lengths Wl, 11, and hl of the storage recess B1, respectively, so each protrusion 5, 5, . . . The back plate 25 properly contacts and slides on the inner surfaces of the floor plate 26 and ceiling plate 27 at location B1.

As shown in Fig. 4, the air heated by the iron C stored in furniture B, such as a desk, is ventilated to the outside air through the ventilation hole 16 and the transparent window 12, and is also ventilated against each inner surface of the storage recess a. As shown in FIG. 4, the heated air between the gap 28 and the gap 15 on the side that is connected flows as shown by the arrow from the upper ventilation hole 32 and the ventilation hole 24 of the connecting part 23, and is discharged to the outside. External cold air flows in and circulates through the lower ventilation hole 32 and the lower ventilation hole 24 of the connecting part 23, and quickly cools the iron C.

The stored iron will cool down efficiently once the timer goes off, the door is closed, and the electricity is turned off, but in the unlikely event that these do not work and the temperature inside the iron box rises abnormally. A buzzer linked to the thermostat installed inside the iron storage box will sound to warn you.

Further, the forward-folding lid group 13 is removable, and if this is shown in an embodiment, as shown in FIG. Since it can be freely inserted into and removed from the ironing board 31, the forward-folding door 13 can be placed at any location and used as an ironing board.

As described above, the iron storage box of the present invention has a double inner box inside the storage part of the box body and an inner inner plate inside the forward-folding lid door, each with a gap between them, so that it can be used immediately after use. Not only can even a hot iron be immediately stored in the iron storage box, but the iron storage box can also be easily stored in furniture such as a desk, which has the remarkable effect of not interfering with busy household chores.

Not only that, even if you forget to turn off the iron when using the iron and leave the iron unused, the timer switch will activate after a certain period of time, so there will be no chance of the iron overheating and causing any accidents such as burns, charring, or fire. In addition, the pilot lamp lights up while the iron is on, so you can know from a distance that the iron is on and turn off the iron immediately.This, combined with the timer switch, is very effective in saving electricity.

When you finish ironing, store the iron in the storage compartment and close the front-folding lid group, the M door interlocking stopper automatically de-energizes the electrical equipment, so you can continue ironing even if the timer switch is not turned off. energized,
In addition to being more effective in terms of safety, even if these do not work and the temperature inside the iron storage box rises abnormally, a buzzer will sound and issue a warning, so even if you are far away, you will not be able to see your eyes again. There is a way for even free people to know this.

In addition, while the iron is stored, you can always see the iron body directly through the ventilation holes and ventilation windows in the forward-folding lid group, so even if the iron becomes too hot, it can be easily detected and an accident can be prevented. It has the advantage of being preventable.

Note that these ventilation holes and ventilation windows are only provided in the front folding layer on the front of the box, so no other storage furniture is placed in front of furniture such as desks (when placed, it is difficult to put in and take out the iron). Therefore, if other storage devices are placed, such as when a ventilation hole is provided on the side or top of the iron storage box, the stored iron cannot be seen through the ventilation hole or ventilation window, or the ventilation inside the box may be blocked. It has the advantage of avoiding the drawbacks that hinder it.

By bringing your hand close to the ventilation holes and windows, you can feel how cool the iron is.

The removable front-folding layer can be used as an ironing stand with the door open, or can be removed and used freely on a desk.
Not only is it convenient to be able to iron on a desk while the iron storage box is stored inside a desk or other piece of furniture, but the forward-folding layer that serves as an ironing stand is designed to be placed in a space that maintains a gap between the front-folding lid and the inner surface of the door. The board creates an air layer, and the built-in stand prevents the iron from slipping, making it safe even on tatami mats or on a desk.
