Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a cordless iron including an iron body, a mounting table, and a storage case that covers the iron body.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a structure of a cordless iron in which an iron main body provided with a current collector is placed in a self-supporting state on a mounting base provided with a power feeding unit so that the iron main body is detachably placed on the placing base. I have to. Then, when placed, the feeding part provided on the placing table and the current collecting part provided on the iron body are joined to supply electricity to the iron body, so that the heater built therein heats the base to the set temperature. It was.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, such a structure has the following problems.

(I) When the ironing work was completed and the iron body and the mounting table were put away and stored, it was inconvenient to carry them.

(II) In addition, the iron body placed on the placing table had a heated ironing surface, which could be easily touched by a person, and there was a risk of burns.

(III) Further, since the iron body and the mounting table are not fixed, there is a risk that the iron body may come off the mounting table and fall down due to vibration or shock during transportation, and fall to the floor surface.

The present invention solves the above conventional problems, and provides a cordless iron that is easy to use and highly safe.

Means for Solving the Problems Means of the present invention for solving the above problems include a mounting table having a power cord connected to a power feeding section, a mounting table mounted on the mounting table, and connected to the power feeding section. An iron body having a current collecting part, a detachable storage case for covering the iron body placed on the placing table, and the placing table provided on the placing table,
In addition, a lock member is provided for fixing the iron body to the mounting table in response to attachment / detachment of the storage case.

Action This technical action is as follows.

That is, by providing a storage case that covers the iron body, it is possible to prevent the risk of a person touching the heated ironing surface and getting burned, and to fix the iron body and the mounting table in conjunction with covering the case. By providing the lock member, it is possible to prevent a risk that the iron body comes off from the mounting table and falls due to vibration or shock during transportation.

Embodiment One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, a bar-shaped current collector 2 in which a heater and a thermostat are electrically connected in series is provided on the rear surface of the iron body 1. On the other hand, the mounting table 4 having the recess 3 into which the rear portion of the iron body 1 is fitted and inserted has a rod-like shape that is joined to the current collecting portion 2 at a position corresponding to the current collecting portion 2 to transmit electricity. A power supply unit 5 is provided, and is constantly urged by a spring 6 toward the current collecting unit 2 side so that contact pressure of the contacts is generated. The power supply unit 5 is electrically connected to a power cord 7 fixed to the mounting table 4.

Next, a substantially plate-shaped lock member 8 is slidably provided on the front and rear surfaces of the mounting table 4, and is constantly urged outward by a lock spring 9 in a direction for releasing the lock, The end is configured to engage with the locking grooves 10 provided on the upper and lower surfaces of the rear part of the iron body 1 to fix the iron body 1 and the mounting table 4, and the outer end covers the iron body 1 with a storage case 11.
Constitutes a sliding portion 12 restricted by the inner surface of the. When the storage case 11 is set, the lock member 8 moves toward the iron body 1 so that the iron body 1 and the mounting table 4 can be fixed.

In the above configuration, when the storage case 11 is removed from the mounting table 4, the lock member 8 is biased by the lock spring 9 and moves outward, so that the lock member 8 is locked by the locking groove 1 of the iron body 1.
When the iron body 1 and the mounting table 4 are released from 0, the iron body 1 is ready for use.

Next, the use of the iron body 1 is completed, and the iron body 1
Is placed on the mounting table 4 and the storage case 11 is covered, the sliding portion of the lock member 8 is restricted on the inner surface of the storage case 11,
The lock member 8 moves, the lock member 8 engages with the stop groove 10 of the iron body 1, and the iron body 1 and the mounting table 4 are fixed. At this time, since the open side lower end of the storage case 11 is fitted to the outer peripheral portion of the mounting table 4, the storage case 11
When is mounted, the lock member 8 is not displaced in the unlocking direction of the iron body 1, and the iron body 1 and the mounting table 4 can be maintained in the coupled state. Further, even when external force is applied to the upper portion of the storage case 11 and the shape thereof is distorted, the iron body 1 can be held in the storage case 11 without rattling.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION As described above, the cordless iron of the present invention includes the mounting table having the power cord connected to the power feeding section, and the current collecting section mounted on the mounting table and connected to the power feeding section. An iron main body having, a detachable storage case for covering the iron main body placed on the mounting table, and the iron body provided on the mounting table, and the iron body being mounted on the mounting table in response to detachment of the storage case. Since the iron body that is heated to a high temperature after use can be fixed to the mounting table by providing the lock member for fixing, the thermal damage to the storage case due to contact with the high temperature part of the iron body during transportation can be prevented. In addition to being able to handle, the storage case can be held on the mounting table without rattling even if external force is applied to the storage case and the shape of the storage case is distorted. The electrical connection can be kept good.
