Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (a) Field of Industrial Application The present invention is used as a handy presser capable of easily creasing trousers and wrinkles, and as a compact iron capable of ironing a handkerchief or a part thereof. A portable iron that can be used.

(B) Conventional technology Irons are usually used for creases on trousers, wrinkles, etc., and various products have been commercialized from simple dry types to steam types. In recent years, in response to consumer needs, development has progressed and improved with microcomputer type, steam cassette type tank, cord reel, and high power, and now cordless iron is becoming the mainstream.

However, since these types were developed with an emphasis on ironing at home or for commercial use, the size, shape, and weight of the hanging surface are considerably large and heavy. The current situation is that a considerable burden is placed on those who do.

Therefore, various products such as a lightweight type, a lightweight compact type, a handle detachable type, and the like are conveniently commercialized for traveling.

In addition, not only ironing but also trouser presser of the type that heat-presses both sides of trousers for a certain period of time is commercialized not only for the scoring of subon. However, since this type of trouser press is a type that presses for a certain period of time at a time, it is large in shape and limited to home use.

However, the fashion orientation of the world and the grooming of businessmen are in a situation where they must respond promptly regardless of time and place, and the above-mentioned household irons and trouser presses can be carried to business trips and outings. Since it is practically impossible to use, lightweight and compact products have been developed for presses for partial creases and repairs that require cleaning.

For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the main body (50) has a hanging surface (heater surface), the other receiving surface (51) is made to correspond, and the pants (A) are sandwiched at the time of pressing by the action of a spring similar to a stapler. It is usually used as a press as described above as shown in Fig. 8 and Fig. 9 and products set to make creases, but when the main body (60) (having a heater surface) is removed, a compact iron As for, what can be used has been commercialized and is on sale.

Both products are compact, but in the former, the range of use is set only to the press, and when operating with the handle (52), the force transmission to the hanging surface is not smooth. In order to hold down and hold the upper parts of the hanging surface and the receiving surface, the handle portion (51) cannot be said to be easy to operate by hitting the hand. In addition, the latter product is one that has achieved its intended purpose. If it is separated from the hinge base (61), one of them may be lost, and in terms of safety, the surface may be inadvertently touched when ironing. Including the risk of touching (heater surface).

Therefore, when ironing, your fingers should be sufficiently separated from the surface to be ironed, and it is necessary to have a thickness sufficient to capture the main body when ironing.Therefore, it is necessary to set the thickness of the main body part slightly higher. Therefore, it became a thick product as a whole, and it was regarded as a problem to carry it in bags, attache cases, etc. for travel and business.

(C) Problem to be Solved by the Invention An object of the present invention is to provide a portable iron that can be easily used as a normal iron or as a holding iron to be held.

(D) Means for Solving the Problems The present invention is designed so that an iron body is superposed on the main body so that the heating surface is exposed, and the ironing object is held between the heating surface and the pressing surface of the cover body. Alternatively, the iron body is pivotally erected so that the heating surface faces outward so as to engage with the cover body opened from the main body.

(E) Operation According to such a configuration, the object to be ironed such as pants can be sandwiched between the heating surface and the pressing surface to be used as a fold press, and when the iron body is rotated and erected, the heating surface is a normal iron. It can be used as.

(F) Example (1) is a flat plate-shaped main body having a storage recess (2), an elongated notch (3) and an engagement recess (4).
(5) is a flat plate-shaped iron body pivotally supported on one side of the main body (1) and is housed in the housing recess (2). The iron cover (5) has a plate-shaped heating surface (6) on the surface thereof so as to be heated by a heater (not shown) and covers the power supply terminals (7) and (7). 8) and the handle (9) are formed on the side surface. The terminal cover (8) is engaged with the engagement recess (4). The iron body (5) is constantly urged by the first springs (10) and (10) so that the iron body (5) is superposed in the storage recess (2).

(13) is a flat plate-shaped cover body axially supported by the other side portion of the main body (1), and has a pressing surface (14) facing the heating surface (6) on the surface thereof and is always the second spring. It is urged to superimpose on the body (1) at (15).

When pressing the end of the object (A) to be ironed such as pants with such a configuration, only the iron body (5) is placed in the storage recess (2) of the main body (1) so that its heating surface (6) is exposed. After being stored and polymerized, the object to be ironed (A) is held between the heating surface (6) and the pressing surface (14) as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.

When the iron body (5) is used as an ordinary iron, the iron body (5) is rotated and erected against the springs (10) (10), and the iron body (5) and the cover body (5) as shown in (11) of FIG. 13) and 13) are engaged with each other by locking portions not shown, and the object to be ironed (A) is ironed as shown in FIGS. 2 and 6.

(G) Effect of the Invention The present invention can selectively use normal ironing and holding and pressing of an object to be ironed such as trousers without removing parts as in the prior art. In addition, by holding both the main body and the cover body when ironing, it is possible to work stably.
