Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a soldering iron case that stores a soldering iron, and in particular, when the lid of the soldering iron is opened,
This invention relates to a soldering iron case in which a soldering iron can be placed on the back surface of the lid.

[Conventional technology]

When performing so-called soldering work, which uses solder and a soldering iron to join iron, steel, copper, and copper alloys, etc., it is necessary to temporarily stop the soldering work and perform other work that does not use the soldering iron. Immediately after completing the soldering work, the tip of the soldering iron is hot, so if you place it on a flat surface such as a workbench, the part that grips the soldering iron will generally have a cylindrical shape that can easily roll. This is extremely dangerous as there is a risk of it falling over. For this reason, a means to safely place the soldering iron is required. Conventionally, this method involves keeping the tip of the soldering iron as far away from the workbench as possible, and making sure that the soldering iron is stable so that it does not roll. The soldering iron is designed so that it can be placed vertically, and a special stand or member is used on which the soldering iron is placed.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

In the above-mentioned conventional technology, the stand or member on which the soldering iron is placed is itself separate and dedicated, so the work space may become small, and when it is not in use, it is stored in a designated storage space. This requires new space, and each time you do soldering work, you have to take it out of this storage space to use it, which makes the work more complicated, or you may accidentally lose it. It was time-consuming to manage.

This idea was made in view of the above circumstances.
The purpose is to simplify the member on which the soldering iron is placed, save space, and improve the workability of soldering.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention provides a soldering iron case consisting of a case body that is placed on a base such as a workbench, and a lid body that is hinged to the case body and opens and closes the case body. a handle for carrying the case, and the lid is hinged to the case body so that the handle comes into contact with the base and becomes substantially horizontal when the lid is fully opened; A stand member on which a soldering iron is placed is provided on the back side of the lid body, and the stand member has a length that allows the soldering iron housed in the case body to be locked when the lid body is fully closed. It is set to .

[Effect]

According to the soldering iron case of the present invention, when the lid is fully opened, the handle comes into contact with the base such as a workbench to maintain the horizontal state of the lid, and the stand member provided on the back side The soldering iron can be placed stably.
Therefore, a special member for placing the soldering iron is not required, and the soldering iron can be placed without taking up additional space, thereby increasing the work space. Further, there is no need for any special parts for leveling the lid. Further, when the soldering iron is stored and the lid is closed, the soldering iron is locked by the stand member and its movement is suppressed.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. In the figure, symbol A is a soldering iron case of the present invention, symbol 1 is a soldering iron, symbol 2 is a case body in which the soldering iron 1 is housed, and symbol 3 is hinged connection by hinges 4, 4. It is a lid body that opens and closes the case body 2. A handle 5 is attached to the upper outer surface of the lid 3 for convenient carrying. The position of the hinges 4, 4 is such that when the lid 3 is opened, the handle 5 comes into contact with the workbench (base) B on which the soldering iron case A is placed, and the lid 3 cannot be opened any further. The upper plate portion 3a of the lid body 3 is set to be horizontal when the lid body 3 is in the open state. At the center of the free ends of the case body 2 and the lid 3, caps 6a and 6b that engage with each other are attached. By closing the lid 3 and engaging the caps 6a and 6b, the case body 2 and the lid are connected. The body 3 is locked. Connected to the inner end of the case body 2 are a switch 7 that converts the operating temperature of the soldering iron 1 into high and low temperatures, pilot lamps 7a and 7b that determine the operating temperature, and a socket 8a that leads to an external power source. A housing 9 is provided with an outlet 8 into which the socket 1a of the soldering iron 1 is inserted and for energizing the soldering iron 1.

In the soldering iron case having the above configuration, a plate-shaped stand member 10 is erected near one of the side ends of the back surface 3b of the lid 3 (on the right side in FIG. 1). A recess 10a is formed in the center of the upper part of the stand member 10 so that the cylindrical body 1b of the soldering iron 1 can be stably placed therein without rolling. In addition, this stand member 10 also includes a soldering iron 1
is housed in the case body 2 with the tip (tip) of the cylinder 10b facing the end opposite to the housing 9, and when the lid 3 is closed, the recess 10
A is set to a length that allows the soldering iron 1 to be locked by fitting into the cylindrical body 10b.

A method of using this embodiment configured as described above will be explained. Note that the description will first be made assuming that the soldering iron 1 is housed within the case body 2. First, the caps 6a and 6b are unlocked and opened until the handle 5 of the lid 3 comes into contact with the workbench B. Take out the soldering iron 1 from inside the case body 2, and
The soldering iron 1 is energized by inserting the socket 1a into the outlet 8, and the operating temperature is selected by operating the switch 7. Next, proceed to the predetermined soldering work. At this time, if you temporarily stop the soldering work and let go of the soldering iron 1, place the cylindrical body 1b of the soldering iron 1 in the recess 10a of the stand member 10,
By placing the lower end of the grip 1c, which is a portion for gripping the soldering iron 1, on the back surface 3b of the lid 3, the soldering iron 1 can be stably placed on the back surface 3b of the lid 3. When the specified soldering work is completed, disconnect the socket 1a of the soldering iron 1 from the outlet 8 to stop the power supply, and let the temperature of the tip of the soldering iron 1 reach a point where it is safe to touch your hands. The soldering iron 1 is placed on the stand member 10 in the same manner as described above until the temperature decreases, and after the temperature has decreased, the soldering iron 1 is stored in the case body 2 with the grip 1c facing the housing 9 side, and the lid 3 is closed. Close.

As can be understood from the above-described structure and operation, when the lid 3 of the soldering iron case is opened, the stand member 10 is provided so that the soldering iron 1 can be placed on the back surface 3b of the lid 3. , a special member for placing the soldering iron 1 is not required, and the work space becomes large. Furthermore, the handle 5 is also used to keep the opened lid 3 horizontal, so there is no need for special parts for this purpose, and an increase in cost can be prevented. Further, when the lid body 3 is closed, the recess 10a of the stand member 10 is inserted into the cylindrical body 1b of the soldering iron 1 housed in the case body 2.
Since the movement of the soldering iron 1 is suppressed and the soldering iron 1 is stored so that it does not roll even inside the soldering iron case, the soldering iron 1 will not be damaged even if it is handled a little roughly when carrying the soldering iron case, for example. .

[Effect of idea]
