Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cordless iron for removing wrinkles from clothing and the like.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, this type of cordless iron has been developed, for example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 63
As shown in Japanese Patent No. 49199, it had a structure as shown in FIG.

That is, the power supply pin 102 is attached to the rear surface of the iron main body 101.
A so-called free-standing cordless iron is commonly used, which has a stand 104 with a protruding power supply part 103 provided at a position facing the power supply pin 102, and on which the stand 104 and the Nifilon main body 101 are placed in a free-standing state. Met.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, with such a configuration, it is necessary to use the iron main body 101 in a horizontal position in order to place it on the stand 104 in order to energize it every time there is a short break during ironing work. Since the ironing position must be raised to a free standing position, and this action is constantly repeated during ironing, the hands and arms are easily fatigued and it is not convenient to use. Therefore, it has been considered that the iron body is tilted slightly backward from the horizontal position so that it can be placed on a stand by using the iron body's own weight and sliding on multiple supports that support the iron. There are, but
When the iron body is placed between a plurality of supports, the ironing surface portion gets caught on the supports, and electrical connection between the power supply bottle of the iron body and the electrode of the stand is not established.

For this reason, the placement position of the iron is limited, which poses a problem of poor usability.

Therefore, the present invention makes it possible to ensure electrical connection between the power supply bottle of the iron body and the electrode of the stand no matter where the iron body is placed on the stand, thereby increasing the flexibility of placing the iron on the stand. By increasing the
The aim is to obtain a cordless iron with improved placement.

Means for Solving the Problems and In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes a placing part on which the iron body is placed with the rear part tilted, and a hanging surface of the iron body is placed on this placing part. a stand having a plurality of supports, the plurality of supports being spaced apart from each other in the front and back direction of the upper surface of the placing part; and a support part slightly lower than the supports between the supports; It has been established.

Function The cordless iron of the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, and when the iron body is placed on a stand, when the iron is placed between a plurality of supports arranged at intervals in the front and back direction on the top surface of the placement part. However, due to the support part between the supports, which is slightly lower than the support part, the ironing surface is kept almost parallel to the placing surface, so that it can climb over the rear support and slide backwards on the inclined placing part. After moving, the power supply bottle and electrode are connected.

Therefore, the position where the iron body is placed on the stand is not particularly limited and can be secured widely.

Embodiment Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the accompanying drawings. In FIGS. 1 and 2, 1 is a base in which the heater 2 is embedded, 3 is a power supply bottle connected to the heater 2, and is provided in a concave power receiving part 5 formed at the rear of the iron main body 4, and is connected to the rear side. It is installed so that it protrudes. Reference numeral 6 denotes a stand having a placing part 7 on which the iron main body 4 is placed, and this placing part 7 is inclined so that the rear part of the iron main body 4 is lowered when the iron main body 4 is placed. A power supply section 8 is provided opposite to the section 5 and includes an electrode 9 connected to the power supply bottle 3 . This electrode 9 is composed of a contact 10 and a leaf spring 11 to which this contact 10 is attached. Supports 12a and 12b are rotatably attached to the upper surface of the placing portion 7, spaced apart from each other in the front-rear direction, in order to support the ironing surface 13 of the iron main body 4. Reference numeral 14 denotes a support part formed between the supports 12a and 12b, which is slightly lower than this support.When the rear part 13a of the ironing surface is placed in front of this support part, the center of gravity of the iron main body 4 is placed on the support part. 12a.

In the above configuration, the operation will be explained next. When placing the iron body 4 on the stand 6 to energize the iron body 4 during a short break during ironing work, the iron body 4 used in a horizontal state remains in the same position. and move it to above stand 6.

When the ironing surface 13 is placed on the supports 12a, 12b in the placed state, the iron main body 4 moves over the supports 12a, 12b attached to the placing part 7 tilted backward downward. It accelerates and slides backwards. As a result, the guide part 14 enters and fits into the recess 16, and the power supply bottle 3 enters the hole 8a of the power supply part 8 and is connected to the electrode 9.

In addition, the rear part 13 of the ironing surface 13 is
When the ironing surface 13 is placed between the support 12b and the support 14, the ironing surface 13 is almost parallel to the mounting part 7 due to the support 14 and is above the center of the rotation axis of the support 12a, so that the ironing surface 13 is placed between the support 12b and the support 14. The main body 4 rotates the support 12a by its own weight and slides backward, so that the power supply bottle 3 is connected to the electrode 9.

In addition, the rear part 13 of the ironing surface 13 is
When the iron body 4 is placed between the support body 12a and the support part 14, the center of gravity of the iron body 4 is in front of the support body 12a, and the iron body 4 slides out of the stand 6.
The user notices that it is not placed correctly and can replace it.

Therefore, even in various mounting states, the power supply pin 3 is reliably connected to the electrode 9.

In the embodiments of the present invention, the support supporting the iron body is rotatable, but it may also be made to slide by attaching a material with low frictional resistance, such as fluorocarbon resin. It is fine as long as it is something.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the cordless iron of the present invention prevents the iron from slipping in any state of placement when the iron body is placed on a stand having a placement portion that is inclined so that the rear part is lowered. This ensures a reliable electrical connection between the power supply pin on the iron body and the electrode on the stand, which increases the degree of freedom in placing the iron on the stand and greatly improves the ease of placing the iron on the stand. It is possible.
