Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to an electric iron that is used by grasping the grip portion of the handle.

As is well known, an electric iron has a handle attached to the top surface of a base, and a grip portion is formed on the handle. Then, the user grasps the grip portion with his/her fingers and performs the operation of using the device. However, in the past, the thickness of the grip was always constant, and for some users, the thickness did not correspond to the length of their fingers, that is, the grip was thicker than the length of their fingers. If the handle is too thin, or on the other hand, the handle is too thin, it will not be easy to handle, leading to early fatigue.

This invention was made with attention to these points, and its purpose is to provide an auxiliary rod along the longitudinal direction on the outside of the grip, and to move this auxiliary rod in a direction almost perpendicular to the grip. To provide an electric iron in which the thickness of a grip part can be adjusted according to the length of a user's fingers by supporting the iron in a movable and adjustable manner.

This invention will be explained below based on an illustrated embodiment. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a base equipped with a heater (not shown), and a handle 2 made of, for example, synthetic resin is attached to the upper surface of the base 1. A grip portion 3 extending along the front-rear direction of the base 1 is integrally formed at the upper end of the handle 2. An opening 4 is formed in the lower surface of the grip part 3 along its longitudinal direction, and an auxiliary rod 5 is disposed in this opening 4.
This auxiliary rod 5 has a flat base 6 and a flat base 6.
side walls 7, 7 which are integrally bent on both side edges of the
It consists of bent pieces 8 and 9 that are bent in opposite directions to the side walls 7 and 7 at both end edges of the base 6, and engagement teeth 10 are arranged in a row on the outer surface of one of the bent pieces 8. There is. and part of the side walls 7, 7 and bent pieces 8, 9
The base 6 is placed outside the grip 3 with the base 6 facing the inside of the grip 3 through the opening 4, and in this state, one end of the side walls 7, 7 is connected to the pin installed between the inner wall surfaces on the distal end side of the grip 3. It is rotatably supported via 11. A gear 12 as a rotating member is provided inside the rear end of the handle 2, and the gear 12 as a rotating member meshes with the engagement teeth 10 of the bending piece 8. The gear 12 is fixed to a support shaft 13 inserted through the handle 2, and one end of the support shaft 13 is connected to an operation dial 14 provided on the outer wall surface of the handle 2. By rotating the operation dial 14, the gear 12 can be rotated to displace the auxiliary rod 5 in a direction substantially perpendicular to the grip portion 3. A relatively large frictional force is applied to the operation dial 14, so that the gear 12 will not rotate with the force of gripping the auxiliary rod 5.

In the electric iron configured in this way, the auxiliary rod 5 is arranged on the lower surface side of the grip part 3 in a state that protrudes from the opening 4, so that the grip part 3 including the auxiliary rod 5 can be grasped with the fingers. , perform ironing work. Here, if the thickness of the grip part 3 including the auxiliary rod 5 is too thick for the length of the user's fingers, or conversely too thin, rotate the operation dial 14 to perform the auxiliary operation. The rod 5 is rotated using the pin 11 as a fulcrum. As a result, the auxiliary rod 5 is displaced in a direction substantially perpendicular to the grip part 3, and the grip part 3 including the auxiliary rod 5
Since the thickness of the handle 3 changes, by performing such operations according to the length of the fingers, the grip part 3 can be set to the thickness that is easiest to grip, and the user will hardly experience fatigue. , you can comfortably carry out aeron work.

As explained above, in this invention, an auxiliary rod is provided on the outside of the grip along its longitudinal direction, and this auxiliary rod can be moved and adjusted in a direction substantially perpendicular to the grip.
The device is characterized in that it is supported so that it can be held at the adjusted position, and the grip portion is set to the thickness that is easiest to grip according to the length of the user's fingers, so that the user can use it with little fatigue. This has the effect that it can be performed comfortably.
