Among Fig. 1～Fig. 3,1 is the base plate that is heated by heater 2, and 3 are the inner and upper that is located at steam and dry iron, the vaporizer that is used to produce steam.Shown in the dotted line among Fig. 2, be embedded with the heater 2 that roughly is the U font in the base plate 1.Heater 2 is open state at the rear portion of base plate 1, base plate 1 is heated into the proper temperature that is suitable for pressing.

In addition, the flatiron face 4 of base plate 1 be show greatly core be the summit, towards the convex shape of below projection, the core of flatiron face is provided with the zone 41 with steam hole and pit.In addition, also be provided with the zone 42 that in the specific length of fore-and-aft direction, does not have steam hole and pit in the rear end part of flatiron face.

In the vertical view of the flatiron face 4 on the base plate shown in Fig. 21, be provided with many steam holes 5 with the outside of heater 2 corresponding positions, these steam holes 5 are arranged in continuous row, roughly are the U font, and each steam hole 5 is connected with vaporizer 3.

Roughly being arranged to the U font, being the inboard of the steam hole 5 of continuous shape, be provided with many pits 6.These pits 6 are provided with along steam hole 5, and constitute a plurality of row (being 3 row in the present embodiment).And the pit 6 of being arranged to a plurality of row is divided into a plurality of as the straight line III-III among Fig. 2 or the group shown in the C-C (or claim " OK ") again, and the steam hole general alignment outside each is organized pit and is arranged on is in line.

In addition, these at least a portion (as straight line III-III) in arranged in a straight line are configured to the vertical line D tilted rearward with respect to the heater 2 on each group pit position.In addition, the row in a plurality of pits row shown in the line E among Fig. 1 be arranged on basically like that heater 2 under.

The shape of these pits 6 is roughly three-dimensional spherical shape, is preferably hemispherical, and is roughly rounded on flatiron face 4.In addition, and the row at place are far away more from steam hole 5, and its size is just more little, and the degree of depth is also shallow more.

7 is the water tank that supplies water in vaporizer 3, and 8 is the steam button.When operating steam button 8 from the outside, then supply to the water of water tank 7 in the vaporizer 3 or the operation of supplying water is stopped.

In addition, other formation is identical with the existing conventional steam and dry iron, they is described in detail in this has just omitted.

Effect, operational circumstances to steam and dry iron with above-mentioned formation describes below.

Identical in the basic operation of steam and dry iron and the existing conventional electric iron, so being described in detail in this, this has just omitted.

At first, steam button 8 is operated, the water in the water tank 7 is offered vaporizer 3.Vaporizer 3 produces steam, and steam is sprayed onto the outside from steam hole 5, thereby can carry out steam ironing.

At this moment, the steam that sprays from steam hole 5 not only exists the space 5a in steam hole 5, and among the space 6a in a plurality of pits 6 that are provided with along steam hole 5 existence is arranged also, thereby can carry out continuous Steam Heating to clothing; Before pressing, flatiron face 4 can make the fiber of clothing fully moistening/to expand.

And, in the roughly linearly pit group that is provided with along a plurality of steam holes 5 of being arranged to continuous row, because at least a portion pit group is with respect to the vertical line D tilted rearward of the heater on the position 2, therefore, the steam from the steam hole ejection can affact on the clothing by the numbers successively with the basic operation to the flatiron operation of front slide.

In addition, owing to the set-up mode of being arranged to the pit 6 of a plurality of row along a plurality of steam holes 5 is: far away more from steam hole 5, the size of pit 6 is just more little, therefore, vapor volume can reduce successively among the space 6a of pit 6, under the effect of the flatiron face of pressing thereafter 4, can realize shaping, drying as quick as thought.

And because far away more from steam hole 5, the degree of depth of pit 6 is also just shallow more, and the concavo-convex degree of the wrinkle that slips over pit 6 is gently reduced in turn, and shaping, the drying process carried out of the flatiron face of pressing 4 thereafter just can more successfully be finished.

In addition, owing to do not have pit in the zone 41 of the core of flatiron face 4, when the flatiron operation of forwards advancing normally, from it left and right the place ahead be the steam of steam hole 5 ejections that the U font surrounds clothing is moistening/after expanding, can by the zone 41 of the core of flatiron face 4 with cloth cover more reliable carry out smooth, dry.

And, because flatiron face 4 is core the convex shape summit, that protrude is arranged downwards, therefore, the frictional force between cloth cover and the flatiron face 4 can be reduced.Like this, the flatiron operation of electric iron is carried out swimmingly, and can be improved local surface pressing, can make cloth cover realize smooth, dry and wrinkle is plated more reliably.

In addition,, press substantially in the operation electric iron being promoted this forward, can in the end carry out smooth, dry reliably because the rear portion of flatiron face 4 also is provided with the zone 42 that does not have steam hole and pit in the specific length of fore-and-aft direction.

And,, can make the reach successfully on the male and fomale(M﹠F) of clothing irrespectively of the electric iron and the direction of motion, and in the reach process, can the jog of clothing be pressed gradually by spherical shape by pit roughly is arranged to dome shape.Like this, not only can prevent to produce new folding/wrinkle, and can not make clothes fiber impaired because of the edge of pit and the surface, inside of pit because of there being pit to exist on the flatiron face 4.

In addition, in the Temperature Distribution of flatiron face 4, though part is than the temperature height of other parts under the heater 2, but owing to being provided with the row of one in the multiple row pit 6 (line E) under the heater 2, with have very big interval between the part that clothing directly contacts, therefore can on clothing, can add even temperature.

In addition, though be that lower surface with base plate 1 is a flatiron face 4 in the present embodiment,, flatiron face 4 also can by on the lower surface that is arranged on base plate 1, the parts different with base plate 1 constitute.

(embodiment 2)

Below by Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 the present invention the 2nd embodiment is described.Wherein, the width of pit 60 dwindles on the direction away from steam hole 50 gradually, and the degree of depth also shoals gradually.And shown in the straight line V-V among Fig. 4, it is adjacent with pit 60 to face the steam hole 50 that is arranged on its outside, and is arranged on basically on the center line of pit 60.Other constitute with embodiment 1 in identical.

From the steam of steam hole 50 ejection not only can be stayed space 50a in the steam hole 50, and also exist among the space 60a in a plurality of pits 60 that are provided with along steam hole 50, so can carry out continuous Steam Heating to clothing, before flatiron face 40 was pressed, can make clothes fiber expand fully/moistening.In addition, because the width of pit 60 reduces on the direction away from steam hole 50 slowly, the degree of depth also shoals gradually, therefore, vapor volume in the pit 60 also will reduce slowly, the concavo-convex of wrinkle also will gently reduce successively, under the effect of the flatiron face of pressing thereafter, can carry out shaping, drying more swimmingly.

Because above-mentioned pit 60 also can be described as the pit 6 arranged side by side of the multiple row among the embodiment 1 is coupled together, form a bigger pit, therefore, can maintain more steam, also can improve the moistening/expansion effect of the fiber of clothing than the pit among the embodiment 16.

Steam and dry iron among the present invention recited above need not increase quantity of steam, only just clothing can be carried out sufficient Steam Heating by original ejection vapor volume, thereby can wrinkle be plated with very high efficient, therefore, can be useful in family expenses or specialty widely with in the steam and dry iron.
