Abstract

Automatic switching apparatus is incorporated in a hand-­ held electrically operated appliance such as a pressing iron (20). A motion sensor (MS) and an electronic timer (U₁) cooperate to automatically shut off the iron if the iron remains stationery for a predetermined period of time. A latch mechanism (54) is manually operable in the event the user desires to reactivate the iron. Electron­ ic circuitry is mounted on a circuit board (40) located within the handle (28) of the iron. An appropriate indicator (N) informs the user whether the iron is in an active mode or an inactive mode.
