The user then slightly drag the iron 1 to iron to the stopper 22 so that the first protrusion 22A engages in the cavity 13 formed at the rear of the iron, this slip being favored, or even taking place automatically under the effect of gravity, thanks to the pronounced inclination of the location 21A and the non-stick coating that can be arranged on the pads 21B.
  • the iron 1 to be ironed is then automatically positioned on the stopper 22, under the effect of the guide provided by the insertion of the first protrusion 22A in the cavity 13 and the second protrusion 22B engages in the space 12A formed between the arms 12 of the iron so that the rear portion of the iron 1 to be ironed is wedged laterally on the base 2.
  • the return torque exerted by the springs 6 is reversed, the springs 6 then exerting a restoring torque in the direction R 2 which increases progressively as and when as the arch 4 approaches the blocking position in which it abuts against the nose of the iron 1 to iron.
  • the hoop 4 is applied against the upper face of the body of the iron 1 and pushing the iron 1 to iron to the stopper 22, so that a perfect immobilization results, without deflection, iron 1 on the base 2, the lifting of the rear part of the iron 1 to be ironed being prevented by the insertion of the protrusion 22A into the cavity 13 of the iron 1 to be ironed while the lifting of the front part of the iron 1 to be ironed is prevented by the presence of the blocking arch 4.
  • the user can then transport the device safely by grasping the handle 11 of the iron.
  • the hoop 4 pivots under the effect of the couple of springs 6 of return until the abutment 42 at the base of the arch 4 bears against the edge 26A of the opening 26, thus preventing the arch 4 from tilting too far towards the rear of the base 2.
  • the user can then grasp the iron 1 to be ironed by the handle 11 so as to move it away from the stopper 22 and to disengage the protrusion 22A of the cavity 13.
  • Such an iron locking device on the base of the device thus has the advantage of being both simple design and very ergonomic use.
  • the bumper immobilizing the rear part of the iron has the advantage of being bulky and therefore space-saving.
  • the cavity receiving the protrusion being disposed on the underside of the body of the iron, it has the advantage of being substantially invisible to the user when the iron rests on its sole. Such a technical solution therefore makes it possible to have a compact device with improved aesthetics.
  • the stop of the bow can be arranged in such a way that the stop position of the bow in which the stop abuts on the edge of the opening corresponds to at an immobilization position of the iron in which the hoop is in the immediate vicinity of the iron without affecting the latter.
  • the tank for the generation of pressurized steam may be replaced by an instantaneous vaporization chamber, the latter may be arranged in the base or in the iron being connected to a reservoir contained in the base by a water pipe.
