Description

The present invention relates to a support for iron with heating

  cordless electric device, this support consisting of a mounting surface, a stop and a special connection plug removably connected to the stop. Stands for irons without cords are known. An iron support according to European Patent Application No. 210,538 will approach

  most of the object of the invention. For heating, with this agency-

  Menyleferàrepassinginordon is placed on the support

  which is connected, via a cable, with the

  electricity supply of the dwelling. The power cable has on one side a connection, which can be selectively connected either directly with the electrical device or again with the device support. In the latter case, the heating current is transmitted in the support to a connection socket with which the electrical device can be connected by placing on the support. During a transition between ironing with a cordless iron and ironing with an iron that is permanently connected to the electrical power supply of the house, it is necessary initially to separate the connection of the power cable and the support, to then connect the connection with the iron. AT

  In this respect, care must be taken to ensure that

  tation does not reduce the handling of the iron

  in its area of contact with the latter.

  To overcome these drawbacks, the invention aims to a -

  to support the ironing board and the plug-in

  so that the iron can be used with or without a power cable, without changing the connection of the power cable each time. and so that, for cordless irons, the device without cable can be easily connected to the socket

supply for heating.

  This problem is solved by providing that the abutment is provided with a stepped shape, the end surface and the horizontal surface of this abutment being connected to retaining hooks, directed into the same

  directions, a locking pawl, movable vertically

  suitably, beinginvolvedin the abutment, and in the branching plug, are formed recesses in which the retaining hooks engage in the mounting condition, said locking pawl then covering a blocking surface provided on the

plug connection.

  Thus, when placing the iron on the support, the iron slips on the inclined plane, for a distance sufficient for the retaining hooks on the stop cling in the recesses provided on the plug connection. The inclined plane is arranged in such a way that, for stopping the iron on the support, one simply has to slightly raise the iron from its horizontal ironing position and then to slide it.

  automatically to the stop position.

  Under the effect of the centering hook provided on the horizontal surface of the abutment, the centering projection provided on the branching plug, inclined sliding planes provided on the centering hook and the horizontal surface of the abutment, the Retaining hooks are automatically guided into the recess. In this condition, taking

  connection may be locked by means of a

  locking device on the support, the locking pawl then covering a blocking surface provided

  on the plug connection. In branch-taking

  A locking device is provided for separably fixing the socket in the iron. Both the locking device provided in the socket and the locking device provided in the support cooperate with each other via a pusher. When ironing without a cord, the plug is separably connected to the socket. In this respect, it is

  particularly advantageous when, at the establishment

  tion of the connection between the socket and the support, simultaneously locking the plug in the iron is removed. The iron is then placed on the support for its heating. For ironing with electrical connection, the socket is locked in the iron, in which case the

  locking the socket in the holder is removed.

  This avoids a modification of complicated connection of the outlet. When it is necessary to move the iron together with the support, the cooperation connection between the two locking devices can be suppressed so that the connection socket is connected as well with the support as with the iron to board. Other features and advantages of the invention will be highlighted later in the

  description, given by way of non-limiting example, in

  reference to the accompanying drawings in which: Figure 1 is a partial elevational view of the support on which is placed an iron, a partial section being made in the area of the retaining members of the connection socket; FIG. 2 is a partial elevational view of the support on which the iron is placed, with

  partial cut in the area of the locking device

  lage; FIG. 3 is a partial plan view of the support

iron.

  In Figures 1 and 2 is shown a support 1 on which is placed an iron 2. The iron support 1 comprises a laying surface 3 and a stopper 4. The laying surface is arranged to constituteunplanincliné. The abutment 4 comprises horizontal surfaces 7 and 8 which are arranged to form planes

  inclined and arranged in a staggered manner.

  On the surface 7 is formed a beak or retaining hook 9, and on the end surface 6debute4isforméunbecauseou retaining hook 10. As shown in Figure 3, the stop 4 comprises a centering hook 15 provided with inclined sliding surfaces 17 and 18. In the stop

  4, there is provided a locking device. This provision

  locking device consists of a ratchet pusher 19 on which is disposed a push button 20, which is

  connected with a locking catch 11 movable vertically

  LEMENT. On the iron 2 is fixed / separably1a special connection socket 5. The connection socket 5 has recesses 12 and 13

  and a blocking surface 14. In the branch plug-

  5 is mounted a pusher 21) which cooperates with the locking pawl 11, and asc a locking slider 22 inside the connection socket 5. The pusher 21 is in

  further connected to an eccentric actuating lever 23.

  When placing the iron 2 on the support 1, the iron 2 slides on the inclined plane of the support 1 by a distance sufficient for the retaining hooks 9 and 10 provided on the

  4 abut in the corresponding recesses

  12 and 13 laid on the connection socket 5.

  Under the action of the centering hook 15, which has sliding inclined planes 17 and 18 / and horizontal surfaces 7 and 8 provided on the stop 4 and which are arranged in correspondence with the guides, not shown, of the surface antagonist 16 of the connection socket 5 (on the surface 16 of the socket is formed a guide groove associated with the centering hook), the retaining hooks 9 and 10 are automatically guided into the recesses 12 and 13 when setting in place of the iron 2 on the support I. In this condition, the connection socket 5 can be locked on the support 1, in which case the locking pawl It covers the locking surface 14 of the branch socket 5. In the connection socket 5, there is provided another locking device for separably fixing the socket 5 in the iron 2. Both the locking device provided in the socket 5 that the locking device e provided in the support 1 cooperate with each other via the pusher 21, so that, during a cordless ironing, the connection socket 5 is firmly connected with the support I and, when a cordless ironing, the connection socket 5 is firmly connected with the iron 2. Under the action of the eccentric lever 23, the cooperation connection between the two locking devices can be suppressed, so that the socket connection 5 can be connected

  securely with both the support I and the iron 2.
