Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to different sizes of
Designed to hold the hot iron still after use,
The invention relates to a holding and supporting device for an iron designed to hold such an iron in such a way as to prevent possible damage and danger to persons or objects that come into contact with the iron.

[0002]

Today, the cloth, rubber or other material, usually provided on the handle of the iron or other suitable location, is mounted thereon when the iron is not in use or after use. Iron supports are known which consist of suitable small mats of insulating material. This means that the iron is still very hot, thus preventing overheating of the support surface itself when the ironing board is removed from the support surface, but which can cause burns and damage when people or objects come into contact with the surface. We cannot avoid the danger that it will occur.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is directed to the drawbacks resulting from the use of such mats by means of a holding and supporting device for irons designed to effectively and quickly hold irons of various sizes immediately after use. And to remove restrictions. This prevents the danger of accidental contact of the person or object with the ironing surface, avoids the resulting damage, and offers the possibility of placing the ironed retainer in different positions.

[0004] The holding and supporting means are designed with the structural features essentially described herein, particularly with reference to the appended claims to this patent. The present invention is provided by way of non-limiting examples only, and will be apparent from the following description with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0005]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The figure schematically shows a holding and supporting device 15 according to the invention, designed for different size irons, which is still hot after use and after a period of time. The holding and supporting device is essentially a rubber, cloth,
A conventional electric iron 18 is manufactured from one or several pieces of insulating material such as plastic and covers the entire surface of the bottom 19 of the bottom plate 17 for ironing and the entire periphery 20 to a certain height. Protective support 1 which is shaped and dimensioned to match the shape and size of the bottom plate 17 of the ironing board, thus preventing any contact between the ironing surface and the outside.
6. Furthermore, this protective support can be used during or immediately after ironing while the board is still very hot.
It has a thickness suitable for preventing or greatly reducing the transfer of heat generated by the ironing board 17 to the outside. The following describes by way of example various possible embodiments of the holding and supporting device of the present invention.

Referring particularly to FIGS. 1 and 2, the protective support 16
(In this embodiment made of rubber) is made in one piece with three peripheral walls 21, 22, 23 joined together and with a flat bottom piece 24 shaped in its shape to cover the ironing board 17. ing. The peripheral walls 21 and 22 cover the front and rear portions 25 and 26 of the plate, and the peripheral wall 23 covers the side 27 of the plate. Meanwhile, the bottom piece 24 covers the bottom surface 19 of the ironing board.

[0007] Further, the protective support is an iron 18
The ironing board 17 of the wall 21 holds the iron
Between 24 and 24 are sized so that they can be inserted with a slight pressure into the corresponding open housing 28, so that any contact with the still hot ironing board is reliably prevented, and thus to a person or object. The possibility of injury or danger is avoided, and the tight engagement of the protective support with the ironing plate allows the holding and supporting device to be placed with the iron in any supporting position.

In FIGS. 3 and 4, the protective support 16 is essentially the same as described above, except that the front wall 21 and the rear wall 22 are superimposed on their extensions and thus the folds 29 , 30 and can be lengthened or shortened within certain limits of the protective support itself, so that it differs only in that it can be adapted to irons of various sizes. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the lateral wall 23 of the protective support 16 extends with a protruding grip 31 which can be gripped to facilitate insertion and removal of the iron into and out of the protective support.

FIGS. 5 and 6 show the design of the protective support described in FIGS. 1, 2, 3, and 4 in more detail. From these figures, it can be seen that the bottom piece 24 and its front wall 21, rear wall 22 and side wall 2
It can be seen that the various types of ribs 32, 33, 34 projecting from 3 are provided at an appropriate distance from each other with respect to the open housing 28 of the support itself. The purpose is to increase the insulation of the support, for any of the above reasons, because any iron inserts the ironing board with a slight pressure and presses it against the board, for the above reasons and possibly due to the greater distance from the ironing board to the outside . A series of ribs 35 projecting from the surface facing the bottom wall and pointing towards the support surface of the protective support prevents unwanted movement of the support iron assembly from that position and engages the support surface. Facilitates and enhances thermal insulation.

In FIGS. 7 and 8, at least one strap 36 for holding the iron is connected at one of its ends to one of the peripheral walls of the support itself to form a protective support 16.
It can be seen that it was provided in In this case, it is connected to the front wall 21 while the other end is free and selectively engages a corresponding button 38 projecting from the other peripheral wall of the protective support, in this case the rear wall 22. A series of designed, axially spaced holes 37 are provided. After passing the strap around the ironing plate 17, the iron is fastened to the protective support by adapting it to the corresponding dimensions of the plate.

9 and 10, the protective support 16 is provided with a binding strap 36, as in FIGS. In this example, however, it is adapted to fit around the ironing board 17 away from the support itself, the end of which is designed and fastened in the same manner as the free end of the strap.

In FIGS. 11 and 12, it can be seen that the protective support is essentially the same as described in FIGS.
In this example, however, the iron is first connected to and detached from the adjacent front and rear walls 21, 22 of the protective support itself to facilitate insertion of the iron into the open housing 28 and to facilitate holding of the iron in the iron insertion position. It differs in that a possible lateral wall 23 is provided.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the side wall 22 is formed of the bottom wall 2.
4 is designed as an extension of FIG. In addition to the folds of the side walls and the length of the ironing board of each iron, the side walls are adapted to the walls 21, 22, and the projecting piece 39 has two walls 21, 2.
Several holes 40 are provided in the axial direction which are designed to selectively engage corresponding engagement projections 41 projecting laterally from the two.

Finally, in FIG. 13, the transverse wall is provided with a transverse extension 42 which is inserted directly into the ironing board 17 of the iron, and is further described with reference to FIGS. A binding strap 36 of the same type and with the same function
It can be seen that the protective support is similar to that shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, except for the fact that is provided. In this example, the protective support is designed as a general type for inserting irons of any size, so that it is easily and quickly positioned.

[0015]

The iron holding and supporting device of the above construction can effectively and quickly hold irons of various sizes, thereby preventing the risk of accidental contact of a person or object with the iron surface, The resulting damage is avoided.

Of course, if components of a protective support of this type and for the above functions have the potential to be adapted to different sized irons without exceeding the protection scope of the invention, in this manner It is also possible to design the designed holding and supporting device in other manners than those illustrated here.
