Description

  The present invention relates to an ironing aid such as an ironing board, an ironing pad, and an ironing board cover, which is provided with a surface cloth on which an object to be ironed is placed and is used for ironing.

  In general, when ironing, use an ironing board, place the object to be ironed on the ironing board, and move the iron in each direction to press the ironing object against the ironing board. It is common to do it.

  If the iron cannot be smoothly moved on the object to be ironed during such ironing, the labor burden on the operator increases.

  By the way, in order to improve the workability of ironing, an ironing board having a tiltable main body so that the iron can be easily moved during ironing is also known (for example, , See Patent Document 1).

Special table 2009-500062

  However, if the structure has a tiltable main body like the ironing board described in Patent Document 1, the structure becomes complicated.

  It is an object of the present invention to provide an ironing aid that can easily move the iron by improving the slip of the iron on the object to be ironed and can reduce the labor burden on the operator. To do.

  The invention according to claim 1 is an ironing aid that includes a surface cloth and is used to iron an object to be ironed that is placed on the surface cloth. A surface coating layer containing a silicon compound based on a dispersion solution of silicon polymesyl siloxane is formed in part, and the surface coating layer activates the bottom surface of the iron by sliding the iron on the surface coating layer. It is characterized by being configured to reduce resistance.

  In this way, when ironing, the bottom surface of the iron is activated by sliding the bottom surface of the iron so as to lightly press against the surface coating layer. As a result, when ironing, the frictional resistance of the bottom surface of the iron can be greatly reduced, the iron slips on the object to be ironed, and ironing can be performed smoothly and easily. .

  In this case, as described in claim 2, it is desirable that the silicon compound contains about 2% by weight of silicon by elemental analysis.

  In this way, it is possible to ensure good iron slipping that facilitates ironing.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, the surface cloth has a flexible main body portion on the lower side, and can be a foldable iron pad.

  In this way, when not ironing, it can be folded, does not require a large space, and has excellent storage properties.

  In this case, as described in claim 4, it is desirable that the main body has a laminated structure including an aluminum sheet.

  In this way, ironing can be performed with high thermal efficiency, which is advantageous for saving electricity costs.

  As described in claim 5, the surface fabric is preferably a woven fabric made of 100% cotton.

  If it does in this way, the good slip of an iron is secured and heat resistance can also be secured like a conventional thing.

  In the present invention, as described above, since the surface coating layer containing the silicon compound based on the dispersion solution of silicon polymesyl siloxane is formed on a part of the surface cloth, the iron is slid on the surface coating layer. Thus, the friction resistance can be greatly reduced by activating the bottom surface of the iron. Therefore, when ironing, the iron can slide on the object to be ironed by sliding the iron on the surface coating layer before use.

(A) (b) (c) is explanatory drawing which shows the iron pad which is one Embodiment of the ironing assistance tool which concerns on this invention, respectively. It is a figure which shows an example of the main-body part of the said iron pad.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIGS. 1A, 1B, and 1C are explanatory views showing an iron pad as an embodiment of the ironing aid according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a view showing an example of a main body portion of the iron pad. is there.

  As shown to Fig.1 (a), the iron pad 1 has the main-body part 2 of the planar view rectangular shape which has flexibility, The surface is covered with the surface cloth 3, and it is comprised so that folding is possible. And when ironing, a to-be-ironed object is mounted on the surface cloth 3, and it can iron in that state. On the surface of the surface cloth 3, a surface coating layer 4 containing a silicon compound based on a dispersion solution (emulsion) of silicon polymesyl siloxane having the following chemical formula is formed in part on the one side in the longitudinal direction of the pad. ing.

  The surface coating layer 4 is configured to be able to activate the bottom surface of the iron by bringing the bottom surface of the iron into contact and sliding the surface several times, thereby greatly reducing the frictional resistance of the bottom surface of the iron. ing. Therefore, when ironing, the iron slides on the object to be ironed by sliding the iron on the surface coating layer 4 prior to ironing.

  The width of the straight belt-like surface coating layer 4 is preferably wider than the width of the iron used. This is because the frictional resistance can be reduced over the entire bottom surface of the iron.

  The silicon compound has been confirmed by elemental analysis (energy dispersive X-ray analysis test) and an example of the formulation as follows.

Carbon (C) 83.47 wt%
Oxygen (O) 11.05
Silicon (Si) 1.95
Other 3.53
That is, the silicon compound contains about 2% by weight of silicon, and with this level of silicon blending, the iron can be easily slipped on the object to be ironed.

  The surface cloth 3 is a 100% cotton woven cloth, and is provided on the upper side (surface side) of the main body 2 as shown in FIG. 2, for example. The main body 2 has a laminated structure in which an upper polyurethane foam sheet 11, an aluminum sheet 12, a lower polyurethane foam sheet 13, and a polyester felt sheet 14 are laminated in order, and has flexibility. In addition, the laminated structure of the main-body part 2 is not restrict | limited to this. Further, the number of layers of the laminated structure of the main body 2 is not limited, can be appropriately changed from the viewpoint of weight, flexibility, and the order of lamination is not particularly limited.

  And when ironing using the iron pad 1, the power of a steam iron is turned ON and a steam iron is heated until it reaches the target temperature (for example, 50 degreeC) for ironing. On the other hand, the iron pad 1 is installed in a stable work place such as a desk.

  Then, prior to ironing, the steam iron is held and slid over the surface coating layer 4 of the iron pad 1 a plurality of times (for example, about three times). Thereby, the bottom surface of the iron is activated and the frictional resistance is reduced.

  Thereafter, ironing may be performed as in a normal case. When ironing, the activation of the bottom of the iron provides an extraordinary effect of reducing frictional resistance, so that the steam iron slides better against the object to be ironed, making ironing faster and easier. it can.

  If the iron slips on the object to be ironed due to repeated use of the iron, the surface coating layer 4 may be slid again.

  As described above, since the surface coating layer 4 (silicon compound) is provided on the surface of the iron pad 1, even if the iron slips, the bottom surface of the iron is lowered by sliding the surface coating layer 4 again. It can be activated to quickly restore the iron slip.

In addition to the above, the present invention can be implemented with the following modifications.
(i) As an ironing aid, in addition to the iron pad 1 described above, an ironing board and an ironing board cover can be used, and the shape thereof is not particularly limited.

  (ii) The surface coating layer 4 contains a silicon compound, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the bottom surface of the iron is activated to provide a frictional resistance reduction effect and improve the iron slip. If the surface coating layer which can be formed on a surface cloth can be formed, it can be used similarly.

  (ii) The surface coating layer 4 does not have to be a single straight belt-like portion, and can be a bent belt-like portion 4A as shown in FIG. 1 (b), as shown in FIG. 1 (c). In this way, a plurality of portions 4B can be formed. In addition, the shape is not limited to a band shape or a rectangular shape, and can be a circular shape, a polygonal shape such as a triangular shape, a quadrangular shape, a hexagonal shape, other pattern shapes, or a combination thereof, There is no particular limitation.

  (iv) Needless to say, the same effect can be achieved by using not only a steam iron but also a non-steam iron.
