Is formed.

<Ironing>
FIG. 4 is a top view showing a state where ironing is performed in the front-rear direction.
The front tip edge 2a of the hooking surface 2 of the base 3 is formed to be sharp. As a result, as shown by an arrow α1 in FIG. 4, in the ironing that moves the iron body 1 forward (arrow α1 in FIG. 3), the pressing force is applied to the clothes and the like by the hanging surface 2 of the base 3. When the main body 1 is moved, the front end edge 2a having a narrow width first hits clothing or the like. And it progresses, restraining clothes etc. with the front front-end edge 2a (A area | region of FIG. 3) of the shape where the front-end | tip sharpened.

  Then, the hanging surface 2 formed by the front right end edge 2ab and the front left end edge 2ac that gradually increase in width as it goes rearward from the front tip edge 2a hits clothing or the like. For this reason, the frictional force between the clothing or the like and the hooking surface 2 of the base 3 gradually increases from the front end edge 2a, so that ironing can be performed without causing wrinkles on the clothing or the like.

  Similarly, when the rear end edge 2d of the hooking surface 2 of the base 3 is pointed or pointed like a hook, the iron body 1 is moved backward as shown by an arrow α2 in FIG. 4 (see FIG. 3). The arrow α2) can be used for ironing. In ironing backward, the iron body 1 is moved backward while applying a pressing force to the clothes or the like by the hanging surface 2 of the base 3. Then, the rear end edge 2d (D region in FIG. 3) having a shape with a sharp tip at the beginning hits the clothing or the like, and proceeds while being restrained by the rear end edge 2d having the shape with the pointed clothing.

  Then, the hanging surface 2 formed by the rear right end edge 2bd and the rear left end edge 2cd, which gradually increase in width as it goes rearward from the rear tip edge 2d, hits clothing or the like. For this reason, the frictional force between the clothing and the like and the hooking surface 2 of the base 3 gradually increases from the rear end edge 2d. Ironing can be performed without generating wrinkles such as so-called return wrinkles.

FIG. 5 is a top view showing a state where ironing is performed in a wide area.
When the user wants to iron a wide area in the front-rear direction, as shown in FIG. 5, the user changes the handle 5 so that the right end edge 2b and the left end edge 2c of the hooking surface 2 of the base 3 are connected. Turn in the front-rear direction. In this state, the iron body 1 is moved in the front-rear direction (arrow α3, arrow α4 in FIG. 5) to perform ironing.

  At this time, the right tip edge 2b and the left tip edge 2c of the hooking surface 2 of the base 3 are formed to be pointed or pointed. Thereby, in the ironing which moves the iron main body 1 forward, when the iron main body 1 is moved forward while applying a pressing force to the clothes or the like by the hooking surface 2 of the base 3, the tip is initially narrow and narrow. The right end edge 2b (C region in FIG. 3) of the shape hits clothing or the like. And it advances, restraining clothes etc. with the right-side front-end edge 2b of the sharp shape.

  Then, the hanging surface 2 formed by the front right end edge 2ab and the rear right end edge 2bd, which gradually increase in width as it goes rearward from the right front end edge 2b, hits clothing or the like. For this reason, the frictional force between the clothing and the like and the hanging surface 2 of the base 3 gradually increases from the right end edge 2b, so that the clothing can be ironed without wrinkles.

  Similarly, as shown by an arrow α4 in FIG. 5, in the ironing in which the iron body 1 is returned backward, that is, the iron body 1 is moved backward, the pressing surface 2 of the base 3 applies a pressing force to the clothes and the like. The iron body 1 is moved backward. In this case, the left tip edge 2c (B area in FIG. 3) having a sharp tip at the beginning first hits the clothing or the like, and the clothing or the like is restrained by the left tip edge 2c having the sharp shape.

  Then, the hanging surface 2 formed by the front left end edge 2ac and the rear left end edge 2cd, which gradually increases in width as it goes rearward from the left front end edge 2c, hits clothing or the like. For this reason, the frictional force between the clothing and the like and the hooking surface 2 of the base 3 gradually increases from the left end edge 2c. Ironing can be done without generating wrinkles.

  In the case of using steam with the hanging surface 2 upright, as shown in FIG. 5, the user can change the posture of the iron body 1 by moving the handle 5 so that the width becomes wider in the vertical and horizontal directions. Convenient. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, when the user uses steam with the handle 5 in the vertical direction, the iron body 1 can be moved in the vertical and horizontal directions in the same manner.

By applying the ironing shown in FIG. 5, the ironing in the left-right direction can be performed smoothly even if it is moved in the left-right direction in FIG. 4 (the directions of arrows α5, α6 in FIG. 4).
In contrast, conventionally, as shown in FIG. 17A, the side edge 201c of the hooking surface 202 of the iron 201 is formed in a curved shape, so that the operation of moving the iron body 201 in the lateral direction is performed. When it went, it was not possible to move smoothly by involving clothes and the like, wrinkles occurred, and smooth ironing was impossible.

  Further, since it is possible to prevent return wrinkles that occur when the iron body 1 is returned, it is not necessary to form the hanging surface 2 of the base 3 by projecting a part of the hanging surface 2 downward as in the prior art. Formed on a flat surface.

According to the above configuration, as shown in FIG. 5, even when ironing on the left and right wide surfaces using the left and right sides (B region and C region in FIG. 3) of the hooking surface 2, a sharp pointed shape The right front edge 2b and the left front edge 2c can prevent wrinkles and prevent return wrinkles.
Therefore, ironing can be performed on a wide surface in the left-right direction.

  Moreover, as shown in FIG. 3, the hooking surface 2 moves the iron body 1 not only in the front but also in the rear direction by the front tip edge 2a and the rear tip edge 2d which are pointed in the front, rear, left and right tips. Also in the case of making it wrinkle, it can advance by wrinkling clothes and the like. Therefore, even if ironing is performed in the front-rear direction, wrinkles such as clothes can be prevented or suppressed by using the front and back of the hooking surface 2 (A region and D region in FIG. 3), and wrinkles can be prevented or suppressed.

Therefore, unlike the conventional case, ironing can be performed by moving the iron body 1 freely in the front-rear and left-right directions without worrying about the direction of the sharp shape.
Therefore, when reciprocating the arm during the ironing operation, the ironing operation can always be performed, and the efficient and effective ironing operation without wasteful operation can be performed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5, when the iron body 1 is taken out from the user's body in the forward direction, the left and right sides of the hooking surface 2 (B region and C region in FIG. 3) are grasped by holding the handle 5 in the horizontal direction. Can be ironed without twisting your wrist. Therefore, the burden on the wrist of the user is small. In contrast, conventionally, as shown in FIGS. 17 (a) and 17 (b), the hook tip shape of the hooked surface is the front tip 202a or the front / rear tips 302a and 302b. Iron in the direction. As a result, the wrist was tired and ironing was difficult.

  In addition, even when steam is used in the posture shown in FIG. 5 (use in a state in which the hooking surface 2 is set up), the iron body 1 can advance with wrinkles in the vertical and horizontal directions. Therefore, wrinkles such as clothes can be prevented from getting back and wrinkles can be prevented. Therefore, the iron body 1 can be moved in the vertical and horizontal directions without worrying about the direction of the tip shape, and steam can be used or ironed.

  By the way, in order to prevent wrinkles in the past, the ironing surface has a convex shape with a part of the iron protruding downward. It was necessary to reciprocate on the clothes.

However, in this configuration, the iron body 1 is moved in the front / rear / left / right direction or the upper / lower / left / right direction depending on the shape of the rear end edge 2d of the rear edge of the hooking surface 2 and the shape of the right end edge 2b and the left end edge 2c Even if it is made, return wrinkles can be prevented.
Therefore, the hanging surface 2 of the base 3 can be formed into a flat surface. Therefore, ironing can be performed while always applying the entire surface of the hanging surface 2 to clothing or the like, and effective ironing is possible.
