BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an iron to which a balancer device is attached for easy operation, and more particularly to a commercial iron.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Since an iron for business use is heavy and used for a long time, it is connected to a balancer through a wire to reduce the weight, so that the burden on the user is reduced. There is. A conventional iron of this type is shown in FIG.

In the figure, A is an iron body and 10 is an L.
The metal fitting is shaped like a letter, the lower end of which is fixed to the upper surface of the iron body A, and the hole 11 is formed at the upper end. Reference numeral 12 is a first ring mounted in the hole 11, and 13 is a second ring engaged with the first ring 12. Further, 4 is a balancer having an urging spring, which is connected to the second ring 13 by a wire -4a and normally urges the iron body A upward to facilitate the ironing work. In addition,
Reference numeral 4b is a hook provided at the tip of the wire-4a for engaging the second ring 13.

[0004]

However, the above-mentioned conventional techniques have the following disadvantages. That is, as shown by the solid line in FIG. 5, as long as the iron body A is used on the flat portion of the ironing board E, the iron moves smoothly in the horizontal direction by the cooperation of the balancer, and no special operation is required. .

However, for example, in order to use the iron body A at an arcuately inclined portion at the end of the ironing board, the iron is used by inclining downward against the biasing spring of the balancer as shown by the dashed line in FIG. During the ironing work in such a portion, the worker must continue the work while keeping the iron at a predetermined inclination. For this reason, the burden on the operator is increased, work efficiency,
There is a possibility that work quality and the like may deteriorate.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an iron having an iron body and a hanging metal fitting for connecting the iron body to a balancer device, wherein the hanging metal fitting is placed on the upper part of the iron body in the left and right end directions of the iron. It is composed of an arcuate suspender rotatably attached and a ring that engages with this suspender and is freely movable on the suspender.
The above-mentioned conventional problem is solved by setting the rotation fulcrum substantially on the center line of the weight of the iron in the left-right direction and setting the center of the arc forming the shape of the hanging tool on the center line of the iron in the front-rear direction. Is what you are trying to do.

[0007]

In the present invention, the iron does not change the height of the ring that engages with the balancer device, in other words, it does not resist the biasing spring of the balancer device and moves forward and backward.
It can be freely tilted to the left and right.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 to 4 are views showing an embodiment of the present invention. 1 and 2, A is the iron body,
1 is a mounting plate fixed to the upper surface of the iron body A, B
Is a hanging metal fitting composed of a ring 2 and an arcuate hanging tool 3, 4 is a balancer having a built-in urging spring, and 4a is a wire having a hook 4b at its tip. As shown in FIG. 2, the mounting plate 1 has holes 1a and 1b at the rising portions at both ends in the front-rear direction of the iron body A, and the bent portions at both ends of the suspender 3 are axially supported in these holes. The hanging tool 3 can rotate in the left and right end directions of the iron body A.

The ring 2 to which the hook 4b is engaged engages with the suspender 3 at its opening so that it can move freely on the suspender 3. By the way, although the suspender 3 is formed in an arc shape as described above, the center of the arc is substantially on the center line of the weight of the iron body A in the front-rear direction as shown in FIG. ). Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the holes 1a and 1b of the mounting plate 1 which serve as the fulcrum of rotation of the hanging device 3 are substantially on the center line of the weight of the iron body A in the left-right direction (line C-C in FIG. 4).
Is set to be located in. In the figure,
Reference numeral 5 is an iron handle.

The operation of this embodiment having the above construction will be described with reference to FIGS. 1, 3 and 4. As shown in Figure 1,
The iron is locked on the hook 4b while the ring 2 is positioned on the top of the hanging tool 3 in the horizontal plane of the ironing board, and the biasing spring pressure of the balancer 4 is set to a predetermined value. When the iron moves in the horizontal plane, the ring 2 is located at the top of the hanger 3, that is, the distance from the horizontal plane is kept constant, and the iron moves upward by the biasing force set in the balancer-4. Move while receiving.

Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the ironing board E
When it becomes necessary to incline the iron in the front-back direction (longitudinal direction) of the arcuate end of the iron, the suspender 3 rotates around the center point of the arc forming the shape together with the inclination of the iron body A. . With the rotation of the hanger 3,
Since the ring 2 moves relatively on the hanger 3 and maintains a constant height with the horizontal surface of the ironing board, no special force against the upward biasing force of the balancer-4 is applied to the iron. However, the iron can obtain the required inclination.

That is, as shown in the left side of FIG. 3, as the front end of the iron main body A is tilted toward the arcuate end of the ironing board E, the suspending tool 3 rotates to the left, but the ring 2 moves above the suspending tool 3. Since the iron moves relatively to the right and maintains its height in the original state, the iron is inclined according to the arc shape of the end portion of the ironing board E without applying a special force to the iron. On the right side of Fig. 3, the rear part of the iron is the ironing board E.
It shows the case where the arc-shaped end portion of the above is confronted, but its operation is exactly the same as that described above. Since the center of the arc forming the shape of the hanger 3 is set substantially on the center line of the weight of the iron in the front-rear direction, the iron can be smoothly inclined in a predetermined direction in any of the front-rear directions.

FIG. 4 is an explanatory view of a case where the iron is tilted in the left-right direction instead of the front-back direction at the arcuate end of the ironing board E. Even if the iron main body A is tilted to the left and right at the end, the suspender 3 is provided with the hole portion 1 which is the fulcrum of rotation thereof.
The ring 2 does not change in height because it rotates relative to a and 1b to maintain the original upright state. Therefore,
The iron main body A will have a predetermined inclination without applying a special force against the urging force of the balancer-4. Since the holes 1a and 1b, which are the fulcrums of the hangings 3, are set substantially on the center line of the weight of the iron in the left-right direction, the iron can be smoothly tilted in either the left-right direction in a well-balanced manner.

[0014]

As described above, in the iron according to the present invention, at the arcuate end of the ironing board, when the iron is tilted in the front-rear direction, the ring follows the suspending tool corresponding to the iron tilting direction. While moving relatively,
When the iron is tilted in the left-right direction, the suspending tool rotates relative to the tilt of the iron, so that the iron can be tilted without working against the biasing spring of the balancer when the iron end is worked. . Therefore, the burden on ironing is reduced, and both work efficiency and work quality are improved.
