Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an iron storage case for general household use.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, this type of iron storage case has a structure as shown in FIG. That is, the iron body 1 is placed on the stand 2 and the case cover 4 having the lock device 3 is provided.
By covering the iron body 1 from the upper surface side, the lock device 3 provided on the case cover 4 is provided with the convex portion 5 of the stand 2.
To be engaged with.

However, in the case of such a structure, when the iron body 1 is taken out, the operation portions 6 provided on both sides of the case cover 4 are provided.
The lock device 3 is operated in the unlocking direction. But,
Since the lock device 3 is provided on the case cover 4, even if the lock is released, the case cover 4 is lifted up with both hands as it is, or after the lock device 3 is released, the lock device 3 is placed on the upper surface of the case cover 4. It is necessary to hold the handle 6 provided and raise it. As described above, when the case cover 4 is lifted with both hands, it is necessary to lift the case cover 4 higher than the iron main body 1, so that the hand is tired and the usability is poor. There was a problem that the two were lifted up at the same time or touched the iron body 1.

Further, when the case 6 is lifted by holding the handle 6 after releasing the lock device 3, it is necessary to carry the handle from the lock device 3 to the handle 7, which is not convenient.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to improve the usability by releasing the lock of the case cover and simplifying the operation of lifting the case cover, and to stop the movement of the stand.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the first object, the present invention provides a stand for placing an iron, and an iron arranged on the stand, covering the iron placed on the stand,
It is provided with a case cover having a handle at the top and two locking devices for detachably coupling the case cover to the stand. The locking devices are arranged on both sides of the stand and linked by interlocking members to lock one side. The device is provided with an operation unit for unlocking.

Operation With the above configuration, while operating the operating section with one hand to unlock the locking device, hold the handle with the other hand,
The case cover can be removed as it is.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In FIGS. 1 to 6, reference numeral 1 denotes an iron body, which is placed on the stand 2. Reference numeral 3 denotes two lock fittings located on both sides of the stand 2, each having a notch portion 3'and an inclined portion 3 ", which are connected by an interlocking member 4. Reference numeral 5 denotes a part of the interlocking member 4. The interlocking member 4 has the rotating members 6 provided on both sides thereof rotatably mounted between the stand 2 and the stand back cover 7.

Reference numeral 8 is a spring for urging the lock fitting 3 in the locking direction via the interlocking member 4, 9 is an operating portion, and the convex portion 10 and the notch portion 10 'are provided.
And is disposed on one side of the stand 2. Operation unit 9
The protrusion 10 is usually located on the upper side in proximity to the protrusion 5 of the interlocking member 4. Reference numeral 11 denotes a case cover in which a handle 12 is formed on an upper portion and a cutout portion 13 facing the operation portion 9 is formed on one side of an open lower end, and 14 is detachably engaged with a cutout portion 3'of a lock fitting 3. Two lock pins are attached to both sides of the case cover 11. Lock pin 14 paired with these
The lock device 15 is constituted by the lock fitting 3 and the lock fitting 3.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. First, when the iron main body 1 is taken out, that is, when the lock device 15 is released, first, the operating portion 9 provided on the stand 2 is pushed down, and the convex portion 10 provided on the operating portion 9 is lowered, and this convex portion
A downward force is exerted on the convex portion 5 of the connecting member 4 which is close to 10.
Since the interlocking member 4 is rotatably attached to the stand 2 and the stand back cover 7 with circular connecting members 6 at both ends, when a downward force is applied to the convex portion 5 of the interlocking member 4, the lock fitting 3 rotates. exercise. At this time, the lock fitting 3 enters into the notch 10 'of the operating portion 9. As a result, the lock fitting 3
The position of the notch portion 3'is displaced, and the upper portion of the lock pin 14 provided on the case cover 11 is opened.

Therefore, when the handle 12 provided on the upper surface of the case cover 11 is lifted and lifted, the lock pin 14 and the lock fitting 3 are not caught, that is, the lock is released, and the case cover 11 can be lifted. .
In this way, the case cover 11 can be removed by lifting the handle 12 with one hand while pushing the operating portion 9 with one hand.

In addition, since the two lock fittings 3 are integrally formed by the connecting member 4, the two lock fittings 3 can be connected to each other with one operating portion 9.
Is something that can be moved.

Next, when the iron body 1 is stored, the iron body 1 is placed on the stand 2, the handle 12 is held, and the case cover 11 is covered. At this time, the lock pin 14 provided on the case cover 11 is By pushing the inclined portion 3 ″ of the lock fitting 3, a lateral force acts on the lock fitting to rotate the lock fitting 3. Then, when the lock pin 14 comes to the position of the cutout 3 ′ of the lock fitting 3. Lock metal 3 is spring 8
To return to the original position. Therefore, lock pin 14
Is housed in the notch 3'of the lock fitting 3, and even if the case cover 11 is lifted, the lock pin 14 comes into contact with the lock fitting 3 and is locked.

In this way, when the case cover 11 is locked, the handle 12 can be set on the stand 2 and locked, and the handle 12 can be carried as it is.

As described above, the present invention includes two lock devices that detachably connect the case cover to the stand. The lock devices are arranged on both sides of the stand and are linked by the interlocking member to lock one of them. Since the device is provided with an operating part for unlocking, it is possible to operate the operating part with one hand to unlock the locking device, and hold the handle with the other hand to remove the case cover as it is. Therefore, the operability can be remarkably enhanced. Also, since the operating part is provided on the stand, the stand does not move and the iron inside does not fall down,
The lock can be unlocked more safely.
