2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, this type of iron storage case has
The structure as shown in FIG. 5 was common. That is, the iron body 11 is placed on a stand 13 provided on the bottom of the case body 12 in a self-standing state, and the opening 14 of the case body 12 is configured to be openable and closable with a case cover 15. A heat-resistant heat shield plate 16 is provided inside the case body 12 so that the case body 11 can be stored in a hot state.
The upper surface of the device has a handle 17 which is convenient for carrying.

[0003]

However, such a configuration has the following problems. That is,
When the base 18 is put into the case body 12 in a hot state after using the iron body 11, a heat-resistant heat shield plate made of a thermosetting resin or the like so that the case body 12 made of a thermoplastic resin is not thermally deformed. Although provided, the movement of the iron body 11 in the case body 12 is regulated by the heat shield plate 16 so that the high-temperature base 18 does not directly contact the case body 12.

[0004] Therefore, the heat shield plate 16 provided inside the case main body 12 covers all the places where the temperature becomes high by the base 18.
In order to prevent the mounting portion 7 from being overheated, there is a problem that the heat shield plate 16 becomes large, the iron storage case itself becomes heavy, and it is inconvenient to carry.

The case body 12 is provided with a lip 19 all around the opening 14 in order to increase the rigidity of the opening, and is made thicker than other parts.
No. 2 was not only heavy, but also had a problem that the moldability deteriorated.

Further, by tilting the stand 13 to incline the iron body 11 toward the heat shield plate 16 to prevent the iron body 11 from swaying during transportation, the iron body 11 is stabilized. It could not be held in a state.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve such a conventional problem, and has as its first object to obtain a lightweight and highly safe iron storage case. A second object is to obtain an iron storage case that is lightweight and has excellent moldability while maintaining the rigidity of the case cover.

[0008]

In order to achieve the first object, an iron storage case according to the present invention comprises a stand for mounting an iron main body with a base facing downward and inclined forward and upward. comprising a case cover made of resin covering the iron body is placed on a stand from above, and a locking device for detachably coupling the stand and the case cover, said case cover of the upper surface portion
Supports downward from the wall toward the front of the top of the iron body
To move the iron body upward and forward.
In addition to restricting the movement, the thickness of the front part of the upper part of the case cover facing the front part of the iron body is set to be thicker than the other parts.

In order to achieve the second object, an iron storage case according to the present invention has a substantially rectangular opening formed in a case cover which is fitted to the outer peripheral portion of the side surface of the stand and covers the upper surface thereof. The thickness of the corner portion of the case cover is set to be thinner than the other side wall portions.

[0010]

According to the iron storage case of the present invention, when the iron body is placed on the stand and the case cover is attached, the iron storage case is opened from the inner wall of the upper surface of the case cover.
Support that protrudes downward toward the upper front part of the iron body
Part moves the iron body upward and forward
Can be reliably held at a predetermined position and the movement of the iron body during transportation can be regulated.

Therefore, the high-temperature base does not touch the case cover and causes thermal deformation, so that the case cover can be prevented from overheating without providing a heat shield plate, and the air heated by the hot base rises. Even if the portion of the upper surface of the case cover facing the front of the iron is heated, the thickness of this portion is made thicker than the other portions, so that the temperature rise on the outer surface of the case cover can be suppressed low.

Further, the opening of the case cover which is fitted to the outer peripheral portion of the side surface of the stand and covers the upper surface thereof is formed in a substantially rectangular shape, and the thickness of the corner portion of this case cover is set thinner than the other side wall portions. As a result, the weight of the case cover can be reduced without lowering the rigidity of the case cover, and the moldability can be improved.
