It is possible to improve operability and improve usability.

Even when the iron cover 13 is attached to the iron body 8 immediately after the ironing work is completed,
Since the operation unit 21 is provided away from the base 9, it can be prevented from becoming hot, and the operation can be improved and the usability can be improved.

When the iron cover 13 is mounted on the iron having the attachment portions 30 having different inclination angles, the suction member 19 corresponds to the inclination angle of the attachment portion 30 as shown in FIG. 6C. It is possible to attach it to the attachment portion 30 by suction.

A part of the holding portion 20 is elastically deformable, and the attracting member 19 to which the magnet 18 is fixed.
When detaching the iron from the iron cover 13, the holding portion 2
It can be performed by deforming a part of 0, and the holding part 2 is always provided.
It is held so as not to drop from 0.

(Embodiment 2) As shown in FIG. 7, when the attachment portion 31 is an iron made of synthetic resin, the adsorption member 19 cannot adsorb to the attachment portion 31. In this case, The magnetic attraction body 33 having the adhesive seal 32 is adhered to the attachment portion 31 so as to be attracted. The other structure is the same as that of the first embodiment.

According to the above construction, the adhesive seal 32 is attached to the attaching portion 31 even when the attaching portion 31 is an iron made of synthetic resin.
By adhering the magnetic adsorbent 33 having the above, the adsorbing member 19 can be adsorbed and the iron cover 13 can be attached, and the high temperature iron after use can be cooled safely, and at the same time, various types can be used. It can be attached to an iron, improving usability.
