For example, as described in Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. 3-51440, it is as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. Less than,
The configuration will be described with reference to the drawings.

As shown in the drawing, a mounting table 1 on which an iron main body (not shown) is mounted, a storage case 2 which surrounds the iron main body, and whose lower opening is closed by the mounting table 1 are described. A lock device 3 for detachably connecting the mounting table 1 and the storage case is provided, and the locking device 3 includes a lock body 4 movably provided on one of the mounting table 1 and the storage case 2, and on the other. A lock pin 6 which is provided and engages with the hook portion 5 of the lock body 4 with a predetermined motion play. The lock portion 4 of the lock body 4 has the storage case 2 when the storage case 2 is lifted. An engagement groove 7 is formed to prevent the lock body 4 from moving in the unlocking direction by engaging with the lock pin 6 in response to the relative separating movement of the mounting table 1 and the mounting table 1.

Reference numeral 8 is a claw portion provided at the end of the engaging groove 7 of the lock body 4 for restricting the operation of the lock body 4, and 9 is an operation button for moving the receiving portion 10 of the lock body 4 in the direction a in the figure. It is pushed down to rotate the lock body 4 to release the engagement between the lock body 4 and the lock pin 6. Reference numeral 11 is a lock body spring that biases the rotation position of the lock body 4 to the reference position. Reference numeral 12 is a handle provided above the storage case 2 for carrying the storage case 2 and the like.

To explain the operation of the above-mentioned conventional structure, first, when the storage case 2 is removed, when the storage case 2 is placed and the operation button 9 is pressed downward, the lock is interlocked with it. The receiving portion 10 of the body 4 is pressed. At this time, the lock pin 6 is located above the upper end of the claw portion 8, and the lock body 4 is disengaged from the storage case 2 against the biasing force of the lock body spring 11. Therefore, the storage case 2 can be detached from the mounting table 1 by lifting the storage case 2 upward in the state as it is.

When the ironing work is completed and the iron is stored, the iron placed on the placing table 1 is covered with the storage case 2 so as to cover the iron from above, and the iron is gradually lowered downward.

Of the lock body 4 is moved downward from the upper end of the lock body 4 to prevent the lock body 4 from being disengaged from the engagement groove 7, and the rotation of the lock body 4 is also restricted. Therefore, when the storage case 2 is lifted, the lock body 4 is not released even if the operation button 9 is operated.

[0008]

However, in such a conventional configuration, when the mounting table 1 and the storage case 2 are engaged with each other in the placed state, the storage case 2 is held by the handle 12.
If a rotational force is applied to the storage case 2, a slight displacement occurs in the rotational direction between the storage case 2 and the mounting table 1. In other words, the rotation of the mounting table 1 is slightly delayed with respect to the rotation of the storage case 2. In this case, the storage case 2
When the lock body 4 is rotated in the direction in which the lock body 4 rotates to release the engagement of the lock pin 6, that is, in the direction of C in the figure, the upper end of the claw portion 8 gets over the lock pin 6, The engagement between the table 1 and the storage case 2 can be easily disengaged.

Also, holding the handle 12 to the storage case 2
Even in the state in which the lock is hung, when the acceleration of the rotational force from the handle 12 is large, the lock pin 6 gets over the upper end of the claw portion 8 and the mounting base 1 and the storage case 2 are easily disengaged. There was a problem of becoming.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems of the prior art. Even when a force is applied in any direction to the storage case by the handle while the mounting table and the storage case are engaged, the storage table and the storage case can be easily stored. The purpose is to provide a safer coupling means in which the case is not disengaged.
