Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention is an iron used to remove wrinkles from clothes and other fabric products and adjust the shape, and in particular, irons that are used for ironing or pressing products to retain moisture and other properties. This relates to a household roll iron that removes wrinkles from clothes or smoothes them by applying steam to give them a smooth finish.

[Prior art]

In general, an iron that sprays steam onto the product to be ironed and heats it internally using electricity, uses an electric heater to heat water in a water reservoir held in the iron body to generate steam, and then uses the steam to iron the product. An iron that heats and presses while supplying iron is known.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, conventional steam irons have a flat pressing surface and a weighted iron, or are made of a heavy metal plate base, and are pressed against the product to be ironed or pressed. The surface of other fabric products may be rubbed,
Not only did the finish become poor as the surface became shiny, slippery, or extremely smooth, with no ridges, but the amount of steam supplied was too low to allow for good ironing. Ironing work was also a problem, as it was hard work and did not improve work efficiency.

The present invention aims to eliminate these conventional drawbacks, and aims to provide a roll iron that can remove wrinkles and shape clothing without damaging the product material, with a good finish, and with high efficiency. This is what I did.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention provides a support member 5 ₁ , 5 ₁ rotatably equipped with an air permeable drum 5 that rolls in contact with the product to be ironed, and a water storage portion 1 that can be supplied with water from the outside within the air permeable drum 5 . A heater 2 for electrically heating the water in the water storage section 1 to generate steam, and a steam nozzle 3 for spraying the generated steam onto the product to be ironed are provided. and the steam nozzle 3 are connected by a steam supply pipe 3 ₁ , and a hot air pipe 13 is provided in communication with the steam supply pipe 3 ₁ via an on-off valve 4 , and a blowing fan with a heating coil 8 is connected to the hot air pipe 13 . 7, and a handle 10 is provided on the support members 5 ₁ and 5 ₁ .

[Effect]

In this roll iron, when ironing or pressing products such as clothes, the water storage part 1
When the heater 2 is energized by the operation switch _S1 , the water storage part 1 is electrically heated and steam is generated.The steam supply pipe ₃₁ is opened by the on-off valve 4, and steam is supplied from the steam nozzle 3 to the drum 5. When the air blowing fan 7 is driven by the operation switch _S2 , the heating coil 8 is energized at the same time as the air is blown, and the hot air flows into the steam supply pipe ₃₁ . It is force-fed with steam (ejector effect) from the steam nozzle 3 and sprayed from the outer periphery of the drum. When the drum 5 is run in contact with clothes, the drum 5 rotates and supplies hot air with steam to the clothes. It can efficiently smooth out wrinkles and adjust the shape while moistening.

〔Example〕

The present invention will be explained using the examples shown in Figures 1 to 4.
A support member 5 ₁ , 5 ₁ rotatably equipped with a permeable drum 5 having ventilation holes 6 is provided with a water storage part 1 , such as a storage tank, which can be supplied with water from the outside within the permeable drum 5 , and the water in the water storage part 1 is electrically supplied. A heater 2 is provided to generate steam by heating the product, and a steam nozzle 3 is provided to spray the generated steam onto the product to be ironed. A hot air pipe ₁₃ is provided in communication with the steam supply pipe 3 ₁ via an on-off valve 4 , and the hot air pipe 13 is equipped with a blowing fan 7 having a heating coil 8 . ₁ , 5 ₁ handle 10
It is equipped as a roll iron.

In this case, the steam nozzle 3 uses one or more perforated pipes for spraying, and the on-off valve 4 is a three-way valve, which is installed at the branch point between the steam supply pipe 3 ₁ and the hot air pipe 13, and the hot air steam In order to switch between supply and hot air supply, it is preferable to connect it to an operating knob, a handle arm, or a cam mechanism, and the steam supply pipe 3 ₁ or the water storage section 1 as required.
A flow path may be provided to connect and switch the steam to another steam supply source to facilitate commercial switching. The air permeable drum 5 is a cylindrical body surrounded by a perforated plate whose surface is formed into an uneven mesh or a perforated plate covered with a mesh, and is rotated around a supporting member ₅₁ serving as an end plate. It is equipped to be movable and detachable.

Further, the handle 10 is a fork handle with forked arms so that the ventilation drum 5 can be easily rotated, and the grip portion is equipped with switches S ₁ and S ₂ for operating the heater 2 and the blower fan 7. It is in an easy-to-handle format.

Further, the handle 10 is provided with a blowing fan 7 serving as a hot air unit and a heating coil 8, which are connected to a hot air pipe 13.

The water storage section 1 is a hollow cylinder whose both ends are sealed with end plates of support members 5 ₁ and 5 ₁ ,
A heating coil 8 of a heating element such as resistance heating or induction heating is wrapped around the outer periphery of the coil 8 through an insulating material, and a ventilation drum 5 is provided with a gap around the periphery. As shown in Figure 4, the direction, size, number, and arrangement of the openings are appropriately considered so that the mesh irregularities on the outer surface can be provided at random to effectively smooth out wrinkles and shape clothing.

Reference numeral 9 in the figure denotes a fitting sealing member, which is provided as required. 11 and 12 are mounting screws, 14 is a plug for power connection, 15 is a water supply channel, 16 is a water supply cap,
17 is a guide groove.

FIG. 5 shows another embodiment of the present invention, in which a hot air unit is housed inside a drum 5 to make it more compact, and hot air blowing fans 7 are collectively attached to a casing 18 using a fixed support member ₅₁ . , a fan 7 is driven by a motor 19.

[Effect of idea]

The present invention includes a water storage part that can be supplied with water, a heater that heats the water in the water storage part electrically to generate steam, and a steam nozzle that sprays the generated steam onto the product to be ironed. The gas phase part of the water storage part and the steam nozzle are connected by a steam supply pipe, a hot air pipe is provided in communication with the steam supply pipe via an on-off valve, and a blowing fan with a heating coil is provided in this hot air flow path. , and by providing a handle on the supporting member, the product to be ironed such as clothes can be swollen with hot air and steam or both alone without being pressed, making it possible to easily smooth out wrinkles and shape clothes and other fabric products. It has practical effects such as being able to iron with good finish and efficiency without damaging the product material, and also being able to easily supply hot air steam or hot air by operating a switching valve and being easy to handle.
