Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a steam iron in which a handle is detachably attached to an iron body.

[Conventional technology]

The conventional steam iron was developed in 1987-115200.
As described in Publication No. (D06F 75/34), a handle is detachably attached to an iron body equipped with a hot plate, etc., and a water tank is detachably attached to the iron body.

[The problem that the idea aims to solve]

The conventional steam iron has a problem in that the iron body becomes thicker and larger because the water tank is detachably attached to the iron body.

In addition, when supplying water to the water tank and draining water from the water tank, when the water tank is attached to the iron body, it is extremely heavy and difficult to operate, and when the water tank is detached from the iron body, the small size of the water tank is difficult to hold and handle. This is inconvenient, and there is a risk of wiping out the aquarium and damaging the aquarium nozzle.

Furthermore, since the water tank is attached to the iron body, there is a problem in that it is difficult to see the water level in the water tank.

The present invention has been made with the above-mentioned points in mind, and an object of the present invention is to provide a steam iron that has a smaller iron body, facilitates water supply and drainage, and prevents damage to the nozzle.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to solve the above problems, the steam iron of the present invention includes an iron main body having a base at the bottom and a heat insulating cover at the top, a handle detachably attached to the main body, a water tank attached to the handle, and a handle. It consists of a protective wall that extends forward at the lower front part of the tank and covers and protects the nozzle at the bottom of the tank.

[Effect]

In the steam iron of the present invention configured as described above, a handle is detachably attached to the iron body, a water tank is attached to the handle, and a protective wall covers and protects the nozzle at the bottom of the water tank. The iron body is thinner and smaller, and the water supply and drainage to the water tank can be operated by holding the handle.It is easy to handle, there is no risk of losing the water tank, and there is no risk of damaging the nozzle. You can easily see the water level in the aquarium.

〔Example〕

One embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

In those drawings, 1 has a base 2 at the bottom,
The iron body has two layers of lower and upper heat insulating covers 3 and 4 on the top, 5 is a base lid attached to the top surface of the base 2, and the base lid 5 provides a steam generation chamber 6 on the top of the base 2. A steam passage 7 is formed. Reference numeral 8 indicates a steam outlet opening on the lower surface of the base 2 and communicating with the steam passage 7; 9 indicates a heater for heating the base 2; 10 indicates a temperature control knob provided approximately in the center of the upper surface of the upper heat insulating cover 4; and 11 indicates a temperature control knob. A front locking portion 12 formed on the front of the upper surface of the upper heat insulating cover 4 so as to protrude upward is a locking pawl formed on the rear surface of the front locking portion 11 .

13 is a handle that can be attached to and detached from the iron body 1; 14;
1 is a mounting base below the handle 13; 15 is a protective wall extending forward at the lower front portion of the handle 13; and 16 is an opening provided in the protective wall 15 through which the front locking portion 11 is inserted.

17 is a lock knob provided at the rear of the upper heat insulation cover 4, and is biased forward by a spring.
After the rear edge of the opening 16 of the handle 13 is locked with the locking pawl 12 of the front locking part 11, when the rear of the handle 13 is pushed down, the lock knob 17 is moved back, and then the handle 13 is locked.
The knob 17 fits into the recess at the rear of the mounting base 14, and the handle 13 does not come off from the main body 1 unless the knob 17 is moved back.

18 is an aquarium, which includes an aquarium base 19 and a partition plate 2.
0 and a water tank lid 21, and is detachably mounted on the protective wall 15 on the front side of the handle 13, and the lower part of the water tank 18 is covered by the protective wall 15 in the mounted state. 22 is a nozzle that protrudes from the lower part of the water tank 18 and controls the dripping of water;
It is located above 6.

23 is a heat-resistant and flexible cylindrical packing that communicates with the steam generation chamber 6 and whose upper part faces the upper surface of the front locking part 11; a water tank 18 is attached to the handle 13, and the handle 13 is attached to the main body 1. In the closed state, the nozzle 22 engages the upper edge of the packing 23, and the packing 23 insulates heat from the upper heat insulating cover 4.

When the handle 13 is removed from the main body 1, the lower part of the water tank 18 is covered and protected by the protective wall 15, and the nozzle 22 is housed without protruding from the opening 16. The nozzle 22 is protected when detached from the main body 1 for water supply and drainage, or when the main body 1 is stored in the handle 13.

[Effect of idea]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, it produces the effects described below.

A handle 13 is removably attached to the iron body 1, which has a base 2 at the bottom and heat insulating covers 3 and 4 at the top, and a water tank 18 is attached to the handle 13, and the water tank 18 is not attached to the iron body 1. The thickness of the iron body 1 can be made thinner, and the iron body 1 can be made smaller. Moreover,
Since the water tank 18 is attached to the handle 13, it can be operated by holding the handle 13 during supply and discharge, making it easy to handle and preventing powder from forming in the water tank 18.

Moreover, since the protective wall 15 extending forward at the lower front part of the handle 13 covers and protects the nozzle 22 at the bottom of the water tank 18, the nozzle 22 is protected when the handle 13 is detached from the iron body 1. There is no damage and clogging of the nozzle 22 can be prevented.

Furthermore, the water tank 18 is not on the iron main body 1 side,
Since it is attached to the handle 13 side, the water level in the water tank 18 can be easily viewed by holding the handle 13.
