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.

Further, as described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 57-129000, a water tank is detachably attached directly to the iron body, and a packing is provided at the connection between the nozzle of the water tank and the iron body.

[The problem that the idea attempts to solve]

The former type of conventional steam iron has the problem 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. It's inconvenient.

On the other hand, the latter type of conventional steam iron does not take into account the protection of the packing at the connection between the nozzle of the aquarium and the iron body, and has the problem of damaging the packing.

With the above points in mind, the present invention aims to reduce the size of the iron body, facilitate water supply and drainage, and easily protect the connection between the water tank nozzle and the iron body. The purpose is to provide ironing.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the steam iron of the present invention includes an iron main body with a base at the bottom and a heat insulating cover at the top in which a steam generation chamber is formed, a locking part provided on the top surface of the cover, and a locking part provided on the top surface of the cover. A handle that is removably attached to the top surface by a locking part, a water tank that is removably attached to the handle and has a nozzle at the bottom, and a water tank that communicates with the steam generation chamber and is surrounded by a locking part and is locked at the top. It consists of a packing made of heat-resistant and flexible resin that is exposed on the upper surface of the part and fitted into the nozzle.

[Effect]

In the steam iron of the present invention configured as described above, the handle is detachably attached to the locking part on the top surface of the iron body, and the water tank is detachably attached to the handle, so that the thickness of the iron body can be reduced. It is thin and compact, and when the aquarium is attached to the handle, the water supply and drainage to the aquarium can be operated by holding the handle.It is easy to handle, there is no risk of losing the aquarium, and you can also check the water level of the aquarium by holding the handle. It is also possible to remove the water tank from the handle and supply and drain the water tank.

Moreover, since the packing at the connection part between the nozzle of the water tank and the iron body is covered by the locking part on the top surface of the iron body, the locking part also serves as a protection for the packing, and no other parts are required. is easy.

〔Example〕

One embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

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 at 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 protection wall extending forward at the lower front part of the handle 13; 16 is an opening provided in the protection wall 15 through which the front locking portion 11 is inserted.

Reference numeral 17 designates a lock knob of a rear locking portion provided at the rear of the upper heat insulating cover 4, which is biased forward by a spring, and a locking tongue portion 18 at the rear edge of the opening 16 of the handle 13 is attached to the front locking portion. 11, when the rear of the handle 13 is pushed down, the lock knob 17 retreats, and then the mounting base 14 of the handle 13 is pushed down.
The knob 17 fits into the recess at the rear of the knob 17.
The handle 13 will not separate from the main body 1 unless the handle 13 is moved backward.

19 is an aquarium, which includes an aquarium base 20 and a partition plate 2.
1 and a water tank lid 22, 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 19 is covered by the protective wall 15 in the mounted state. 23 is a nozzle that protrudes from the lower part of the water tank 19 and controls the dripping of water;
It is located above 6.

Reference numeral 24 denotes a heat-resistant and flexible cylindrical packing that communicates with the steam generation chamber 6 through the water passage hole 25 of the base lid 5 and whose upper part faces the upper surface of the front locking part 11. The nozzle 23 fits into the upper edge of the packing 24 in a state where the water tank 19 is covered and protected by the section 11, the handle 13 is attached to the handle 13, and the handle 13 is attached to the main body 1.

When the handle 13 is removed from the main body 1, the lower part of the water tank 19 is covered and protected by the protective wall 15, and the nozzle 23 is housed without protruding from the opening 16, so that the iron cannot be used or the handle 13 can be removed. Even when the main body 1 is housed in the handle 13, the water tank 19 and the nozzle 23 are protected.

In addition, the water tank 19 can be attached to and detached from the handle 13 whether the handle 13 is attached to the main body 1 or detached from the main body 1, and the packing 24 is a heat insulating member that insulates the heat dissipated from the upper heat insulating cover 4. .

[Effect of idea]

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

A handle 13 is detachably attached to an iron body 1 having a base 2 at the bottom and heat insulating covers 3 and 4 at the top, a water tank 19 is detachably attached to the handle 13, and the water tank 19 is attached to the iron body 1. Therefore, the thickness of the iron main body 1 can be reduced, and the iron main body 1 can be made smaller. In addition, when the water tank 19 is attached to the handle 13, it can be operated by holding the handle 13 when supplying and discharging, making it easy to handle, preventing loss of the water tank 19, and removing the water tank 19 by holding the handle 13. The water level can be seen, and the water tank 19 can be detached from the handle 13 to supply and drain water, thus expanding the range of operating means.

Moreover, since the packing 24 at the connection part between the nozzle 23 of the water tank 19 and the iron body 1 is covered by the locking part 11 of the handle 13 provided on the top surface of the iron body 1, the packing 24 is completely closed. Since the locking portion 11 also serves as the protection, no other parts are required, and the configuration can be extremely simple.
