Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a household steam ejector having a removable brush member.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventionally, this type of steam ejector has been developed, for example, by
As shown in Japanese Patent No. 49388, the structure was as shown in FIG. 13. That is, the brush member 1 is the main body 2
When in use, it is located on the base 3 side, and when not in use, it is located on the side of the main body 2 and housed in the main body 2 side.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, with such a structure, the brush member 1 is always attached to the main body 2, so when holding the main body 2 by hand when ironing etc. The member 1 is very obstructive, and the fulcrum portion 4 for rotating the brush member 1 protrudes further outward than the main body 2, making it difficult to use. Further, since the brush member 1 cannot be easily attached or detached from the main body 2, there is a problem in that it is difficult to clean the dirty brush member 1.

In other words, since the brush member 1 is pivotally mounted on the main body 2,
Even when the brush member 1 is not in use, it must be housed on the side of the main body 2, and in order to rotate toward the base 3, a fulcrum portion 4 is required, which inevitably causes the brush member to protrude outward from the main body 1. In addition to being a nuisance, the brush member 1, which gets dirty easily, cannot be attached or removed, making cleaning difficult.

Therefore, the present invention provides a gap between the brush member and the base to prevent the temperature of the brush member from rising, and also encloses the entire outer periphery of the base so that the user's hands can freely use the base when attaching and detaching the brush member or when using the brush member. The best thing to do is to obtain a steam ejector with a brush member that is easy to use.

The second purpose is to install the brush member on the side of the main body, where the temperature is lower, to keep the temperature rise of the brush member lower and to make it easier to attach and detach the brush member during heating. It's about getting.

The third purpose is to simplify the mold structure by making the flange member fully slidable without providing a groove in the main body.
To provide a steam ejector in which a brush member can be attached and detached at low cost.

A fourth object is to provide a steam ejector which prevents the brush member from coming off when the brush member is attached to the main body and is used, and which can be easily attached and detached.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve all of the above-mentioned first objects, the present invention provides a brush member in which the entire inner wall of the brush member is formed into a U-shape, and the outer periphery of the base is surrounded while maintaining a gap with the base for single-layer use. The plan member is detachably attached to the main body depending on the time and when it is not used.

In addition, in order to fully achieve the second objective, the fitting portion of the brush member is entirely formed in the main body where the temperature rise is low, and the plan member is slidably attached.

Furthermore, in order to achieve the third object, the present invention provides a gap between the main body and the base, and a brush member is slidably fitted into this gap so that the gap between the brush member and the base can be maintained. A biasing device for biasing the brush member from the base side to the main body side is provided and is detachably attached.

Next, in order to achieve the fourth objective, a protrusion is provided at a position where the direction in which the brush member is attached to the entire main body and the direction of the biasing force toward the main body side that the brush member receives when the brush member is pressed during use almost intersect. In addition, the mating member has all the protrusions or recesses that engage with the protrusion.

Function: With the above structure, the steam ejector of the present invention can be detachably attached to the main body depending on whether the brush member is fully used or not. Furthermore, by maintaining a gap between the brush member and the base, the rise in temperature of the brush member can be kept low, and the brush member can be safely attached and detached even in the energized state. In addition, by using a spring device to bias the ellibrush member toward the main body side, the gap between the base and the flange member can be maintained without requiring a complicated mold to form a groove in the main body, and the gap between the main body and the planar member can be maintained. It increases the engagement force and completely prevents it from coming off during use.

Furthermore, by providing a protrusion that engages at a position where the sliding direction of the brush member attached to the main body and the direction of the biasing force toward the main body that the plan member receives during single use intersect, it is difficult to come off during use. It can be easily attached and detached. Note that if the entire planar member is biased toward the main body side using a spring device, the engagement can be made stronger.

EXAMPLES Below, the present invention will be explained based on the accompanying drawings.

Next, the operation of the configuration of this embodiment will be explained. The brush member 1 attached to the main body 2 surrounds the outer periphery of the base 8 and maintains a gap so as not to come into contact with the base 8, so that even when using the brush member 1, your hand will not come into contact with the base 8. It is very safe. Furthermore, since the temperature rise of the brush member 1 is low, the brush member 1 can be attached and detached depending on whether it is in use or not in use even while electricity is being applied, which is very convenient. Furthermore, brush member 1? When not in use, it can be completely removed from the main body 2, making it easy to use.

In the embodiments shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the main body 2 is provided with a groove 12 in which the brush member 1 is slidably fitted, which serves as a guide when the brush member 1 is attached to the main body 2, and also serves as a guide when the brush member 1 is attached to the main body 2. There are no protrusions such as lips on the outer shape of the brush member, and even when the brush member is not used, there is no chance of catching clothes or the like, making it very easy to use.

In the embodiment shown in Figure 8.9, the base 8f is attached to the main body 2.
, a gap is formed between the main body 2 and the base 8 when installing,
When the brush member 1 is slidably fitted into this gap, the main body 2
Since the brush member 1 and the base 80 are biased toward the main body 2 by the spring device 13 attached to the brush member 1, the gap between the brush member 1 and the base 80 can be maintained. As a result, a gap is formed between the main body 2 and the base 8 due to the configuration of the main body 2 and the base 8, and only by providing the spring device 13, there is no need for a groove or lip for fitting the main body 2, and the mold structure becomes simpler. . Furthermore, if the biasing force of the biasing spring device 13 is increased, the engagement force of the brush member 1 with the main body 2 will be strengthened, and there is also the effect that there is no need for a dislodgeable metal during use.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 10 to 12, when attaching the base 8 to the main body 2, a gap is formed between the main body 2 and the base 8, and when the brush member 1 is completely slidably fitted into this gap,
The brush member 1 is moved by the spring device 13 attached to the main body 2.
is urged toward the main body 2 side to maintain the entire gap between the brush member 1 and the base 8.

Numeral 14 is a protrusion provided on the upper surface of the brush member 1 and protrudes in the direction of the biasing force toward the main body 2 that the brush member 1 receives when the brush member 1 is pressed.

Reference numeral 15 denotes an engagement protrusion provided on the lower surface of the main body 2, and the protrusion 14 is biased by the spring member 13 so as to fit together and engage the brush member 1 with the main body 2. In addition,
When removing the brush member 1 from the main body 2, the attachment can be easily released by urging the brush member 1 in a direction opposite to the direction of the urging force of the spring device 13. With the above, it is possible to completely prevent the brush member 1 from coming off during use, and the ease of attachment and detachment is improved, making it extremely easy to use.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention provides a gap between the brush member and the base and surrounds the outer periphery of the base so that the entire brush member can be attached and detached. The brush can be attached and detached safely without touching high-temperature parts, and when the brush is not needed, it can be completely removed from the main body, making the device easy to handle and convenient to use. Can be done.

Further, since the brush member is attached to the main body side with a gap provided between the brush member and the base portion, the rise in temperature of the brush member itself can be suppressed and overheating can be prevented, so that it can be easily attached and detached during use. Furthermore, by urging the brush member toward the main body side by the urging device, a structure for slidably fitting the brush member can be easily created, making it easier to manufacture the mold and mold the main body. It becomes possible. The brush member is provided with a locking device that surrounds the outer periphery of the base and holds it in the attached state, so even if the brush member is brushed against clothes etc. for shaping, the brush member may not be misaligned or may be removed from the main body. It does not come off and can be used reliably even when the brush member is moved in the removal direction. Therefore, it is possible to provide a steam ejector that is extremely easy to use without paying attention to the direction of brushing.
