Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a case for housing a corded electrical appliance such as an electric iron or a hair dryer.

[Technical background of the invention]

As a representative example of the conventional iron storage case, the one described in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 55-41115 is known. As shown in Figure 1, this case is a case that only stores the iron.
A case lid c is pivotally attached to one side by a hinge b, and a partition plate d is provided along the vertical direction on the case lid c,
This configuration has a cord storage section e formed on the back side. When storing the iron, first store the iron body in case body a, and
After storing the cord connected to the iron body in the cord storage part e, the case lid c is closed to complete the storage operation.

[Problems with background technology]

Therefore, when closing the case lid c, a part of the cord provided between the iron body and the case lid c becomes slack and moves freely, so that the cord does not fit properly between the case body a and the case lid c. It had the disadvantage that it easily got caught in the surface and was difficult to close. Furthermore, it goes without saying that if the cord is caught between the mating surfaces of the case body a and the case lid c, but even if it is not caught, the cord may be damaged over a long period of time due to contact with the sharp edges of the partition plate d. Something happened. Moreover, since the partition plate d etc. is made of synthetic resin and has a thin plate structure, when the cord is strongly pushed into the cord storage part e or when the cord is pulled strongly to be taken out from the cord storage part,
In some cases, the partition plate d was damaged.

[Purpose of invention]

The present invention has been proposed for the purpose of providing a storage case for corded electrical equipment that can eliminate the various problems of the prior art.

[Summary of the idea]

That is, in the present invention, a cord storage space is formed in a case body for storing a corded electrical device, a cord protection cylinder is stored in this space so that it can be taken out and put in, and the corded electrical device is stored inside the protection cylinder. By storing the code and performing code processing,
This is a storage case for corded electrical equipment, which is characterized by being able to achieve the above object of the invention.

[Example of idea]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a case body made of synthetic resin with an opening on one side, into which a corded electric device, such as a free-standing electric iron A, is housed so that it can be taken in and out through the opening. A cord storage space 2 is defined within the case body 1 by a partition member 3. In addition, in this embodiment, in order to house the electric iron A, a heat shield made of heat-resistant synthetic resin housed in the case body 1 is used as a partition member, and the partition parts 3a, 3b and the case body 1 are connected to each other. A case is shown in which a cord storage space 2 is formed between one upper corner. A cord protection cylinder 4 is housed in the cord storage space 2 through the above-mentioned opening so that it can be taken in and out. The cord protection cylindrical body 4 is molded from synthetic resin, and maintains its cylindrical shape even though it is allowed to undergo some deformation, and in this embodiment, it has a cylindrical shape with a bottom. The cord B of the electric iron A housed in the case body 1 is housed in the cord protection cylinder 4. Further, reference numeral 9 in the figure is a metal iron stand attached to the inner bottom surface of the case body 1 in order to support the electric iron A in an upright position. A case lid 5 made of synthetic resin is pivotally attached to the opening side edge of the case body 1 via hinges 6, 6. Note that 7 is a clamp receiver provided on the case body 1, and 8 is a clamp that is provided on the case lid 5 and is detachable from the clamp receiver 7. By engaging these, the case lid 5 is maintained in a closed state. There is.

In order to store the electric iron A in the iron storage case having the above structure, the cord B of the electric iron A is first placed in the cord protection cylinder 4. Next, after inserting the electric iron A through the opening of the case body 1 and storing it in the case body 1, the cord protection cylinder 4 containing the cord B is stored in the cord storage space 2.
Finally, the case lid 5 is placed on the case body 1 to complete storage of the electric iron A. Then, the stored electric iron A is taken out in the reverse order to the above-mentioned storage case.

Although the above-described embodiment is configured as described above, the cord storage space may be formed at the bottom or side of the case body in the present invention. and,
In the embodiment described above, the cord protection cylinder has a cylindrical shape with a bottom, but the bottom may be omitted and the shape may be substantially the same as the cord storage space. moreover,
The cord protection cylinder may be formed by a water cup for supplying water to the water tank in the electric iron. In this case, the cord protection cylinder and the water cup are used together, so the number of parts of the ironing device can be reduced. can. Furthermore, the present invention can be applied to a horizontal storage case in which an electric iron is stored horizontally. In addition, in the embodiments of the present invention, the specific structure, shape, etc. of the case body, case lid, cord storage space, cord protection cylinder, etc., unless it is contrary to the gist of the invention,
Of course, the position, material, etc. can be configured and implemented in various ways without being restricted to the one embodiment described above.

[Effect of idea]

The gist of the present invention described above is the structure described in the scope of the above-mentioned utility model registration claims.

Therefore, since a cord storage space is provided in the case body and the cord of the corded electric device is stored therein, the cord is not installed between the case body and the case lid. Therefore, the case lid can be closed after easily confirming the storage status of the cord, and the cord does not become loose and get caught between the mating surfaces of the case body and the case lid. This makes it easier to store corded electrical equipment, including closing the lid.

Since the cord is stored in the cord protection cylindrical body in advance and then stored in the cord storage space, the cord can be protected from the edges of the members that partition the cord storage space by the cord protection cylindrical body. Coupled with the fact that it does not get caught between the mating surfaces of the case body and case lid, it is possible to prevent the cord from being damaged over a long period of time. In particular, when the corded electric device is an electric iron, the cord protection cylinder can further reduce the thermal influence of the electric iron on the cord, thereby preventing the cord from deteriorating or burning out.

In addition, the cord storage space is not provided inside the case lid, and the cords are stored in a cord protection cylinder and bundled into a certain shape beforehand, and are inserted into and taken out from the cord storage space. from,
The member that defines the cord storage space when the cord is taken in and out can also be prevented from being subjected to excessive force and causing damage to the member.
