Abstract

PURPOSE:To surely couple a nozzle section and sealing member with each other under a sealed condition by providing a tank pushing member on the upper surface of a cover in a projecting state, and setting the tank pushing member so that the member can be pushed backward when a tank is mounted on an iron main body. CONSTITUTION:The entrance of a water path 17 is opened on the upper surface of a cover 14, faced to a nozzle section 19 opened at the bottom section of a removable tank 18, and coupled with the section 19 in a sealed state by means of a sealing member 20 so that the water in the tank 18 can be supplied to an evaporating chamber. The upper end of a pushing member 21 united as one body with the member 20 is protruding upward from the cover 14. When the tank 18 is mounted on an iron main body 23 by means of a tying device, the resiliency of the pushing member 21 pushed backward acts on the tank 18 in the direction in which the tank 18 is pushed forward. Therefore, the nozzle section 19 and sealing member 20 can surely be coupled with each other in a sealed state.

EXAMPLE Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In FIGS. 1 to 4, reference numeral 11 denotes a base in which a heater 12 is embedded, forming a vaporization chamber 13. 14 is a cover installed on the base 11; 15 is a handle attached to the top of the cover 14; and 16 is a locking device attached to the front upper part of the handle 15. 17 is a water passage arranged on the upper surface side of the base 11, and the entrance of this water passage 17 is opened on the upper surface of the cover 14, and faces a nozzle portion 19 opened on the bottom of the removable tongue 18. A sealing connection is made by the member 20 to supply water in the tank 18 to the vaporization chamber. 2
Reference numeral 1 denotes a push-out member integrally formed with the seal member 20, and its upper end projects above the cover 14. 22
is a protrusion provided at the bottom of the tank 18, and the iron body 23
The push-out member 21 is provided at a position that pushes the push-out member 21 from the side to the rear when the tank 18, which is configured to be slidable in the front-rear direction, is mounted. Reference numeral 24 denotes an engaging portion that engages with the locking device 16 when the tank 18 is attached to the iron body 23.

Next, the operation of the configuration of this embodiment will be explained. First, when attaching the tank 18 to the iron main body 23, the locking device 16 provided at the front upper part of the handle 15 and the tank 18 are engaged by sliding backward on the cover 14 from the front of the handle 15. The portion 24 is engaged with the
The tank 18 is attached to the iron body 23. Then, the nozzle part 19 attached to the bottom of the tank 18 presses the /- layer member 20 from above and is fitted and sealed, and the water in the tank 18 passes through the waterway 17 and enters the vaporization chamber 20.
3. Further, a protrusion 22 provided on the bottom surface of the tank 18 is held in a state in which the push-out member 21 is pressed from the side to the rear.

したかって、タンク18を上方へ押し上げる力か働かな

In this embodiment, the extrusion member 21 and the seal member 20 are formed integrally, but they may be provided separately. In short, it is sufficient that the repulsive force of the push-out member acts in a direction that does not impede the sealing performance between the nozzle portion and the knoll member when the tank is attached to the iron body.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention has a tank pushing member protruding from the upper surface of the cover, and is set so as to push the tank pushing member backward when the tank is attached to the iron body. Since the repulsive force of the extruding member acts in a direction that does not interfere with the sealing connection between the nozzle part and the sealing member, the nozzle part and the sealing member can be reliably joined together, and the resin parts such as the handle may become heated due to long-term use. Even if it expands, the tank pushing member does not improve the sealing performance between the nozzle portion and the sealing member.
