Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an iron, particularly an iron for business use, to which a balancer device is attached for easy operation.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Since the iron for business use is heavy and used for a long time, it is connected to a balancer via a wire to reduce the weight, thereby reducing the burden on the user. A conventional iron of this type is shown in FIG.

In the figure, A is an iron body, 10 is an L-shaped metal fitting, the lower end of which is fixed to the upper surface of the iron body A, and a hole 11 is formed at the upper end. Reference numeral 12 is a first ring mounted in the hole 11, and 13 is a second ring engaged with the first ring 12. Further, 4 is a balancer having an urging spring, which is connected to the second ring 13 by the wire 4a and normally urges the iron body A upward to facilitate the ironing work. In addition, 4b is a hook provided at the tip of the wire-4a for engaging the second ring 13.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, the above conventional technique has the following disadvantages. That is, as shown by the solid line in FIG. 5, as long as the iron body A is used on the flat surface of the ironing board E, the iron moves smoothly in the horizontal direction by the cooperation of the balancer, and no special operation is required. ..

However, for example, in order to use the iron body A at an arcuately inclined portion at the end of the ironing board, the iron is tilted downward against the biasing spring of the balancer as shown by the chain line in FIG. During the ironing work in such a part, the worker must continue the work while keeping the iron at a predetermined inclination. For this reason, the burden on the worker is increased, and the work efficiency and work quality may be reduced.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 This invention relates to an iron provided with an iron body and a hanging metal fitting for connecting the iron body to a balancer device, and the hanging metal fitting is attached to the upper part of the iron body so as to be rotatable in the left and right end directions of the iron. The hanging tool and a ring that engages with the hanging tool and can freely move on the hanging tool are provided. Further, the hanging tool has its rotation fulcrum set on substantially the center line of the left-right weight of the iron, and The present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems by setting the center of the arc forming the shape of the hanging tool substantially on the center line in the front-back direction of the iron.

[0007]

[Action]

 In this invention, the iron can be freely tilted back and forth, left and right without changing the height of the ring that engages with the balancer device, in other words without resisting the biasing spring of the balancer device. it can.

[0008]

[Example of device]

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 to 4 are views showing an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, A is an iron body, 1 is a mounting plate fixed to the upper surface of the iron body A, B is a metal fitting composed of a ring 2 and an arcuate hanging tool 3, and 4 is a biasing spring. The built-in balancer 4a is a wire having a hook 4b at its tip. As shown in FIG. 2, the mounting plate 1 has holes 1a and 1b at the rising portions at both ends of the iron body A in the front-rear direction, and the bent portions at both ends of the hanger 3 are axially supported in these holes. The hanging tool 3 can be rotated in the left and right end directions of the iron body A.

Further, the ring 2 to which the hook 4b is locked engages with the suspending tool 3 at its opening, and can freely move on the suspending tool 3. By the way, although the suspender 3 is formed in an arc shape as described above, the center of the arc is substantially on the center line of the weight of the iron body A in the front-rear direction as shown in FIG. Line). Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the holes 1a and 1b of the mounting plate 1 which serve as the fulcrum of rotation of the hanging tool 3 are located substantially on the center line of the weight of the iron body A in the left-right direction (line C-C in FIG. 4). Is set. In the figure, 5 is an iron handle.

The operation of this embodiment having the above structure will be described with reference to FIGS. 1, 3, and 4. As shown in FIG. 1, the iron is positioned on the top of the hanger 3 while the ring 2 is positioned on the horizontal surface of the ironing board while it is locked by the hook 4b, and the biasing spring pressure of the balancer 4 is set to a predetermined value. When the iron moves in the horizontal plane, the ring 2 is kept at the top of the hanger 3, in other words, the distance from the horizontal plane is kept constant, and the iron applies the biasing force set in the balancer-4. Moves while receiving upwards.

Then, as shown in FIG. 3, when it becomes necessary to tilt the iron in the arcuate end portion of the ironing board E in the front-back direction (longitudinal direction) thereof, the hanger 3 is tilted together with the iron body A. Rotate around the center point of the arc that forms the shape. With the rotation of the hanging device 3, the ring 2 relatively moves on the hanging device 3 and maintains a constant height with the horizontal plane of the ironing board, so that the balancer-4 is urged upward by the iron. The iron can obtain the required inclination without applying any special force against it.

That is, on the left side of FIG. 3, as the front end of the iron main body A is tilted toward the arcuate end of the ironing board E, the suspending tool 3 rotates leftward, but the ring 2 moves above the suspending tool 3. Since the iron moves relatively to the right and maintains its height in the original state, the iron is inclined according to the arc shape of the end portion of the ironing board E without applying a special force to the iron. The right side of FIG. 3 shows the case where the rear part of the iron meets the arcuate end of the ironing board E, but the operation is exactly the same as described above. Since the center of the arc forming the shape of the suspender 3 is set substantially on the center line of the weight of the iron in the front-rear direction, the iron can be smoothly inclined in a predetermined direction in any of the front-rear directions.

FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram when the iron is tilted in the left-right direction instead of the front-back direction at the arcuate end of the ironing board E. Even if the iron main body A is tilted to the left and right at the end, the suspension 3 relatively rotates around the holes 1a and 1b, which are the fulcrum of rotation, to maintain the original upright state. Height does not change. Therefore, the iron body A can be inclined at a predetermined angle without applying a special force against the urging force of the balancer-4. Since the holes 1a and 1b, which are the fulcrums of the suspenders 3, are set substantially on the center line of the weight of the iron in the left-right direction, the iron can be smoothly tilted in either the left-right direction in a well-balanced manner.

[0014]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, the iron according to the present invention is arranged at the arcuate end of the ironing board, and when the iron is tilted in the front-rear direction, the ring is relatively moved along the sling in correspondence with the iron tilting direction. On the other hand, when the iron is tilted to the left and right while moving, the lifting device rotates relative to the tilt of the iron, so that the iron does not oppose the biasing spring of the balancer when working on the iron end. Can be tilted. Therefore, the burden of ironing is reduced, and work efficiency and work quality are improved.
