The power supply terminal is housed and fixed in 1e) and is attached to the second contact piece (24). The power supply terminal (23) faces the first contact (22) with a small clearance, and can be contacted and separated. The base feeding terminal (23) is provided on the rotatable opening member (25).
The opening member (25) is normally urged upward by the spring (26) by the operation knob (25a) so that the power supply terminal (23) is provided with a small clearance with the first contact (22) as described above. I have to. The operation knob (25a)
Is exposed to the outside through a long hole (30) formed on the back surface of the control unit (10b). Reference numeral (31) is a micro switch, which is in a state where power can be supplied to the heater (3) when the protruding button (32) is pressed, and cannot be supplied when the pressing button is released.

When the operation knob (25a) is rotated upward by the spring (26), the protrusion button (32) is pressed and the spring (2
When it is pivoted down against 6), the pressing of the protruding button 32 is released, and the power supply to the heater 3 cannot be supplied. Reference numeral (35) is a box-shaped cover having an opening on the lower surface, which has a handle (36) on the upper surface, and projections (38) which engage and disengage with the recessed grooves (10d) formed on both sides of the mounting table (10) at the lower front on both sides. ) Is formed,
It is placed on the upper surface of the placing table (10) so as to cover the iron body (1).

When the cover (35) is placed on the mounting table (10), the cover (35) pivots and lowers the operation knob (25a) downward. Jettys (40) that cover both sides of the mounting surface (11) are formed on both sides of the upper surface of the mounting table (10). According to such a configuration, in a normal use state, they are separated from each other as shown in FIG. By placing the iron body (1) on the placing surface (11),
The rear end of the iron body (1) hits the slanted wall (11b) and becomes stationary, and the power receiving terminal (8) is placed in the first position through the through hole (20).
The contact (22) is pressed to be electrically connected to the power supply terminal (23). That is, the power supply terminal (8) and the power supply terminal (23) are electrically connected.

Since the cover (35) is opened at this time, the opening member (25) is rotated upward by the spring (26), the protrusion button (32) is pressed and the heater (2) can be energized. Has become. Therefore, the heater (2) is a micro switch (31)
