[0001]

[Field of Industrial Application] Cleaning methods are roughly classified into a dry cleaning method (dry washing) and a laundry cleaning method (water washing). The present invention is a novel washing method, that is, a wet cleaning method, in which a vacuum treatment is performed while a textile product such as clothes is moistened, and dirt that emerges due to moisture is absorbed. The present invention relates to an iron capable of executing a new washing method, which can be called (wet washing). In other words, the present invention is configured so that the spraying operation and the suction operation can be performed, and thereby, the cleaning action for the textile products such as clothes by the wet cleaning method is exhibited. And although the present invention is mainly used as an iron for business use, it can also be used in general households.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In addition to the function of an ordinary iron, the present invention is constructed so that spraying operation and vacuum operation by hot water or cold water are performed. A good stain removal action based on the wet cleaning method is achieved,
This is to provide a new iron.

[0004]

According to the present invention, a spraying operation of spraying water or hot water and a vacuum operation for sucking the sprayed water or hot water are carried out. The present invention provides a novel iron that has the effect of removing stains based on the wet cleaning method for cloth products and the effect of preventing the shape from being lost.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In the drawings, 1 is an iron body, 2 is an ironing board fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the body 1, and an iron heater 3 housed in the gas is used to maintain a predetermined temperature. It is heated. Reference numeral 4 is a power supply cord. In addition, although the iron plate 2 has a bottom surface form, a normal surface is a flat surface as shown in FIG. 5, but a flat surface as shown in FIG. 6 may be used. .

Reference numeral 5 denotes an operation handle mounted on the upper surface side of the ironing machine body 1 described above, the distal end side of which is provided with a hollow pipe 6 and the proximal end side thereof is provided with a connecting piece 7 respectively. It is fixed to the iron 1 side.

Reference numeral 8 is an air intake slit formed by forming a required number of holes so as to surround a portion of the ironing board 2 near the tip. Reference numeral 9 denotes an intake chamber formed in a portion corresponding to the lower surface of the ironing machine body 1 so as to cover the entire intake slits 8. The intake chamber 9 is provided inside the operation handle 5 near the tip thereof. It is connected to the valve 10 for communication via a conduit 11. Reference numeral 12 denotes a vacuum hose for external connection connected to the intake control valve 10 for appropriately connecting to an intake device. When the present invention is used for home use, it is jointed to the vacuum port of the vacuum cleaner.

Reference numeral 13 is a nozzle hole for ejecting warm water or water in a mist state, and is formed so as to be located at a central portion of the portion surrounded by the above-mentioned intake slit 8.
The nozzle hole 13 is connected to a spray control valve 14 housed inside the operation handle 5 near the tip end thereof via a mist guide pipe 15. Reference numeral 16 is an external connection water guide pipe connected to the spray control valve 14 and is connected to a water supply pump or the like as appropriate. When the present invention is carried out for home use, an appropriate water storage tank is housed in an iron and sprayed by an atomizer.

In the state shown in FIG. 1, the vacuum hose 12 for external connection is conveniently connected to the suction device, and the water pipe 16 for external connection is appropriately connected to a water supply pump or the like.

In this state, by operating the spray control valve 14, hot water or water is ejected in a mist form from the nozzle hole 13. As a result, a desired amount of clothing is sprayed with a proper amount of dampness, so that hemp, cotton, and synthetic fibers are wrinkled. At the same time, the dirt attached to the fibers is raised due to the moisturization.

Next, by operating the intake control valve 10, the connected suction device suction function is appropriately exerted, and the portion near the tip of the ironing board 2 is surrounded via the conduit 11 and the intake chamber 9. The suction slit formed by drilling the required number of holes thus has a suction effect. Therefore, the floating dirt is sucked based on the above-mentioned spray and is discharged to the outside.

The above-mentioned spraying operation is basically stopped at the time of the above-mentioned suction operation, but both may be operated simultaneously.

Of course, the electric heater 3 is energized to be used as a normal iron. Then, in such a usual ironing, the above-mentioned spraying function can be used as a moistening agent for wrinkle straightening.

[0014]

According to the present invention, a required number of intake slits 8 are formed so as to surround a portion of the ironing board 2 near the tip thereof, and a nozzle hole for ejecting hot water or water in a mist form in the central portion thereof. An air intake control valve 10 connected to the air intake slit 8 and a spray control valve 14 connected to the nozzle hole 13 are provided at required positions of the ironing machine body 1, respectively. Together with the intake control valve 10,
An external connection vacuum hose 12 for connecting to an intake device as appropriate, and an atomizing control valve 14 has an external connection water pipe 16 for connecting to a water supply pump or the like,
Since they are connected to each other, it is possible to carry out washing by the wet cleaning method.

That is, for all textile products such as textile clothing, wool and synthetic textile products, car seats and the like, raising treatment by spraying from the nozzle holes 13 and stains caused by the spraying are performed. Based on the protrusion and the suction effect of the air intake slit 8, the washing process for the fiber clothing and the like is performed by the wet cleaning method. Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a new product called an iron having a wet cleaning function.

Further, according to the present invention, as described in claim 2,
In place of the spray control valve 14, an appropriate water storage tank and sprayer are housed in the iron, and when the spray is configured to be sprayed from the nozzle hole 13, the water supply pump need not be used. , The most suitable form for general household use.
