Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an iron storage case for storing and storing an iron.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in an iron storage case of this type, a lock device provided on both sides of a case cover is provided with a lock device provided on both sides of the case cover by placing an iron body on a stand and covering the case cover from the upper surface side of the iron body. It is designed to engage with the stop.

However, in such a structure, when the iron body is taken out, the lock device is provided on both sides of the case cover in order to prevent the lock device provided on the case cover from being unlocked accidentally. Since it is provided, the case cover has to be lifted until it goes over the top of the iron body with both hands after unlocking with both hands, which is a problem in terms of usability.

As means for solving such a problem, an operation button and a pair of lock fittings interlocked with the operation button are provided on the stand side, and a locking portion is provided on the case cover side, so that the operation button can be operated with one hand. Is pressed to release the lock, and the handle provided on the upper surface of the case cover is lifted with the other hand, thereby improving usability.

However, in such a structure, since the pair of locking metal fittings forming the locking device are located on the peripheral side of the stand and project to the upper surface side, it is easy to touch and dangerous, and the appearance is unsightly. there were.

Therefore, it is a first object of the present invention to improve usability and to obtain a safe iron storage case in which the lock fitting is hard to touch. The second purpose is to prevent the case cover that covers the upper surface side of the stand from being inserted back into the stand.

Means for Solving the Problems And, in order to achieve the first object, the present invention is
A stand for placing the iron, a case cover for covering the upper side of the stand, and a lock device for detachably connecting the case cover and the stand are provided, and the lock devices are arranged on both sides of the stand, respectively. , A pair of lock fittings that rotate integrally, a lock pin that is provided on the case cover side corresponding to these lock fittings, and that the lock fittings are detachably engaged, and a pair of lock fittings for operating the lock fittings. The operation button is provided on either side of the stand so as to be movable up and down, and the restricting member is formed on the side of the stand opposite to the side on which the operation button is installed. In addition to being located immediately before the lock fitting, the heights of the operation button and the regulating member are set higher than those of these lock fittings.

Further, a cutout portion that fits the operation button or the regulation member is formed on one side of the case cover, and the size of the cutout portion is set smaller than that of the non-fitted operation button or the regulation member. .

Operation With the above configuration, when the case cover is removed from the stand, the lock fittings are exposed, but since the tall operating buttons and regulating members are located immediately before that, these operating buttons and regulating members are protected. It functions as a material and makes it harder for your hands to touch the lock fittings.

Further, when viewed from the front, the lock fitting is located so as to be hidden behind the operation button and the regulating member.

Further, even if the case cover is attached to the left and right, the cutout portion will not fit into the operation button or the regulation member.

Embodiment One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In FIGS. 1 to 8, 1 is a stand having a mounting portion 2 on which an iron body is mounted, and 3 is a pair of lock fittings 4 protruding from both sides of the mounting portion 2 at both ends thereof. The support member 5 is sandwiched between the stand 1 and the stand lid 6 by the formed connecting fittings, and is mounted in a reversible manner, and is always biased by the spring 7 in the locking direction. 8
Is an operation button provided near one of the lock fittings 4 and arranged on the front side of the stand 1,
A convex portion that is formed so as to be slidable in the vertical direction with respect to the notch portion 9 and that is opposed to the convex piece 10 provided on the connecting fitting 3.
When the operation button 8 is pressed, the convex portion 11 pushes the convex piece 10 to reverse the connecting metal fitting 3 against the spring 7 and operate the lock metal fitting 4 in the unlocking direction. Reference numeral 12 is a regulating member which is provided in the vicinity of the other lock fitting 4 and which is arranged on the front side of the stand 1 and is provided integrally with the stand 1. A case cover 13 covers the upper surface of the stand 1, and a handle 14 is attached to the upper surface. Further, a notch 15 is provided near the lower end opening so as to face the operation button 8, and a recess 16 faces the regulating member 12 and covers the notch 15.
Is formed. Reference numeral 17 denotes a lock pin which is provided on the case cover 13 so as to face the lock fitting 4 and which engages with a locking portion 4a of the lock fitting 4.
The lock device 18 is constituted by 17.

Next, the operation of the configuration of this embodiment will be described.
First, when the case cover 18 is removed, when the operation button 8 is pressed in the arrow A direction in FIG. 6, the connecting metal fitting 3 and the lock metal fitting 4 rotate in the arrow B direction via the protruding piece 10, and the lock metal fitting 4 The locking portion 4a is disengaged from the lock pin 17. Therefore, the case cover 18 can be removed above the stand 1.

In this state, the lock fitting 4 is exposed, but since the high-height operation button 8 and the restriction member 12 are located immediately before that, the operation button 8 and the restriction member 12 serve as a protective material, and the lock member 4 is locked. Prevents hands from touching the metal fitting 4.

In addition, the lock fitting 4 is located so as to be hidden behind the operation button 8 and the regulating member 12 when viewed from the front.

When the case cover 13 is attached to the stand 1, the operation button 8 provided on the stand 1 is fitted into the notch 15 of the case cover 13, and the recess 16 of the case cover 13 is fitted into the regulating member 12. After that, when the case cover 13 is pushed down, the locking portion 4a of the lock fitting 4 engages with the lock pin 17 and is fixedly connected. However, the recess 16 of the case cover 13
If the positions of the notch 15 are opposite, the case cover 13 cannot be attached to the stand 13. That is, the cutout portion 15 of the case cover 13 is located on the regulating member 12 side, but since the regulating member 12 is larger than the cutout portion 15, the case cover 13 cannot be fitted to the stand 1. by.

In this way, by preventing the case cover 13 from being reversely attached to the stand 1, the heat shield plate attached to the inside of the case cover 13 can be miniaturized, and can be made lightweight and inexpensive.

In order to prevent such reverse mounting, the same effect can be obtained by making the operation button 8 larger than the recess 16.

As described above, according to the present invention, the operation button and the restricting member are arranged in front of the lock fitting provided on the stand, and the lock fitting is provided lower than the operation button and the restricting member. Even if your hand is placed on or the stand is held, it is safe because your hand does not touch the lock fittings and is normally handled with the front side facing you, so it is hidden behind the operation buttons and is visible. The unsightly feeling of is solved.

Further, since the notch provided on the case cover facing the operation button does not fit with the regulation member provided on the opposite side, the user can easily notice that the case cover is installed in the opposite direction. The case cover can be prevented from being reversed. Therefore, the heat shield attached to the inside of the case cover 13 can be miniaturized to be lightweight and inexpensive.
