Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION FIELD OF INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION The present invention relates to an iron with a cord reel device that allows the cord to be stored compactly.

Conventional structure and problems It has been well known that a cord reel device is attached to the rear of the iron, but the cord reel device that winds the cord of about 2 meters, which is the length required for ironing, is attached to the iron itself. It was not put into practical use due to reasons such as being considerably larger and less convenient to use. In order to make the cord reel device compact, the shape of the reel case is the same as the rear shape of the iron, and by cutting out the side of the reel case and providing an opening, the cord can be pulled through this opening when winding the cord. It needs to stand out. However, if a part of the cord protrudes from the opening of the reel case, it may get dirty while being stored.
This prevents dust and lint from entering through the openings during ironing and adhering to the contacts of the cord reel device, preventing electrical failures and ensuring smooth rotation of the cord reel. There was a drawback that it was impossible to do so.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION The present invention was made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an iron with a cord reel device that has a simple structure and is highly reliable.

Structure of the Invention In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes a base having a heater, a handle attached to the base, and a cord reel device connected to the heater circuit and attached to the rear of the handle. The cord reel device consists of a rotatable cord reel and a reel case that surrounds the cord reel and has an opening through which the cord can protrude when winding the cord, and the opening of the reel case is covered with a lid. To provide an iron with a cord reel device that is highly reliable and easy to remember.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the figure, 1 is a base with a heater, 2 is a base cover,
3 is a handle. 4 is a rotatable cord reel for winding the cord 5. In order to make the cord reel device as compact as possible, the cord reel 4 is made wide so that the cord 6 can be wound in multiple rows. It is held by the shaft portion 6a. 8 is the other reel case 7
This is a mainspring interposed between the cord reel 4 and the cord reel 4 in the direction in which the cord 6 is automatically wound.
It is intended to encourage 9 is an outlet of the cord 6 formed on the upper part of the reel case 6°7; 10 is a brush body that connects the cord, the cord 5 and the heater built into the base 1; 11 is a handle 3; This is an opening formed by cutting out a part of the reel case 6.7 so that it has almost the same shape as this.The cord 6 protrudes from this opening 11 when winding the cord. Even irons with a large volume, for example those using thick cords or those having long cords, can be wound up without any problem.

12 is a lid that covers the opening 11 of the reel case 6.7, and locking protrusions 12a are formed on the top and bottom of the lid.

By locking the reel 12b to the upper and lower edges of the opening 11, it can be detachably attached to the reel case 7.

In the above configuration, if an iron is not available, wind the cord 6 onto the cord reel 4, and cover the opening 11 of the reel case 6.7 with M12 to prevent dust, lint, etc. from entering the cord reel device. This is done to prevent intrusion and damage and dirt on the cord 5.

Note that even if the cord 6 is twisted around the cord reel 4 during cord reeling and the reeling operation is stopped, if the lid 12 is removable, remove the lid 12 and remove the cord 5. It is also possible to correct the rolled-up state normally and perform the later rolling operation.

Of course, if the lid 12 is transparent or translucent, code 5
The state of entrainment can be confirmed from the outside, and abnormal entrainment can be promptly dealt with.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the iron with the cord reel device of the present invention, since the reel case is provided with an opening through which the cord can protrude, irons with thick or long cords can be stored without any problem. can do. In addition, by covering the opening with a lid, dust and lint are prevented from entering the cord reel device during use and storage. It also prevents damage and stains on the iron, providing excellent effects unique to a miniaturized iron.
