Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The purpose of the present invention is to improve the appearance quality of a cover for an iron or the like.

In general, the cover of an iron not only covers and protects many components installed on the base, but also plays an important role in terms of appearance quality, especially in terms of design.

Therefore, sufficient consideration is given to processing and finishing.

However, since this cover is drawn using a press or the like, there are minute irregularities a on the circumferential surface as shown in Figure 3.
appears in the form of a line, and since this uneven line cannot be removed by polishing or the like, even the mirror-finished cover becomes distorted in this area.

Such a phenomenon occurs when the material is pressed by the die C and bent upward by the edge of the die d that clamps the material, as shown in FIG.

That is, during this narrowing, the material is deformed while the die d and the mold C are not fitted, and the deformed portion does not match the completed cover shape and remains as it is.

This is generally called shock line a.

As a method of reducing the shock line a, it is known to make the edge of the die d a large curved surface, as shown in FIG. 5, for example, to make the deformation of the material gentle.

However, in this case, in the edge cutting performed in the next process after pressing, the curved surface at the lower end is removed, so the larger the edge curved surface of the die d, the deeper the cutting is necessary, which requires a large amount of material, and it is difficult to cut with complicated shapes. There was a drawback that it could not be processed.

The present invention was created in view of the above points, and improves the appearance quality of the cover without employing any special processing method.

One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Reference numeral 1 denotes a base, 2 a bottomed cover installed thereon, and a stepped portion 3 protruding inwardly formed on the upper circumferential side of the cover.

For example, in the case of a boat-shaped drawn product such as a cover for an iron, it is known that a shock line a is generated near the bottom of the cover 2 during processing.

Therefore, by providing the stepped portion 3 near the bottom of the cover 2, the shock line a can be located at the stepped portion 3.

If this stepped portion 3 is provided to about half the depth A of the cover 2, it will become more complete.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a handle that covers the upper part of the cover 2, the lower end of which is located outside the stepped part 3, and covers this with a gap provided between it and the stepped part 3 to allow outside air to circulate. There is.

Therefore, according to this configuration, the shock line a formed on the cover 2 is covered by the handle 4, and only the clean part of the cover 2 without the shock line a is exposed to the outside, and the high-temperature metal part of the cover 2 The exposed portion of the image will also be reduced.

As described above, according to the present invention, the part of the cover where the shock line occurs is stepped inward and this part is covered by the handle, so the appearance quality of the cover is excellent without using any special processing method. It can be made into

This not only substantially reduces the portion of the cover that is exposed to the surface, reducing the risk of burns caused by accidental contact by the operator when using the iron, but also creates a gap in the stepped portion of the cover that allows outside air to circulate. Since it forms a handle, it is advantageous in that it can also prevent the handle portion from overheating, and other accompanying effects can be obtained.
