Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a steam iron in which a water tank is separated from an iron body and the two are connected by a cord.

Conventional Structure and Problems Conventionally, home steam irons have a water tank integrated with the iron body. Therefore, the capacity of the water tank was naturally regulated to a certain level and could not be increased very much. Unfortunately, if you are ironing for a long time, you will need to refill the water tank during the process.
It could not be said that the workability was good.

In order to solve this problem, we separated the iron body and the water tank, connected them with a flexible water supply pipe, and integrated the water supply pipe and the power supply wire that supplies electricity to the iron body. Things are being considered.

In this case, even if the water supply pipe and the power supply wire are integrated, it must be as easy to use as a conventional steam iron, which is connected only by the power supply wire, and the passage of the water supply pipe must be secured for any movement. A stable nuclear team must be provided.

To avoid this, as shown in FIG.
It is unified by applying However, when twisting the power supply wire 2 and the water supply pipe 1, the elongation rates of the two are different, and the water supply pipe 1 becomes flat due to rotational centrifugal force during twisting, and is braided with the jacket 3 as it is. In the cord that has become like this, the water supply pipe 1 itself stretches and reduces its elasticity, which regulates the amount of water supplied from the water tank.
As time goes on, the cross-sectional area loses its elasticity due to the force that presses it, which further impedes water supply and results in a lack of stable steam jetting.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION The present invention improves usability by separating the iron body and water tank, and also eliminates deformation of the water supply pipe to ensure stable water supply.

Structure of the Invention The steam iron of the present invention has a cord that integrates a power supply wire and a water supply pipe, and by twisting the water supply pipe with a vertical line, the elongation of the water supply pipe due to rotational centrifugal force when twisted with the power supply wire is prevented. This prevents the water supply from leaking and reduces the elasticity of the water supply pipe.
The hollow cross section of the water supply pipe is maintained, the water supply capacity of the water supply pipe is maintained sufficiently, and the cord is given appropriate strength.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the figure, 4 is the iron body, 5 is a water tank provided separately from the iron body 4, 6 is a bellows-shaped air tank that supplies water from the water tank 5 to the iron body 4 and is externally operable, and 7 is an air tank. a pressure spring that pressurizes 6;
8 is a water supply pipe made of a flexible material connecting the water tank 5 and the iron main body 4; 9 is a cord that integrates the water supply pipe 8 and a power supply wire to be described later; 10 is a vaporization of the iron main body 4 , chamber 11 is a heater built into the iron main body 40 base 12, and 13 is a water supply pipe 8 connected to the heater 11.
14 is a steam ejection hole for ejecting steam vaporized in the vaporization chamber 10; 15 is an ironing board with a water tank 5 and an air tank 6 arranged side by side at the tip; 1;
6 steam switching cocks, 17 is a button for switching steam, 18 is a connecting pipe connecting the water tank 6 and air tank 6, 19 is an outside air intake port of the air tank 6, and 20 is provided protruding into the water tank 5. The air supply pipe 21 is a water tap.

Reference numeral 22 denotes a vertical line made on the water supply pipe 8 in at least the code 9, which is made of fiber thread, resin thread, flexible metal wire, etc., and is made of fiber thread, resin thread, flexible metal wire, etc., and penetrates into the hollow part of the water supply pipe 8 or extends inside or outside of the water supply pipe 8. Bonded or integrally molded. This water supply pipe 8 is twisted and integrated with the power supply wire 13 to form a cord 9, but a vertical line 22 is previously formed before twisting. 23
is an outer braid applied to the outer side of the strand of the water supply pipe 8 and the power supply wire 13.

In the steam iron of the second structure, the water in the water tank '95 is supplied to the iron body 4 by the air forced from the air tank 6, and the amount of steam is jetted from the steam outlet 14. 4, ironing can be done in the same way as a normal steam iron.

Here, in configuring the cord 9, when the water supply pipe 8 and the power supply wire 13 are twisted together, since the water supply pipe 8 is provided with a vertical line 22, the expansion of the water supply pipe 8 due to rotational centrifugal force is suppressed. The cord 9 can be configured while maintaining the elasticity of the water supply pipe 8. Therefore, ironing such as bending and twisting the cord 9 has resistance against changes over time and can provide a stable amount of water supply.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above embodiments, the steam iron of the present invention consists of a power supply wire and a water supply pipe twisted together to form an integral body, and by providing a vertical line on the water supply pipe, the water supply pipe is A steam iron that has a suitable elasticity, maintains the shape of the water supply pipe, prevents the water supply pipe from flattening, makes the water smooth, and has a separate water tank and iron body. Excerpt 1 (In addition to being a historical document, the movement of the cord is smooth and allows for a stable supply of steam.The structure is simple, with a vertical line on the water supply pipe, and the structure of the cord is It also has the effect of being easy to use.
