Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an electric heating iron, and particularly to an electric heating iron in which the power cord attachment is improved in structure and operability is improved.

Generally, an electric iron has a part of an electric heater inside, and mainly consists of an iron part with a flat ironing folded surface on the lower surface, and a handle part that allows the iron part to be freely moved over the surface to be ironed. The power cord is fixedly supported by a thermally insulated handle.

In particular, the power cord is directly attached to the right side of the rear side wall that forms the upright part that rises from the iron part of the handle.
Configured for right-handed use.

In this way, since the power cord is fixedly supported by the insulated handle, it gets caught when the iron is rotated over the damaged surface to change its direction, and the handle allows you to change the way you grip your hand. It has the drawback that it is difficult to operate.

Further, when used by a left-handed person, the base of the power cord is placed on the opposite side, making it difficult to operate the ironing iron with the cord wrapped around it.

Therefore, the present invention has been devised to effectively solve the problems with conventional electric heating irons.

The purpose of this invention is to be able to position the mounting support part of the power cord in an electric heating iron in any direction, to prevent the power cord from getting tangled, and to be able to use the iron regardless of the arm. To provide an electric heating type iron that is easy to hang.

Next, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the electric heating iron 1 includes an iron main body 15 having an electric heater part 10 inside and a flat ironing surface part 14 on the lower surface, and an iron main body 15 that extends upward from the rear end of the iron main body 15. It is mainly composed of a handle part 16 that stands upright and extends to the upper side of the iron main body 15.

This handle part 16 is composed of a standing part 3 that is successively tightened upward from the rear end of the iron main body 15 and stands upright, and a handle part 2 that extends from the top of this standing part 3 to the upper side of the iron main body 15. Moreover, it is molded from a heat insulating material.

This upright part 3 has a hollow chamber 1 inside it as shown in FIG.
7 by partition walls 18.

Further, the upright portion 3 is integrally formed with a cover 19 that covers the upper side of the iron main body 15, and the electric heater portion 10
The terminal board 11 is housed therein.

The handle portion 2 is integrally joined to the top of the upright portion 3 and extends in parallel onto the upper side of the iron body 15.

A spherical receiving part 21 that is open outward is formed at a joint 20 between the upright part 3 of the handle part 16 and the handle part 2.

The spherical receiver 21 includes a spherical receiver 22 formed by folding inward the partition 3a that partitions the upright portion 3, and a spherical receiver 23 formed by folding the partition 2a that partitions the handle portion 2 inward.
An opening 24 that is open to the outside and an opening 25 that is open and faces the hollow chamber 17 of the upright portion 3 are formed.

As shown in FIG. 1, the opening 24 opened outward of the handle part 16 has notches 4 and 5 extending on both left and right sides of the handle part 2 in the radial direction, and extends in the vertical direction of the upright part 3. It has an extended notch 7.

A protrusion 6 extending parallel to the rear end of the iron main body 15 is formed at the upper edge of the upright part 3, and the cutout 7 is opened in the center of the protrusion 6 so as to face downward. There is.

Spherical receiver 2 defined by the spherical receiver 22 and 23
A sphere 8 is rotatably fitted in the inside of the joint 1, forming a so-called ball joint.

As shown in FIG. 2, the sphere 8 is a hollow body, and a through hole 26 is formed to connect the upper opening 24 and the lower opening 25.

A power cord 9 is inserted through the through hole 26 from the upper end to the lower end, and the base end of the power cord 9 is electrically connected to the terminal board 11.

The power cord 9 is fitted with a locking ring 12 made of insulating material on the underside of the sphere 8 to prevent the cord from coming off, and has a sufficient length to allow rotation of the sphere 8. be done.

Further, a cord protector 13 is provided above the sphere 8 to cover the power cord 9 and to hold it in the sphere 8.

The operation of the present invention having the above configuration will be described.

During use, when the iron body 15 is moved onto the surface to be ironed by gripping the handle part 2 of the handle part 16, the sphere 8 moves into the receiving part 21 according to the movement of the iron body 15.
It will rotate above.

As the sphere 8 rotates, the direction in which the power cord 9 is pulled out from the iron changes in accordance with the movement of the iron body 15.

Therefore, no matter how the iron main body 15 is moved in different directions on the surface to be ironed, the power cord 9 does not become tangled or become undesirable, and the operability of the iron is improved.

Further, when a right-handed person irons the iron, the power cord 9 may be guided in advance into the notch 5 on the right side toward the tip of the iron and locked therein.

On the other hand, in the case of a left-handed person, it is sufficient to lock the power cord 9 in the notch 4 on the left side.

In addition, when the iron is to be moved in a straight line back and forth, by locking the power cord in the notch 7 at the rear, the power cord 9 will not get caught and work efficiency can be improved.

By the way, the openings 24 and 25 of the spherical receiving part 21 are connected to the spherical body 8.
Since the iron body 15 is always blocked by
Also, dust does not enter into the handle part 16, and the inside of the iron is not visible and the appearance is not damaged.

In summary, the present invention provides the following excellent effects.

(1) The power cord is supported by a sphere that is rotatably fitted in the spherical receiver, so when ironing, the power cord can freely follow the iron, and can be used regardless of the effective arm. In addition, the cord does not become unwieldy, the direction can be changed smoothly, and the operability can be improved.

(2) Since the spherical support member always covers the opening of the receiving portion, it is possible to prevent dust from entering, and since the inside is not visible, the appearance is not damaged.
