Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application - The present invention relates to a run-up device for a steam iron in which a steam ink is detachably attached to the iron body.

Conventional technology Conventionally, the lamp device in this kind of steam iron is
For example, as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 55-143197, it was common to provide a handle on the side surface of the handle.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, with this configuration, although the lamp can be seen from the outside regardless of whether the tank is attached or removed, most of the tank is opaque, and when attached to the iron body Since the inside of the tank cannot be illuminated, there was a problem in that it was difficult to check the amount of water in the tank when it was being used as a steam iron.

Means for Solving the Problems And the technical means of the present invention for solving the above problems is to provide a lamp device on the front side of the handle opposite to the back side of the transparent tank and cover it with the tank.

action The effect of this technical means is as follows.

In other words, when the tank is attached to the iron body, the light from the lamp device can be seen from the outside through the transparent tank, so the water level can be confirmed by bending the light at the water surface in the tank and transmitting the light to the water surface. can be easily done. Embodiment Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the accompanying drawings.

In FIGS. 1 to 3, 1 is a base 2 having a heater and a vaporizing chamber (not shown), etc., is a cover attached to the base 1, 3 is a handle attached to the cover 2, and 4 is a handle 3. The lamp attached to the front leg 3' of the tank has the function of displaying power and making it easy to check the water level in the tank. 5 is a lamp cover for protecting the lamp 4 and dispersing light, and a heat insulating plate 6 is installed on the front leg 3' of the handle 3 and the cover 2.
The front leg 3' protrudes from the front leg 3'.

A tank 7 is located opposite the lamp 4 and detachably mounted on the heat insulating plate 6 at the front of the handle 3. The tank 7 is made of a relatively heat-resistant transparent plastic material and is located opposite the lamp 4. There is a recess (Vi)″ into which the handle 3 fits.
It surrounds the lamp 4 and fits into the handle 3. Reference numeral 8 denotes a protrusion formed in the recess 7'' of the tank 7. Two protrusions are installed at a distance smaller than the width of the front leg 3'' of the handle 3, and the left and right movement when the tank 7 is installed is as follows. The shoulder of the front leg 3'' of the handle 3 is regulated by fitting into the recess 7'' of the tank 7, and the vertical movement of the tank 7 is controlled by the protrusion 8 provided inside the recess 7'' of the tank 7. It is regulated by coming into contact with the front leg 3'' of No. 3.

Further, the tank 7 is difficult to come off due to the fit between the recess 7'' and the front leg 3'' and the abutment between the front leg 3'' and the protrusion 8.
Furthermore, the height of the protrusion 8 is set so that a gap is formed between the lamp cover 5 and the tank 7, so that the tank 7 does not exert force on the lamp cover 5 when the tank 7 is attached or removed. Therefore, no matter how the tank is attached or removed, no force will be applied by the tank to the lamp cover 5 that protrudes from the front leg 3'' of the handle 3, and as a result, the lamp cover will not come off or be damaged. etc., and the tank can be held more firmly.

Although the entire tank 7 does not have to be transparent, it is preferable that most of the tank 7 be made transparent, so that the effect of the lamp device will be greater.

Effects of the Invention In the present invention, the lamp device is formed on the front side of the handle facing the back side of the transparent tank and covered with the tank, so the light from the lamp device can be seen through the tank, and the bending effect of the light can be avoided. As light is transmitted to the water surface, the amount of water can be easily checked, and the following effects are achieved.

That is, in the present invention, compared to the case where the lamp is provided on the side of the handle, the lamp can be visually observed from the entire circumferential side of the tank, so the power supply and water level can be checked through the lamp regardless of the operation of the iron. It is also possible.
