Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (a) Industrial Application Field This invention relates to an improvement to an electric iron equipped with a cord reel case.

(b) Prior art In a conventional electric iron with a cord reel case, inside the cord reel case there is an elastic contact spring that is electrically connected to a heater provided in the electric iron main body, and an elastic contact spring that is also electrically connected to a wound cord. Although the annular current collector plate is provided so as to be slidable in pressure contact, the cord reel case body is enlarged to accommodate the storage space for this elastic contact spring.
When this enlarged cord reel case was attached to the back of the electric iron, the rear part of the electric iron became unstable, and the electric iron as a whole became larger, resulting in an unsightly appearance.

(c) Purpose of the invention Therefore, the present invention reduces the protrusion of the cord reel case from the electric iron when the cord reel case is attached to the electric iron body, thereby downsizing the electric iron as a whole and making it possible to attach it stably. The purpose is to make you feel like you.

(d) Structure of the invention The structure of the invention is that a hollow handle body having a grip is provided on a heater base in which a heater is installed, and a rotary reel in which a cord is wound around the back of the handle body; In a cord reel case equipped with a winding spring or the like for rotating a rotating reel, a protruding storage portion that protrudes outward so as to face the inside of the handle body is integrally formed on the back wall of the cord reel case. An annular current collector plate is provided on the surface of the rotating reel and is electrically connected to the cord, and is electrically connected to the heater and rotated in pressure contact on the current collector plate in the protruding storage portion. It is equipped with an elastic contact spring.

(e) Embodiment 1 is an electric iron main body, which includes a heater base 2 in which a heater is installed, a cover 3, a frame-shaped hollow handle body 4 provided on the top surface of the cover 3, and the handle body 4.
Cord reel case 5 that can be attached to the back of
It has A grip portion 6 is formed in the handle body 4, and a space portion A is formed in the back surface portion. A winding operation lever 7 for controlling the operation of a winding spring, which will be described later, and fixed pieces 8, 8 formed to face each other are disposed in the space A.

The cord reel case 5 has a disk shape as a whole and is hollow inside, and has a cord outlet 1 on the top surface.
0, and a protruding storage portion 11 that is engaged with the fixing pieces 8, 8 is formed on the back wall in a bulging manner.
The cord reel case 5 is composed of a back plate 12 in which the protruding storage portion 11 is formed, a ring-shaped transparent side plate 13, and a front plate 14. The inner surface of the back plate 12 has an engaging groove. 15, the transparent side plate 13 has its entire main body bent into a substantially L-shape, and an engagement piece 16 that engages with the engagement groove 15 is formed at the rear end, and an engagement hole is formed at an appropriate position at the front end. 17 is formed. A rotating shaft 1 is located approximately in the center of the front plate 14.
8 and the engagement hole 17 is formed on the outer periphery.
A pawl 20 is formed which is inserted into and engaged with. Reference numeral 21 denotes a rotating reel, which is rotatably disposed on the rotating shaft 18 and has a cord winding groove 22 formed on its outer peripheral surface. 23 is a winding spring for forcibly rotating the rotating reel 21, and 24 is a cord. An annular current collecting plate 30 having different diameters is disposed on the surface of the rotating reel 21 and is electrically connected to the cord 24 . Elastic contact springs 31 and 31 are riveted to the back plate 12 so as to be located in the protruding storage portion 11, and each spring is attached to the current collector plate 3.
0.0, 30, and is electrically connected to the heater. The cord reel case 21 is fixed to the electric iron main body 1 with a plurality of screws 35, and in the fixed state, the lower end surface of the cord reel case 5 is located above the heater base 1 placed on the floor. I try to do it.

According to this configuration, since the protruding storage portion 11 is stored in the space A of the handle body 4, the portion of the cord reel case 5 that protrudes from the main body 1 is reduced, and the entire main body can be downsized. At the same time, since the protruding storage portion 11 is fixedly held by the fixing pieces 8, 8, the cord reel case 5 can be firmly fixed. Since the side plate 13 has its engagement piece 16 in contact with the engagement groove 15 of the back plate 12 in a substantially vertical direction, even if external pressure is applied to the outer surface of the cord reel case 5, the external pressure is not applied to the back plate 12. This prevents deformation of the cord reel case 5.

(f) Effects of the invention Since the invention is constructed as described above,
The protruding storage part that houses the elastic contact spring is inserted into the handle body, and the protruding part from the main body of the cord reel case is reduced, making it possible to reduce the length of the main body and downsize the entire body. can.
