Definitions

• the invention relates to an electric iron with a housing, a liquid container and a soleplate, wherein above the soleplate, a soleplate joint is formed, above which at least sections a heat shield is arranged, which ends below the liquid container in a transition region formed by heat shield and liquid container, and wherein the wall of the liquid container is designed extended in the direction of the soleplate joint.
• Irons are known in the art. In an iron, heat is usually generated by a heating element which is transferred to a soleplate. The interaction of heat, humidity and pressure smoothes a garment to be treated.
• soleplate and heat shield Between soleplate and heat shield is usually provided a narrow soleplate joint, which allows air to pass between the two parts for cooling can, and a part of the heat transfer from the soleplate to the remaining parts of the iron can be prevented.
• a liquid container located on steam irons above the soleplate, a liquid container. Between liquid container and soleplate there is a gap in which technical means such as a thermostat and an electrical fuse are housed.

• the heat shield and the wall of the liquid container in the prior art are made of different materials. Both parts must be made in separate steps and then assembled. The assembly of the different parts of different material then takes place bumper to kick.
• Object of the present invention is therefore to provide an iron available, which can be produced without heat shield joint, meets the aesthetic requirements of the consumer while avoiding the disadvantages mentioned in the prior art.
• This object is achieved by an iron with the features of claim 1.
• Advantageous embodiments and further developments of the invention, which can be used individually or in combination with each other, are the subject of the dependent claims.
• the iron according to the invention builds on the generic electric iron characterized in that the wall of the liquid container overlaps the transition region smoothly.
• This iron according to the invention leads to a significant improvement over the prior art by reducing or reducing the heat shield joint.
• the wall of the liquid container at least partially overlaps the heat shield, so that the iron has no or only a greatly reduced heat shield gap.
• the heat insulation caused by the heat shield by means of which it is prevented that too much thermal energy reaches the surface outside the soleplate of the iron, is further improved by the overlapping wall of the liquid container. This means improved combustion protection with better energy yield.
• the wall of the liquid container can be extended without the risk of damage due to excessive heating down to the soleplate joint, since the wall of the liquid container is protected towards the interior of the device by the heat shield.
• the liquid container extends at least in sections to the soleplate joint.
• the areas extending to the lower edge of the heat shield are flush with the soleplate joint.
• the wall of the liquid container completely overlaps the heat shield.
• a particularly effective heat protection is achieved.
• this embodiment can be made particularly cost, since the heat shield is completely hidden and thus can be produced with cheaper materials. A special surface treatment or surface sealing is not required.

• the use of plastic allows inexpensive mass production and ensures great design freedom.
• the use of plastic allows a large selection of colors.
• the transparent or translucent design of the liquid container has the advantage that the user can check the level of the liquid container at any time by a view from the outside. This avoids that ironing may need to be interrupted because the level is too low.
• the transparent design of the liquid container makes it easy to check whether this emptying has really taken place completely.
• the housing of the iron is made of a non-transparent or non-translucent plastic, preferably of polypropylene, manufactured.
• the liquid container and its walls are made of a transparent and / or translucent plastic. A combination of these two embodiments allows a versatile and varied design.
• the iron has a standing surface
• the wall of the liquid container at least partially extends at least from the overlapped transition region to the standing surface. It is particularly advantageous if, in a particularly preferred embodiment, the wall of the liquid container extends at least in sections from the soleplate joint to the standing surface.
• the footprint of an iron is usually a part of the housing, and thus made of the same material as the housing.
• this gap between the wall of the liquid container and the base surface is partially or completely avoided.
• the iron in a preferred embodiment has means for back filling.
• the iron in the front area can make shallower than a conventional iron, since a device at the top for filling is not required. Because the iron in this embodiment
• Embodiment front is very flat executable, it proves to be particularly advantageous for ironing of pockets or sleeves, as the flat top can be particularly good in pockets or sleeves into it. It is particularly advantageous if the iron has a printing device for closing on the back. This ensures a fast, secure and permanent closure of the means for back filling.
