Definitions

  • This invention relates to a system iron, more in particular to a safe fastening feature of the system iron.
  • a system iron including an iron and a base is carried so that it can be kept in a cabinet or the like until next use.
  • the iron is not fastened to the base properly, there is a possibility of the iron and the base getting apart and falling down. In order to prevent this, it is necessary to make sure of sufficient coupling before transporting the system iron.
  • care must be taken when placing the iron on the base and fastening the iron to the base, as there may be a chance of a user touching the hot iron.
  • WO2006027464 describes an ironing appliance comprising an iron and a portable base provided with a surface for setting down the iron.
  • the iron comprises a soleplate on which a body with an integrated handle is mounted.
  • the invention is characterised in that the base comprises means for immobilising the iron.
  • the means engages with the body of the iron upstream and downstream of the handle in such a way that the entire ironing appliance can be transported with the help of the handle of the iron.
  • This ironing appliance involves moving a rotating restraining means to engage a front portion of the iron. In the process of fastening the iron to the base, the user's hand might be too close to the soleplate and the user might touch the hot soleplate accidentally. It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a system iron that does not have the disadvantages described above, more in particular to provide a safe fastening feature for the system iron.

It can be done remotely by actuating the actuating member, which is away from the soleplate.
  • the actuating member is situated at a distance of at least 15 mm from the soleplate when the soleplate rests on the base for ensuring a safe fastening by the user.
  • the actuating member is situated at a distance in the range of 20 mm - 30 mm from the soleplate when the soleplate rests on the base. This distance ensures that the user's hand is away from the hot soleplate while fastening the iron to the base.
  • the fastening device includes at least one engagement member for engaging front part of the iron and at least one engagement member for engaging rear part of the iron. This engagement not only allows free access to the handle of the iron for the transportation of the system iron but also uses the solidity of the iron with the integrated handle to support the entire weight of the system iron during transport.
  • the fastening device includes at least one engagement member for engaging front part of the soleplate and at least one engagement member for engaging rear part of the soleplate. This engagement firmly grips the iron to the base.
  • the actuating member has a knob, a switch, a push button, a cam and guide system and like for actuating the fastening device.
  • the user to actuate the fastening device can easily operate any such system.
  • the knob can be turned forward or backward to actuate the fastening device.
  • the switch can be switched on or off to actuate the fastening device.
  • the push button can be pushed forward or backward to actuate the fastening device and so on.
  • the engagement member for engaging the front part is a fixed one and the engagement member for engaging the rear part is a movable one.
  • the actuating member actuates the movable rear part.
  • the iron is secured to the base by engaging the front part of the iron and then pushing the rear part of the iron to the base. After the rear part of the iron is rested on the base, the actuating member is triggered to lock the rear part of the iron.
