Abstract
An iron 1 has a ferrous base 2 that triggers an electromagnetic field produced by electromagnetic coils 4. The coils are mounted within an ironing board 3 and current is supplied to them by a mains power supply. The electromagnetic field heats water in the iron to enable the base to become heated for subsequent use in removing creases from clothes. Movement of the iron across the board switches on the coils with only one being used at a time to generate the electromagnetic field. The iron will remain hot during passage between the switching of adjacent coils. Upward movement of the iron from the board breaks contact with the field and heating ceases.
Description
23921 71
Induction Ironing System This invention relates to an induction ironing system.
An ironing system is a well known process of ironing out creases in materials. This system usually comprises of an iron and an ironing board. The ironing board is a stand alone product which does not need a power input. The iron is usually powered by a cord leading directly to mains electricity, although there are cordless irons available.
However, cordless irons are usually bulky and need a large power input to keep them hot enough to on. The irons that have cords can open be restrictive to iron with and are dangerous in terms oftripping over, or if children pull on the cord to the non.
The Induction Ironing System would comprise of a numberofelectromagnetic coils, running down the length ofthe ironing board, powered by a suitable power supply.
The current is passed through only one ofthe electromagnetic coils at a time. This is achieved by the ferrous base of the ironing body 2 passing over the switches 7, which completes the circuit to the electromagnetic coil 4, producing the electromagnetic field.
The electromagnetic coils are encased in a thin non-ferrous outer shell 8, so that Me switches are not affected by the electromagnetic field.
The ironing body will still be hot when the ironing body is in between electromagnetic coils, which means that only one electromagnetic coil needs to produce an electromagnetic field at a time, in order to complete the task of imning.
A specific embodiment ofthe invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawing in which: Figure 1 shows in perspective, an example ofthe positioning ofthe electromagnetic coils on an ironing board 3, 4, 5 with the ironing body 1, 2.
Figure 2 shows a side view ofthe ironmg body 1, 2.
Figure 3 shows a detailed plan view of one ofthe electromagnetic coils, surrounded by a non-ferrous shell and switches.
Figure 4 shows a perspective view of Figure 3.
Refemug to the drawing the ironing board comprises of a ceramic top, a number of non-
ferrous outer casings, a number of electromagnetic coils, and a number magnetic switches. In order to bigger the electromagnetic field (generated by cunent flowing Trough Me
electromagnetic coils), the ferrous base ofthe ironing body 2 needs to come into contact
win the electromagnetic field produced by the electromagnetic coils 4. The clothing to
be ironed would be placed in between Me iron and the ironing board, and the electromagnetic field would heat the water in We main bank ofthe ironing body I which
would heat the base ofthe ironing body 2, which would iron creases out ofthe clothes.
To stop the heating process on the iron, you would either tum the current running through the ironing board off, or lift the ferrous material on Me base ofthe ironing body upwards until it looses contact with the electromagnetic field.

Claims (5)
1. An Induction Ironing System is a means to iron the creases out of clones using an electromagnetic field (overwise known as Lnduction Heating). This happens
when the iron is passed over one of the electromagnetic coils which are generating Me electromagnetic field within He ironing board. The Induction
honing System uses a suitable mains power supply.
2. An Induction boning System uses the heating effect from the electromagnetic field to heat the ironing body, which irons cloves, as claimed in Claim 1.
3. An Induction Ironing System uses a number of electromagnetic coils, as claimed in Clann 1.
4. An Induction [roping System uses a number of switches to make sure Mat only one ofthe electromagnetic coils are on at atone.
5. An Induction lioning System is substantially described herein with reference to Figures 1 - 4 ofthe accompanying drawing.
