By connecting W2, the tact switch SW2 is provided on the handle 2 of the electric iron 3, and the tact switch SW2 is pressed by the ironing worker during operation by pressing and releasing the grip.
It consists of an electric iron that can be turned on and off.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Application field for work]

 This invention relates to the connection between the sheath heater and the switch built into the electric iron.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 As a conventional technique of this kind, a technique provided in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. 63-103900 is known. In the conventional technique, two built-in heater energizing switches are provided and wiring is provided in parallel with the heater. There is provided an electric iron, one of which is provided on a handle and the other of which is provided on a rear surface to raise an iron so that a switch is pressed to turn it off.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the case of the above-described conventional technique, when the clothes are moved or moved during the ironing work, the operator removes the hand from the iron and keeps the iron upright, so the switch is turned off. When the ironing is continued after a short break because the heat of the heater gradually cools and cools down, it is inconvenient for use such as pressing cannot be performed while the temperature of the heater rises while pressing the handle for a while. Defects such as damage will occur.

In addition, since a commonly used electric iron does not have a tact switch on the handle and the rear surface as described above, it is possible to always maintain a predetermined temperature while the power switch is not turned off. The iron is overheated by leaving the power switch on without leaving it on the ironing board and leaving it on clothing, or by inadvertently interrupting the work by placing it on a tatami mat, a ginger, etc. There was a danger that it could be left behind and cause a fire.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, the present invention provides a power switch for connecting a conventional series of sheathed heaters incorporated in an iron to two independent heaters. Furthermore, another tact switch is directly connected to one of the two sheath heaters.

[0006]

[Action]

 Since the electric iron of this invention is configured as described above, when performing the ironing work, the electric iron 3 is arranged on the iron cradle, the power switch SW1 is closed to the ON state, and only one station is the sheath heater. Hb can be gradually overheated to a certain temperature and the other series of sheath heaters Ha are closed by the operator gripping the handle 2 while the ironing work is being started and the tact switch SW2 is closed. As the sheath heater Ha overheats, the overheat gradually accelerates during ironing work, and work can be performed at a predetermined appropriate temperature during pressing.

[0007] When the worker takes a short break or inadvertently leaves the clothes surface ironing heat, the tactile switch SW2 connected to the sheathed heater Ha is immediately opened by releasing the operator's grip from the handle 2. Until the temperature of the sheathed heater Ha is cooled down and the power switch SW1 is turned off after the body condition is turned off, only the heat generated by the other sheathed heaters Hb is generated and the temperature is lower than the combined temperature of the two sheathed heaters Ha and Hb. The bottom face 1 of the electric iron 3 continues to generate heat. In this way, the iron left unattended continues to have a low temperature on the clothing surface, preventing maximum overheating on the clothing surface.

[0008]

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In FIGS. 1 and 2, a tact switch SW2 is set in a portion of a handle 2 of an electric iron 3 within the range of an operator's grip, and the handle 2 is set. A pressing force is applied by the grip of the operator and the tact switch SW2 operates with the closed body in the ON state. When the grip is released, the tact switch SW2 is turned off and the power is cut off by opening the body.

Further, the tact switch SW2 is a socket for household AC power supply, in which two series of sheathed heaters Ha and Hb heating elements provided inside the electric iron 3 are arranged in parallel, and the power switch SW1 is used. The cord plug of the electric iron is inserted into and the power is turned on.

As described above, the respective sheathed heaters Ha and Hb formed in two lines are simultaneously wired to the power switch SW1, but only the sheathed heater Ha connected to the tact switch SW2 independently generates heat individually. It is configured so that it does not generate heat.

[0011]

[Effect of the invention]

 Since the present invention is constructed and operates as described above, it has the following excellent effects. As described in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the ironing worker releases the iron from the iron in a state where the iron is left on the clothing surface carelessly due to a setup change or a short break while ironing the clothes. As a result, the tact switch provided on the handle of the iron will be cut off and the heat generated by the two sheathed heaters will be generated by only one sheathed heater, and the heat applied to the clothing surface on the bottom of the iron can be reduced. We can provide a good electric iron.

Further, when the ironing operator finishes the pressing work on the clothes and further moves the ironing work on the next clothes, the tactile switch of the handle grasps and the hands are released, so that the switch is turned off and is cooled to a certain temperature. However, it is possible to provide an electric iron that does not rapidly heat clothes by gradually heating from a certain low temperature by grasping the tact switch.

[0013] In addition, when the two sheathed heaters are overheated during ironing, when the irons are placed by a setup change, etc., the overheated one sheathed heater is cut off so that electricity consumption can be saved. An iron can be provided.
