Electric iron

The invention relates to an electric iron with multi-part plastic handle in which cavities are provided for the electrical connections.

Known hangers of this type still involve a relatively large amount of individual parts necessary. In addition, the plastic parts of known irons in particular are not always simple to manufacture and therefore expensive. Furthermore, the well-known irons are being assembled and disassembled expensive, which makes their manufacture and repair more expensive.

The invention aims to provide an electric iron which is simple and cheap is to be manufactured and assembled. The invention also aims to reduce the number the necessary Xeile.

The object is achieved according to the invention by that with an iron of the type described above, the handle parts can be plugged into one another «

Another feature of the invention is to provide the handle with tabs on the front end the handle root in corresponding recesses one covering the lower opening of the grip root Suspend the plate.

Another feature of the invention is that the handle with only one screw on the aforementioned Plate is attached. According to the invention, this plate is also suitably shaped to accommodate it provided by plug contacts. Further features of the invention can be found in the description and the claims and to be taken from the drawings.

ujer The invention is based on a Embodiment described below and the partially only schematic representations refer to.

The iron according to the invention has purely for example » weiee eiaea open handle on «, The invention is However, by no means limited to this, you can also easily use a closed iron Handle or steam iron.

As can be seen from FIG. 1, this iron consists of the main parts sole 1 and handle and hood 3. The handle in turn consists of several parts, namely the upper or main part 4, the lower handle part 5 and a cover plate 6, which at least partially covers both the rear cavity 7 of the upper part of the handle and the hood 3. On this plate, a button 8 is arranged over a scale plate 9, which the setting of a Serve temperature controller. The cover plate 6 has projections 10, 11 at its rear end provided, which protrude into the cavity 7 of the handle and for receiving plug contacts 12,13 to serve. These plug-in contacts are attached to the electrical supply lines or are used for holding the strain relief 14, which is arranged x inside the stiffening sleeve 15 of the electrical supply cable is. Below the cover plate 6 are the supply lines 12, preferably via springs 16, which on the Hood 3 are attached, with the electric heater in conductive connection. Part 4 of the handle is provided on the handle root at its front end © with lugs 17, which in corresponding ι engage recesses 18 of the cover plate 6 and hook under there (see. Fig. 3 and 5). From the Figure 1 is the rear attachment of the handle part 4 with only one screw 19 on the cover plate evident. This screw 19 is screwed into a corresponding threaded bushing 20, which on rear end of the handle part 4 in the handle root is arranged in a small, externally accessible recess 21. The cover plate 6 is with several, preferably three screws directly

attached to the sole. The hood 3 is only loosely inserted. The cover plate 6 has at its rear end on a Ra sterling 22, which the Gives the iron a secure hold when it is placed on this surface during breaks.

Such as _(seen from Figure 2, the cap 3 is inserted on the iron plate 1 in a circumferential groove 23. From Bigur 2 is further seen 25 of the electric heaters 24 · and the temperature controller. Both may be of any desired and known in the art. Preferably, a heating element pressed into the thin aluminum sole. When using a steel sole, a soldered tubular heating element can of course also be used FIG. 2 also clearly shows the design of the plug contacts in such a way that they are provided with a punched out upstanding tab 26 which is provided on a corresponding inclined surface 27 on the inside of the cover plate 6 in the recess 10 in the simplest way one secure bracket achieved.

From the figure 2 can also be seen the holder of the plug-in tab 13 in a corresponding to the recess in the recess 11 adapted spring 28, instead of the spring 28 could also be an adhesive connection or the like. Be applied. How the retaining tab 13 carries the strain relief is best seen from the top

View according to Figure 3 can be seen. This figure also clearly shows the arrangement of the further plug contacts in the corresponding formations on the plate 6. This figure also shows the screws 29 (3 pieces) with which the cover plate is attached to the sole. Furthermore, this figure shows the recesses 18 in the cover plate for receiving the hooks 17 on the handle 3 Λ (Figure 5) -

As can be seen from Figure 4, the screws 29 in corresponding formations 30 and 31 are both the Cover plate 6 and the sole 1 are arranged. The projections 30 rest on the hood 3 and this is based on sockets 32, which are in the projections 31 of the sole are embedded. These Sockets 32 are preferably made of a bad one made of thermally conductive material. As can be seen from FIG. 4, the cover plate has no direct contact with the hood 3 ", with the exception of the places on the AusfcriüUugsn 50. Alls disse HaSnshasn disuse a reduction in the heat transfer from the sole to the grip.

FiS, ur 5 shows the plug connection of the handle parts. The upper handle part 4 and the lower handle part 5 are connected to each other by two sockets 33 and 34, cöie are designed to fit into one another. the Sockets of one part have a relatively small wall thickness in order to have sufficient elasticity of the plastic. The lower part 5 has contact surfaces 35 and 36, which these The type of fastening of the lower part of the handle provides the necessary support and sufficient stability * In place of the sockets 33,34, the

are formed in one piece with the handle parts, can also have separate resilient sockets step »In addition, Figure 5 shows the hook connection with the cover plate already described.

From Figure 6 it can be seen that the two handle parts 4 and 5 except for the plug connection to the Bushings 34 and 35 still further overlapping one another Have parts, in particular a circumferential web 37 which is integrally formed on the lower handle part 5 and which is on the inner wall of part 4 is applied. The two halves of the grip form a unit when pushed together A whole, in which only one dividing groove 38 can still be seen from the outside. The figure 6 is Welter see below the arrangement of the temperature regulator 25 on the sole together with the bimetal and the plug connection 40 of the adjusting knob 41 for the temperature controller.

Assembling the iron:

The temperature controller with the corresponding supply lines is on the sole with the embedded heating body provided and this is connected to the hood, which is inserted into the circumferential groove 23 of the sole 1. The screws 29 for fastening the cover plate 6 are then screwed into the sole 1. the The cover plate 6 was previously provided with the plug contacts 12. Then the handle part 4 equipped with the connection cable, i.e. this is

inserted through the recess provided in the handle cavity 7. The connection cable is with the strain relief 14 provided, dio'on-the plug-in

tab 12 is attached. The individual supply lines are screwed onto the plug contacts 12 and then the handle part with the hooks 17 (FIG. 5) is hooked into the recesses 18 of the cover plate 6 (FIG. 3). Then the bushing 20 and the screws 19 are screwed into one another from below at the rear end of the handle. Then the lower handle part 5 is inserted into the upper handle part and the button 8 and the setting scale 9 are attached to the cover plate. The button must of course be attached to the controller axis in such a way that a correct setting is guaranteed.
