Problems solved by technology

However, since the surface area of the heal portion of the clothes iron that contacts the ironing board is relatively small and the clothes iron is usually top heavy, there is a significant chance that the clothes iron will be knocked over by a relatively minor bumping of the ironing board.
As a result, the clothes iron, the ironing board cover, and the iron board can be damaged.
Moreover, ironing boards are notoriously unstable, thereby increasing the likelihood that the minor bumping of the ironing board will cause the clothes iron to tip over and possibly fall to the floor.
Here, the clothes iron will undoubtedly become damaged due to the impact with the floor and, if just recently used, the still-hot iron will burn the floor surface and may cause the floor surface to catch fire.
In addition, due to their configuration, a clothes iron is difficult to store with a folder ironing board.
Although there are many different arrangements for individually storing both the clothes iron and the ironing board, there exists no convenient way to simultaneously store the ironing board with the clothes iron attached.

Embodiment Construction

[0017]FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an exemplary system for retaining a clothes iron according to one embodiment. In FIG. 1, the exemplary iron holder system 10 includes a base plate 100, a pair of attachment arms 200, accessory bars and cord wrap 300, holding arms / bars 400, and an attachment strap 500. The base plate 100 may be formed of heat conductive material(s), such as metals, composites, and hybrid combinations thereof, and may have a generally polygonal shape. For example, the base plate 100 may include side portions 110, a rear portion 120, and a front portion 130 surrounding a generally I-shaped open region 140. In addition, the base plate 100 may have a slight concavity inwardly toward the open region 140 such that the rear portion 120 is curved. However, the front portion 130 may have a generally planar surface compared to the rear portion 120. In addition, each of the side portions 110 may have a generally planar surface portion 112a and a slightly angled supporting p...

Abstract

A system for retaining a clothes iron includes a base plate having vertically offset front and rear portions configured to support a nose sole plate portion and a heal portion of the clothes iron, respectively, and lateral side portions configured to support opposing lateral side sole plate portions of the clothes iron, and a pair of holding arms configured to move from a first position below the base plate to a second position above the base plate and to contact side body portions of the clothes iron.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]1. Technical Field[0002]The embodiments described herein relate to a system for retaining and storing a clothes pressing device, and more particularly, to a system for securely and conveniently retaining a clothes iron and a supporting device thereof.[0003]2. Related Art[0004]Conventional clothes irons are designed to have a substantially pointed forward portion and a relatively flat heal portion. During and after pressing of clothing, the hot clothes iron is usually placed on the surface of an ironing board to cool down. In addition, most consumers will typically leave the clothes iron standing on the heal portion in an upright orientation on the ironing board until the next time that clothes are to be ironed. However, since the surface area of the heal portion of the clothes iron that contacts the ironing board is relatively small and the clothes iron is usually top heavy, there is a significant chance that the clothes iron will be knocked over by a relatively mino...
