Technical Field

[0001] This utility model pertains to clothing ironing appliances, specifically relating to a handheld iron with a care function. Background Technology

[0002] When ironing clothes, using care accessories as needed can achieve better ironing results. Various care accessories offer more care functions. Additionally, when using steam ironing, the steam drifting towards your hands can cause burns and affect the ironing process. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing irons' care accessories, which often fail to balance ease of use and the ability to block drifting steam. It provides a handheld iron with care functions, allowing care accessories to be placed in different positions as needed to achieve different functions and uses.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a handheld iron with a care function, comprising an iron that can be operated by hand, the iron having an ironing surface, characterized in that: the iron is equipped with a plate-shaped care accessory, the care accessory having at least one care surface, the care accessory being rotatable about an axis to switch between an unfolded position and a covered position, when the care accessory is in the unfolded position, one care surface faces the same direction as the ironing surface, and when the care accessory is in the covered position, it covers the ironing surface.

[0005] When ironing, move the care accessory to the unfolded position, ensuring the care side faces the ironing side. While ironing, the care accessory's care side can be used to treat the garment. When storing the iron, move the care accessory to the covered position to cover the ironing surface. This reduces the space occupied by the care accessory, especially after ironing. Because the ironing surface is hot, the care accessory prevents burns from exposure and allows for immediate storage without waiting for it to cool completely, saving time. Therefore, this iron is easy to use and effectively protects against steam, preventing burns.

[0006] Preferably, the care accessories are supported and positioned in the unfolded position. This prevents them from shifting during garment care, ensuring that the care surface always maintains the same orientation and posture as the ironing surface.

[0007] In one embodiment, the care accessory can be flipped about a first axis parallel to the ironing surface to flip and reposition itself between an unfolded position and a covered position.

[0008] In another embodiment, the care accessory can rotate about a second axis perpendicular to the ironing surface to switch positions between an unfolded position and a covered position.

[0009] In a third embodiment, the care accessory has a first care surface and a second care surface facing away from each other. The care accessory can be flipped about a first axis to rotate between an unfolded position and a covered position. The care accessory can also be rotated about a second axis so that, when in the unfolded position, either the first or second care surface can be turned to face the ironing surface. Accordingly, when caring for garments, the care surface can be selected as needed to meet different care requirements. In particular, the first axis is parallel to the ironing surface, and the second axis is perpendicular to the first axis. Therefore, the desired care surface can be placed in the desired position by simple flipping or rotating.

[0010] Preferably, the care accessory is connected to the support via a first shaft. The support is integrally or separately mounted on the iron, and the support has a support portion. When the care accessory is in the unfolded position, it rests against the support portion. The support portion is formed on the support, which simplifies the structure.

[0011] Preferably, when the care accessory is in the unfolded position, a constraint structure holds it in place. This maintains the stability of the care accessory and prevents it from shaking or moving out of position while caring for clothing.

[0012] Preferably, the care accessories are detachably mounted to the iron via a support. This facilitates the removal and storage of the care accessories from the iron. Alternatively, the care accessories can be used alone to care for garments.

[0013] Preferably, the support and the iron are separately provided with raised ribs and slots, with the slots engaging the raised ribs to assemble the support onto the iron. This facilitates assembly and disassembly. Removing the support and care accessories from the iron reduces the product's size and makes it easier to store.

[0014] Preferably, both the raised rib and the slot are elongated, with the slot having an open end and a closed end along its length. The raised rib is inserted into the slot through the open end and is installed in place when it contacts the closed end. Therefore, this serves as an installation reference, facilitating the user to install the care accessory in place, allowing the user to iron clothes with the ironing surface while simultaneously using the care surface of the care accessory to care for the clothes.

[0015] In the fourth embodiment, the care accessory is detachably fitted onto the iron via a ring. The ring and the iron have a large contact area, ensuring reliable assembly.

[0016] Preferably, when the loop is fitted onto the iron, it is positioned on the iron by a positioning structure or tightened on the iron by a tightening structure. This is to increase the stability of the loop.

[0017] Preferably, the care accessories include a frame and care pieces, with the care pieces detachably mounted to the frame. Accordingly, multiple care pieces can be configured for selection as needed.

[0018] Preferably, the iron has a downwardly extending handle, with a care accessory fitted under the ironing surface. When in the extended position, the care accessory is located in front of the handle and spaced apart from it. This space provides room for the hand to grip the handle, and during ironing, especially when ironing flat (ironing surface down), the care accessory prevents steam from drifting toward the hand holding the handle, thus avoiding burns.

[0019] Preferably, the care accessory has an outer contour that matches the ironing surface, facilitating coverage of the ironing surface.

[0020] This invention provides an iron with a plate-shaped care accessory. The care accessory has at least one care surface and can rotate around an axis to switch between an unfolded position and a covered position. When in the unfolded position, one care surface faces the ironing surface; when in the covered position, it covers the ironing surface. During ironing, the care accessory is moved to the unfolded position, with the care surface facing the ironing surface. While ironing clothes, the care surface of the accessory can be used to care for the clothes simultaneously. When storing the iron, the care accessory is moved to the covered position to cover the ironing surface, reducing the space occupied by the accessory. This is especially beneficial immediately after ironing, as the ironing surface is hot; the accessory covering it prevents burns and allows for immediate storage without waiting for the surface to cool completely, saving time. Therefore, this iron is easy to use and also protects against steam, preventing burns. Attached Figure Description

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0042] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0043] Example 1

[0044] like Figure 1-8 The handheld iron shown includes a handheld iron 100, which has a head 110 and a handle 120. The head 110 has an ironing surface 111 with steam holes 112. Steam is released from the steam holes during ironing. This iron can be used for hanging ironing of garments, with the ironing surface vertical and steam sprayed horizontally onto the garment. During hanging ironing, the ironing surface can be either away from or in contact with the garment. This iron can also be used for flat ironing of laid-out garments, with the ironing surface in contact with the garment, applying steam while simultaneously applying greater pressure to the garment to smooth it out.

[0045] In particular: the iron 100 is equipped with a plate-shaped care accessory 200, the care accessory 200 having at least one care surface, and the care accessory 200 being able to rotate around the first axis 301. Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 7-8 The unfolded position shown is the same as Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5-6The care accessory can be flipped between the shown cover positions. When in the unfolded position, one care side faces the ironing surface; when in the cover position, it covers the ironing surface. When ironing, flip the care accessory to the unfolded position, with one care side facing the ironing surface. While ironing, the care side of the accessory can be used to care for the garment. When storing the iron, flip the care accessory to the cover position to cover the ironing surface. This reduces the space occupied by the care accessory, especially when storing the iron immediately after ironing. Because the ironing surface is hot, the care accessory covering it prevents burns and allows for immediate storage without waiting for the ironing surface to cool completely, saving time.

[0046] In the illustrated structure, the care accessory 200 is supported and positioned in the unfolded position. This prevents misalignment during garment care, ensuring that the care surface always maintains the same orientation and posture as the ironing surface. Specifically, the care accessory 200 is connected to the support 400 via the first shaft 301. The support 400 is integrally or separately disposed on the iron 100, and a support portion 401 is provided on the support 400. When the care accessory is in the unfolded position, the care accessory 200 rests against the support portion 401. The support portion is formed on the support, which simplifies the structure.

[0047] In the illustrated structure, the care accessory 200 is detachably mounted to the iron 1000 via the support 400. This facilitates the removal and storage of the care accessory from the iron. The care accessory can also be used alone to care for clothing. Specifically, the support 400 is a continuous solid component. The support 400 and the iron 100 are separately provided with a protruding rib 113 and a slot 402. The slot 402 engages the protruding rib 113 to mount the support to the iron 100, facilitating assembly and disassembly. Removing the support and care accessory from the iron reduces the product's size and makes storage easier. Furthermore, both the protruding rib 113 and the slot 402 are elongated, with an open end and a closed end along the length of the slot. The protruding rib is installed in place when it engages with the slot at the open end and contacts the closed end. Therefore, this serves as an installation reference, allowing the user to install the care accessory while simultaneously using the ironing surface to iron clothing and the care surface of the care accessory to care for the garment.

[0048] In the illustrated structure, the care accessory 200 has a first care surface 201 and a second care surface 202 facing away from each other. The care accessory can rotate around a second axis 302 so that when the care accessory is in the unfolded position, either the first care surface 201 or the second care surface 202 can be rotated to face the ironing surface 111. Accordingly, when caring for clothing, the care surface can be selected as needed to meet different care requirements.

[0049] In the illustrated structure, the first axis 301 is parallel to the ironing surface 111, and the second axis 302 is perpendicular to the first axis 301. Based on this, the desired treatment surface can be positioned as needed by simply flipping or rotating it. Figure 1-3 As shown in Figure 5-8, the second shaft 302 is rotatably inserted into the support 400 from the midpoint of the first shaft 301; Figure 9 The diagram shows the second shaft 302 rotatably inserted into the care accessory 200 from the midpoint of the first shaft 301. To hold the care accessory in the unfolded or covered position, the first and second shafts are damped to maintain the care accessory in the desired position. Specifically, when the care accessory is in the unfolded position, a constraint structure holds it in place, maintaining its stability and preventing it from swaying or moving out of position while caring for clothing. Specifically, in this embodiment, a constraint part 403 is provided on the support, and a constrained part is provided on the care accessory. When the care accessory is in the unfolded position, the constrained part on the care accessory is constrained by the constraint part 403, thus holding the care accessory in the unfolded position. The constraint part is preferably a structure such as Velcro or a snap fastener. When the constraint part is Velcro, the constrained part on the care accessory is also Velcro, meaning the constraint part and the constrained part are both Velcro; in this embodiment, it is Velcro. When the constraint part is a snap fastener, the constrained part on the care accessory is a slot 206, and the snap fastener engages with the slot to achieve constraint; in embodiment 4, it is a snap fastener.

[0050] In the illustrated structure, the handle 120 of the iron extends downward from the head 110, and the care accessory 200 is fitted onto the underside of the ironing surface 111. When the care accessory is in the unfolded position, it is located in front of the handle and maintains a distance of 500 from the handle (see...). Figure 7 The space between the sections provides room for the hand to grip the handle, and during ironing, especially when flat ironing (iron side down), the care accessory prevents steam from escaping towards the hand holding the handle, avoiding burns. In the illustrated structure, the care accessory has an outer contour that matches the ironing surface. This helps to cover the bread being ironed and maintain a compact shape.

[0051] Example 2

[0052] This embodiment is a structural variation of Embodiment 1. In this embodiment, the second axis 302 of Embodiment 1 is discarded, and only the first axis 301 is retained. Therefore, the care accessory 200 can only be flipped around the first axis 301 parallel to the ironing surface to change its position between the unfolded and covered positions. At this time, the care accessory 200 has only one care surface.

[0053] Example 3

[0054] This embodiment is a structural variation of Embodiment 1. In this embodiment, the first axis 301 of Embodiment 1 is discarded, and only the second axis 302 is retained. The care accessory can then rotate about the second axis 302, which is perpendicular to the ironing surface, to change position between the unfolded position and the covered position. At this time, the care accessory 200 has only one care surface.

[0055] Example 4

[0056] like Figure 10-12 As shown, this embodiment is a structural variation of Embodiment 1. In this embodiment, the second axis 302 of Embodiment 1 is discarded, and only the first axis 301 is retained. Therefore, the care accessory 200 can only be flipped around the first axis 301 parallel to the ironing surface to flip and change position between the unfolded position and the covered position. At this time, the care accessory 200 has only one care surface.

[0057] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the support 400 in Embodiment 1 is replaced with a ring-shaped support that is detachably fitted onto the head 110 of the iron 100. The ring-shaped support has a larger contact area with the iron, ensuring reliable assembly between the ring and the iron. When the ring is fitted onto the iron, it is positioned on the iron by a positioning structure to increase its stability. The positioning structure may include a protrusion and a groove on the ring and the head, with the protrusion located in the groove for positioning. When the ring is fitted onto the iron, it can also be tightened onto the iron by a tightening structure to increase its stability. The tightening structure may include a tight fit between the ring and the iron or an operable clamp that tightens the ring to secure it to the head. To prevent the ring from interfering with ironing, the ironing surface protrudes beyond the ring. The nursing accessory includes a frame and nursing components, which are detachably mounted on the frame. This allows for the configuration of multiple nursing components for selection as needed. Even if the nursing accessory 200 has only one nursing surface, the nursing surface can be changed by selecting nursing components as needed.
