Abstract
A clothes iron including some or all of: a soleplate that narrows in a longitudinal direction and an at least partially enclosed aperture that extends in at least a transverse direction, for receiving at least a portion of a hand when in use; an interface configured to be connectable to and disconnectable from a fluid outlet external to the iron and a valve for enabling transfer of fluid from the fluid outlet to the iron via the interface while the interface is connected to the fluid outlet, and for inhibiting loss of fluid from the iron via the interface while the interface is disconnected from the fluid outlet; an aligning portion and an external aligning portion and one or more outlets to which the iron is connectable, wherein at least one of the outlets is configured to transfer fluid or electrical energy to the iron.

A clothes iron comprising:
- a soleplate that narrows in a longitudinal direction;
- wherein the clothes iron defines an at least partially enclosed aperture that extends in at least a transverse direction, to receive at least a portion of a hand when in use;
- and
- wherein the clothes iron comprises a cover portion, wherein the cover portion comprises a rigid material to inhibit flexing of the cover portion.
A clothes iron comprising:
- a soleplate that narrows in a longitudinal direction;
- wherein the clothes iron defines an at least partially enclosed aperture that extends in at least a transverse direction, to receive at least a portion of a hand when in use, and
- wherein a lower surface defining at least the aperture's lower surface is:
- longitudinally curved, longitudinally slanted, or a combination thereof;
- and
- transversely curved.
A clothes iron comprising:
- a soleplate that narrows in a longitudinal direction;
- wherein the clothes iron defines an at least partially enclosed aperture that extends in at least a transverse direction, to receive at least a portion of a hand when in use, and
- wherein the clothes iron further comprises:
- an interface configured to be connectable to and disconnectable from a fluid outlet external to the clothes iron;
- a valve configured to enable transfer of fluid from the fluid outlet to the clothes iron via the interface while the interface is connected to the fluid outlet, and configured to inhibit loss of fluid from the clothes iron via the interface while the interface is disconnected from the fluid outlet;
- and
- a lock configured to engage the interface with the fluid outlet when the interface is connected to the fluid outlet, wherein the lock is push-to-connect and the valve is push-to-open.
A clothes iron comprising:
- a soleplate that narrows in a longitudinal direction,
- wherein the clothes iron defines an at least partially enclosed aperture that extends in at least a transverse direction, to receive at least a portion of a hand when in use, and
- wherein the clothes iron further comprises resiliently deformable material to contact the portion of the hand in the aperture when in use, and wherein the resiliently deformable material comprises memory gel or memory foam.
