Abstract
The present invention relates to a system iron. The system iron according to the present invention includes a body including a steam generator for generating steam; an ironing plate, which is rotatably coupled to an upper portion of the body and which sprays the steam generated by the steam generator to an outside; an angle-limiting member for limiting rotation of the ironing plate; a button unit, which is operated in linkage with the angle-limiting unit so as to release a state in which the rotation of the ironing plate is limited by the angle-limiting unit; and an elastic member for maintaining the state in which the rotation of the ironing plate is limited by the angle-limiting unit.
Claims8
A system iron comprising:
- a body including a steam generator for generating steam;
- an ironing plate, which is rotatably coupled to an upper portion of the body and which sprays the steam generated by the steam generator to an outside;
- an angle-limiting member for limiting rotation of the ironing plate;
- a button unit, which is operated in linkage with the angle-limiting member so as to release a state in which rotation of the ironing plate is limited by the angle-limiting member;
- an elastic member for maintaining the state in which rotation of the ironing plate is limited by the angle-limiting member;
- a hinge shaft connecting the ironing plate to the upper portion of the body in a rotatable manner;
- a connecting bar connecting the hinge shaft to the ironing plate;
- and
- a locking bar, which is disposed on the body so as to support rotation of the hinge shaft and which has formed therein a locking groove into which the angle-limiting member is inserted,
- wherein the angle-limiting member is inserted at one end thereof into the locking groove in the locking bar and is connected at a remaining end thereof to the elastic member.
A system iron comprising:
- a body including a steam generator for generating steam;
- an ironing plate, which is rotatably connected to an upper portion of the body so as to be changed in position depending on whether the system iron is operated in an ironing mode, in which an ironing operation is performed, or in a steam-spraying mode, in which the steam is sprayed to a top;
- an angle-limiting member for maintaining a position of the ironing plate in the ironing mode or in the steam-spraying mode;
- a button unit for allowing the position of the ironing plate in the ironing mode or in the steam-spraying mode to be changed;
- an elastic member, which is connected to the angle-limiting member so as to maintaining the position of the ironing plate in the ironing mode or in the steam-spraying mode;
- a hinge shaft connecting the ironing plate to the upper portion of the body in a rotatable manner;
- a connecting bar connecting the hinge shaft to the ironing plate;
- and
- a locking bar, which is disposed on the body so as to support rotation of the hinge shaft and which has formed therein a locking groove into which the angle-limiting member is inserted,
- wherein the angle-limiting member is inserted at one end thereof into the locking groove in the locking bar and is connected at a remaining end thereof to the elastic member.
