Pressing iron

A pressing iron comprising:

• a soleplate having upwardly and downwardly facing major surfaces opposite to each other;
• a shell including a peripheral wall which extends from said soleplate to define an accommodation chamber therein, and which has a vent port formed therein;
• and
• at least one dissipating fin which is mounted on and extending from said upwardly facing major surface and which is received in said accommodation chamber.

A pressing iron comprising:

• a soleplate which has a periphery surrounding a centerline normal to said soleplate, and upwardly and downwardly facing major surfaces opposite to each other in an upright direction parallel to the centerline;
• a shell including a peripheral wall which extends from said soleplate in the upright direction, which terminates at an upper peripheral edge that surrounds the centerline, and which defines an air passageway, said peripheral wall being formed with an intake port and a vent port disposed upstream and downstream of said air passageway, respectively;
• and
• a ventilation facilitating mechanism disposed downstream of said intake port to increase flow of air from said intake port through said air passageway and out of said vent port so as to accelerate a cooling process of the flowing air that carries residual heat away from said soleplate after said pressing iron is turned off.
