Abstract
An iron according to the present disclosure includes a light emitter that emits light, a base surface that transmits the light, a detector that detects a temperature of the base surface, and a controller that controls an output of the light emitter in accordance with the temperature of the base surface detected by the detector. Variations in the temperature of the base surface are less than a temperature of clothes. According to the iron, since the output of the light emitter can be controlled in accordance with the temperature of the base surface, heat can be suitably transmitted to the clothes.
Claims17
An iron comprising:
- a light emitter that emits light;
- a base surface that transmits the light;
- a detector that detects a temperature of the base surface;
- and
- a controller that controls an output of the light emitter in accordance with the temperature of the base surface detected by the detector;
- and
- a mechanical temperature sensor that shuts off a power supply when the base surface is in an abnormally high temperature state caused by failure or malfunction of the detector or the controller.
