Description

DESCRIPTION

iron stand

Object of the invention

The object of the present invention is a support for irons, of the type that makes it possible to eliminate wrinkles in garments and fabrics in general. It is especially advantageous in individual irons, rather than in ironing centers that have their own support, but it is applicable to both types.

Background of the invention

The existence of irons is known in the state of the art to eliminate, by means of heat and humidity, wrinkles from clothing and any other type of fabric. These irons are sometimes attached to water tanks and a whole system to supply them with steam in so-called "ironing centers". The irons have a flat, usually triangular work surface with a series of holes for the passage of steam.

Often these irons are used with ironing boards that make work easier by placing the material to be ironed at a comfortable height, with a padded surface to iron against.

One of the problems that irons have is where to place them, mainly to store them. Sometimes it is desirable to store the iron when it is not yet cool and dry. Therefore, it is desirable to be able to have a support prepared for it. Furthermore, it is ideal to achieve a storage space for the iron that does not limit the space available in the closet, and preferably associated with the ironing board.

The Applicant is not aware of any device similar to the invention.

Description of the invention

The invention is an iron support according to the claims.

The plate support is made up of an isosceles triangular base, normally with convex walls. The triangle thus formed has a projection at its base. The support has two hooks, one on each side of the triangle, removable against the two return springs.

To improve grip, the projection preferably has a protrusion parallel to the base and somewhat distanced from it (for example 0.5-1.5 cm).

In the same way, the hooks can have individual teeth parallel to the base and spaced from it.

To better evacuate any remaining moisture, and facilitate drying of the iron's work surface, it is desirable that the base does not have a flat surface. To do this, you can define bosses or slots on it.

When the sides of the triangle are convex, to improve retention it is convenient that the hooks are arranged further from the projection than the widest part of the base. This ensures that the hooks press the plate against the shoulder.

Other improvements are defined in the remainder of the specification and in the dependent claims.

Brief description of the figures

The memory is completed with a set of figures with which it is possible to illustrate some examples of embodiments of the invention.

Figure 1: Shows a general view of an example of support, with a staff attached.

Description of a preferred embodiment

The figures show a preferred embodiment of the invention object of the present description.

The embodiment shown in the figures is based on a base (1), approximately triangular in shape, with a series of grooves or projections (3) on its surface that ensure that is not flat. The equal sides of the isosceles triangle have some curvature, convex, to resemble the usual shape of plates.

The base of the triangle that forms the base (1) has a projection (4) that allows defining a support area when the support is tilted. This protrusion (4) can have a protuberance (5) that serves to hook into the corresponding area of the plate. The projection (4) has holes for the passage of steam and air, to help dry the iron.

To ensure the retention of the plate, there are two hooks (6), mobile against the two springs (not noticeable). These hooks (6) are on the sides of the base (1), and can be opened to let the plate pass, so that the springs return them to the starting position. The hooks (6) have a tooth (7) that fits into a slot behind the work surface of the iron. This groove is common in commercial plate designs. The hooks (6) are arranged above the widest point of the base (1). These hooks (6) also ensure that the support can be used with different sizes and shapes of plates, as they can be adjusted to different widths.

The base (1) can have screw holes (8) for fixing it to a surface (wall, shelf, ironing board plate...) or to fix a staff (9) that facilitates its hooking on a vertical board (door .).

Claims (6)

Plate support, characterized by the fact that it is made up of a base (1) with an isosceles triangular shape, with a projection (4) at the base of the triangle and two hooks (6) on the sides of the triangle, removable against two separate springs. return. 2. Support for plates, according to claim 1, characterized in that the projection (4) has a protrusion (5) parallel to the base (1) and spaced from it. 3. Support for irons, according to claim 1, characterized in that the hooks (6) have respective teeth (7) parallel to the base (1) and spaced from it. 4. Support for plates, according to claim 1, characterized in that it comprises a series of protrusions (3) or grooves on the surface of the base (1). 5. Support for irons, according to claim 1, characterized in that the sides of the triangle are convex and the hooks (6) are arranged further from the projection (4) than the widest part of the base (1). 6. Support for irons, according to claim 1, characterized in that it comprises a staff (9) at the point of the triangle. 7- Support for plates, according to claim 1, characterized in that the base (1) comprises holes (8) for the passage of screws.
