Description

An electric flatiron with power cord easily winded up and a method for takeup of the power cord Field of the Invention The present invention generally relates to an electric flatiron, in particular, to an electric flatiron with power cord easily winded up and a method for takeup of the power cord.

Background technology Electric flatiron or electric iron is commonly used in people's daily lives, but how to roll back the power cord is a great problem that perplexes people. In order to solve this problem, in prior art, a winding apparatus is disposed at the rear of the electric flatiron. This winding apparatus includes a winding box, the central portion of which is a winding shaft which sleeved with a rotor plate used for winding the power cord.

Wherein, the rotor plate may rotate relatively to the winding shaft. In order to join the electricity, the power cord must be connected to the heating component inside the electric flatiron through the rotor plate and winding shaft, wherein many problems of the electric connection between the components should be considered;
in order to enable the winding shaft to roll back the power cord automatically, a coil spring which could force the rotor plate to rotate along the winding direction of the power cord should be set on the winding shaft, meanwhile a clip which could lock the power cord in pulled-out position should also be set, but these components may easily deteriorate when repeatedly used; when pulling the power cord out from the winding apparatus, there should be enough force to overcome the force of the coil spring, and after being released from locked position, the power cord immediately I

wind back under the force of the coil spring. The process of pulling out and winding back the power cord may easily make related components deteriorate.

Obviously, the existing winding appara.tus of electric flatiron is complex, with high costs, and apt to break down.

In addition, the use of the winding apparatus makes the volume of the electric flatiron bigger. A handle is usually disposed upon the flatiron body, the space between the handle and the flatiron body is undesirably wasted. Therefore, electric flatiron of this kind is unreasonable in space design, which can not utilize space well.
Brief summary of the invention The purpose of the present invention is to create an electric flatiron with power cord easily winded up which correct the unreasonable design of the winding-up apparatus and the handle which make the electric flatiron have a complex structure, high costs, a huge volume and be apt to break down, insufficiently utilize the space between the handle and the main body.

The other purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for takeup of the power cord of electric flatiron.

The solution presented in this invention is: an electric flatiron with power cord easily winded up, which comprise a flatiron body which has a base plate and inside an electric heater which heats the base plate, the electric heater is connected with a power cord which extends out of the body. A hand grip portion is disposed upon the flatiron body, the space between the hand grip portion and the flatiron body could be used for winding up the power cord.

The above mentioned hand grip portion is a disk-like body, which is connected to the flatiron body by a winding post which has a bigger diameter in both ends and a smaller diameter in the middle. The outer surface of the winding post is a slick Z

curved surface. This surface in company with the bottom surface of the hand grip portion and the top surface of the flatiron body define the winding space used for winding up the power cord.

Said winding post positioned in the center of bottom surface of the hand grip portion and the flatiron body are integrated together, this is a preferred structure.

Said winding post which also can be positioned in the front portion of bottom surface of the hand grip portion and the flatiron body are integrated together.

The top of the above mentioned flatiron body subsides slightly, forming a sinking.

The above mentioned hand grip portion is an elliptical disk-like body A temperature controlling knob which controls the temperature of the electric heater of the flatiron body is disposed in said hand grip portion. The temperature controlling knob is embedded into the groove of the top portion of the hand grip portion.

The related power cord extends out from the rear of the flatiron body, a clip used for locking the end of the power cord is set on the top front portion of the flatiron body.

Said power cord extends out from the rear of the flatiron body, a clip used for locking the end of the power cord is set on the lateral portion of the flatiron body.

Said power cord extends out from the rear of the flatiron body, a clip used for locking the end of the power cord is set on the bottom surface of the front portion of the hand grip portion.

The method for takeup of the power cord is : the power cord is winded up within the winding space.

The hand grip portion is disposed upon the flatiron body, the hand grip portion is connected with the flatiron body by the winding post, the power cord is winded around the winding post, the bottom sw-face of the hand grip portion and the upper surface of the flatiron body form the winding baffle-plates.

The present invention breaks through the structural design of traditional electric flatiron and abandons the structure of traditional handle. The present invention create a creative design that provides a winding portion between the handle and the flatiron body, which ingeniously makes the handle and the winding up appara.tus a integral part and fully utilizes the space between the handle and the flatiron body.
Winding apparatus in this design may be easily used and hardly deteriorate. The power cord of the present invention is convenient for winding up , this design is suitable for the electric iron which can be cany outdoors.

Brief description of the drawings The present invention will be described with greater specificity and detail through the use of the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 1 is an exploded view of an electric flatiron with power core easily winded up, illustrating the power cord is not winded up;

Figure 2 is a principal view of an electric flatiron with power core easily winded up, illustrating the power cord is not winded up;

Figure 3 is an exploded view of an electric flatiron with power core easily winded up, illustrating the power cord is winded up.

Detailed description of the preferred embodiments With reference to figure 1, 2 and 3, an electric flatiron with power cord easily winded up includes a flatiron body 1 which has a base plate 6 and inside an electric heater which heats the base plate 6, the electric heater is connected with a power cord t.~

which extends out of the body. The top portion of flatiron body subsides slightly forming a sinking 10.

The hand grip portion 2 is an elliptical disk-like body, a groove 21 is provided in the top of the hand grip portion 2, a temperature controlling knob 7 which controls the temperature of the electric heater of the flatiron body I is positioned in the said groove 21, it is convenient for handhold.

The hand grip portion 2 is connected to the center of the sinking 10 of the flatiron body 1 by a winding post 3 which has a bigger diameter in both ends and a smaller diameter in the middle. The outer surface of the winding post 3 is a slick curved surface. This surface in company with the bottom surface of the hand grip portion 2 and the sinking 10 of the top surface of the flatiron body 1 define the winding space 30 used for winding up the power cord 5.
