STEAM IRON

Japanese Patent JP3255489

B2

PURPOSE: To continuously jet steam without stopping a motor-driven pump even though an iron body is slightly moved back and forth during ironing.
CONSTITUTION: This steam ion comprising a status detecting means adapted to be turned on or off in accordance with a motion of a steam iron body, for detecting the posture of the iron body which is either a horizontal posture or a self-standing posture, pump control means for controlling a motor-driven pump in accordance with a detection signal from the status detecting means. The pump control means stops the motor-driven pump when the status detecting means continuously delivers a turn-off signal, but operated the same when the status detecting means continuously delivers a turn-on signal. The status detecting means is energized when the iron body is moved back and forth in its horizontal posture so as to drive the motor-driven pump if the turn-off time is below a time T1 (0.5sec), but whether the status detecting means delivers a turn-on signal or not during the time from the time T1 to a time T2 is determined if the turn-off time exceeds the time T1. Accordingly, the drive of the motor-driven pump is stopped only when no turn-on signal is delivered.
