POP-UP AUTO-SHUTOFF INDICATOR FOR ELECTRIC PRESSING IRONS

摘要

A pop-up auto-shutoff indicator for a pressing iron includes a signal- activated pop-up switch adapted to provide power to a soleplate heater when the pop-up switch is depressed by the user. An auto-shutoff circuit is adapted to receive an input signal from a motion detector and provide an actuation signal to actuate the pop-up switch upon detecting no motion of the iron for a predetermined period of time and to disconnect power to the soleplate heater.
