SICHERHEITSVORRICHTUNG FUER BUEGELEISEN

摘要

The device comprises a sensor 3 for detecting arrest of the iron, a timing circuit 2 controlled by the sensor and, in turn, controlling a safety switch 15 for enabling or disabling electrical supply to a resistor for heating the iron. The sensor, timer and safety switch are supplied directly with mains voltage, ie no voltage reducing or rectifying elements are interposed between the supply and these components. The motion sensor 3 preferably comprises a housing with a sloping base and containing a mecury bead and three spaced-apart electrodes 6, 7 and 8. <IMAGE>
