An electric iron includes a soleplate (54) and an electric heating element connected to the soleplate (54) for providing heat thereto. A skirt (58) is connected to the soleplate (54). A housing (12) is connected to the skirt (58). A cover (56) is connected to a rear end of the housing (12) and includes a heel rest. A foot member (70) is attached to the lower end of the cover and is pivotable within a slot formed in the lower end. The foot member (70) has a first position offset from the axis of the cover (56) and a second position in substantial axial alignment with the cover (56). The foot member (70) is in the second position when the iron is supported on the heel rest. The weight of the iron provides a force to rotate the foot member (70) from the first position to the second position when the iron is placed on the heel rest. <IMAGE> |
