Cordless inductive flat iron apparatus

摘要

An apparatus in which a cordless flat iron is energized by a one or more high-frequency oscillators subjacent the normally horizontal work supporting surface of an associated ironing board. The sole plate of the iron consists of a thin layer of conductive material and is electrically and thermally insulated from the handle of the flat iron. The magnetic field of a polarity alternating at high frequency which is generated above the work supporting surface by the oscillator generates eddy currents in the sole plate when the flat iron is placed on the surface or separated from the surface by normally nonconductive textile material to be ironed.
