Clothing iron having a contouring arch gripping member

摘要

A clothing iron configured to operate from a motor vehicle power supply having a port to electrically connect to a removable DC cable with a cigarette lighter plug. The clothing iron has an improved arched hand grip having a primary gripping member with a contouring arch extending from a first end of the primary gripping member to a second end of the primary gripping member, a secondary gripping member with a contouring arch extending from a first end of the secondary gripping member to a second end of the secondary gripping member. The gripping members are pivotally connected to a fulcrum point. A primary housing is connected to an end of the primary gripping member. At least one thermally conductive plate is connected to the primary housing. A secondary housing is connected to an end of the secondary gripping member. A capturing structure is connected to the secondary housing.

主权项

1. A clothing iron configured to operate from a motor vehicle power supply, comprising:
at least one thermally conductive plate having a contact surface configured to contact a first side of a garment, said at least one thermally conductive plate is located opposite a capturing structure, whereby, said capturing structure is configured to contact a second side of said garment; a first gripping member is located opposite a second gripping member, said first gripping member comprising a contouring arch extending from a first end of said first gripping member to a second end of said first gripping member, said contouring arch of said first gripping member having a first gripping surface located opposite a compartment wall surface, said first end of said first gripping member is connected to a first housing, said at least one thermally conductive plate is connected to said first housing, whereby, said first housing borders an outer perimeter of said at least one thermally conductive housing, whereby, said contact surface of said at least one thermally conductive plate protrudes from said first housing; at least one barrier element is connected to an outer perimeter edge of said first housing, said at least one barrier element is located adjacent to a portion of said thermally conductive plate, whereby, said at least one barrier element protrudes from said first housing; said second end of said first gripping member is pivotally connected to a fulcrum point, whereby, said first gripping member is located between said at least one thermally conductive plate and said fulcrum point; said second gripping member comprising a contouring arch extending from a first end of said second gripping member to said second end of said second gripping member, said contouring arch of said second gripping member having a second gripping surface located opposite a compartment wall surface, said first end of said second gripping member is connected to a second housing, said capturing structure is connected to said second housing, whereby, said second housing borders an outer perimeter of said capturing structure, whereby, a portion of said capturing structure protrudes from said second housing; said second end of said second gripping member is pivotally connected to said fulcrum point, whereby, said second gripping member is located between said capturing structure and said fulcrum point; and, said first gripping surface of said first gripping member and said second gripping surface of said second gripping member are configured to contour to the grasp of a user's hand, whereby, said clothing iron is adapted for the force of a user's grasp to orient said first gripping member and said second gripping member from an open orientation to a closed orientation, whereby, a portion of said garment is configured to be captured between said at least one thermally conductive plate and said capturing structure.
