This invention relates to a steam iron, especially to a steam iron with a bailing member of a mechanical pump can be hidden in a shell of a handle.

However, there are still some inconvenience exists in such steam iron 100, for example, the bailing member 132 of the mechanical pump 130 protrudes from the top of the handle 120 a distance, this leads to that user must drive up finger to press the bailing member 132 when user grasps the handle 120 in the ironing process so the actual use is not very smoothly. In addition, the bailing member 132 protruding from the top of the handle 120, this leads to that the steam iron 100 is not streamline, so the existing steam iron 100 does not satisfy the actual needs of current users.
The present invention is to provide a steam iron, which overcomes the problem that it is not smooth to press the bailing member 132 in existing steam iron and satisfies the actual needs of users.
The present invention adopts the following technical solution: a steam iron, at least comprising: a base, a handle and a mechanical pump, in which the base has a steam generator and a water tank. The handle is connected with the base, the handle has a storage space and a shell surrounding the storage space. The mechanical pump is set in the storage space of the handle, the mechanical pump is connected with the steam generator and the water tank, and the bailing member of the mechanical pump is adjacent to the shell of said handle. The present technical solution provides the mechanical pump having the short bailing member and mounted in the handle, because the bailing member of the mechanical pump may be hidden in the handle, user can easily press the bailing member without driving up finger to press the bailing member, thus the problem is solved that common steam iron is discommodiously used
The shell of the handle surrounds the mechanical pump.
The bailing member does not go through the shell of said handle.
The bailing member faces to the shell of the handle.
The handle can be a pliable handle.
The pliable handle is made of synthetic rubber.
A movable shell is provided on the surface of the handle, the movable shell is adjacent to the bailing member of the mechanical pump.
The handle can be a rigid handle.
The length of the mechanical pump is between 10 mm to 15 mm.
The diameter of the mechanical pump is between 20 mm to 35 mm.
The bailing member of the mechanical pump is contacted with the shell of said handle.
The steam iron based on the present invention, provides the mechanical pump having the short bailing member, and the bailing member of the mechanical pump may be hidden in the handle, not only the problem that it is not smooth to press the bailing member 132 in existing steam iron is resolved, but also the appearance of the iron shows a sense of streamline. The steam iron based on the present invention, the advantages: the mechanical pump has the short bailing member, although the operating distance of the bailing member of the mechanical pump is reduced, the bailing capability of the pump is not reduced, the bailing member of the mechanical pump may be hidden in the handle, it satisfies the actual needs of current users
The present invention will be further explained with the drawings and the embodiments.

In this embodiment, The shell 224 of the handle 220 surrounds the mechanical pump 230, the bailing member 232 of the mechanical pump 230 is adjacent to the shell 224 of said handle and does not go through the shell 224 of said handle. Alternatively, the bailing member 232 of the mechanical pump 230 is contacted with the shell 224 of said handle. In the present invention, the outline of the mechanical pump 230 is changed, the length of the mechanical pump 230 is reduced to the length between 10 mm and 15 mm, the diameter of the mechanical pump is enlarged to the length between 20 mm to 35 mm, this does not lead to the bailing capability of the pump is reduced, and the length of the bailing member 232 of the mechanical pump 230 is shortened, so the bailing member 232 of the mechanical pump 230 may be hidden in the handle 220. In this embodiment, the handle 220 can be a pliable handle, the pliable handle is made of synthetic rubber.
In addition, the pliable handle is deformable, when user press the handle 220 positioned above the bailing member 232 of the mechanical pump 230, the handle 220 is deformed, and the bailing member 232 hidden in the handle 220 can be pressed. The bailing member 232 of the mechanical pump 230 can be positioned upwardly as illustration in
Referring to
As mentioned above, the steam iron based on the present invention, the mechanical pump having the short bailing member is provided, and the bailing member of the mechanical pump may be hidden in the handle, since the bailing member of the mechanical pump may be hidden in the handle, this leads to user can easily press the bailing member without driving up finger to press the bailing member, the problem that it is not smooth to press the bailing member in existing steam iron is resolved. Compared with the existing steam iron, in this invention, the bailing member of the mechanical pump may be hidden in the handle, and the problem that it is not smooth to press the bailing member in existing steam iron is resolved, and the appearance of the iron shows a sense of streamline
As known from the preferred embodiments, the steam iron based on the present invention, the advantage is: though the mechanical pump has the short bailing member, the bailing capability of the pump is not reduced, and a bailing member and a mechanical pump can be hidden in the handle of the iron, so the actual needs of current users are satisfied
As mentioned above, the described embodiments are to be considered in all respects only as illustrative and no restrictive. All changes which come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are to be embraced with their scope.
