Patent ID: 7637041

Claim:
An electric iron, comprising: a housing body; a carrying base mounted on the bottom of the housing body to define a containing space configured for receiving inner elements and a controlling circuit; and a flexible soleplate arranged under the carrying base and transforming an electric energy transmitted from the controlling circuit into a heat energy for generating a high temperature on a surface thereof to perform an ironing function; wherein an internal framework arranged on the carrying base, and an outer side of the internal framework being received on an inner side of the carrying base for clamping the periphery of the flexible soleplate; wherein the flexible soleplate comprises a heating fibre cloth, and the heating fibre cloth comprises a heating fibre for receiving the electric energy transmitted from the controlling circuit, and an abrasion resistant ironing fibre used for covering the heating fibre; wherein the heating fibre is made of stainless steel fibre material; wherein the abrasion resistant ironing fibre is made of an abrasion resistant fibre material to prevent from abrading the ironed clothes; wherein the heating fibre is connected with a direct current (DC) for generating the heat energy; wherein the heating fibre is connected with a battery for generating the heat energy.
