  • Patent number: 6122849
    Abstract: An iron has a first base to be directly heated for increasing an amount of accumulated heat, a second base including a soleplate and a thermal resistance layer disposed between the bases. The thermal resistance layer has a greater heat resistance than the first base so that the first base heated by a heater can maintain a higher temperature than the second base. The iron of the present invention can increase an amount of accumulated heat, thereby extending not only an ironing period but also a period for spraying steam. If a weight of the iron is decreased, the iron still can hold approximately the same accumulated heat as a conventional iron so that a lightweight iron can be provided.
