ABSTRACT:
To accommodate user preferences, an electric pressing iron has a cord guard partly confined within a chamber in the body of the iron that is rotatable into positions in which it extends vertically upwardly, to one side of the iron, or the other side of the iron. Detents formed by confronting surfaces on the iron body frictionally retain the cord guard in the desired position. To enhance the stability of the iron when in an upright orientation, its rear cover has outwardly and rearwardly extending flanges surrounding a recessed center panel. These flanges include side flanges having wavy rearmost edges that further contribute to the stability of the iron.
