ABSTRACT:
An electric pressing iron (20) that has a spring-mounted burn guard (30) to prevent persons or things from inadvertently contacting the hot portions of the iron. Openings (31) in the burn guard are shaped to precisely receive raisedlareas (28) protruding from the iron's heated sole plate (27). The raised areas remain recessed in the openings when the iron is not being used. Upon use, support springs (32) compress and the distal ends of the raised areas extend and act in combination with the burn guard to form a flat ironing base. A connecting arm (47) coordinates movement of the burn guard with a mercury switch (39) that, unless the iron is in an upright position, automatically shuts off power to the heating element when downward pressure on the iron is released.
