Abstract (en)

[origin: GB2472557A] A handle for an iron is positioned on top the casing of an iron. The handle comprises a front connecting section attached to an upper surface of said casing, a rear connecting section attached to a rear end of the upper surface, and a hand-held section connected between the front connecting section and the rear connecting section. A portion of the hand-held section which protrudes from the rear end of the iron casing in its length direction, is longer by one half than the hand-held section, so that the gravity center of the iron moves backwards greatly. During the course of ironing, a user may grasp the hand-held section and swing his hand in a larger range and iron a great deal of cloth without effort. The time and labour for ironing cats be saved. Furthermore, the iron comprising the handle may be used with a base. Because a steam generator is provided in the base, the size and weight of the iron are reduced so that the iron may be used as a hung iron. The double-duty iron is convenient for use and low in cost.
