Disclosed is an iron having a soleplate capable of easily pleating cloth, as well as ironing the cloth. The iron 10 includes a soleplate 13 and a body positioned on the soleplate and having a switch 12 and a handle 11 installed thereon. A connecting plate 14, which is provided with operating spaces 16 formed on front and rear surfaces thereof, is fixed to a bottom of the body. Guides 15 are formed on the front and rear surfaces, opposite to the operating spaces. The soleplate 13 provided with a space 19 corresponding to the guides 15 is assembled to the guides 15 using fastening bolts 20, which is inserted into a spring 21. The heat coils 17 serving as a heat source are built in the connecting plate 14 and the soleplate 13, respectively. The heat coil in the connecting plate 14 is connected to the heat coil in the soleplate 13 by a heat-coil connector 18, so that the cloth is pushed into a pleating part 22 through a mouth 23 provided between the connecting plate 14 and the soleplate 13 to pleat the cloth.

The invention claimed is: 1. An iron including a soleplate (13) and a body positioned on the soleplate and having a switch (12) and a handle (11) installed thereon, the iron comprising: a connecting plate (14) provided with operating spaces (16) formed on front and rear surfaces thereof and fixed to a bottom of the body, the connecting plate having guides (15) formed on the front and rear surfaces thereof, opposite to the operating spaces; wherein the soleplate (13) provided with a space (19) corresponding to the guides (15) is assembled to the guides (15) using fastening bolts (20), each of which is inserted into a spring (21); heat coils (17) serving as a heat source are built in the connecting plate (14) and the soleplate (13), respectively; and the heat coil in the connecting plate (14) is connected to the heat coil in the soleplate (13) by a heat-coil connector (18), so that cloth is pushed into a pleating part (22) through a mouth (23) provided between the connecting plate (14) and the soleplate (13) to pleat the cloth. 2. The iron as claimed in claim 1, wherein the soleplate (13) and the connecting plate (14) are respectively connected to the guide (15) and the space (19), and the soleplate (13) is movably assembled to the space (19) by the fastening bolts (20) which are resiliently urged by the spring (21), so that the soleplate (13) is moved within a predetermined distance from the iron (10), and a moving distance of the soleplate (13) is adjusted according to a thickness of the cloth and a degree of pleat. 3. The iron as claimed in claim 1, wherein a curved surface (24) is additionally formed on an inside of the pleating part (22) of the mouth (23) provided between the soleplate (13) and the connecting plate (14) so as to accurately pleat the cloth and prevent double pleats.
