An iron body includes a concave power receiving portion at the rear portion of a grip and power receiving terminals in the power receiving portion. Stand includes seat where iron body is placed with the front inclined upward, convex power supply portion at the rear portion of seat, and electrodes in power supply portion. A support portion protruding vertically rearward is formed in the power receiving portion, slit where the support portion is fitted is formed on the top of power supply portion, guide portion inclining toward slit and guiding the support portion is formed at the front of power supply portion, and bulged portion protruding in an arc shape toward power receiving portion and guiding the power receiving portion is formed at the lower portion of the front of power supply portion. When iron body is placed on stand, the power receiving portion is guided to a correct position of power supply portion by guide portion and bulged portion, such that the power receiving terminals and the electrodes are reliably electrically connected.

1. A cordless iron comprising: (I) an iron body having a pressing surface extensive in a longitudinal direction and having a front end portion and a rear end portion arranged along the longitudinal direction, the iron body comprising:(I-i) a base having a bottom surface on which the pressing surface is disposed, the pressing surface having front and rear pointing edges, respectively, at longitudinal ends thereof;(I-ii) a concave power receiving portion located above the base in the rear end portion of the iron body, the concave power receiving portion comprising power receiving terminals;(I-iii) a positioning plate being extensive vertically and in the longitudinal direction in the concave power receiving portion;(I-iv) a cover having a sloped surface above the base, the sloped surface being extensive in the longitudinal direction continuously from the concave power receiving portion and sloped downwardly, while getting narrower in a lateral direction, towards the rear pointing edge of the pressing surface; and(I-v) a rib extensive on the sloped surface of the cover vertically and in the longitudinal direction and having a curved edge; and(II) a stand having a bottom surface and first and second ends along a reference direction angled from the bottom surface, the stand further comprising:(II-i) a seat formed in the stand in the reference direction to receive the iron body therein in such a manner that the longitudinal direction of the iron body is in agreement with the reference direction of the stand, and the front pointing edge of the pressing surface of the iron body is situated on a side of the first end of the stand, while the rear pointing edge of the pressing surface of the iron body is situated on a side of the second end of the stand, wherein the seat is configured to receive the iron body in a position inclined along the reference direction such that the front end portion of the iron body is situated vertically higher than the rear end portion thereof;(II-ii) a receiving portion having an upper wall disposed over the seat on the side of the second end of the stand and sloped downwardly towards the second end of the stand to form a receiving space over the seat on the side of the second end of the stand, the receiving space being configured to receive the rear end portion of the iron body when the iron body is positioned in the seat, wherein when the iron body is being positioned in the seat, the curved edge of the rib is in contact with the upper wall of the receiving portion to enable smooth movement of the cover inside the receiving space;(II-iii) a convex power supply portion comprising electrodes connectable with the power receiving terminals of the concave power receiving portion, wherein the convex power supply portion is located above the receiving portion on the side of the second end of the stand and configured such that when the iron body is positioned in the seat, the convex power supply portion is partially received in the concave power receiving portion of the iron body, and the electrodes of the convex power supply portion are in electrical contact with the power receiving terminals of the concave power receiving portion, and further wherein the power receiving terminals of the concave power receiving portion and the electrodes of the convex power supply portion are configured such that when the iron body is positioned in the seat, the electrodes of the convex power supply portion are in electrical contact with the power receiving terminals of the concave power receiving portion at locations which are projectable perpendicularly onto the base between the front and rear pointing edges of the pressing surface,(II-iv) a slit formed vertically in an upper portion of the convex power supply portion, wherein the slit is dimensioned and positioned such that when the iron body is positioned in the seat, the positioning plate is received in the slit; and(II-v) a plate guide provided to generally face the first end of the stand and include the slit therein, the plate guide being shaped to converge at the slit, wherein when the iron body is being positioned in the seat, the plate guide slidably guides the petitioning plate towards the slit to position the concave power receiving portion relative to the convex power supply portion in order to establish connection between the electrodes of the convex power supply portion and the power receiving terminals of the concave power receiving portion. 2. The cordless iron of claim 1, wherein the first and second surfaces of the plate guide arranged in a V-shape converging towards the slit. 3. The cordless iron of claim 1, wherein the pressing surface has a contour formed by two arcs connected at the front and rear pointing edges. 4. The cordless iron of claim 1, wherein the seat comprises: a first side extending between the first and second ends of the stand and a second side extending between the first and second ends of the stand with a space defined between the first and second sides; anda guide located on each of the first and second sides of the seat and extending away from the convex power supply portion. 5. The cordless iron of claim 4, wherein the guides run on the first and second sides, respectively, in such a manner that a space between the guides in a direction perpendicular to the reference direction gradually decreases towards the second end of the stand. 6. The cordless iron of claim 1, wherein the rib and the positioning plate are approximately aligned with a center of the concave power receiving portion in the lateral direction.
