Under the additional option of carrying out the invention element gearing is made with the possibility of interaction with the front part of the iron. The front part of the iron usually has pointed configuration. By providing shared with the form of iron constructions element gearing achieved the exact location of the iron to stand.

According to yet another variant of the invention, the elements of engagement operate with the possibility of interaction with the sole iron. Elements of engagement can interact not only with the front part of iron, but also with the front part of the sole. This provides a strong connection between iron and stand, and safe and easy-fixing.

According to yet another additional option of carrying out the invention locking device contains a tool for fixing fixing element engagement in the closed position when interacting with iron. Using the fixing increase safety locking device, since by means of fixing prevent displacements element mesh.

According to other variant of realization of the invention stand contains a steam generator for the generation of steam required for Ironing. Steam generated in the steam generator, send to the iron along the hose. Using steam remove the folds of clothing to be ironed. In comparison with classical iron Ironing system is more severe, since it contains a steam generator. With the help of the above commit to ensure safe handling with Ironing system.

Under an additional variant of the invention, the stand is a portable stand, and by the locking of the device is ensured by the possibility of transporting Ironing system as a single unit. This provides an opportunity for the safe transportation and storage Ironing system after surgery Ironing.
