Abstract
A steam iron having an electronic module with a reset switch in the upper portions of the iron handle covered by a top cover. The top cover includes a plastic body having a reset plate formed integrally therewith and partly surrounded by an opening in the top cover. A pliant overmold covers a portion of the plastic body and extends through the opening to confine the top and bottom of the reset plate, restricting movements of the plate but permitting limited movements thereof. During manufacture of the steam iron, a boss at the rearward end of the top cover is inserted into a bearing on the handle and spring fingers at the forward end of the handle are pushed downwardly along sloping surfaces of a circular flange on the handle, the spring fingers snapping outwardly when they reach the bottom of the circular flange to secure the top cover to the handle.
