Description

The present invention relates to an ironing board cover according to the preamble of claim 1.

Such an ironing board cover is from the US 5 497 570 A known. In this reference, a foam layer is placed on a fiber-filled carrier body, on which in turn an upper-side layer is arranged as a cover layer on which the iron slides back and forth during ironing. A similar structure, one from the DE 72 25 715 U1 known ironing on. Both covers have the disadvantage that they are not aligned with steam ironing.

However, ironing board covers for steam ironing tables must meet complex requirements. The ironing on steam ironing tables is carried out in such a way that a steam generator is provided, by means of which steam is produced and then conducted via a line to the iron, so that the steam exits in the region of the underside surface of the iron.

In general, the steam ironing tables have a suction below the ironing surface, for example via a fan, which then sucks the steam exiting from the underside of the ironing surface of the iron through the laundry items to be ironed and the ironing board cover. Therefore, on the one hand, the requirement for the ironing board cover that this has a good vapor and air permeability. On the other hand, however, the water absorption from the steam passing through the ironing board cover may again not be too high, or the moisture absorbed by the ironing board cover should be released again as quickly as possible.

The top-side layer of an ironing board cover is usually made of a textile material. In order to achieve the flexibility of the ironing board cover required for ironing during steam ironing, a foam layer is likewise arranged below the textile material. Although the foams used in this case are generally quite permeable to air, they absorb water from the steam used for ironing. As a result, the ironing board cover soaks up with water, which is undesirable.

Using a layer of felt-like material, one can take advantage of the fact that this felt-like material releases the moisture faster than foam-like materials. A disadvantage, however, is a greater tightness of the felt-like material, whereby the air and vapor permeability of the ironing board cover is reduced.

From the US Pat. No. 3,513,574 is an ironing pad of an automatic Pressbügelsystems known in which a carrier body made of a fiber mixture is used as an elastic press pad. At the top of this fiber mixture is covered with a thin felt layer, this structure is then surrounded by a textile sheath. The disadvantage of this construction, which is not used as a steam iron pad, is that it can not dissipate steam, but also soaks up when a steam ironing system is used.

Based on these considerations, the present invention seeks to provide an ironing board cover of the type mentioned available, on the one hand has a good permeability to air and / or steam, but on the other hand, on the absorbed moisture from the steam in sufficient mass and returns sufficiently quickly.

This object is achieved by an ironing board cover according to claim 1.

According to the invention, at least two further air- and / or vapor-permeable layers are arranged below the upper-side layer of the ironing board cover made of textile material. These two layers can be made of different materials, so that their properties can be combined. Preferably, at least one of these two air and / or vapor-permeable layers is a foam layer. Furthermore, at least one of these air and / or vapor-permeable layers is the felt layer. The combination of a foam layer with a felt layer makes it possible to achieve particularly good properties which make the ironing board cover particularly suitable for ironing with steam. In this case, one can vary the respective material thicknesses of the foam layer on the one hand and the felt layer on the other hand and make it different.

In the context of the invention, the upper-side layer of the textile material is laminated onto the underlying foam layer. Furthermore, under this foam layer, the felt layer is arranged, which in turn is connected to the underside of the foam layer.

According to the invention, the felt layer below the foam layer now has a lower material thickness than the foam layer. The felt layer has a lower air and moisture permeability than the foam layer, so that a thinner felt layer is advantageous in order not to reduce the air or vapor permeability of the ironing board cover altogether too much. In this case, the felt layer has the positive property that the water absorbed by the ironing board cover when sucking in the moist air is released more rapidly. The release of moisture is thus much faster and better than an ironing board cover, which has only a foam layer.

The resilient properties of the foam layer can still be used. Both the foam layer and the felt layer are compressible, so that the ironing board cover has good padding properties and thus allows a good ironing effect.

The at least one upper layer of a textile material is preferably made of a cotton fabric. A preferred development of the present invention provides that one increases the lubricity of this textile layer to improve the ironing process. This can be achieved, for example, by incorporating particles of a material with sliding properties into the upper layer of the textile material. For example, the use of Teflon or similar plastics having comparable properties or other particles known for good lubricity properties can be considered here.

Further advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings. It shows

1 a perspective view of a section of an ironing board cover according to the present invention;

2 an enlarged vertical section through a section of an ironing board cover used in the invention.

First, it will open 1 Referenced. 1 shows a section of an ironing board cover according to the invention, the whole with the reference numeral 9 is designated, in perspective view. The ironing board cover 9 includes a top-side layer 10 from a textile material, for example cotton. Such an ironing board cover 9 is stretched over the ironing surface of an ironing board and has an elastic band at the edge 13 or the like.

The ironing board cover 9 is intended for ironing tables, on which is ironed with steam, wherein the exiting from the ironing surface of the iron steam is generated in an advantageous manner via a steam station to allow a particularly effective ironing. The ironing board cover 9 must be permeable to air and / or vapor and should release the moisture absorbed during steam ironing as quickly as possible.

For this purpose, the ironing board cover according to the invention 9 below the top layer 10 from the textile material, a foam layer 11 , It is a highly air-permeable foam on which the top layer of the textile material 10 is laminated. Below the foam layer 11 is still a felt layer 12 arranged. The foam layer 10 has good air permeability, but absorbs water from the steam used in ironing. This moisture is absorbed by the material under the foam layer 11 arranged felt layer 12 absorbed and returned to the environment faster than using a pure foam layer. Both the foam layer 11 as well as the felt layer 12 are sufficiently compressible, so that the ironing board cover 9 when ironing by the pressure exerted sufficient and gives a good ironing effect.

It has proved to be advantageous according to the invention, the foam layer 11 with the felt layer 12 to connect while choosing a combination in which the foam layer 11 in the material thickness is slightly thicker than the felt layer 12 that lies underneath. This can also be done in the sectional view according to 2 recognize well.
