Abstract

Il comporte une poignée (1) et un corps (2) contenant de l'eau (4) chauffée par des électrodes (5) reliées au contacteur (7). Lorsque la fiche de courant est logée dans la cavité (8) traversant le trou (22) de l'extrémité (21) de la poignée (1), la dite fiche fixe la dite extrémité (21) de teile maniére que l'on ne puisse pas pivoter la poignée (1) autour de l'extrémité (17). Ce pivotement permettrait de libérer l'ouverture de remplissage (16) en décoinçant le doigt de veroillage (19) de la partie de retenue (18) de l'extrémité (17) bouchant la dite ouverture de remplissage. Ainsi on ne peut remplir le réservoir (3) sans enlever la fiche de courant. Une bille d'obturation (13) logée dans une chambre (24) empêche le remplissage du réservoir (3) à travers les orifices de vapeur (11). La partie du corps (2) située en dessous de la poignée (1) comporte des silettes de refroidissement (25).It comprises a handle (1) and a body (2) containing water (4) heated by electrodes (5) connected to the contactor (7). When the current plug is housed in the cavity (8) passing through the hole (22) of the end (21) of the handle (1), said plug fixes said end (21) in such a way that cannot pivot the handle (1) around the end (17). This pivoting would free the filling opening (16) by removing the locking finger (19) from the retaining part (18) of the end (17) blocking said filling opening. Thus one cannot fill the tank (3) without removing the current plug. A sealing ball (13) housed in a chamber (24) prevents filling of the reservoir (3) through the steam orifices (11). The part of the body (2) located below the handle (1) has cooling fins (25).

Description

La présente ipvention concerne un appareil à défroisser les tissus.The present invention relates to an apparatus for smoothing fabrics.

Un appareil usuel à défroisser les tissus se compose d'un corps et d'une poignée fixée sur ce corps permettant de tenir et de faire passer le dit appareil sur les tissus à défroisser. Le corps forme un réservoir d'eau mise sous tension et chauffée ainsi à l'aide de deux électrodes, la dite eau étant introduite au moyen d'une ouverture pratiquée dans le dit corps. Ce dernier comporte en outre une surface plane, laquelle est munie d'une part d'orifices permettant la diffusion de la valeur de l'eau chauffée et d'autre part d'une brosse transversale. Ainsi, par la conjonction de l'action de la brosse et de la vapeur diffusée, les tissus peuvent être défroissés.A common appliance for smoothing fabrics consists of a body and a handle fixed on this body making it possible to hold and pass the said appliance over the fabrics to be smoothed. The body forms a reservoir of water energized and thus heated using two electrodes, said water being introduced by means of an opening made in said body. The latter further comprises a flat surface, which is provided on the one hand with orifices allowing the diffusion of the value of the heated water and on the other hand with a transverse brush. Thus, by the conjunction of the action of the brush and the diffused steam, the fabrics can be smoothed out.

Ces appareils présentent néanmoins de tels inconvénients qu'ils peuvent devenir dangereux pour l'homme. En effet, l'utilisateur peut sans autre remplir l'appareil d'eau par l'ouverture pratiquée à cet effet alors que l'appareil reste branché sur le réseau. L'eau étant sous tension, l'utilisateur risque l'électrocution au moment du remplissage.These devices nevertheless have such drawbacks that they can become dangerous for humans. Indeed, the user can fill the device with water without further opening through the opening provided for this purpose while the device remains connected to the network. As the water is energized, the user risks electric shock when filling.

L'invention propose par un dispositif de sécurité adéquat de supprimer cet inconvénient en empêchant le remplissage de l'appareil lorsque celui-ci est sous tension et de présenter un appareil à défroisser amélioré par rapport à ceux existants.The invention proposes, by an adequate safety device, to eliminate this drawback by preventing the filling of the appliance when the latter is energized and to present an appliance for smoothing compared to existing ones.

En effet, l'invention a pour objet un appareil à défroisser les tissus, comprenant un corps formant réservoir d'eau et muni d'une poignée et d'une brosse transversale, des moyens de chauffage électrique de l'eau dans ce corps, des orifices pour la sortie de la vapeur ainsi produite et que l'on projette sur le tissu à défroisser. L'appareil est agencé de manière à présenter à l'une de ses extrémités des moyens de fixation de cette poignée sur le corps et des moyens d'obturation de l'ouverture de remplissage du corps et à son autre extrémité, des moyens de fixation au corps de l'appareil et une ouverture d'accès, située en face d'une cavité contenant la prise d'amenée de courant aux moyens de chauffage électrique, pour le passage d'une fiche électrique destinée à coopérer avec la prise, cette fiche empêchant l'enlèvement de la poignée tant qu'elle coopère avec la prise.In fact, the subject of the invention is an apparatus for smoothing fabrics, comprising a body forming a water reservoir and provided with a handle and a transverse brush, means for electrically heating the water in this body, orifices for the outlet of the steam thus produced and which is projected onto the fabric to be smoothed. The apparatus is arranged so as to present at one of its ends means for fixing this handle to the body and means for closing the opening for filling the body and at its other end, means for fixing to the body of the device and an access opening, located opposite a cavity containing the outlet for supplying current to the electrical heating means, for the passage of an electrical plug intended to cooperate with the outlet, this plug preventing removal of the handle as long as it cooperates with the socket.

Les figures suivantes données à titre d'exemples représentent les formes d'exécution de l'appareil suivant l'invention.

  • La fig. 1 représente l'appareil en coupe partielle,
  • la fig. 2 représente une vue de dessus de l'appareil.
The following figures given by way of examples show the embodiments of the apparatus according to the invention.
  • Fig. 1 shows the device in partial section,
  • fig. 2 shows a top view of the device.

Les fig. 1 et 2 illustrent l'appareil à défroisser les tissus selon l'invention. Il se compose d'une poignée 1 et d'un corps 2 formant un réservoir 3 contenant de l'eau 4. L'eau mise sous tension est chauffée à l'aide des électrodes 5 reliées par les fils 6 aux contacteurs'7 logés dans une cavité 8 formant une prise permettant de recevoir la fiche (non représentée sur les fig. 1 et 2) pour brancher l'appareil au réseau.Figs. 1 and 2 illustrate the apparatus for smoothing fabrics according to the invention. It consists of a handle 1 and a body 2 forming a reservoir 3 containing water 4. The energized water is heated using the electrodes 5 connected by the wires 6 to the contactors' 7 housed in a cavity 8 forming a socket for receiving the plug (not shown in fig. 1 and 2) to connect the device to the network.

L'eau 4 dégage de la vapeur et celle-ci est diffusée vers l'extérieur par un conduit 9 au travers d'une plaque 10 munie d'orifices de sortie 11. Le conduit 9 formé de la paroi 12 s'élargit vers la sortie pour recevoir la plaque 10 et forme ainsi une chambre 24 en contact avec le réservoir 3 par le dit conduit 9. Le dit conduit 9 et la dite chambre 24 sont agencés de telle manière que l'eau ne puisse les atteindre lorsque l'appareil à défroisser les tissus se trouve en position de travail comme le montre la fig. 1. Une bille 13 logée dans cette chambre 24 est retenue par la plaque 10 de manière à former une soupape de sécurité comme nous le verrons plus loin. La plaque 10 forme le prolongement de la face 14 du corps 2 de l'appareil. En outre, une brosse transversale 15 émergeante est située sur cette face 14.The water 4 gives off steam and this is diffused towards the outside by a duct 9 through a plate 10 provided with outlet orifices 11. The duct 9 formed from the wall 12 widens towards the outlet to receive the plate 10 and thus forms a chamber 24 in contact with the reservoir 3 by the said conduit 9. The said conduit 9 and the said chamber 24 are arranged in such a way that water cannot reach them when the apparatus to smooth the fabrics is in the working position as shown in fig. 1. A ball 13 housed in this chamber 24 is retained by the plate 10 so as to form a safety valve as we will see later. The plate 10 forms the extension of the face 14 of the body 2 of the device. In addition, an emerging transverse brush 15 is located on this face 14.

Le but de l'invention est d'empêcher de remplir le réservoir 3 pendant que l'appareil est branché. Pour cela on a fait coïncider l'ouverture de remplissage 16 avec l'extrémité 17 de la poignée 1, la dite poignée pouvant pivoter autour de son extrémité 16 comme le montre la fig. 2. Lorsque la poignée se trouve en position fermée comme le montre la fig. 1, la partie 18 de l'ouverture de remplissage 16 se trouve coincée entre un doigt de verrouillage 19 et une partie circulaire 20 formant le bouchon de l'ouverture de remplissage 16. La partie 18 formant l'élément de retenue de l'extrémité 17 de la poignée 1 ne représente qu'une partie de la surface circulaire du fond de l'ouverture de remplissage 16 de telle manière que lorsque la poignée 1 pivote dans le sens de la flèche comme le montre la fig. 2, autour de son extrémité 17, celle-ci se trouve libérée, débouchant l'ouverture de remplissage 16.The object of the invention is to prevent filling the tank 3 while the appliance is connected. For this, the filling opening 16 was made to coincide with the end 17 of the handle 1, the said handle being able to pivot around its end 16 as shown in FIG. 2. When the handle is in the closed position as shown in fig. 1, the part 18 of the filling opening 16 is wedged between a locking finger 19 and a circular part 20 forming the plug of the filling opening 16. The part 18 forming the retaining element of the end 17 of the handle 1 represents only a part of the circular surface of the bottom of the filling opening 16 so that when the handle 1 pivots in the direction of the arrow as shown in FIG. 2, around its end 17, the latter is released, opening the filling opening 16.

Pour ce faire, il faut que l'extrémité 21 de la poignée 1 puisse se déplacer. Ceci n'est possible que si la fiche logée dans la cavité 8 a été préalablement enlevée, libérant ainsi l'extrémité 21. L'extrémité 21 est agencée de manière à comporter une ouverture 22 laissant passer la fiche se logeant dans la cavité 8. Cette fiche dépassant la dite cavité 8 retient ainsi fixement l'extrémité 21 de la poignée 1 se trouvant alors dans la position de la fig. 1. De plus, une butée 23 avec un rebord en contact avec l'extrémité 21 de la poignée 1 permet de limiter le mouvement vertical et pivotant de la dite poignée 1, fixant ainsi solidement l'extrémité 21 de la dite poignée lorsque la fiche est mise.To do this, the end 21 of the handle 1 must be able to move. This is only possible if the plug housed in the cavity 8 has been removed beforehand, thereby releasing the end 21. The end 21 is arranged so as to have an opening 22 allowing the plug passing through the cavity 8. This plug beyond said cavity 8 thus fixedly retains the end 21 of the handle 1 then being in the position of FIG. 1. In addition, a stop 23 with a rim in contact with the end 21 of the handle 1 makes it possible to limit the vertical and pivoting movement of said handle 1, thus firmly fixing the end 21 of said handle when the plug is set.

On constate donc que la poignée 1 a été conçue de manière' à libérer l'ouverture de remplissage 16 seulement si la fiche logée dans la cavité 8 formant prise de courant a été préalablement enlevée, permettant ainsi à la poignée 1 de pivoter.It can therefore be seen that the handle 1 has been designed so as to release the filling opening 16 only if the plug housed in the cavity 8 forming a socket has been removed beforehand, thus allowing the handle 1 to pivot.

Un autre dispositif de sécurité a été incorporé dans l'appareil à défroisser les tissus. En effet, la bille 13 logée dans la chambre 24 empêche, lorsqu'elle se déplace en 13', de remplir le réservoir par le conduit 9, le déplacement en 13' de la bille étant automatique lorsque l'appareil est retourné de manière à être rempli par les orifices de sortie 11 de la plaque 10.Another safety device has been incorporated into the device for smoothing fabrics. In fact, the ball 13 housed in the chamber 24 prevents, when it moves in 13 ', from filling the reservoir through the conduit 9, the movement in 13' of the ball being automatic when the device is turned over so as to be filled by the outlet orifices 11 of the plate 10.

D'autre part, des ailettes de refroidissement 25 ont été incorporées au corps 2 de l'appareil. Ces ailettes de refroidissement 25 permettent à l'utilisateur d'éviter de se brûler lorsque sa main vient en contact avec le corps 2 de l'appareil contenant l'eau chauffée par les électrodes 5.On the other hand, cooling fins 25 have been incorporated into the body 2 of the device. These cooling fins 25 allow the user to avoid burning himself when his hand comes into contact with the body 2 of the device containing the water heated by the electrodes 5.

Ainsi, l'appareil à défroisser les tissus de l'invention, tout en étant d'un usage simple, présente des conditions de sécurité nettement améliorées par rapport aux appareils antérieurs.Thus, the apparatus for smoothing the fabrics of the invention, while being simple to use, presents clearly improved safety conditions compared to the previous apparatuses.
