Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein elektrisches Dampfbügeleisen mit wenigstens einer Verdampfer kammer und einem mit dieser in Verbindung stehenden Wassertank.The invention relates to an electric steam iron with at least one evaporator chamber and a water tank in connection therewith.

Bei den bekannten Bügeleisen dieser Art ist der Wassertank fest in den Bügeleisenkörper eingebaut. Das Nasser gelangt hierbei aus dem Tank durch impulsartiges manuelles Betätigen eines Ventils - beispielsweise mit Hilfe einer tastenartigen Handhabe - in kleinen, durch die Zeitdauer der Ventilöffnung gegebenen Mengen in die Verdampferkammer, worin es durch den Heizkörper des Bügeleisens zum Sieden gebracht wird.In the known irons of this type, the water tank is firmly installed in the iron body. The Nasser gets out of the tank by pulsing manual operation of a valve - for example with the help of a button-like handle - in small amounts given by the duration of the valve opening into the evaporator chamber, in which it is brought to the boil by the iron's heating element.

Der so erzeugte Dampf strömt in eine oder mehrere oberhalb der Verdampferkammer liegende oder durch oben offene Wandungen von ihr getrennte Hohlräume, aus denen er schließlich durch Kanäle in der Bügeleisensohle nach außen strömt. Ein fest ein- bzw. angebauter Tank vergrößert das Volumen und das Gewicht des Bügeleisens beträchtlich und erschwert dazufolge dessen Handhabung. Darüber hinaus macht das Füllen eines solchen Tanks infolge der oft ungünstigen Anordnung des Einfüllstutzens am Bügeleisen Schwingkeiten und kann häufig nur mittels eines besonderen Gefäßes oder eines Trichters durchgeführt werden. Auch dann kann beim Einfüllen das überlaufende Nasser in die Fugen zwischen der Sohle und der Haube des Bügeleisens dringen, womit nicht nur die im allgemeinen aus Leichtmetall bestehende Bügeleisensohle, sondern auch die elektrisch leitenden Teile durch Korrosion gefährdet sind. Bei einem im Inneren des Bügeleisengehäuses liegenden Tank beginnt das Nasser nach längerer Bügelzeit zu kochen.The steam generated in this way flows into one or more cavities lying above the evaporator chamber or separated from it by walls open from above, from which it finally flows out through channels in the soleplate of the iron. A permanently installed or attached tank increases the volume and weight of the iron considerably, making it difficult to handle. In addition, due to the often unfavorable arrangement of the filler neck on the iron, the filling of such a tank causes vibrations and can often only be carried out by means of a special vessel or a funnel. Even then, the overflowing wet water can penetrate into the joints between the sole and the hood of the iron, which means that not only the iron sole, which is generally made of light metal, but also the electrically conductive parts are at risk of corrosion. If the tank is inside the iron housing, the water starts to boil after a long ironing period.

Die aufgezeigten Mängel werden z.T. bei einem anderen bekannten Bügeleisen (DE-GM 18 78 818) durch einen lösbaren Tank behoben, der in die Griffwurzel des Bügeleisens einsetzbar ist. Diese Anordnung ist jedoch - wie die Praxis gezeigt hat - insbesondere wegen der Gewichtsbelastung durch den gefüllten Tank im Griffteil, der auch das Volumen des Bügeleisens bedeutend vergrößert, ungünstig. Im übrigen läßt dieser Bügeleisentyp eine ansprechende Produktgestaltung nicht zu.The shortcomings shown are partly remedied in another known iron (DE-GM 18 78 818) by a detachable tank which can be inserted into the handle root of the iron. However, this arrangement is - as practice has shown - particularly unfavorable because of the weight load from the filled tank in the handle part, which also significantly increases the volume of the iron. Incidentally, this type of iron does not allow an appealing product design.

Alle diese Nachteile werden beim Dampfbügeleisen gemäß der Erfindung vermieden, indem der Wassertank am rückwandigen Teil des Bügeleisens angeordnet ist.All these disadvantages are avoided in the steam iron according to the invention in that the water tank is arranged on the rear wall part of the iron.

Der Wassertank ist mit Vorteil so ausgebildet, daß seine rückwärtige Wandung als Standfläche für das Bügeleisen dient und zu diesem Zwecke eine ebene Fläche ist. Um ein bequemes Verstauen des elektrischen Anschlußkabels zu ermöglichen, ist bei einer besonderen Ausführungsform der Wassertank mit einer umlaufenden Nut oder umlaufenden Vertiefung ausgestattet, die der problemlosen Aufwicklung und Aufnahme des elektrischen Anschlußkabels dienen.The water tank is advantageously designed so that its rear wall serves as a base for the iron and is a flat surface for this purpose. In order to enable the electrical connection cable to be stowed away comfortably, in a special embodiment the water tank is equipped with a circumferential groove or recess which serve for the problem-free winding up and reception of the electrical connection cable.

Nach einer anderen Ausführung der Erfindung ist der Wassertank auch an das Bügeleisen ansetzbar, wobei er sich organisch in dessen Gehäuseumriß einfügt. Der lösbare Tank braucht sich hierbei nicht über den gesamten rückwandigen Teil des Bügeleisens zu erstrecken, sondern lediglich über das obere Teilstück der Rückwand, wobei sein Umriß dem festen, die elektrische und die thermische Schalteinrichtung aufnehmenden Teil des Bügeleisengehäuses angepaßt ist.According to another embodiment of the invention, the water tank can also be attached to the iron, where it organically fits into the housing outline. The detachable tank does not have to extend over the entire rear wall part of the iron, but only over the upper section of the rear wall, its outline being adapted to the fixed part of the iron housing which accommodates the electrical and thermal switching device.

Der an das Bügeleisen ansetzbare Wassertank ist mit dem Bügeleisengehäuse verrast- und/oder verriegelbar. Das Verrasten des Tanks am rückwandigen Teil des Bügeleisens erfolgt über eine aus der Seitenwandung des Bügeleisens. angeordnete Rast- oder Regelvorrichtung, die von außen über eine Taste betätigbar ist.The water tank that can be attached to the iron can be locked and / or locked with the iron housing. The tank is locked onto the rear wall part of the iron via one from the side wall of the iron. Arranged locking or control device that can be operated from the outside via a button.

Die obere sattelartige Wandung des Wassertanks ist vorzugsweise mit einer sich in Längsrichtung des Bügeleisengehäuses erstreckenden Vertiefung ausgestattet, in die eine Kabeltülle eintaucht, deren bügeleisenseitiges Ende am rückwandigen Teil des Bügeleisens angelenkt ist.The upper saddle-like wall of the water tank is preferably with a depression extending in the longitudinal direction of the iron housing equipped, into which a cable grommet plunges, the iron-side end of which is articulated on the rear wall part of the iron.

Die Kabeltülle ist bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform mit Vertiefungen oder Nuten versehen, die mit den entsprechenden ausgeformten Nuten der Tanks korrespondieren und die der Aufwicklung des elektrischen Zuleitungskabels dienen.In a preferred embodiment, the cable grommet is provided with depressions or grooves which correspond to the correspondingly shaped grooves in the tanks and which serve to wind up the electrical supply cable.

Die Neuerung läßt die verschiedensten Ausführungsmöglichkeiten zu. Eine davon ist in den anhängenden Zeichnungen perspektivisch dargestellt.The innovation allows a wide variety of design options. One of them is shown in perspective in the attached drawings.

  • Figur 1 zeigt das Dampfbügeleisen in perpektivischer Ansicht,FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of the steam iron,
  • Figur 2 den Wasserbehälter einzeln in perspektivischer Ansicht undFigure 2 shows the water tank individually in a perspective view
  • Figur 3 das elektrische Verbindungskabel mit Schlauchtülle ebenfalls in perpektivischer Ansicht.Figure 3 shows the electrical connection cable with hose nozzle also in perspective view.

Das dargestellte Dampfbügeleisen 1 besteht im wesentlichen aus. einem mehrteiligen Gehäuse 2, 3, 4 und 5, wobei der ruckwandige Teil 4 etwa die Form eines Trapezes hat. und plan ausgebildet ist. An dem rückwandigen Teil 4 ist der Wassertank 5 angesetzt, wobei der Wassertank 5 mit einer spiralig umlaufenden Nut 6 versehen ist, die der Aufwicklung des elektrischen Zuleitungskabel 7 dient. Der Wassertank 5 ist mit dem rückwandigen Teil 4 des Bügeleisens 1 über eine nicht näher dargestellte Verrastung oder Verriegelung verbunden, die über die Taste 8 betätigbar ist. Der sattelartige obere Teil des Wassertanks 5 ist mit einer in Bügeleisenlängsrichtung verlaufenden Vertiefung oder Rinne 9 versehen, in die die Tülle 10 des elektrischen Zuleitungskabels eintaucht, wenn sich das elektrische Zuleitungskabel 7 in der in der Zeichnung dargestellten Position befindet.The steam iron 1 shown consists essentially of. a multi-part housing 2, 3, 4 and 5, the rear wall part 4 has approximately the shape of a trapezoid. and is flat. The water tank 5 is attached to the rear wall part 4, the water tank 5 being provided with a spiral groove 6 which serves to wind up the electrical supply cable 7. The water tank 5 is connected to the rear wall part 4 of the iron 1 via a not shown locking or locking, which can be operated via the button 8. The saddle-like upper part of the water tank 5 is provided with a recess or groove 9 running in the longitudinal direction of the iron, into which the grommet 10 of the electrical supply cable is immersed when the electrical supply cable 7 is in the position shown in the drawing.

Wird das Bügeleisen 1 auf den trapezförmig ausgebildeten rückwandigen Teil 11 abgestellt, d.h. also in seine Ruhelage gebracht, so kann vorher das elektrische Zuleitungskabel 7 in Pfeilrichtung A verschwenkt werden, wobei die Kabeltülle 10 etwa die in der Zeichnung strichliert dargestellte Position einnimmt. Die Kabeltülle 10 ist zu diesem Zweck bei 12 am sattelartigen oberen Teil 2 des Bügeleisens 1 schwenkbar angeordnet.If the iron 1 is placed on the trapezoidal rear wall part 11, that is to say brought into its rest position, the electrical supply cable 7 can be pivoted beforehand in the direction of arrow A, the cable grommet 10 assuming approximately the position shown in broken lines in the drawing. For this purpose, the cable grommet 10 is pivotably arranged at 12 on the saddle-like upper part 2 of the iron 1.

Der Wassertank 5 weist an seinem hinteren unteren Teil eine schwanzartige Verlängerung 13 auf, durch die einerseits die Standfläche 11 vergrößert ist und die andererseits sicherstellt, daß das um den Wassertank 5 herumgewickelte elektrische Zuleitungskabel 7 in seiner aufgewickelten Lage verbleibt, wenn das Bügeleisen außer Gebrauch ist. Um den Wassertank 5 vom Bügeleisen 1 abnehmen zu können, ist es erforderlich, die Taste 8 niederzudrücken. Der Wassertank ist nach dem Niderdrücken der Taste 8 abnehmbar, wobei ein Ventil im Verbindungskanal zwischen der Verdampfereinrichtung und dem Wasserbehälter 5 (nicht dargestellt) dafür Sorge trägt, daß kein Wasser unbeabsichtigt aus dem Wassertank ausläuft. Es ist klar, daß der Wassertank 5 mit einer Einfüllöffnung versehen ist, die zweckmäßigerweise in einer Vertiefung des rückwandigen Teils vorgesehen ist.The water tank 5 has at its rear lower part a tail-like extension 13, through which on the one hand the footprint 11 is enlarged and on the other hand ensures that the electrical supply cable 7 wrapped around the water tank 5 remains in its wound position when the iron is not in use . In order to be able to remove the water tank 5 from the iron 1, it is necessary to press the button 8. The water tank can be removed after the button 8 is depressed, a valve in the connecting channel between the evaporator device and the water tank 5 (not shown) ensuring that no water inadvertently leaks from the water tank. It is clear that the water tank 5 is provided with a filling opening which is expediently provided in a recess in the rear wall part.

Das in der Zeichnung dargestellte Bügeleisen weist gegenüber herkömmlichen Bügeleisen den Vorteil auf, daß es mit abgenommenen Wasserbehälter benutzbar ist und in diesem Falle als relativ handliches, leichtes und kleines Bügeleisen benutzbar ist.The iron shown in the drawing has the advantage over conventional irons that it can be used with the water tank removed and in this case can be used as a relatively handy, light and small iron.

Für den Fall, daß der Wassertank angesetzt ist, läßt sich das Bügeleisen bequem auf die Fläche 11 stellen, wobei gleichzeitig sichergestellt ist, daß die Verdampfereinrichtung im Bügeleisen 1 von der Wasserzufuhr abgetrennt ist.In the event that the water tank is attached, the iron can be conveniently placed on the surface 11, at the same time ensuring that the evaporator device in the iron 1 is disconnected from the water supply.

Soll das Bügeleisen zum Zwecke der Aufbewahrung verstaut werden, so bildet der angesetzte Wassertank 5-mit seiner spiralig um den Wassertank herum laufenden Nut 6 und seiner schwanzartigen Verlängerung 13 einen idealen Wickelkörper für das elektrische Zuleitungskabel 7.If the iron is to be stowed for the purpose of storage, the attached water tank 5, with its groove 6 running spirally around the water tank and its tail-like extension 13, forms an ideal winding body for the electrical supply cable 7.

Zum Zweck des kurzzeitigen Abstellens des Bügeleisens wird das Zuleitungskabel 7 - wie bereits oben näher beschrieben - verschwenkt, was den besonderen Vorteil aufweist, daß das Bügeleisen fest auf der Fläche 11 ruht.For the purpose of briefly turning off the iron, the supply cable 7 is pivoted, as already described above, which has the particular advantage that the iron rests firmly on the surface 11.

Auch während der Benutzung des Bügeleisens kann das elektrische Zuleitungskabel 7 mit angeformter Tülle leichter bewegt werden, weshalb das Bügeleisen 1 besonders gut zum Bügeln hin und her bewegbar ist.Even when the iron is in use, the electrical supply cable 7 can be moved more easily with the molded grommet, which is why the iron 1 can be moved back and forth particularly well for ironing.
