Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electric steam iron with at least one evaporator chamber and a water tank connected to it.
  • the water tank is firmly installed in the iron body.
  • the water gets out of the tank by pulsing manual operation of a valve - for example with the aid 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.
  • 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.
  • the filling of such a tank causes difficulties due to the often unfavorable arrangement of the filler neck on the iron and can often only be carried out by means of a special vessel or a funnel. Even then, the overflowing water can penetrate into the joints between the sole and the hood of the iron, so that not only the iron sole, which is generally made of light metal, but also the electrically conductive parts are at risk of corrosion. With a tank inside the iron housing, the water starts to boil after a long ironing period.
  • a steam iron of the type specified which has the features listed in the characterizing part of claim 1.
  • the water tank is thus designed so that its rear wall can be used as a standing surface for the iron and for this purpose is a flat surface, and also its longitudinal walls form a winding body of essentially prismatic shape to wake up the connecting cable, with circumferential or thread-like grooves therefor ensure that the turns of the cable wrap can be put on easily and then properly fixed.
  • the detachable tank extends only over part of the rear wall of the iron, its outline being adapted to the fixed part of the iron housing which accommodates the electrical and thermal switching device.
  • the upper saddle-like wall of the water tank is preferably equipped with a recess extending in the longitudinal direction of the iron housing, into which a cable grommet is immersed, the iron-side end of which is articulated on the rear wall part of the iron.
  • 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.
  • the steam iron 1 shown consists essentially of a multi-part housing 2, 3, 4 and 5, wherein 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 actuated 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.
  • 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.
  • the cable grommet 10 is pivotably arranged at 12 on the saddle-like upper part 2 of the iron 1.
  • 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-up position when the iron is not in use .
  • the button 8 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 has been depressed, a valve in the connecting channel between the evaporator device and the water tank 5 (not shown) ensuring that no water inadvertently escapes from the water tank.
  • the water tank 5 is provided with a filling opening which is expediently provided in a recess in the rear wall part.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the supply cable 7 is pivoted, as already described above, which has the particular advantage that the iron rests firmly on the surface 11. Even while 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.
