Definitions
- the present invention aims to provide an improved iron, which can be used at will for smoothing and ironing fabrics.
- the iron according to the invention is in accordance with claim 1.
- the iron shown in FIG. 1 is made up of two parts: on the one hand, a part 10 which is similar to the steamer described in the patent cited above and which will be described in detail below, and on the other hand part, a part 11 which is a metal ironing sole, permanently fixed to the part 10, by means of screws 12.
- Part 10 is formed by a molded hollow body, made of plastic, inside which there is a first chamber 13 and a second chamber 14 separated from each other by a wall 15 leaving a communication at 16 between the two chambers 13, 14, at the upper part thereof.
- a removable handle 17 is rotatably mounted in an opening 18 in the upper region of the part 10. This opening is used to introduce water into the chamber 13.
- the handle 13 is used to operate the device, when it is in the position of use shown in fig. 1. In this position, it is possible to introduce at 19 a female electrical plug intended to cooperate with the pins 20, which serve to supply a means 21. of electric heating of the water located in the chamber 13.
- the part 19 of the handle constitutes a safety measure in the sense that the handle 17 cannot be turned and then removed without first removing the electrical plug cooperating with the pins 20.
- the second chamber, 14 has in its lower part a perforated grid or plate surrounded by a part 23 having the appearance of a chimney open at the top and having half a frustoconical portion 24.
- a ball 25 is freely placed in this fireplace.
- the ball 25 rests on the grid or plate 22 and is released from the chimney 23, 24. If the device is overturned, the ball 25 falls into the conical part 24 and l closes. It is therefore a safety measure preventing, in this inverted position, the user from trying to pour water into the chamber 14, through the grid 22, which could be dangerous, especially in the case where the electric heating means 21 would be formed by metal plates immersed in water and between which the current passes through the water, to heat it.
- the metal soleplate 11 has at 26 an opening at the location of the grid or perforated plate 22.
- the presence of the metal soleplate makes it possible to reach a temperature of around 85 ° C., while without this soleplate, the lower surface of 10 would hardly reach more than 70 ° C.
- FIG. 2 the same reference numbers have been designated as in FIG. 1, which is identical to the case in FIG. 1.
- the difference consists. in that, in the case of FIG. 2, there is provided a metal sole 11a which is removable, which is hooked at 27 and 28 on the part 10, At 29, a sealing ring ensures the closure of the joint between 11a and 10.
- the shape of the sole 11 is such that it exists between it and the lower surface 30 of the part. 10, a chamber 31 into which comes the steam exiting through the openings of the plate 22.
- this soleplate 11a has openings 32, for the outlet through them of the steam located at 31.
- the apparatus then works as a classic steam iron.
- the appliance When the sole 11a is detached from the part 10, the appliance constitutes a steamer,
- This third example differs from the first in that it includes a metal ironing soleplate, fixed removably or permanently on the part 10 and comprises both an electric heater / incorporated therein in a known manner.
- This sole is pierced with holes 32a, similar to the holes 32 in FIG. 2 and used for the same purpose.
- 34 shows the control button of a thermostatic regulator of the temperature of the sole llb.
- 35 is the switch controlling 21 and 33.
- the heating of the ironing soleplate is independent of the temperature of the water heated by the means 21. This thus has the advantage of having a formation of vapor leaving through the holes 32a which is constant, so that the temperature of the sole llb can be adjusted according to the nature of the fabric to be ironed.
- the appliance can be used as a steamer in the same way as shown in fig. 2.

Abstract
Description
On connaît déjà des appareils défroisseurs de tissu au moyen de vapeur d'eau produite dans ces appareils et qu'on projette sur les tissus à défroissér. Le brevet.suisse No 626.129 et les brevets correspondants dans d'autres pays montrent un tel appareil.We already know fabric steamer by means of water vapor produced in these devices and that is sprayed on the fabrics to be steamed. Swiss patent No 626.129 and the corresponding patents in other countries show such an apparatus.
On connaît par ailleurs les fers à repasser classiques, à vapeur ou sans vapeur.We also know conventional irons, steam or without steam.
La présente invention vise à fournir un fer à repasser perfectionné, que l'on peut utiliser à volonté pour le défroissage et pour le repassage de tissus. Le fer à repasser selon l'invention est conforme à la revendication 1.The present invention aims to provide an improved iron, which can be used at will for smoothing and ironing fabrics. The iron according to the invention is in accordance with claim 1.
Les dessins annexés représentent, à titre d'exemples, trois formes d'exécution du fer à repasser selon l'invention.
- Figure 1 est une vue en coupe longitudinale médiane de la première forme d'exécution.
- Figure 2 est une vue analogue de la deuxième forme d'exécution.
- Figure 3 est une vue analogue de la troisième forme d'exécution.
- Figure 4 est une vue en coupe partielle .selon 4-4 de fig. 3,
- Figure 1 is a longitudinal longitudinal sectional view of the first embodiment.
- Figure 2 is a similar view of the second embodiment.
- Figure 3 is a similar view of the third embodiment.
- Figure 4 is a partial sectional view. According to 4-4 of fig. 3,
Le fer à repasser montré sur la figure 1 est formé de deux parties : d'une part, une partie 10 qui est semblable au défroisseur décrit dans le brevet cité plus haut et que l'on décrira en détail plus loin, et d'autre part, une partie 11 qui est une semelle métallique de repassage, fixée de façon permanente à la partie 10, au moyen de vis 12.The iron shown in FIG. 1 is made up of two parts: on the one hand, a
La partie 10 est formée par un corps creux moulé, en matière plastique, à l'intérieur duquel se trouvent une première chambre 13 et une deuxième chambre 14 séparées l'une de l'autre par une paroi 15 laissant une communication en 16 entre les deux chambres 13, 14, à la partie supérieure de celle-ci.
Une poignée amovible 17 est montée tournante dans une ouverture 18 de la région supérieure de la partie 10. Cette ouverture sert à introduire de l'eau dans la chambre 13. La poignée 13 sert à manoeuvrer l'appareil, lorsqu'elle est dans la position d'utilisation représentée sur la fig. 1. Dans cette position, il est possible d'introduire en 19 une fiche électrique femelle destinée à coopérer avec les broches 20, qui servent à alimenter un moyen 21. de chauffage électrique de l'eau se trouvant dans la chambre 13. La partie 19 de la poignée constitue une mesure de sécurité en ce sens que la poignée 17 ne peut pas être tournée puis enlevée sans que l'on ait au préalable enlevé la fiche électrique coopérant avec les broches 20.A
La deuxième chambre, 14, présente dans sa partie inférieure une grille ou plaque perforée entourée par une pièce 23 ayant l'apparence d'une cheminée ouverte en haut et présentant à mi-hauteur une portion tronconique 24. Une bille 25 est disposée librement dans cette cheminée. Lorsque l'appareil est dans la position représentée, la bille 25 repose sur la grille ou plaque 22 et est dégagée de la cheminée 23, 24. Si l'on renverse l'appareil, la bille 25 tombe dans la partie conique 24 et l'obture. Il s'agit donc d'une sécurité empêchant que, dans cette position inversée, l'usager puisse essayer de verser de l'eau dans la chambre 14, à travers la grille 22, ce qui pourrait être dangereux, surtout dans le cas où le moyen de chauffage électrique 21 serait formé par des plaques métalliques immergées dans l'eau et entre lesquelles le courant passe à travers l'eau, pour la chauffer.The second chamber, 14, has in its lower part a perforated grid or plate surrounded by a
La semelle métallique 11 présente en 26 une ouverture à l'endroit de la grille ou plaque perforée 22.The
Le fonctionnement de l'appareil représenté est le suivant.The operation of the device shown is as follows.
Sous l'effet du chauffage de l'eau de la chambre 13 par le moyen 21, il se produit de la vapeur qui passe en 16 et vient dans la chambre 14, d'où elle sort par la cheminée 23 et les ouvertures de la plaque 22. Cette vapeur sortant par ces ouvertures peut servir à défroisser un tissu lorsqu'on déplace l'appareil devant ce tissu disposé yerticale- ment. Si au contraire on utilise l'appareil pour le repassage d'un tissu, la semelle 11 agit comme dans un fer classique et la vapeur sortant à travers les ouvertures de 22 fait que l'appareil agit comme un fer à vapeur. On a ainsi un appareil à double usage.Under the effect of the heating of the water in
Il est à remarquer que la présence de la semelle métallique permet d'atteindre une température d'environ 85° C, alors que sans cette semelle, la surface inférieure de 10 n'atteindrait guère que 70°C.It should be noted that the presence of the metal soleplate makes it possible to reach a temperature of around 85 ° C., while without this soleplate, the lower surface of 10 would hardly reach more than 70 ° C.
Dans la forme d'exécution selon fig.. 2, on a désigné par les mêmes numéros de référence que sur la figure 1, ce qui est identique au cas de la figure 1. La différence consiste. en ce que, dans le cas de la fig. 2, il est prévu une semelle métallique 11a qui est amovible, qui vient s'accrocher en 27 et 28 sur la partie 10, En 29, un anneau d'étanchéité assure la fermeture du joint entre 11a et 10. En effet, la forme de la semelle 11 .est telle qu'il existe entre elle et la surface inférieure 30 de la partie. 10, une chambre 31 dans laquelle vient la vapeur sortant par les ouvertures de la plaque 22. Par ailleurs, cette semelle 11a présente des ouvertures 32, pour la sortie à travers elles de la vapeur se trouvant en 31. L'appareil travaille alors comme un fer à vapeur classique.In the embodiment according to FIG. 2, the same reference numbers have been designated as in FIG. 1, which is identical to the case in FIG. 1. The difference consists. in that, in the case of FIG. 2, there is provided a metal sole 11a which is removable, which is hooked at 27 and 28 on the
Lorsque la semelle 11a est détachée de la partie 10, l'appareil constitue un défroisseur,When the sole 11a is detached from the
Sur les figures 3 et 4 on a de nouveau désigné par les mêmes numéros de référence ce qui est .identique à l'exemple de la fig. 1.In FIGS. 3 and 4, the same reference numbers have again been designated, which is identical to the example in FIG. 1.
Ce troisième exemple diffère du premier par le fait qu'il comporte une semelle métallique de repassage, fixée de façon amovible ou permanente sur la partie 10 et comportant un corps de chauffe électrique/qui lui est incorporé de façon connue. Cette semelle est percée de trous 32a, analogues aux trous 32 de fig. 2 et servant au même usage. On voit en 34 le bouton de commande d'un régulateur thermo- statique de la température de la semelle llb. En 35 se trouve l'interrupteur commandant 21 et 33.This third example differs from the first in that it includes a metal ironing soleplate, fixed removably or permanently on the
Dans le cas où l'on veut détacher la semelle llb de la partie 10, il suffit de dévisser la vis 37 en actionnant le bouton 36 dont elle est munie.In the case where it is desired to detach the sole llb from the
Il est à remarquer que, dans ce troisième exemple, le chauffage de la semelle de repassage est indépendant de la température de l'eau chauffée par le moyen 21. On a ainsi l'avantage d'avoir une formation de vapeur sortant par les trous 32a qui est constante, alors qu'on peut régler la température de la semelle llb selon la nature du tissu à repasser.It should be noted that, in this third example, the heating of the ironing soleplate is independent of the temperature of the water heated by the
L'appareil peut être utilisé comme défroisseur de même façon qu'indiqué à propos de la fig. 2.The appliance can be used as a steamer in the same way as shown in fig. 2.
