Description

On connaît des presses à repasser électriques comprenant un bâti, une planche de repassage montée sur ce bâti, une plaque chauffante montée sur un bras de support articulé sur le bâti, un levier articulé sur le bras de support en un point éloigné de l'articulation du bras sur le bâti, ce levier agissant par l'intermédiaire d'un ressort sur un galet pour le presser élastiquement contre un chemin de roulement incurvé, porté par le bâti et s'étendant de part et d'autre de l'articulation du bras de support de façon que la réaction du ressort sur le bras tende à maintenir la presse ouverte et respectivement fermée selon la partie du chemin de roulement contre laquelle le galet est appuyé. Une presse de ce genre est décrite dans le brevet suisse No 508 087.Electric ironing presses are known comprising a frame, an ironing board mounted on this frame, a heating plate mounted on a support arm articulated on the frame, a lever articulated on the support arm at a point distant from the joint. of the arm on the frame, this lever acting by means of a spring on a roller to press it elastically against a curved raceway, carried by the frame and extending on either side of the articulation of the support arm so that the reaction of the spring on the arm tends to keep the press open and respectively closed depending on the part of the race against which the roller is pressed. One such press is described in Swiss Patent No. 508,087.

Dans cette construction connue le chemin de roulement est rigidement solidaire du bâti, de sorte que pour obtenir une position stable de fermeture de la presse, il est nécessaire d'usiner le chemin de roulement pour lui donner une forme produisant un maintien élastique du levier lorsqu'il est placé dans sa position de fermeture. Cet usinage du chemin de roulement est délicat et relativement coûteux.In this known construction, the raceway is rigidly secured to the frame, so that in order to obtain a stable position for closing the press, it is necessary to machine the raceway to give it a shape producing an elastic hold of the lever when 'it is placed in its closed position. This machining of the raceway is delicate and relatively expensive.

La présente invention concerne une disposition permettant d'une part de réaliser le chemin de roulement de façon plus simple et donc plus économique et d'autre part, d'augmenter dans une forte proportion l'épaisseur maximum des tissus pouvant être placés entre la plaque chauffante et la planche de repassage.The present invention relates to an arrangement making it possible on the one hand to make the raceway simpler and therefore more economical and on the other hand, to increase in a large proportion the maximum thickness of the fabrics that can be placed between the plate heating and ironing board.

A cet effet, la presse faisant l'objet de l'invention est caractérisée en ce que l'articulation du bras est portée par le bâti par l'intermédiaire d'une pièce destinée à fléchir sous l'action que le ressort exerce sur le chemin de roulement en position fermée de la presse, de façon que l'extrémité du chemin de roulement contre laquelle s'appuie le galet se déplace sous l'effet de la force exercée par le galet d'une distance plus grande que le déplacement correspondant du point d'articulation.To this end, the press which is the subject of the invention is characterized in that the articulation of the arm is carried by the frame by means of a part intended to flex under the action that the spring exerts on the raceway in the closed position of the press, so that the end of the raceway against which the roller rests moves under the effect of the force exerted by the roller more than the corresponding displacement the point of articulation.

Le dessin annexé représente schématiquement et à titre d'exemple une forme d'exécution de la presse à repasser selon l'invention.

  • La figure 1 en est une vue en élévation de côté en position fermée.
  • La figure 2 en est une vue en élévation de côté en position ouverte.
  • La figure 3 est une vue partielle de la figure 1 à plus grande échelle représentant le mécanisme de commande d'ouverture et de fermeture de la presse.
  • La figure 4 est une vue en coupe transversale selon IV-IV de la figure 3.
  • La figure 5 est une vue semblable à la figure 1 représentant en traits mixtes l'effet du décentrage des chemins de roulement.
The accompanying drawing shows schematically and by way of example an embodiment of the ironing press according to the invention.
  • Figure 1 is a side elevational view in the closed position.
  • Figure 2 is a side elevational view in the open position.
  • Figure 3 is a partial view of Figure 1 on a larger scale showing the opening and closing control mechanism of the press.
  • FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view along IV-IV of FIG. 3.
  • Figure 5 is a view similar to Figure 1 showing in phantom the effect of the decentralization of the raceways.

La presse à repasser représentée au dessin comprend un bâti 1 servant de support à une planche à repasser 2 recouverte de tissu. Un bras 3 auquel est suspendu une plaque chauffante 4 est articulé au bâti 1 sur des pivots 14 engagés dans des perçages de pattes 15 solidaires des montants 1a qu'il présente dans sa partie arrière. Un levier de commande manuelle 5 est articulé sur le bras 3 en un point 6 en avant de ces montants 1a. Le levier 5 présente un prolongement 7 au-delà de son point d'articulation 6 portant un coulisseau 8 muni de deux galets 9. Un ressort 10 tend à maintenir les galets en contact avec deux chemins de roulement 11 constitués par des cordes à piano laminées appliquées sur un support 12, venu de fonderie, monté pivotant sur les pivots 14 solidaires des montants 1a du bâti 1. Les chemins de roulement 11 sont à rayon constant dont le centre coïncide avec le point d'articulation 6 du levier 5 et deux cames 13 montées sur les montants 1a du bâti 1, au contact du support 12 assurent leur décentrage.The ironing press shown in the drawing comprises a frame 1 serving as a support for an ironing board 2 covered with fabric. An arm 3 from which a heating plate 4 is suspended is articulated to the frame 1 on pivots 14 engaged in holes in the lugs 15 integral with the uprights 1a which it has in its rear part. A manual control lever 5 is articulated on the arm 3 at a point 6 in front of these uprights 1a. The lever 5 has an extension 7 beyond its point of articulation 6 carrying a slide 8 provided with two rollers 9. A spring 10 tends to keep the rollers in contact with two rolling tracks 11 constituted by laminated piano strings applied to a support 12, coming from the foundry, pivotally mounted on the pivots 14 integral with the uprights 1a of the frame 1. The raceways 11 are at constant radius whose center coincides with the articulation point 6 of the lever 5 and two cams 13 mounted on the uprights 1a of the frame 1, in contact with the support 12 ensure their off-center.

On a représenté aux figures 1, 3 et 4 les cames 13 au contact du support 12 des chemins de roulement 11 dans leur position la plus excentrée correspondant à une épaisseur de tissu à repasser usuelle. Dans ces conditions, le ressort 10 se comprime lors de la fermeture et de l'ouverture de la presse dans des positions stables, le point d'articulation 6 du levier 3 se trouvant déplacé vers le haut en position d'ouverture de la presse.FIGS. 1, 3 and 4 show the cams 13 in contact with the support 12 of the raceways 11 in their most eccentric position corresponding to a usual thickness of fabric to be ironed. Under these conditions, the spring 10 compresses when the press is closed and opened in stable positions, the articulation point 6 of the lever 3 being displaced upwards in the press opening position.

Toutefois, la position stable de la presse fermée peut être maintenue pour une épaisseur de tissu supérieure du fait que les montants 1a du bâti 1 sont flexibles et absorbent l'effort supplémentaire exercé sur eux par le ressort 10 du levier 5.However, the stable position of the closed press can be maintained for a greater thickness of fabric because the uprights 1a of the frame 1 are flexible and absorb the additional force exerted on them by the spring 10 of the lever 5.

En réduisant le rayon des cames 13 au contact du support 12 des chemins de roulement 11, on peut retrouver une position stable de fermeture de la presse lors du repassage de tissus d'épaisseur supérieure, comme représentée en traits mixtes à la figure 5.By reducing the radius of the cams 13 in contact with the support 12 of the raceways 11, a stable closing position of the press can be found when ironing fabrics of greater thickness, as shown in phantom in FIG. 5.

Le réglage de la position des cames 13 en fonction de l'épaisseur du tissu à repasser peut se faire manuellement ou automatiquement. Dans ce dernier cas, une commande électrique montée dans la planche à repasser pourrait assurer le réglage de l'excentration des cames 13 en fonction de l'épaisseur du tissu reposant sur la planche 2.The adjustment of the position of the cams 13 as a function of the thickness of the fabric to be ironed can be done manually or automatically. In the latter case, an electric control mounted in the ironing board could adjust the offset of the cams 13 as a function of the thickness of the fabric resting on the board 2.

Dans une presse plus simple, les cames 13 pourraient être éliminées et le support 12 du chemin de roulement pourrait être fixé aux montants 1a du bâti 1 dont la flexibilité permettrait déjà, sans autre, le repassage de tissus d'une épaisseur usuelle sans avoir recours à un chemin de roulement de rayon variable.In a simpler press, the cams 13 could be eliminated and the support 12 of the raceway could be fixed to the uprights 1a of the frame 1 whose flexibility would already allow, without further, the ironing of fabrics of usual thickness without having recourse to a raceway of variable radius.
