Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a steam apparatus for stain removal of textile products, comprising a production unit equipped with an electric boiler for producing water vapor and control members.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a steam spotting apparatus suitable for domestic use, thanks to its small size and its ease of use, and making it possible to carry out the spotting, rinsing and drying of 'a portion of a textile product.
  • the invention relates to a steam device of the type mentioned above, characterized in that the production unit further comprises a compressor for producing compressed air, in that the device comprises a gun, connected to the production unit by a hose containing at least one pipe for the ejection of steam and / or compressed air by the gun onto the treated textile product, and in that the entire apparatus is portable.
  • the boiler control members can be arranged to maintain a substantially constant temperature of the steam contained in the boiler.
  • the gun comprises a steam control button, for controlling the emission of steam to the textile product, and a compressed air control button, for causing the emission of compressed air.
  • These control buttons are preferably integral with respective switches connected, by an electric cable housed in said flexible, to the respective control members of the boiler and of the compressor. These buttons can be arranged so that a user can, with one hand, carry the gun and operate the buttons.
  • the device advantageously includes a work table to support the textile product to be detached, this table being provided with a fabric support grid and a removable waste recovery bin, located under this grid.
  • the work table may further include a vacuum cleaner whose suction port is connected to said grid.
  • the production block comprises at least one handle, while this block and the work table are provided with mutual hooking means, to allow them to be transported together.
  • the production unit 1 comprises a case 2 which is portable by means of a handle 3 and which encloses the organs for producing steam and compressed air, as well as their control members.
  • the production unit is supplied with electricity by the network by means of a socket 4.
  • the supply of the various organs is not shown. It comprises a general switch 5 and an indicator light 6 serving as an operation indicator.
  • the steam is produced by an electric boiler 10 which can be supplied with water by a filling orifice 11 provided with a plug 12.
  • the boiler 10 is heated by an electric resistance which is controlled by a thermostat 13.
  • This thermostat is arranged for switching on and off the electrical resistance so as to maintain a substantially constant temperature of the steam inside the boiler 10.
  • the boiler is protected against over-boiling Safety valve 14.
  • a steam pipe 15 connects the top of the boiler to a solenoid valve 16 which, in the open position, lets steam escape into a collecting pipe 17.
  • the production unit 1 For the production of compressed air, the production unit 1 comprises a compressor 20 which sucks in the outside air by a suction mouth 21 and discharges it into a compressed air tube 22 which is connected to the collecting pipe 17. A check valve 23 is interposed on the compressed air pipe 22, in particular to prevent steam from escaping through the compressor.
  • the compressor 20 is driven by an electric motor 24, the supply of which is controlled by a relay 25.
  • the production unit 1 further comprises a transformer-rectifier 26 for supplying the control members with low voltage.
  • FIG. 2 represents a stain removal gun 30 which includes a nozzle 31 and an insulating handle 32.
  • the gun 30 is connected to the production unit 1 by a hose 33 which contains a flexible hose 34 and a control cable 35.
  • the flexible hose 34 is connected to the nozzle 31 by passing through the insulating handle 32.
  • the handle 32 comprises two control buttons 36 and 37 which are integral with two switches connected to the transformer 26 by a conductor 40 of the cable 35.
  • the switch of the steam control button 36 is connected to the solenoid valve 16 by a conductor 41 (FIG. 1), while the switch of the air control button 37 is connected to the relay 25 of the compressor by a conductor 42.
  • the boiler 10 heats the water it contains and produces steam by boiling.
  • the steam is maintained at a substantially constant temperature thanks to the thermostat 13, which also ensures the maintenance of a relatively constant pressure in the boiler.
  • the solenoid valve 16 is closed and retains the steam inside the boiler 10; on the other hand, the compressor 20 does not work.
  • the compressed air control button 37 When the user presses the compressed air control button 37, he energizes the conductors 25 and 42 of the compressor relay 25. The actuation of this relay triggers the power supply to the motor 24 of the compressor 20. The air compressed by the compressor reaches the nozzle 31 by tubing 22 and the flexible hose 34. As soon as the user releases the button 37, the relay 25 trips and cuts power to the compressor, which stops.
  • the apparatus includes a work table 40 shown in FIG. 3.
  • This table includes a generally flattened housing 41 and feet 42 the height of which can be freely chosen according to the mode d 'use.
  • the table 40 has very short feet 42 to be placed on an ordinary table.
  • the upper face of the housing 41 is provided with a grid 43 for supporting the fabric to be detached.
  • This grid can be formed either one by a rigid lattice, or by a perforated plate, in synthetic material or in metal covered with a synthetic material resistant to vapor and to solvents.
  • the work table 40 further comprises a bin 44 for recovering waste, disposed in the housing 41 under the grid 43 in the manner of a drawer. Thus, solid or liquid waste which passes through the grid 43 falls into the recovery tank 44.
  • the work table 40 can be equipped with an electric vacuum cleaner installed in a housing 45 of the housing 41 and arranged to draw air into the housing and reject it outside. This suction causes an influx of air through the fabric and the grid 43 towards the interior of the housing 41, which contributes to accelerating the evacuation of the waste in the tank or the drying of the fabric.
  • the device comprises means for hooking the production unit 1 to the work table 40.
  • the lower part of the production unit 1 has 4 articulated hooks 48 which are arranged to engage on four bars 49 provided on the sides of the work table 40.
  • the production unit 1 may include a support (not shown) for the gun 30 and the hose 33. Thus, it is possible transport the complete device by carrying it by the handle 3.
  • the main switch 5 After filling the boiler 10 with water (three quarters of liters in the example shown), the main switch 5 must be switched on and wait a few minutes for the steam to reach the desired temperature and pressure. In the meantime, the user can prepare the fabric to be detached by placing it on the grid 43 of the work table, by applying a stain-removing product to the task and by dabbing or brushing the fabric. He then grasps the gun 30 with one hand and, by actuating the button 36, he projects steam onto the treated area of the fabric, to remove the stain remover and the dirt residues. Then pressing button 37, it starts the compressor and projects air onto the fabric to dry it.
  • the bin 44 for recovering waste must be rinsed from time to time.
