Definitions

  • the object of the invention is in particular to eliminate this risk.
  • a steam ironing device of the type described above, is more particularly characterized in that a flexible tubular sealing joint is mounted in the opening of the cover of the steam chamber of the iron, and is adapted to receive by force fitting the front end of the tube.
  • a steam ironing device comprises an iron 1, an independent steam generator 2 and a flexible pipe 3 for supplying steam, connecting the steam generator to the iron.
  • the iron 1 (FIG. 1) comprises a sub-assembly (sole) designated by the general reference 4 in FIG. 2 and comprising a molded metal sole 5, for example made of aluminum, in which a vaporization chamber 6 is formed which communicates with the outside by means of outlet orifices 7 formed in the underside of the sole 5.
  • the vaporization chamber 6 is closed by a cover 8 of pressed sheet metal.
  • the cover 8 has a curved peripheral edge 9 which is embedded in a complementary groove 10 formed in the upper face of the sole 5.
  • the cover 8 is moreover held on the sole 5 by means of clamping elements (not shown).
  • a shielded electrical resistance 12 in the shape of a U of which only the two ends 12a, 12b are visible in FIG. 4.
  • the sub-assembly 4, FIG. 2, also includes a sheet metal plate 13, of Z-shaped cross section, which is fixedly disposed on the upper face of the sole 5, overhanging relative to the rear end of the latter, and which integrally supports an earth conductor 14 bent vertically upwards.
  • the flexible pipe 3, FIG. 1, connected at the outlet of the steam generator 2 and entering the rear part 15 of the iron 1, is connected to the vaporization chamber 6 of said iron by a single metal tube rigid steam pipe 16, made for example of aluminum, one end of which is said to be rear 17 is directly connected to the flexible pipe 3 and the other end of which is known as front 18 opens into the vaporization chamber 6 of the iron, being sealed in an opening 19 pierced in the cover 8 of the vaporization chamber 6 of the iron.
  • the rear end 17 of the tube 16 comprises an annular bead 20 on which the tube 3 is force fitted, the assembly being firmly held in place for example by means of a suitable strapping tape 21.
  • the front end 18 of the tube 16 is force fitted into a flexible tubular sealing joint 22 made of an elastomer, preferably a silicone, and mounted without play in the inlet opening 19 in the vaporization chamber 6 of the iron 1 in order to prevent any vapor leakage.
  • a flexible tubular sealing joint 22 made of an elastomer, preferably a silicone
  • the tubular seal 22 is presently constituted by a cylindrical flange 23, with a conical inlet (see FIG. 2), which is applied flat against the cover 8 and which is extended axially by a shank. or cylindrical end piece 24 projecting into the vaporization chamber 6 and provided with a bead 25 clipping behind a cylindrical groove 26 (FIG. 2) formed in the opening 19 of the cover 8 and coming from stamping.
  • the metal tube 16 is preferably preformed and has a front part 16a in the form of a swan neck, the front part 28 (FIG. 2) of which extends vertically in the joint 22 over the entire height of the latter, and the rear part of which 29 ( Figure 2) has an end section 30, opposite the bend 27 of the swan neck, which is supported against the cover 8 of the vaporization chamber 6, as clearly visible in Figures 1 and 3.
  • This section of end 30 of the rear part 29 of the swan neck is optionally held in abutment against the cover 8 by means of a clamping element, such as for example an adhesive tape (not shown).
  • the tube 16 From the rear part 29 of its swan neck conformation, the tube 16 has an intermediate part 16b directed towards the rear of the iron and disposed partially in abutment, on a first portion, against the cover 8 of the chamber spray 6, and on a second portion, against the plate 13 of the sole 5 (see FIG. 4), as well as a rear part 16c extending the intermediate part 16b, bent vertically upwards and connected to the flexible pipe 3, as seen in Figure 1.
  • the tube 16 in contact with the cover 8 secured to the sole 5, is itself heated by the electrical resistance 12 and therefore contributes to eliminating any drops of water which are entrained by the steam. produced by the generator 2 and which are capable of entering the vaporization chamber 6 of the iron where they are definitively vaporized, the vapor then escaping through the outlet orifices 7.
  • the presence of these drops of water entrained by the vapor is notably due to a condensation of the vapor in the flexible connecting pipe 3.
  • Their elimination by heating the tube 16 is all the more effective as the tube 16 is of great length, of small section and has baffles.
  • the iron 1 is never subject to the known problem of scaling because the lime deposits entirely in the generator 2, so that any drops of water entrained in the pipe 3 and the tube 16 by the steam produced by the generator 2 are drops of demineralized water.
  • the iron 1 also includes a thermal insulation cap 32 produced by molding in an insulating material and intended to be fixed on the soleplate 5 of the iron, for example at means of screws as illustrated at 33 in FIG. 1.
  • This cap 32 has a guide orifice 34 which is traversed by the bent vertical rear part 16c of the tube 16 and which has a vertical internal rib 35, coming from molding, and applied against this bent rear part 16c of the tube, substantially at the elbow thereof, so as to hold in place the rear part 16c of the tube 16 against the plate 13 secured to the sole 5.
  • the cap 32 also has an opening 36 through which the bent earth conductor 14 passes.
  • the tube 16, at its rear part 16c, is preferably electrically connected to the earth conductor 14.
  • the tube 16 is therefore almost entirely arranged below the thermal insulation cap 32, with a slight clearance j at its front part 16a swan neck.
  • the seal 22 is then mounted tightly in the opening 19 of the cover 8, then the front part 16a in the swan neck of the tube 16 is force fitted into the seal 22 and the cap 32 is attached to the sub-assembly 4 with projecting passage, on the one hand, from the rear part bent 16c of the tube 16 through the orifice 34 and, on the other hand, of the earth conductor 14 through the opening 36.
  • FIG. 3 shows such an assembly or mounting which is therefore easy and quick to execute, without risk of errors, and this in a manual or preferably automated manner.
  • the flexible hose 3 (shown in broken lines in FIG. 3) is directly connected to the rear end 17 of the tube 16.
  • the electrical wires (not shown) of the cord 37 are respectively connected to electrical conductors designated at 38 in FIG. 4. As can be seen in this FIG. 4, the tube 16 extends at an appropriate distance from these electrical conductors 38.
  • the iron 1 comprises a protective cover 39 forming a body with a hollow handle 40 and attached to the thermal insulation cap 32.
  • the opening 19 is preferably offset from the opening 43 which is formed on the longitudinal axis XX of the sole 5 of the iron.
