Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a steam iron with an external reservoir.
  • the present invention aims to remedy the aforementioned drawbacks. It allows in particular to provide an iron well suited to each ironing situation and the needs of the user.
  • the steam iron targeted by the invention comprises a vaporization chamber connected by a water or steam supply device to a flexible pipe coming from a large capacity external tank.
  • the iron further comprises a device for adjusting the water flow rate also connected to the vaporization chamber, this device for adjusting the flow rate being connected to a booster tank incorporated in the iron and separate from the power supply.
  • the user can use either the large-capacity external reservoir for long ironings, or the reservoir incorporated in the iron, of smaller capacity, for short-term ironings.
  • This iron therefore makes it possible to respond flexibly to the needs of the user.
  • the user can use the auxiliary tank to start ironing. This is particularly the case for external tanks delivering water vapor, which require a preliminary heating time.
  • the flexible hose is detachably connected to the external tank.
  • the implementation of the iron is thus simplified, the user being able to use the iron for short ironings without having to move and set up the external tank which is relatively bulky.
  • a body block of the iron carrying the flexible pipe is detachable, the flexible pipe being connected to the supply device when the body block is attached to the iron.
  • the iron 1 includes a vaporization chamber 2 disposed above the sole 3 of the iron.
  • the iron 1 comprises a supply device 8, 11 for the vaporization chamber 2 connected to a flexible pipe 9 coming from an external large-capacity tank.
  • the feed device 8, 11 consists of a conduit 8 having a first end 10 connected to the vaporization chamber 2 by means of a gravity feed device, such as a regulating needle 11 and a second end 12 connected to the flexible pipe 9.
  • the iron 1 also includes a water tank 4 connected to the vaporization chamber 2 by a regulating device 5.
  • the latter is conventionally a drip system 5 actuated by a control 6 disposed on the iron 1.
  • the reservoir 4 is supplied with water through an orifice 7 preferably located at the front of the iron.
  • the makeup tank 4 is separate from the supply conduit 8 connecting the interior tank to the vaporization chamber.
  • the two water or steam supply circuits are therefore completely separate from each other depending on whether they come from the external tank or the booster tank.
  • the vaporization chamber 2 can be supplied either by the water tank 4 integrated into the iron 1, or by the external tank.
  • the external tank can be a water tank comprising a pump adapted to supply water to the flexible pipe 9. The water thus passes through the flexible pipe 9 and the conduit 8 to be then distributed to the vaporization chamber 2 at a rate regulated by the needle 11.
  • the external tank can also include heating means adapted to vaporize the water contained in said external tank. The latter therefore directly distributes water in the form of steam to the iron.
  • the flexible pipe 9 is detachably connected to the external tank 13.
  • the flexible hose 9 is connected to the external reservoir 13 by a tubular quick connector 14 which is fixed in an outlet orifice 15.
  • This quick coupling 14 makes it very easy to connect and disconnect the iron 1 to the external reservoir 13.
  • a body block 16 of the iron, carrying the flexible pipe 9, is detachable, the flexible pipe 9 being connected to the supply device 8, 11 when the block body 16 is attached to the iron.
  • a second body block 17 is substitutable for the first body block 16.
  • the flexible pipe 9 of the iron 1 can be eliminated, which prevents it from interfering with the movements of the iron.
  • the first and second body blocks 16 and 17 comprise an electrical supply cord 18, this electrical supply cord 18 being connected to an electrical circuit of the iron 1, when the first 16 or the second 17 block body is attached to the iron.
  • This electrical supply cord 18 makes it possible in known manner to supply the energy necessary for the resistances of the iron 1 which equip the vaporization chamber 2.
  • the first and second body blocks 16 and 17 constitute the heel 19 of the iron.
  • the two detachable body blocks 16 and 17 thus fit onto the rear part of the iron 1 and are held on the iron 1 by means of latching means 20.
  • the iron 1 also comprises a control means 21 connected by a connector 22 to the external reservoir 13 and adapted to control the supply of the flexible hose 9 by the external reservoir 13.
  • control means 21 is arranged on the handle of the iron 1 so that, when the user grasps the iron 1 to iron, he automatically controls the distribution of water or steam by the external tank. This distribution is interrupted as soon as the iron is at rest and that the user no longer holds the handle of the iron 1.
  • the connector 22 is detachably connected to the external reservoir 13 which has a connection socket 23.
  • the flexible pipe 9, the connector 22 and the electrical supply cord 18 of the electrical circuit of the iron 1 open out of the iron inside a single connecting cord 24.
  • the external reservoir 13 has an electrical supply outlet 25 so that the flexible hose 9, the connector 22 and the electrical supply cord 18 are all connected to the external reservoir 13.
  • the first detachable body block 16 comprises the connector 22 which is connected to the external reservoir 13 and is connected to the control means 21 of the iron when the first body block 16 is attached to the iron.
  • the body block 16 also includes a flexible pipe 9.
  • the user can connect only the electrical supply cord 18 to the socket 25 of the external reservoir 13 and begin ironing using the auxiliary reservoir 4 integrated in the iron. iron while waiting for the steam generator to heat up enough to be operational.
  • the iron 1 according to the invention when using an external heated tank 13, allows immediate ironing without waiting for the generator preheating.
  • the body block 16 is replaced by the body block 17 which comprises only an electrical supply cord 18 which is connected to a classic power outlet.
  • the installation of the iron by the user is therefore very simplified for short-term ironing and requires only the iron to be removed, without the external reservoir 13.
  • connection of the iron to the external tank are not limiting.
