Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electric steam iron comprising a sole extending longitudinally from a point to a heel, and comprising a heating element overmolded in a boss and two vaporization chambers closed by a cover and separated by a partition, either a first main vaporization chamber supplied with water by means of a first device for injecting water through a first opening made in the cover and communicating with steam outlet orifices made in the sole near the lateral edges of said sole, ie a second vaporization chamber placed in the anterior region of the sole, supplied with water by means of a second device for injecting water through a second opening made in the cover and communicating with other steam outlet orifices made in the anterior central part of the soleplate, the orifices made near oximity of the lateral edges of the sole and the orifices made in the anterior central part of the sole forming on said sole a first vaporization range.
  • the soles for electric steam irons of known type made for example of aluminum usually have many transverse steam outlet orifices to distribute the vapor over the entire surface of the sole.
  • Such a sole described in patent US-2708 801 has transverse orifices distributed over a large part of the surface of the sole to ensure, in the direction of movement of the iron, good moistening of the laundry.
  • the numerous transverse orifices generally cause excessive humidification of the linen as well as humidification of the support on which the linen to be ironed rests such as an ironing board.
  • the object of the invention is to remedy the aforementioned drawbacks by using an electric steam iron, the sole of which improves the distribution of steam by increasing the quality of ironing.
  • the soleplate of the electric steam iron further comprises, on the underside, from the tip towards the heel, after the first spraying range, a first drying range, devoid of outlet orifices vapor, and extending transversely between the lateral edges of the sole, this so-called first drying range being followed by a second vaporization range extending transversely between the lateral edges of the sole and into which the outlet openings open of vapor, said second vaporization range being itself followed by a second drying range devoid of vapor outlet orifices and extending over the entire remaining posterior surface of the sole.
  • the clothes to be ironed undergo a double action effect ensuring better smoothing of the clothes. Indeed, during ironing, the laundry is first stretched, then sprayed, then dried, and secondly again sprayed and then dried.
  • the distribution of the vapor under the soleplate, via the pipes avoids significant projections of water to the outside, thus minimizing excessive humidification of the linen and / or the support to be ironed.
  • the successive distribution of the drying and spraying areas extending transversely between the lateral edges of the sole makes it easier to iron the laundry during a back and forth movement of the iron on the laundry.
  • an electric steam iron of known type has a sole 1, for example of aluminum, extending longitudinally from a point 3 towards a heel not shown in Figure 1, and comprising an element heater 4 molded in a boss and two vaporization chambers 5 and 6 closed by a cover 2 and separated by a partition 7.
  • the first vaporization chamber 5 is supplied with water by means of a first water injection device (not shown) which passes through a first opening 8 made in the cover 2.
  • the first vaporization chamber 5 communicates with outlet orifices 10 steam formed in the underside 9 of the sole near the side edges 30 and 40 of said sole 1.
  • the second vaporization chamber 6 is placed in the anterior region of the sole 1. It is supplied with water by means of a second water injection device (not shown) which passes through a second opening 11 made in the cover 2.
  • Said second vaporization chamber 6 communicates with other vapor outlet orifices 12 formed in the front central part of the sole 1.
  • the orifices 10 formed near the lateral edges of the sole 1 and the orifices 12 formed in the anterior central part of the sole 1 form, on said lower face 9 of the sole 1, a first vaporization range 14.
  • the sole 1 further comprises, on its underside 9, from the tip 3 towards the heel 20 after the first spraying range 14, a first range dryer 16 without vapor outlet orifices and extending transversely between the lateral edges 30 and 40 of the sole 1.
  • Said first drying range 16 is followed by a second vaporization range 17 which extends transversely between the lateral edges 30 and 40 of the sole 1 and into which open steam outlet orifices 10.
  • the second vaporization range 17 is itself followed by a second drying range 18 devoid of steam outlet openings and extending over the entire remaining posterior surface of the sole 1.
  • the second vaporization range 17 includes steam routing pipes 21 and 22 towards the central part 23 of the sole 1. Said pipes are adapted to distribute the steam coming from the steam outlet orifices 10 over the whole of said second range spray 17.
  • the metal sole 1 of the iron is covered with a stainless plate 15.
  • the steam pipes are formed by channels 21 and 22 covered by the plate 15.
  • Said plate 15 has, for this purpose, holes 35 located opposite the steam outlet orifices.
  • the channels 21 and 22 have circular recesses having a substantially different depth to, on the one hand, direct the flow of vapor and, on the other hand, reduce lime deposits.
  • the channels 21 and 22 are longitudinal channels 21 and transverse channels 22. The flow of steam from the steam outlet orifices 1 thus follows the path represented by the arrows in FIG. 3. In this way, the second vaporization range provided with channels 21 and 22 has the general lateral shape of a chevron, the top of the V is turned towards the tip 3 of the iron.
  • the steam flow is distributed over the two spraying areas 14 and 17 and alternating with the drying areas 16 and 18 improves the quality of ironing.
