Abstract
Description
L'invention concerne un fer à repasser électrique à vapeur comprenant un boîtier et une semelle s'étendant longitudinalement d'une pointe vers un talon et séparée du boîtier par un écran thermique. La semelle comprend un élément chauffant surmoulé dans un bossage et deux chambres de vaporisation fermées par un capot et séparées par une cloison, soit une première chambre de vaporisation principale qui est alimentée en eau dans une première ouverture du capot au moyen d'un robinet d'un premier dispositif d'injection d'eau actionnable par un utilisateur, ledit robinet étant monté dans une chambre de distribution fermé par un couvercle et présentant un orifice d'entrée relié à un réservoir d'eau principal et qui est en communication avec des orifices de sortie de vapeur pratiqués dans la semelle, soit une deuxième chambre de vaporisation qui est alimentée en eau au moyen d'un deuxième dispositif d'injection d'eau actionnable par un utilisateur présentant, d'une part, un orifice lié à une canalisation reliée au réservoir d'eau principal et, d'autre part, un tube d'acheminement d'eau issu du deuxième dispositif d'injection d'eau et débouchant dans la deuxième chambre de vaporisation au travers d'une deuxième ouverture pratiquée dans le capot.The invention relates to an electric steam iron comprising a housing and a sole extending longitudinally from a point to a heel and separated from the housing by a heat shield. The sole includes a heating element molded into a boss and two vaporization chambers closed by a cover and separated by a partition, i.e. a first main vaporization chamber which is supplied with water in a first opening of the cover by means of a tap d a first water injection device operable by a user, said tap being mounted in a distribution chamber closed by a cover and having an inlet orifice connected to a main water tank and which is in communication with steam outlet openings in the sole, a second vaporization chamber which is supplied with water by means of a second water injection device operable by a user having, on the one hand, an orifice linked to a pipe connected to the main water tank and, on the other hand, a water supply tube coming from the second water injection device and opening into the second me vaporization chamber through a second opening in the hood.
Des fers à repasser électriques à vapeur de ce type sont utilisés au choix pour le repassage à sec ou à vapeur. Lors du repassage à vapeur, deux choix sont proposés à l'utilisateur, soit un premier choix au cours duquel la semelle du fer à repasser est utilisée dans un plan horizontal et pour lequel l'utilisateur agit sur le premier dispositif d'injection d'eau, soit un deuxième choix au cours duquel la semelle du fer à repasser est utilisée dans un plan vertical et pour lequel l'utilisateur agit sur le deuxième dispositif d'injection d'eau.Electric steam irons of this type are used either for dry or steam ironing. During steam ironing, the user has two choices, a first choice during which the soleplate of the iron is used in a horizontal plane and for which the user acts on the first injection device for water, or a second choice during which the soleplate of the iron is used in a vertical plane and for which the user acts on the second water injection device.
Lorsque la semelle du fer est utilisée dans un plan vertical, la chambre de distribution se vide complètement dans le réservoir d'eau principal. Le deuxième dispositif d'injection d'eau ne peut donc s'alimenter que par l'intermédiaire dudit réservoir principal. Cet arrangement nécessite ainsi des dispositifs complexes et onéreux et entraîne une utilisation de nombreux joints d'étanchéité.When the soleplate is used in a vertical plane, the distribution chamber empties completely into the main water tank. The second water injection device can therefore only be supplied via said main tank. This arrangement thus requires complex and expensive devices and leads to the use of numerous seals.
Le but de l'invention est de remédier aux inconvénients précités en mettant en oeuvre une nouvelle structure de la chambre de distribution du fer à repasser électrique à vapeur pour, d'une part, simplifier les opérations inhérentes au montage dudit fer et, d'autre part, minimiser le coût d'une fabrication en grande série.The object of the invention is to remedy the aforementioned drawbacks by implementing a new structure of the distribution chamber of the electric steam iron for, on the one hand, simplifying the operations inherent in the mounting of said iron and, on the other hand, minimize the cost of mass production.
Selon l'invention, la chambre de distribution comporte deux compartiments séparés en partie par une cloison dont le bord supérieur est en contact étanche avec le couvercle, soit un premier compartiment lié à l'orifice d'entrée du réservoir et au travers duquel passe le robinet du premier dispositif d'injection d'eau, soit un deuxième compartiment communiquant avec le premier compartiment par un goulet et apte à constituer une réserve d'eau lorsque le fer est utilisé avec sa semelle dans un plan vertical et, dans lequel plonge, au travers du couvercle, la canalisation du deuxième dispositif d'injection d'eau.According to the invention, the distribution chamber comprises two compartments separated in part by a partition, the upper edge of which is in leaktight contact with the cover, that is a first compartment linked to the inlet opening of the tank and through which the tap of the first water injection device, ie a second compartment communicating with the first compartment by a neck and capable of constituting a reserve of water when the iron is used with its soleplate in a vertical plane and, in which dives, through the cover, the pipe of the second water injection device.
Grâce à la nouvelle structure de la chambre de distribution, le nombre de pièces utilisées autour des deux dispositifs d'injection d'eau est diminué, ce qui, d'une part, limite l'encombrement à l'intérieur du fer à repasser ainsi que le nombre de joints d'étanchéité et, d'autre part, simplifie la fabrication dudit fer. De plus, lorsque la semelle du fer à repasser est utilisée dans un plan vertical, la réserve d'eau réalisée dans la chambre de distribution constitue une réserve d'eau indépendante du réservoir d'eau principal et dont le volume d'eau est suffisamment important pour les besoins de l'utilisateur.Thanks to the new structure of the distribution chamber, the number of parts used around the two water injection devices is reduced, which, on the one hand, limits the space inside the iron as well that the number of seals and, on the other hand, simplifies the manufacture of said iron. In addition, when the soleplate of the iron is used in a vertical plane, the water reserve created in the distribution chamber constitutes a water reserve independent of the main water tank and whose volume of water is large enough for the needs of the user.

Selon la figure 1, un fer à repasser de type connu comprend un boîtier 1 et une semelle 2, par exemple en aluminium, s'étendant longitudinalement d'une pointe 3 vers un talon 4. Ladite semelle 2 est séparée du boîtier 1 par un écran thermique 6, réalisé, par exemple, en bakélite. La semelle 2 comprend un élément chauffant 7 surmoulé dans un bossage 8 et deux chambres de vaporisation fermées par un capot 5 et séparées par une cloison 50. Une première chambre de vaporisation principale 9 est alimentée en eau dans une première ouverture 17 du capot 5 au moyen d'un robinet 10 d'un premier dispositif d'injection d'eau 11 actionnable par un utilisateur, ledit robinet 10 étant monté dans une chambre de distribution 12 fermée par un couvercle 13 et présentant un orifice d'entrée 14 relié à un réservoir d'eau principal 15. La première chambre de vaporisation principale 9 est en communication avec la face inférieure de la semelle 2 au moyen d'orifices de sortie de vapeur 19 pratiqués dans la semelle 2, par exemple à proximité des bords latéraux de ladite semelle 2. Une deuxième chambre de vaporisation 20 placée vers la région antérieure de la semelle est alimentée en eau au moyen d'un deuxième dispositif d'injection d'eau 21 actionnable par un utilisateur présentant, d'une part, un orifice 27 lié à une canalisation 29 reliée au réservoir d'eau principal 15 et, d'autre part, un tube d'acheminement d'eau 22 issue du deuxième dispositif d'injection d'eau 21 et débouchant dans la deuxième chambre de vaporisation 20 au travers d'une deuxième ouverture 23 pratiquée dans le capot 5.According to FIG. 1, an iron of known type comprises a housing 1 and a sole 2, for example made of aluminum, extending longitudinally from a
Les dispositifs d'injection d'eau 11 et 21 sont des dispositifs d'injection d'eau de type connu. La chambre de distribution 12 est généralement formée dans un corps venu de moulage et réalisé en un élastomère, de préférence un silicone, susceptible de résister à la température du capot de la semelle sur lequel il repose.The
Selon la figure 2, la chambre de distribution 12 comporte deux compartiments séparés en partie par une cloison 24 dont le bord supérieur 20 est en contact étanche avec le couvercle 13, soit un premier compartiment 26 lié à l'orifice d'entrée 14 et au travers duquel passe le robinet 10 du premier dispositif d'injection d'eau 11, soit un deuxième compartiment 28 communiquant avec le premier compartiment 26 par au moins un goulet 30 et apte à constituer une réserve d'eau lorsque le fer est utilisé avec sa semelle dans un plan vertical et dans lequel plonge, au travers du couvercle 13, l'orifice 27 du deuxième dispositif d'injection d'eau 21.According to Figure 2, the
Le deuxième compartiment 28 présente la forme générale d'une poche dont le fond 27' est orienté vers le talon 4 du fer à repasser.The
La chambre de distribution 12 comporte, en outre, un évent 31 débouchant dans le premier compartiment 26 de ladite chambre de distribution 12 et adapté au fonctionnement du deuxième dispositif d'injection d'eau 21 lorsque le fer est utilisé avec sa semelle 2 dans un plan vertical.The
Dans l'exemple de réalisation représenté à la figure 2, l'évent 31 est pratiqué dans le couvercle 13 de la chambre de distribution 12 et est relié par un canal 32 à l'extérieur du boitier 1 du fer à repasser. Le réservoir d'eau principal 15 comporte un évent 33 pratiqué dans sa partie supérieure 34 et relié, par un canal 35, au canal 32 par un connecteur 36.In the embodiment shown in Figure 2, the
De cette manière, l'eau s'écoule aisément du réservoir d'eau principal 15 vers la chambre de distribution 12. Comme représenté sur les figures 3 et 4 où toutes les références correspondent à toutes les références des éléments représentés sur les figures 1 et 2, la cloison 24 a la forme générale d'un crochet dont l'extrémité libre 37 forme avec la paroi adjacente 38 de la chambre 12 le goulet 30 et dont le pied est raccordé à la paroi 38 de la chambre de distribution 12. La paroi 38 présente, par exemple, une forme ovoïdale. De nombreuses formes de cloison peuvent être envisagées.In this way, the water flows easily from the
Lorsque la chambre de distribution 12 est reliée au réservoir d'eau principal 15, l'eau pénètre dans ladite chambre de distribution 12 par l'orifice d'entrée 14 et s'écoule selon un circuit de remplissage représenté par des flèches sur la figure 4. Ainsi, l'eau se répartit dans les deux compartiments 26 et 28 de la chambre de vaporisation 12.When the
Selon la figure 5, le fer étant utilisé avec sa semelle dans un plan vertical, la chambre de distribution 12 se trouve dans une position verticale. La chambre de distribution 12, initialement remplie d'eau avant le passage de la semelle du fer dans un plan vertical, se vide en partie. L'eau contenue dans le premier compartiment 26 s'écoule par l'orifice 14 vers le réservoir d'eau principal 15 non représenté sur cette figure alors que l'eau contenue dans le deuxième compartiment 28 est stoppée par la cloison 24. Par conséquent, l'utilisateur peut actionner librement le deuxième dispositif d'injection d'eau 21 et utiliser le fer avec le deuxième choix correspondant à un défroissage vertical utilisé généralement pour des tissus fragiles.According to Figure 5, the iron being used with its sole in a vertical plane, the
Dans un mode de réalisation préférentiel illustré à la figure 6, la chambre de distribution 12 est constituée d'une pièce avec l'écran thermique 6. Grâce à cette nouvelle structure de l'écran thermique, le nombre de pièces utilisées pour la fabrication d'un fer à repasser électrique à vapeur est diminué, ce qui, d'une part, facilite le montage dudit fer et, d'autre part, améliore les coûts de revient d'un tel fer.In a preferred embodiment illustrated in FIG. 6, the
