Definitions

  • the invention relates to steam irons comprising a heating soleplate comprising a vaporization chamber communicating with steam outlet orifices provided in said soleplate, and a housing the upper region of which forms a handle while the lower region is fixed to said sole, and which contains a water distribution means connected to said vaporization chamber.
  • irons comprising a device for adjusting a thermostat arranged on said soleplate and comprising a display means in connection with an operating member of said thermostat and comprising a display surface for indicating operating modes. iron which can be read through a window mounted in the wall of the housing.
  • the object of the invention is to eliminate this drawback.
  • the window has an internal face which is juxtaposed with the display surface.
  • the internal face is juxtaposed with the display surface while leaving a fine clearance ( ⁇ ) between them.
  • FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a steam iron comprising a display means according to the invention
  • Figure 2 shows on a larger scale a detail of the iron of Figure 1 illustrating the display means.
  • the steam iron represented in FIG. 1 comprises a heating soleplate 1 comprising a vaporization chamber 2 communicating with orifices 3 for the outlet of steam formed in said soleplate, and a housing 4 whose upper region forms a handle 5 while the lower region is fixed to said sole, the front face 4 ′ of this housing being inclined forward.
  • the housing 4 contains a means 6 for distributing water connected to said vaporization chamber as well as a device 7 for adjusting a thermostat 8 arranged on said soleplate and comprising a display means 9 which is in connection with a member for operation of said thermostat and which includes a display surface 11 of the operating modes of the iron, which can be read through a window 12 mounted in the wall of the housing 4.
  • the upper region of the housing 4 comprises in its front part the usual members for controlling the distribution means 6 which may, for example, be of the type either drop by drop or with injection pump.
  • the thermostat 8 is of the bimetal type and comprises a rotary control shaft 8 'linked to the operating member 10 which is formed by a rotary shaft 14 extending vertically towards the upper part of the housing 4 and the upper end 15 of which comprises a flange 16 transverse to the shaft, a peripheral annular zone of which carries the display surface 11.
  • the rotary shaft 14 is rotated by a button 14 ', a sector of which projects from the housing 4 through a light L.
  • the window 12 has an internal face 13 which is juxtaposed with the display surface 11.
  • the internal face 13 is juxtaposed with the display surface 11 while providing a thin clearance ( ⁇ ) between them.
  • the game ( ⁇ ) a thickness between 0.1 mm and 1 mm and preferably close to 0.5 mm.
  • the internal face 13 is juxtaposed with the display surface with a slight friction between them.
  • the display surface 11 and the internal face 13 are planar and extend practically in parallel planes, said internal face 13 being juxtaposed to a sector of said annular zone of the display surface 11.
  • the display surface and the internal face of the window could be produced in different shapes such as semi-spherical for both, or else cylindrical or conical for the display surface and planar for the internal face of the window. .
  • the window either in a transparent material, or in a translucent material which by contact with slight friction or with the film of air or water allows the reading of display area indications 11.
  • the window 12 is formed by a hollow body having an external window 18 fixed to the wall of the housing 4 and an internal window 19 constituting the internal face 13 which is juxtaposed with the display surface 11.
  • the hollow body can either be partially emptied of air, or filled with air, preferably dehumidified.
  • the window 12 being arranged on the front face 4 ′, the external window 18 is mounted inclined and tightly fixed on a frame 20 secured to the housing 4, while the internal window 19 is mounted in a plane parallel to the flange 16.
  • This internal window 19 is fixed to a skirt 21 of the frame 20 for example either by gluing or by screwing.
  • the housing 4 contains, near the display means 9, a lighting lamp which by its heat radiation contributes to preventing the formation of fogging on the internal face 13 of the window.
