Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an iron.
  • the present invention aims to provide an iron, the use of which dispenses with the brushing action usually consecutive to the ironing of fabrics sensitive to buffing.
  • the invention therefore relates to a clothes iron with a soleplate.
  • this iron is characterized in that it comprises a member carrying fibers for brushing the laundry which is in contact with the sole, said member being located at the rear of the iron so that the fibers are placed at the vicinity of the plane defined by the outer face of the soleplate of the iron, a portion of the fibers extending outside the iron beyond said plane.
  • the linen in contact with the sole is therefore also in contact with the fibers.
  • the fibers brush the laundry. Ironing and sanding therefore take place simultaneously, during the same gesture of the user.
  • the user is therefore exempt from the specific manual brushing action as well as from permanent monitoring of the surface condition of the fabric.
  • the brushing fibers can comprise bristles, brushing fibers formed in the form of a velvet or else of a felt fabric.
  • the shine under the action of the bristles will be adapted to fabrics of ordinary resistance while the use of velvet or felt will be preferred for more delicate fabrics.
  • the iron comprises a cylindrical roller having on its periphery at least a part brushing fibers, the axis of the cylindrical roller being substantially parallel to the plane defined by the outer face of the sole and perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the iron, the roller being mounted in rotation about its axis, the fibers being fixed to the roller by one of their ends towards the inside of the iron below said plane, the other end of the fibers extending outside the iron beyond said plane.
  • the roller may be free to rotate.
  • the brushing fibers rub gently on the fabric.
  • the roller turns and new bristles come into contact with the laundry. These multiple surface bites restore the linen to its original non-shiny appearance.
  • the roller can also be motorized. The brushing action of the laundry during ironing is then much more energetic.
  • the iron comprises a shoe comprising a flat surface lying substantially in the plane defined by the outer face of the soleplate of the iron, this surface having at least part of the brushing fibers.
  • This pad can be mounted resiliently relative to the iron so that in the relaxed position of the pad, said surfaceplane extends substantially outward from the iron, beyond said plane.
  • the pad produces friction and brushing comparable to the action of a manual brush.
  • Figure 1 shows a first embodiment of the invention.
  • the iron 1 has at its base a sole 2 whose outer face is placed in contact with the linen during ironing.
  • the iron 1 comprises a member 3 carrying fibers 4 for brushing the laundry which is in contact with the sole 2.
  • the member 3 is a cylindrical roller 3 having on its periphery the fibers 4 which are bristles 4 in the present example. Depending on the characteristics desired for the bristles 4, in particular their rigidity, these will be of animal or synthetic origin.
  • the roller 3 is located at the rear of the iron 1, the axis 5 of the roller 3, inside the iron, being substantially parallel to the plane (p) defined by the outer face of the sole 2 and perpendicular to the direction longitudinal of iron 1.
  • the roller 3 is arranged so that the bristles 4 in contact with the linen are placed in the vicinity of the plane P defined by the outer face of the soleplate 2 of the iron.
  • the bristles 4 are fixed to the roller 3 by one of their ends 6 towards the inside of the iron below the plane P, that is to say above the plane P in FIG. 1.
  • the bristles 4 in contact with the linen extend substantially transversely to the plane P, their ends 6 and 7 being placed respectively on either side of the plane P.
  • the roller 4 is mounted in rotation about its axis 5.
  • the iron 1 comprises a motor 10 for rotating the roller 4 in the direction indicated by the arrow 15, namely the direction of progression of the iron on the laundry.
  • the rotary movement produced by the motor around the axis 11 is transmitted to the roller 3 via the belt 12 possibly notched.
  • the handle 13 of the iron has a key 14 which is the motor control device 10, connected to the latter.
  • the roller 3 is mounted in "freewheel" so that when the motor 10 is stopped, the roller 3 is free to rotate around its axis 5 in the direction of the arrow 15.
  • the assembly constituted by the roller 3, the belt 12 and the motor 10 is integral with a support (not shown) internal to the iron 1, movable in vertical translation relative to the latter by means of conventional adapted means.
  • the vertical translation of said support is controlled by the key 16 on the handle 13.
  • This translation is such that it allows the roller 3 to be retracted towards the inside of the iron.
  • the retracted position 19 of the roller 3 is shown in dashed lines in FIG. 1. In this position, the bristles 4 are placed towards the inside of the iron entirely below the plane P defined by the outer face of the sole 2.
  • a version of the invention may be produced in which only the roller 3 is movable and retractable in translation, the motor 10 remaining fixed in the iron 1.
  • the soleplate 2 of the iron 1 rests on the linen 17 placed on the ironing board 18.
  • roller 3 is free to rotate and turns as the iron 1 advances on the laundry 17.
  • the bristles 4 slightly penetrate the surface of the fabric 17 in a punctual manner at multiple locations until the resistance opposed by the fabric is sufficient for them to bend.
  • roller 3 thus produces a brushing of the laundry 17 much more energetic than when using the roller 3 in freewheeling mode.
  • the roller 3 is devoid of bristles but is coated on its periphery with a velvet or a felt fabric constituting the brushing fibers 4.
  • the diameter of the roller 3 and / or the position of the axis 5 will be adapted so that the surface of the felt or velvet is at the level of the plane P, possibly very slightly beyond this plane P towards the outside of the iron.
  • the fibers of the surface of a pile have a common orientation. This orientation, which produces the characteristic reflections of velvet, is sensitive to touch. In one direction the velvet is slippery, in the other direction it offers resistance. We will therefore take care to arrange the pile in the direction producing resistance on the linen when the iron advances.
  • FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the invention in which the same elements have the same references.
  • the member carrying the linen brushing fibers is a shoe 20.
  • the shoe 20 has a general shape of a rectangular parallelepiped. It is placed at the rear of the iron 1, in the vicinity of the plane P defined by the external face of the sole 2 of the iron.
  • the shoe 20 comprises a flat surface 21 lying substantially in the plane P.
  • the flat surface 21 has the brushing fibers and for this purpose is covered with velvet or felt constituting the brushing fibers.
  • the velvet will be arranged in the direction where the fibers of its surface offer resistance on the linen when advancing the iron.
  • the velvet or felt is placed in contact with the linen as an extension of the plane P.
  • the shoe 20 is articulated to the iron 1 by means of the hinge 22. Conventionally, this comprises a return spring. Thus, the shoe 20 is mounted resiliently relative to the iron.
  • the flat surface 21 extends substantially towards the outside of the iron, beyond the plane P.
  • the shoe 20 When the iron is placed on the linen in the ironing position, the shoe 20, shown in solid lines, is parallel to the plane P and, thanks to the return spring, presses lightly on the linen.
  • the iron 1 can include means for retaining the shoe 20 above the plane (P) so as to be able to prevent the shoe from returning to the relaxed position.
  • These means can in particular comprise a suitable ball lock (30) acting for example on the articulated end of the pad 20 as shown in FIG. 3.
  • the shoe (20) can be retracted and locked above the plane P in the position (31) shown in dotted lines in FIG. 3.
  • the skate may include rigid bristles.
  • the fibers may be of various types and of origin. For example, they can be woven, agglomerated, or arranged in an orderly fashion. Their rigidity and length will vary. They can also be arranged according to different configurations: for example along a tangent to the roller or according to a constant angle intermediate between the radial position and the tangent so as to give a preferential working direction and that in the other direction the fibers lie.
  • the delustering device may have several rollers and / or interchangeable pads with different fiber stiffnesses adapted to the ironed fabrics.
