Definitions

  • the invention relates to a steam iron comprising a housing in which a water tank is removably mounted, which comprises means for locking the tank in the housing, a filling opening in its upper part, and an outlet opening. of water which is practiced in its lower part, a distribution chamber in which is mounted a drip feed device and the opening of which is intended to communicate with the water outlet orifice by a conduit, two valves respectively equipping the opening of the distribution chamber and the water outlet orifice, and two reciprocal actuation means of said valves adapted to open said valves when the tank is locked in the housing.
  • the object of the invention is to remedy the aforementioned drawbacks by implementing a connection between the distribution chamber and the removable tank which is both simple and economical to produce and which ensures complete sealing during 1 * extraction of the removable reservoir in the iron or during the positioning of said reservoir.
  • one of the valves comprising a movable valve and a fixed seat
  • the other valve comprises a fixed valve and a movable seat
  • the two reciprocal actuation means are adapted to come into engagement when the reservoir is locked in the housing, on the one hand, with the movable valve and, on the other hand, with the movable seat.
  • the valve comprising the fixed valve and the movable seat, comprises a movable mounted sleeve having an annular shoulder forming the movable seat for the fixed valve and capable of occupying two positions for which either the sleeve occupies a first position in which the reservoir is detached from the housing and the movable seat is in contact with the fixed valve to form a tight seal, or the sleeve occupies a second position in which the reservoir is fixed by the locking means and the valve fixed opens the movable valve so that the water from the tank • flows freely in the distribution chamber.
  • the number of parts 3 used to ensure, on the one hand, the tightness and, on the other hand, the connection between the distribution chamber and the removable tank is reduced to one, which, on the one hand, simplifies assembly and the manufacture of iron and, on the other hand, decreases the cost price of said iron.
  • FIG. 1 is a partial sectional view of a steam iron according to 1 • invention
  • FIG. 2 is a cutaway view of the enlarged lower portion of the steam iron according to the invention and in which the removable reservoir is not positioned entirely in the housing of the iron;
  • FIG. 3 is a cutaway view of the enlarged lower part of the iron according to the invention and in which the removable tank is locked in the housing.
  • a steam iron comprises a housing 1 provided with a handle 2, a heating sole 3 of known type, powered by an electrical cable 4, a heat shield 5 separating the sole 3 of the housing 1 and receiving a distribution chamber 6, and a water tank 7 removably mounted in said housing 1.
  • the water tank 7 comprises locking means 8 of said tank 7 in the housing 1, a filling orifice 9 formed in the upper part 10 of the reservoir 7 and a water outlet orifice 11 which is formed in its lower part 12.
  • the locking means 8 comprise flexible hooks 13 integral with the walls of the tank 7 which engage in not shown notches 4 made in the housing 1 so that the reservoir 7 is securely locked in the housing 1 of the iron when it is correctly positioned.
  • the hooks 13 are capable of being detached from the casing 1 of the iron by actuation on operating keys 14 so ⁇ the hooks 13.
  • the distribution chamber 6 integral for example with the heat shield 5 and in which a drip feed device 15 is mounted has an opening 16 intended to communicate with the water outlet orifice 11 via a conduit 17.
  • the steam iron further comprises two valves 18 and 19 respectively equipping the opening 16 of the distribution chamber 6 and the water outlet orifice 11, and two reciprocal actuation means 20 and 21 of the said valves 18 and 19 adapted to open said valves 18 and 19 when the reservoir 7 is locked in the housing 1.
  • one of the valves 18 comprising a movable valve 22 and a fixed seat 23, the other valve 19 comprises a fixed valve 24 and a movable seat 25, and the two actuation means 20 and 21 are adapted coming into engagement, when the reservoir 7 is locked in the housing 1, on the one hand, with the movable valve 22 and, on the other hand, with the movable seat 25.
  • the valve 19, comprising the fixed valve 24 and the movable seat 25, comprises a movable sleeve 26 having an annular shoulder 27 forming the movable seat 25 for the fixed valve 24 and capable of occupying two positions for which either the sleeve 26 occupies a first position in which the water tank is detached from the housing 1 and the movable seat 25 is in contact with the fixed valve 24 to form a tight seal, or the sleeve occupies a second position in which the tank 7 is fixed by the means of 5 lock 8 and the fixed valve 24 opens the movable valve 25 so that the water from the reservoir 7 flows freely in the distribution chamber 6.
  • the valve 19 equips the opening 16 of the distribution chamber 6 and the valve 18 equips the water outlet orifice 11 of the reservoir 7.
  • the valve 19 further comprises an annular base 28 fitted into the opening 16 up to a stop 29 made on the base 28 and a small column 30 which is partially fixed on the base 28 and which is integral with the fixed valve 24.
  • the sleeve 26 is formed of a flexible piece in an elastomer body, for example silicone.
  • the sleeve 26 fits over the opening 16 of the distribution chamber 6 to another stop 31 made on the periphery 32 of the opening 16. In this way, the sleeve 26 covers the valve 19 and occupies, d on the one hand, a deployed position of rest in the first position and, on the other hand, a retracted position in the second position.
  • the actuating means 20 and 21 comprise, on the one hand, a finger 33 fixed on the fixed valve 24, directed towards the outside, and intended to open the movable valve 22 in the deployed position of rest and, on the other hand a chute 34 secured to the fixed seat 23, the end 35 of which is adapted to come into contact with the free end 17 'in the retracted position.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 where the same references designate the same elements.
  • the sleeve 26 occupies a deployed rest position corresponding to the first position. In this first position, the end 17 ′ of the sleeve 26 is in contact with the fixed valve 24 by the annular shoulder
  • the seal 37 no longer bears against the internal part of the water outlet orifice 11 of the reservoir 7, the water from the reservoir 7 flows through the water outlet orifice there , enters the sleeve 26 through the circulation space 36 and opens into the opening 16 of the distribution chamber 6.
  • the sleeve 26 thus plays the role of the conduit 17.
  • the sleeve 26 alone ensures, on the one hand, the closure of the distribution chamber 6 when the reservoir removable 7 is not fitted into the housing 1 of the iron and, on the other hand, the sealing of the conduit 17 when the reservoir 7 is locked in the housing of the iron.
