Definitions

  • the object of this invention refers to a loadbearing monocoque-body ironing-board having a heated working surface, said working surface being permeable to allow suction from a suction apparatus positioned underneath.
  • Said ironing-board being equipped optionally with accessories such as iron and boiler.
  • This apparatus can be used for industrial ironing as well as for domestic use.
  • ironing-boards have been well known in prior art. Traditionally, those for domestic use, are made up of a simple surface, differently shaped, mainly in shaped metal formerly in wood, to which a support stand is attached on the underside. In more recent solutions a lateral accessory surface support, optionally removable, could be provided, on which the iron can be rested so as not to interfere with the working surface.
  • a typical example of a professional ironing-board could be the association with steam-irons with a separate boiler.
  • the surfaces of the first category are essentially made from a monocoque metal body, tapering at one end, with containing perimetrical edges for the working surface. Over said body, supported inside said perimetrical edges, a separation wire net is used, which in turn bears a heating plate generally in aluminium, with holes all over the surface, and on the side has a connecting power plug for a power derivation box. Said derivation box is plugable to the power network, is complete with thermostat and eventual electric-taps, is engaged externally and just beneath the body as a separate element from the working surface.
  • an optionally removable carrying wire-grid for a boiler can furthermore be provided, with containing edges that define the boiler hole, preventing it from falling.
  • the whole ensemble, ironing-board surface and grid for holding boiler is held up by an underlying stand, with compass type hinge, providing two tube shaped legs whose lower ends open out resulting in the support feet, while the upper ones, a first is firmly propped to said surface by means of transversely passing swivels, and a second opposite to the preceding, is releasable providing a selection of different adjustment degrees, which corresponds to different surface heights.
  • two parallel racks are perpendicularly welded, obtained by cutting an "L" shaped guide.
  • the ends of one leg supports at least one cross element which, in turn must to be engaged in the corresponding teeth.
  • single ring shaped hooks can be provided with the entry from one side in the direction of return, and generally of two or three, to which other different surface heights correspond .
  • a more recent apparatus provides a slightly more complex solution in which, in addition to the heated surface function, a suction function is provided.
  • the latter contrivance seems to be particularly important, in the professional sector, as it avoids the stagnation of the condensate on the surface of the board because of the steam given out when using the iron, therefore maintaining the surface perfectly dry and smooth.
  • the application of a power unit and the relative rotor is provided, fixed according to known techniques, rivets, screws, and so on, immediately beneath the metal body, from which it generously protrudes, and in which, on the bottom of the body a circular opening is made in correspondence to the suction rotor.
  • the aim of this invention is that to avoid the above-mentioned drawbacks.
  • a seat for the anchorage of the static extremity of a compass closable stand leg is obtained at one side, the opposite leg being engaged to a slidably adjustable slide on guides obtained from the body itself; said device consisting essentially in a pulling cable almost parallel to the ironing-board, in which one of the extremities is at one side engaged, if necessary also connected, to a slide on which are keyed the ends of a movable leg; from the other, engaging the extremity of an elastic spring, steadily anchored to the working surface, and in which said eventual connection is effected by a block hinged to the correspondent monocoque body in proximity to the support guides of the slide.
  • Figure 1 represents a plan-view of a monocoque body of the bearing type, particularly for ironing-board.
  • Figure 2 represents a side view and in part, in longitudinal section according to axis A-A, of the monocoque body as in preceding Figure.
  • Figure 3 represents a view taken from the end of the working surface, relatively to the head of the monocoque body.
  • Figure 4 represents a plan-view of an slide associable to a supporting stand leg.
  • Figure 5 represents a frontal view of the slide as in Figure 4 taken in section along axis A-A.
  • Figure 6 represents a view of the slide as in Figures 4 and 5 taken in section along axis B-B.
  • Figures 7 and 8 illustrate respectively, an internal-external view of one side of said slides as in preceding Figures.
  • figure 9 represents a cross-sectional view of the monocoque body taken along axis B-B of Figure 1.
  • Figure 1A represents a side view of an elastic return device of at least one leg, in which are highlighted at least two of the possible positions of an adjustable slide of anchorage of the extremity.
  • Figure 2A represents an enlarged view of one particular of Figure 1; relative to the connection means to the pulling cable.
  • Figure 3A represents a sectional view and a frontal view of the connection means to the pulling cable.
  • Figure 4A represents a perspective view and from below, of a possible variation to the monocoque body for ironing-board; the solution of which excludes the presence of the pulling cable connection.
  • figures 5A and 6A represent respectively, a schematic plan view and a side view of the monocoque body, and one in longitudinal section.
  • a bearing monocoque body (A) particularly for ironing-board, and ironing-board so obtained is made in rigid plastic material, subdivided in two technical zones, respectively a first (b) corresponding to the working surface to be associated, said first zone (b) being made up of a perforated sheet surface with a heating resistance in it, and a second (c) prearranged to support the iron also of the type with boiler.
  • the body (A) provides essentially a perimetrical side (1) that protracts perpendicularly in regard to the base (2) for more than a centimetre, delimiting in this way said first technical area (b) and recalls in a certain way, plan-view, the typical elongated shape of a working surface. Therefore a rather deep and wide housing is obtained, with a base (2) having several levels. This is because at a greater depth, obtained in an intermediate area, a compartment (3) corresponds, that in plant view has the shape of a cochlea, said compartment (3) being able to contain the entire engine group for the suction including the relative fan.
  • a first circular wall (3') always obtained monolithically, able to contain a first part of the engine group, followed by a couple of rectilinear and parallel walls (3''), which delimit an outlet path of the air sucked, closed at the bottom by a grid placed on tilted plane (4).
  • this provides perpendicular supporting feet (5), said feet having their base inserted in it, and which have the function to support at a certain distance, a perforated heat working surface (not shown), that will then be covered by the flannel and respective cloth.
  • a perforated heat working surface not shown
  • a somewhat deep container (7) preferably rectangular in shape, provided with own sides (7') that delimit the area.
  • a niche (9) can additionally be provided, more or less extended, in the case of rectangular shaped type, to accommodate the different commands and eventual electric-taps for the power supply or power net connection.
  • Said container (7) is joined monolithically to the adjacent part (b) by means of a joint connecting surface (7'') to form a single piece, and to which corresponds, in the underlying part, a kind of vault (8) to accommodate an extremity of the fixed leg, as part of a support stand (not shown).
  • the fixing of the latter is obtained by associating to the first shaped base (8) by means of screws, a semicircular countershape, realizing the ring that vices the extremity of said leg, in this case have an "L" shape.
  • part (b) of body (A), corresponding to the underlying side of base (2) in particular, is formed in such a way to obtain, always monolithically, a rack, or a fish bone rack (10) obtained centrally in relation to two lateral guides (11) respectively right and left, parallel and coplanar.
  • On the side of said slide (12), is a large hole, where the L shaped extremity is introduced and there the end ensured of an opposite movable leg, which is part of the ironing-board compass support stand.
  • the bearing monocoque body (A) particularly for ironing-board, and ironing-board so obtained is of the type in rigid plastic material, subdivided in two technical zones, respectively a first zone, corresponding to the working surface to be associated, being made up of a perforated sheet surface in which a resistance is inserted, and eventually a second zone, prearranged for support of the iron and optionally of the type with boiler.
  • Said body (A) is sustained by a couple of legs, that have a cross connection (X shape) or compass, comprise a first static leg having its end hinged steadily to said body, while the second leg is movable being able to be, (the corresponding end) moved longitudinally and allowing the engagement (stopping and locking) along the underlying braking rack means in said body (A).
  • body (A) is formed in such a way to obtain, always monolithically, a rack (1A) obtained centrally in relation to two lateral guides respectively right and left, parallel and coplanar one to the other.
  • Said guides have a "C" shaped section, and can protrude or be enclosed inside of the body.
  • Said guides slidingly engage a box slide (2A) which is provided laterally of engaging means, and is able to be constrained along said guides.
  • a box slide (2A) which is provided laterally of engaging means, and is able to be constrained along said guides.
  • On the side of said slide (2A) at least one seat (3A) is obtained where is introduced and there ensured, the extremity of an "L" shaped opposite movable leg, as part of the support stand.
  • the selective locking, in the position desired, of the slide (2A), to which a different height of the surface corresponds, alternatively obtaining the disengagement from the rack (1A), is ensured by means of an elastic return lever (4A).
  • a head (6'A) of the cable (6A), by means of the interposition of a stop (8) is associated to the extremity (7'A) of a pulling helical spring (7A), whose opposite extremity (7''A) is anchored steadily inside the structure of the monocoque body (A).
  • the other head (6''A) of the cable (6A) is engaged into the slide (2A), supporting an extremity of the movable leg.
  • the slide (2A) when the ironing-board is closed, and therefore with the legs close together, the slide (2A) is in a position (b'A) or at the end of the stroke in respect to the rack (1A). In that case being constrained to the spring (7A), the latter will have a distended configuration. Raising the ironing-board (A), the lack of obstacles at the lower extremity of the movable leg, causes its release, in contrary obtaining the elastic return (if not locked) of the slide (2A), effected by the spring (7A). In that case the slide (2A) may be arranged operatively along the rack (1) in a preferential position (b'').
  • one has a monocoque body (A'A) provided with a linear elasticizing device to elastically hold the slide (2A).
  • the encumbrances may be slightly greater, because firstly the realization of a seat (9A) is provided, able to house a couple of helical springs (10A, 10'A), at one side anchored steadily to the structure of the body. From the other side, the extremities of said springs (10A, 10'A) engage the ends of a couple of cables (11A, 11'A), which protract longitudinally close to the body and parallel one to the other to anchor from the opposite side directly to the slide (2A).
  • the part of body (9A) provides at one side, the realization of a couple of holes (9'A), through which exit the extremities of the cables (11A, 11'A) to be anchored to the corresponding slide (2A), from both sides.
