Description

PRESSE A REPASSER IRONING PRESS
La présente invention se rapporte à une presse à repasser, comprenant un socle portant un plateau de repassage, une jeannette et un bras articulé de manoeuvre d'une plaque chauffante, mobile entre au moins deux positions, dans l'une desquelles ladite plaque chauffante est pressée contre ledit plateau de repassage ou ladite jeannette, ce plateau de repassage et cette jeannette étant montés sur ledit socle de manière à permettre leur déplacement mutuel en alternance d'une position de travail à une position escamotée et vice versa.The present invention relates to an ironing press, comprising a base carrying an ironing plate, a jacket and an articulated arm for operating a heating plate, movable between at least two positions, in one of which said heating plate is pressed against said ironing board or said jean, this ironing board and this jean being mounted on said base so as to allow their mutual displacement alternately from a working position to a retracted position and vice versa.
Une presse à repasser de ce type a déjà été décrite dans le CH-A-669 624. Dans cette presse à repasser, la jean- nette est articulée au socle par un parallélogramme déforma- ble, tandis que le plateau de repassage comporte deux paires de galets en prise avec des rainures de guidage ménagées dans deux parois verticales parallèles du socle. Cette disposition permet de déplacer alternativement la jeannette et le plateau de repassage d'une position escamotée à une position de travail et vice versa. Un mécanisme de blocage sert à verrouiller la jeannette ou le plateau de repassage dans leur position de travail respective.An ironing press of this type has already been described in CH-A-669 624. In this ironing press, the jeans are articulated to the base by a deformable parallelogram, while the ironing board has two pairs rollers engaged with guide grooves formed in two parallel vertical walls of the base. This arrangement allows the jeannette and the ironing board to be moved alternately from a retracted position to a working position and vice versa. A locking mechanism is used to lock the jeannette or the ironing board in their respective working position.
Lorsque l'utilisateur veut changer le support de repas- sage pour passer de la jeannette au plateau de repassage et vice versa, il doit débloquer le mécanisme de verrouillage, déplacer le support de repassage utilisé de sa position de travail à sa position escamotée et enfin déplacer l'autre support de repassage de sa position escamotée à sa position de travail. Même si ces opérations peuvent être effectuées rapidement, elle doivent être exécutées les unes après les autres ce qui nécessite un certain temps. Au cours d'une séance de repassage, elles sont appelées à se reproduire fréquemment, ce qui finit par constituer une perte de temps non négligeable. Du point de vue de la fabrication, le mécanisme de cette presse à repasser avec son système de verrouillage, comporte passablement de pièces à assembler ce qui, outre la fabrication de ces pièces augmente le coût du montage.When the user wants to change the ironing support to move from the jeannette to the ironing board and vice versa, he must unlock the locking mechanism, move the ironing support used from his working position to its retracted position and finally move the other ironing support from its retracted position to its working position. Even if these operations can be carried out quickly, they must be carried out one after the others which requires some time. During an ironing session, they are called upon to reproduce frequently, which ends up constituting a significant loss of time. From the manufacturing point of view, the mechanism of this ironing press with its locking system, has a fair number of parts to be assembled which, in addition to the manufacture of these parts, increases the cost of assembly.
Le but de la présente invention est de remédier, au moins en partie aux inconvénients susmentionnés.The object of the present invention is to remedy, at least in part, the aforementioned drawbacks.
A cet effet, cette invention a pour objet une presse à repasser du type susmentionné, caractérisée en ce que ledit plateau de repassage et ladite jeannette sont chacun articulés, au moins indirectement, audit socle et sont reliés l'un à 1 ' autre par un organe de liaison destiné à établir une liaison cinématique entre eux.To this end, the subject of this invention is an ironing press of the aforementioned type, characterized in that said ironing board and said jean are each articulated, at least indirectly, to said base and are connected to one another by a connecting member intended to establish a kinematic connection between them.
Cette invention a également pour objet une presse à repasser comprenant les caractéristiques énumérées dans les revendication dépendantes . Les avantages de la presse à repasser selon cette invention sont premièrement d'ordre pratique, puisque l'utilisation de cette presse est simplifiée, le changement de support de repassage pouvant être obtenu d'une main et en une seule opération en faisant pivoter la jeannette autour de son axe de pivotement, aussi bien pour l'escamoter que pour l'amener en position de travail. Or, la jeannette étant par définition plus étroite que le plateau de repassage, il est facile de la saisir d'une main et de la faire basculer ensuite entre ses deux positions. L'autre avantage est de permettre de réduire sensiblement le nombre de pièces et donc le coût aussi bien de la fabrication que du montage. Or, comme on a pu le constater des explications qui précèdent, la simplification de la presse permet en même temps de faciliter son utilisation, sans nuire à la fiabilité du produit, au contraire, un appa- reil simple étant en principe moins susceptible de subir des détériorations en cours d'usage.This invention also relates to an ironing press comprising the features listed in the dependent claims. The advantages of the ironing press according to this invention are firstly of a practical nature, since the use of this press is simplified, the change of ironing support being obtainable with one hand and in a single operation by rotating the jeannette around its pivot axis, both to retract it and to bring it into the working position. However, the jeannette being by definition narrower than the ironing board, it is easy to grasp it with one hand and then switch it between its two positions. The other advantage is to allow a significant reduction in the number of parts and therefore the cost of the manufacturing than mounting. However, as we have seen from the foregoing explanations, the simplification of the press allows at the same time to facilitate its use, without harming the reliability of the product, on the contrary, a simple apparatus being in principle less likely to undergo deterioration during use.
D'autres avantages apparaîtront dans la description qui va suivre, faite en relation avec le dessin annexé qui illustre, schématiquement et à titre d'exemple, une forme d'exécution de la presse à repasser objet de la présente invention.Other advantages will appear in the description which follows, given in relation to the appended drawing which illustrates, schematically and by way of example, an embodiment of the ironing press which is the subject of the present invention.
La figure 1 est une vue en élévation latérale de cette forme d'exécution dans une première position de travail; la figure 2 est une vue en élévation latérale de la presse ouverte, pendant le changement de support de repassage; la figure 3 est une vue en élévation latérale de cette presse dans sa seconde position de travail; la figure 4 est une vue en élévation latérale semblable à la figure 3, mais montrant la presse ouverte; la figure 5 est une vue partiellement en coupe selon la ligne V-V de la figure 4.Figure 1 is a side elevational view of this embodiment in a first working position; Figure 2 is a side elevational view of the open press, during the change of ironing support; Figure 3 is a side elevational view of this press in its second working position; Figure 4 is a side elevation view similar to Figure 3 but showing the press open; FIG. 5 is a view partially in section along the line V-V of FIG. 4.
La presse à repasser illustrée comporte un socle 1 solidaire d'un montant 2 auquel un bras 3 est articulé. Ce bras porte une plaque chauffante 4 ainsi qu'une poignée de manoeuvre 5 servant à verrouiller la plaque chauffante contre un des supports de repassage, plateau de repassage 6 ou jeannette 7, en maintenant une certaine pression entre eux, afin de repasser la pièce de tissu placée sur le plateau de repassage 6 ou sur la jeannette 7. Etant donné que la présente invention se rapporte au mécanisme permettant de changer de support de repassage au cours d'une séance de repassage et que le mécanisme d'ac- tionnement du bras est de type connu et n'est pas nécessaire à la compréhension de la présente invention, on ne rentrera pas d'avantage dans le détail en ce qui concerne la structure de ce bras 3 et son mode d' actionnement .The illustrated ironing press comprises a base 1 secured to an upright 2 to which an arm 3 is articulated. This arm carries a heating plate 4 as well as an operating handle 5 serving to lock the heating plate against one of the ironing supports, ironing plate 6 or jeannette 7, while maintaining a certain pressure between them, in order to iron the piece of fabric placed on the ironing board 6 or on the jean 7. Given that the present invention relates to the mechanism for changing the ironing support during an ironing session and that the arm actuation mechanism is of known type and is not necessary for understanding the present invention, we will not go into further detail with regard to the structure of this arm 3 and its mode of actuation.
Comme on peut le voir en particulier sur les figures 2 et 5, un support 8 est fixé sur le socle 1. Ce support 8 est formé par une plaque de base 8a de forme générale rectangulaire présentant de chaque côté deux bords latétaux 8b, 8c, repliés verticalement vers le haut à partir de cette plaque de base 8a. Les extrémités supérieures horizontales de ces bords latéraux verticaux 8b, 8c sont elles-mêmes repliées de 90° vers l'extérieur, pour former des éléments de butées 8e et d'accrochage 8d s 'étendant horizontalement et dont le rôle sera expliqué par la suite.As can be seen in particular in FIGS. 2 and 5, a support 8 is fixed to the base 1. This support 8 is formed by a base plate 8a of generally rectangular shape having on each side two lateral edges 8b, 8c, folded vertically upwards from this base plate 8a. The horizontal upper ends of these vertical lateral edges 8b, 8c are themselves folded 90 ° outwards, to form stop elements 8e and hooking 8d extending horizontally and whose role will be explained later .
La face inférieure du plateau de repassage 6 porte une plaque à bords latéraux repliés vers le bas à angle droit 9. Les bords latéraux verticaux 8b, 8c du support 8 et ceux de la plaque 9 sont percés d'ouvertures, alignées par paires entre bords opposés, parallèlement aux plans respectifs des plaques 8a et 9, pour l'articulation de deux faces parallèles 10, 11 d'un parallélépipède rectangle déformable, constitués de pièces en matière plastique injectée, dont les deux autres faces sont constituées respectivement, par la plaque rectangulaire 8a du support 8 solidaire du socle et par la plaque 9 solidaire du plateau de repassage 6. Chaque bord latéral des faces 10 et 11 présente un décrochement, délimité par un plan oblique 10a, respectivement 11a (fig. 2 à 4) faisant saillie à l'extérieur des bords repliés 8b, 8c du support (fig.5). Comme on peut le remarquer sur la figure 1 , ces décrochements saillants délimités par ces plans obliques servent à s ' appuyer sur les éléments de butée 8e des bords repliés 8b et 8c et à assurer le positionnement et 1 ' appui du plateau de repassage 6.The underside of the ironing board 6 carries a plate with lateral edges folded down at a right angle 9. The vertical lateral edges 8b, 8c of the support 8 and those of the plate 9 are pierced with openings, aligned in pairs between edges opposite, parallel to the respective planes of the plates 8a and 9, for the articulation of two parallel faces 10, 11 of a deformable rectangular parallelepiped, consisting of pieces of injected plastic material, the two other faces of which are constituted respectively by the plate rectangular 8a of the support 8 secured to the base and by the plate 9 secured to the ironing board 6. Each lateral edge of the faces 10 and 11 has a recess, delimited by an oblique plane 10a, respectively 11a (fig. 2 to 4) projecting outside the folded edges 8b, 8c of the support (fig. 5). As can be seen in FIG. 1, these projecting projections delimited by these oblique planes serve to lean on the abutment elements 8e of the folded edges 8b and 8c and to ensure the positioning and the support of the ironing board 6.
La jeannette 7 est fixée sur une embase 12 en matière plastique injectée. Cette embase 12 est montée pivotante autour d'un axe de pivotement 13 dont les extrémités pénètrent dans deux ouvertures opposées traversant les deux bords ver- ticaux 8c du support 8. Cette embase 12 est encore articulée par un second axe 14, parallèle à l'axe 13, à une extrémité d'un bras de transmission 15, dont l'autre extrémité est articulée autour d'un axe 16, parallèle aux axes 13 et 14, situé le long du plan 11 du parallélépipède déformable. Grâce à ce bras de transmission 15, une liaison cinématique est établie entre le plateau de repassage 6 et la jeannette 7.The jean 7 is fixed on a base 12 of injected plastic. This base 12 is pivotally mounted about a pivot axis 13, the ends of which penetrate into two opposite openings passing through the two vertical edges 8c of the support 8. This base 12 is also articulated by a second axis 14, parallel to the axis 13, at one end of a transmission arm 15, the other end of which is articulated around an axis 16, parallel to axes 13 and 14, located along the plane 11 of the deformable parallelepiped. Thanks to this transmission arm 15, a kinematic connection is established between the ironing plate 6 and the jeannette 7.
L'embase 12 de la jeannette 7 est venue d'injection avec deux éléments d'accrochage 12a (fig.5). Comme on le voit sur cette figure, ces éléments d'accrochage font saillie dans deux parties évidées 12b de l'embase 12 destinées à recevoir chacune un des bords verticaux 8c du support 8. La partie de l'élément d'accrochage 12a qui pénètre dans la partie évidée 12b comporte deux plans inclinés en sens contraire. En s 'engageant dans ces evidements 12b de l'embase 12, les rebords 8d, formés aux extrémités supérieures des bords verticaux 8c, rencontrent un des plans inclinés de l'organe d'accrochage 12a, de sorte que la pression exercée par la rotation, communiquée manuellement à la jeannette 7 autour de son axe de pivotement 13, provoque l' écartement de l'organe d'accrochage 12a. Lorsque le rebord 8d bute contre le fond de 1 ' évidement 12b du support 12, il a dépassé 1 ' a- rête entre les plans inclinés de l'organe d'accrochage 12a et se trouve en contact avec 1 ' autre plan incliné qui tend ainsi à retenir ce rebord 8d dans 1 ' évidement 12b. Lors- qu'une force est exercée sur la jeannette 7 pour la faire tourner dans le sens de la flèche F2 (fig.4) et la dégager du rebord 8d, la face inclinée de l'organe d'accrochage 12a retenant l'embase 12 sur ce rebord 8d, permet d'écarter cet élément d'accrochage 12a et de dégager l'embase 12 de ce rebord 8d.The base 12 of the jeannette 7 is injected with two attachment elements 12a (fig.5). As can be seen in this figure, these hooking elements protrude into two recessed parts 12b of the base 12 each intended to receive one of the vertical edges 8c of the support 8. The part of the hooking element 12a which penetrates in the hollowed out part 12b has two planes inclined in opposite directions. By engaging in these recesses 12b of the base 12, the flanges 8d, formed at the upper ends of the vertical edges 8c, meet one of the inclined planes of the fastening member 12a, so that the pressure exerted by the rotation , communicated manually to the jacket 7 around its pivot axis 13, causes the spacing of the attachment member 12a. When the 8d ledge abuts the bottom of one recess 12b of the support 12, it has passed the edge between the inclined planes of the fastening member 12a and is in contact with the other inclined plane which thus tends to retain this flange 8d in the recess 12b. When a force is exerted on the jean 7 to rotate it in the direction of the arrow F2 (fig. 4) and disengage it from the flange 8d, the inclined face of the fastening member 12a retaining the base 12 on this rim 8d, allows this hooking element 12a to be moved aside and the base 12 to be released from this rim 8d.
Etant donné que l'embase 12 de la jeannette est reliée au parallélépipède déformable 8, 9, 10, 11, sur lequel est fixé le plateau de repassage 6, par le bras de transmission 15, le déplacement de la jeannette 7 autour de son axe de pivotement 13 se traduit par une déformation de ce parallélépipède déformable 8, 9, 10, 11, les trois faces 9, 10, 11, se déplaçant par rapport à la quatrième face 8a solidaire du socle 1.Since the base 12 of the jeannette is connected to the deformable parallelepiped 8, 9, 10, 11, on which the ironing plate 6 is fixed, by the transmission arm 15, the movement of the jeannette 7 about its axis pivoting 13 results in a deformation of this deformable parallelepiped 8, 9, 10, 11, the three faces 9, 10, 11, moving relative to the fourth face 8a integral with the base 1.
La figure 1 illustre la presse à repasser en position fermée, c'est-à-dire, lorsque la plaque chauffante 4 est appliquée contre le plateau de repassage 6 par le bras 3. Dans cette position, les plans obliques 10a, 11a délimitant les décrochements des faces 10, respectivement 11 du parallélépipède déformable qui font saillie latéralement à l'ex- térieur des bords verticaux 8c du support 8, reposent sur les butées horizontales 8e repliées vers l'extérieur ménagées sur les côtés latéraux verticaux 8c. Ces butées 8e, au nombre de quatre, assurent une position stable du plateau de repassage 6. La figure 2 montre la presse à repasser ouverte pendant le changement de surface de repassage. On voit en effet que la jeannette 7 est déplacée angulairement autour de son axe de pivotement 13 dans le sens de la flèche F. Ce mouvement de la jeannette 7 est transmis au parallélépipède déformable 8, 9, 10, 11, par le bras de transmission 15, de sorte que le plateau de repassage 6, solidaire de la face 9 de ce parallélépipède déformable, se déplace en translation dans le sens de la flèche F1.FIG. 1 illustrates the ironing press in the closed position, that is to say when the heating plate 4 is applied against the ironing plate 6 by the arm 3. In this position, the oblique planes 10a, 11a delimiting the recesses of the faces 10, respectively 11 of the deformable parallelepiped which protrude laterally outside the vertical edges 8c of the support 8, rest on the horizontal stops 8e folded outwards formed on the vertical lateral sides 8c. These stops 8e, four in number, ensure a stable position of the ironing plate 6. Figure 2 shows the ironing press open during the change of ironing surface. We can see that the jacket 7 is angularly displaced around its pivot axis 13 in the direction of arrow F. This movement of the jacket 7 is transmitted to the deformable parallelepiped 8, 9, 10, 11, by the transmission arm 15, so that the ironing plate 6, integral with the face 9 of this deformable parallelepiped, moves in translation in the direction of the arrow F1.
Les figures 3 et 4 illustrent la fin de ce déplacement, une fois avec la presse à repasser ouverte, une autre fois avec cette presse fermée. En fin de course, les éléments d'accrochage 12a de l'embase 12 de la jeannette 7 rencontrent les rebords 8d du support 8 sur lesquels cette embase se croche, comme expliqué précédemment, assurant une position fixe stable de la jeannette 7 en position de travail. Comme on peut le voir en particulier sur la figure 2, les rebords 8d ont une certaine longueur, aptes à assurer le positionnement horizontal stable de la jeannette en position de travail. Comme on peut le constater, aussi bien les éléments d'accrochage 12a que les rebords 8d sont venus d'une pièce avec l'embase 12, respectivement avec le support 8, de sorte que ce mécanisme de verrouillage ne nécessite aucun organe particulier à manoeuvrer pour l'utilisateur, une pression ou une traction sur la jeannette 7 permettant d'obtenir le verrouillage, respectivement le déverrouillage de l'embase 12 du support 8. Cette simplification d'utilisation se traduit également par une réduction du coût de production.Figures 3 and 4 illustrate the end of this movement, once with the ironing press open, another time with this press closed. At the end of the race, the hooking elements 12a of the base 12 of the jeannette 7 meet the edges 8d of the support 8 on which this base is hooked, as explained above, ensuring a stable fixed position of the jeannette 7 in the position of job. As can be seen in particular in Figure 2, the flanges 8d have a certain length, capable of ensuring the stable horizontal positioning of the jacket in the working position. As can be seen, both the hooking elements 12a and the flanges 8d came in one piece with the base 12, respectively with the support 8, so that this locking mechanism does not require any particular member to be operated for the user, pressure or traction on the jean 7 making it possible to obtain the locking, respectively the unlocking of the base 12 of the support 8. This simplification of use also results in a reduction in the production cost.
En effet, comme on 1 ' a mentionné précédemment, l'embase 12 de la jeannette 7 et les faces 10 et 11 du parallélépipè- de déformable sont en plastique injecté ce qui permet d'intégrer le mécanisme de verrouillage à l'embase 12. De plus, le bras de transmission 15 est de préférence aussi en matière plastique injectée, alors que le support 8 est une pièce étampée, de sorte que les opérations d'usinage du peu de pièces existantes sont réduites au minimum. On peut aussi relever la robustesse du mécanisme décrit, garant, avec la simplicité de ce mécanisme, d'un fonctionnement fiable et durable. On peut aussi constater que la simplicité de fonctionnement exclut toute détérioration prévisible due à de possibles fausses manoeuvres. In fact, as previously mentioned, the base 12 of the jeannette 7 and the faces 10 and 11 of the deformable parallelepiped are made of injected plastic, which allows the locking mechanism to be integrated into the base 12. Of more, the transmission arm 15 is preferably also made of injected plastic, while the support 8 is a stamped part, so that the machining operations of the few existing parts are reduced to a minimum. We can also note the robustness of the mechanism described, guaranteeing, with the simplicity of this mechanism, reliable and durable operation. It can also be seen that the simplicity of operation excludes any foreseeable deterioration due to possible false operations.
