Definitions

  • This patent relates to the field of kitchen utensils and fittings and specifically concerns steam irons.
  • Irons for domestic use have a simple structure and shape sufficiently functional according to the volume and time of the ironing work to be done.
  • a system of small ducts and pipes connects the water container to the heating plate so that when the iron has an horizontal position of ironing the water flows gradually and/or drop by drop on said plate and is vaporized, then by means of a second system of ducts the vapor generated is conveyed towards some holes positioned under the plate of ironing. It is possible to interrupt the vapor emission pressing a mechanic push button which closes the pipes of water downflow towards the plate.
  • Ironing machines are well known, they consist of two parts: a plate for ironing with a handle and a base comprising a container with a pump and possibly an heating element for the vaporization in addition to the normal control and safety devices.
  • these ironing machines have a greater ironing autonomy, their ironing plate can be thicker, they allow to control separately the temperature of the plate and the steam jet, the vapor shot has a greater pressure, they can shoot vapor even with the plate in vertical or oblique position and are provided with an handle made of cork which allows a safe grip of the plate.
  • the new steam iron whose structure and shape is similar to the one of the professional irons or to the plate of the ironing machines, is provided with a water container included or joined to the structure of the iron but the water does not flow by gravity to the plate as in the irons for domestic use.
  • the water is taken from the water container and conveyed to the plate by means of a micropump activated by a push button.
  • a counterplate placed on said projections so as to obtain one or more chambers communicating outside by means of holes set on the bottom of the plate, is fixed.
  • the micropump which can be any micropump known as dry pump, is set in the body of the iron and/or near the water container.
  • the push button starting the micropump is placed on the handle, in the same or different positions (central, lateral, under the handle, etc.,) provided for the plate of the ironing machines.
  • the micropump is electrically fed by pressing the push button, said micropump takes the water from the container, conveys it to the slots or chambers included between the lower plate, which is electrically heated, and the counter plate. Then, the water comes out as vapor through the holes. Therefore, it is possible to obtain vapor in any moment and in a short space of time from the starting of the iron (one or two minutes), simply pressing the push button.
  • the vapor shot by the new iron has an higher pressure than that of the domestic irons and said pressure can be compared with that of the professional ironing machines.
  • the handle is covered by a layer of cork or other similar materials as the professional irons.
  • the new iron as described above is not very cumbersome, is handy during the ironing, and can be positioned in a simple way, it can shoot vapor in any time and for any lasting with high pressure and with the possibility of shooting vapor even in oblique position and at low temperature, it can be supplied with water even during the ironing without being switch off or without waiting some minutes for the heat sinking.
  • Figure 1 shows a vertical section of the new iron in which is on view the aluminium ironing plate (1) with a die-cast resistance provided, in the upper side, with projections (1.2) on which an aluminium counter plate (2) is placed and fastened so as to obtain one o more chambers (C) in which the vapor is produced and comes out through the holes (1.1).
  • Figure 1 shows also the handle (6), the water container (3) put on the rear structure (7) of the handle (6) and the micropump.
  • the push button (6.1) starting the micropump (4) is placed on the handle (6), the micropump (4) allows the water, held in a container, to flow through a silicone pipe for high temperature (4.1) to the plate (1) in order to be vaporised and then it comes out, under pressure, through the holes (1.1) which are present in the plate itself.
  • the handle (6) is provided with a cork layer (6.2) which makes the grip handy even after a lengthy use as in all the professional irons.
