Definitions

  • the present invention relates to steam irons with reservoir integrated liquid and more particularly the liquid filling orifice of the iron.
  • Steam irons generally have a heated soleplate electrically, a tank of water to vaporize flowing via a drip system drop to a vaporization chamber, and an envelope comprising a handle for handling the iron and a hole for filling the tank.
  • certain irons such as those described in patents FR2632331 and FR2705975 can include several tanks of liquids of a natural or different uses.
  • the irons in which the filling orifice consists of a shape of the funnel-shaped envelope, connected to the reservoir by a tube of which elbows and length do not allow water to easily come out of the iron.
  • a second tube connects the reservoir to a passage formed at close to the funnel to serve as a vent to the tank air when filling.
  • this system has the disadvantage of slowing down the filling and require assembly of tubing. These can be replaced by shorter baffles.
  • the molding of a single piece comprising the baffles, air duct, and funnel shape, as described by example in patent DE2605443 allows economical assembly, but the baffles slow down filling, which becomes difficult and their effectiveness is limited.
  • the subject of the following invention is a rapid filling orifice which overcomes these disadvantages, easy to manufacture and install.
  • a filling orifice iron tank consisting of an orifice body and a piece of closure, the orifice body comprising at least one overmolded seal intended to sealing between this body and the closure part.
  • a seal prevents water from beading around the closure part, for example following an imprecise adjustment with the body or following deformations intervening during the aging of the device.
  • Overmolding on the body allows automatic assembly in large series of very high reliability no leakage can occur between the seal and the body and no defect in fitting of the seal cannot occur.
  • a first lip of the seal surrounds the filling orifice.
  • This first lip ensures the main seal of the body with the piece of closing.
  • a second lip of the seal or another lip of a second seal overmolded guides the closing part during opening and closing of the orifice.
  • This second seal lip provides both additional sealing and better guidance of the closing part.
  • the closing piece slides with a gentle friction on the joint overmolded during opening and closing of the orifice.
  • the closing part is retracted by sliding along the body of the orifice, rubbing lightly on the joint lip (s).
  • the gentle friction allows the closure piece to keep itself in place more particularly in the closed or open position.
  • the overmolded joints are securely fixed without play to the body of the orifice. They are not trained or rolled during these opening or closing operations, which ensures the smoothness of the displacement.
  • the orifice body comprises a vent pipe from the reservoir.
  • This arrangement allows rapid filling of the filling opening. can be fully occupied by the liquid flow without being hindered by the outlet tank air.
  • the orifice body also comprises an overmolded seal intended to seal between this body and the tank.
  • the orifice body can be a different part from the envelope of the iron.
  • Another seal overmolded on the orifice body seals between the orifice body and the iron envelope or part of the iron envelope.
  • Useful overmolded seals ensuring the tightness of the body with the tank, with the closing part, and with the iron envelope are composed of the same material and are connected by one or more tabs of the same material.
  • the connecting tongue provides additional fixing of the seal on the body orifice and allows, by the continuity it generates, to inject the different joints at a single injection point and a single molding phase. The making is made easier by this design.
  • the (or) joint (s) overmolded (s) is (are) in a thermo material elastomeric plastic (TPE).
  • TPE thermo material elastomeric plastic
  • Thermoplasticity is an essential quality for overmolding and adhesion on the support.
  • the hardness of the elastomeric thermoplastic material is included between 40 and 55 Shore A.
  • the body of the orifice is made of ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene).
  • thermoplastic materials adhere well to this material which also has a good aesthetic presentation.
  • Figure 1 is a partial section through a longitudinal plane of the front of an iron vapor where is located its filling port with water to vaporize.
  • Figure 2 is a detail of the previous longitudinal section in the area including the hole.
  • Figure 3 is a top view of the orifice body.
  • Figure 4 is a section of the orifice by a plane perpendicular to the plane longitudinal of the iron and comprising the axis of the filling orifice.
  • the iron ironing includes a sub-assembly 1 including the sole and a heating body with a vaporization chamber, a water tank 2 composed of two parts 21 and 22 assemblies and a drip device 3 to control the flow of water to spray from tank 2 to the spray chamber.
  • a sub-assembly 1 including the sole and a heating body with a vaporization chamber, a water tank 2 composed of two parts 21 and 22 assemblies and a drip device 3 to control the flow of water to spray from tank 2 to the spray chamber.
  • an opening 23 in the water tank 2 allows filling at a high point both when the iron is on its heel and when it is in the position of ironing.
  • the iron also has an envelope constituting the handle. This envelope has a main part 4.
  • the envelope comprises a part 41 having a passage 42 in correspondence with the opening 23.
  • the hydraulic connection between the passage 42 of the casing part 41 and the opening 23 of the reservoir 2 is produced (see FIGS. 1 and 2) by a body orifice 5 preferably in ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) whose shape funneling facilitates the flow of water.
  • a body orifice 5 preferably in ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) whose shape funneling facilitates the flow of water.
  • said orifice body includes a vent duct 58 allowing air to escape from the tank 2 during filling.
  • This conduit 58 corresponds with a vent passage 231 of the opening 23 of the reservoir 2.
  • a sliding closure part 6 between the casing part 41 and the body orifice 5 allows the tight opening or closing of the passage 42.
  • the hydraulic connection is sealed by seals in thermoplastic elastomer overmolded on the orifice body 5.
  • a first seal 51 visible from the front in FIG. 3 is molded onto the orifice body 5 around the passage 42. This seal provides sealing between the closure part 6 and the body 5.
  • This seal 52 is molded over the area or circulates the closing part 6, usefully occupying the entire width of this zoned.
  • This seal 52 is arranged so as to maintain a support against the workpiece closure 6 when the latter at the opening of the orifice leaves the portion of the seal 51 which surrounds the hole.
  • the closing part 6 held by the casing part 41 as can be see it in figure 4 rubs on the joint 51-52 during its movements.
  • a second seal 53 of the same material as the previous one is molded onto the orifice body 5 around the opening 23 of the reservoir 2. This seal ensures the seal between the reservoir 2 and the orifice body 5.
  • Joints 51-52 and 53 are united by a tongue 55 of the same material.
  • a third seal 54 of the same material as the previous ones is overmolded at the periphery of the orifice body 5 and provides sealing between the envelope part 41 and the body 5.
  • a tongue 56 of the same material extending the tongue 55 connect this joint to the previous ones.
  • the connecting tabs 55-56 between the joints 51-54 allow overmolding of all joints in a single injection phase. In addition, they strengthen the connection of the seals with the orifice body 5.
  • the ABS material chosen to make the orifice body promotes bonding with the elastomer of the seals.
  • the body 5 When filling the tank 2, the body 5 guides the flow of water to the tank 2, without leakage occurring inside the iron as a result of the presence of the seal 54 between the body 5 and the casing element 41 and of the seal 53 between the body 5 and the tank 2.
  • These flexible elastomer seals fit to the rooms they seal, without these being necessarily large precision.
  • the flow of water can fill the orifice, the air expelled from the tank then returns to the atmosphere via the passage 231 of the tank and the vent pipe 58 of the body orifice 5, which allows easy and quick filling.
