Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Bügeltischplatte aus Kunststoffund ferner einen Bügeltisch mit einer derartigen Bügeltischplatte.The invention relates to an ironing board of plastic and also an ironing board with such an ironing board.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Lange Zeit hatte man angenommen, dass es zum Erzielen eines guten Bügelergebnisses notwendig sei, die beim Bügeln entstehende bzw. in Form von Wasserdampf freiwerdende Feuchtigkeit - verursacht durch das Dampfbügeleisen und/oder bedingt durch die Restfeuchtigkeit der zu bügelnden Wäsche - möglichst weitgehend entweichen zu lassen. Vor dem Hintergrund dieser Hypothese sind Bügeltische beworben und verkauft worden, bei denen die Bügeltischplatte als Streckmetall- oder Lochplatte ausgeführt ist, welche vom eigentlichen Bügeltischbezug und einer darunter liegenden Polsterung überspannt wird. Eine derartige Lösung ist beispielsweise in der GB-A-1 017 572 gezeigt.For a long time it had been assumed that in order to achieve a good ironing result, it was necessary to let the moisture produced during ironing or in the form of water vapor - caused by the steam iron and / or due to the residual moisture of the laundry to be ironed - as much as possible escape , Against the background of this hypothesis ironing tables have been advertised and sold, in which the ironing board is designed as expanded metal or perforated plate, which is covered by the actual ironing board cover and an underlying upholstery. Such a solution is shown for example in GB-A-1 017 572.

Im Hinblick auf die vorerwähnte Hypothese lehrt die EP-A-1 002 895, dass die angenommene Problematik des Durchfeuchtens in Wirklichkeit gar nicht besteht und dass die Notwendigkeit eines Abzuges also tatsächlich nicht gegeben ist.In view of the above-mentioned hypothesis, EP-A-1 002 895 teaches that the assumed problem of soaking does not really exist in reality and that the need for a deduction therefore does not actually exist.

Es steht außer Zweifel, dass es weder die Hitze des Bügeleisens noch der durch das Bügeleisen auf die Wäsche ausgeübte Druck ist, durch den die Wäsche glatt wird, sondern gezielt eingesetzte Feuchtigkeit in Form von Wasserdampf. Auch von professionellen Wäschereien ist bekannt, dass dort nichts Anderes als sogenannter trockener Wasserdampf auf die Wäsche gegeben wird. So werden beispielsweise auch Hemden und Blusen völlig ohne Druck - unter gleichzeitigem "Aufblasen" - glatt gebügelt.There is no doubt that it is neither the heat of the iron nor the pressure exerted by the iron on the laundry, through which the laundry is smooth, but specifically used moisture in the form of water vapor. Even from professional laundries is known that there is nothing other than so-called dry steam on the laundry. For example, even shirts and blouses are ironed out completely without pressure - with simultaneous "inflation".

Vor diesem Hintergrund hat sich die Bügeltechnik, wie sie in Haushalten angewendet wird, in der letzten Zeit erheblich geändert. Dies auch als Folge der Tatsache, dass der weitaus überwiegende Teil aller verkauften Bügeleisen inzwischen Dampfbügeleisen sind.Against this background, ironing technology, as used in households, has changed considerably in recent times. This is also due to the fact that the vast majority of all irons sold are now steam irons.

Kennzeichnend für die neue Bügeltechnik ist ein Aufbau der Bügeltischplatte, der einen Dampfdurchgang nach unten bewusst und gewollt verhindert, zumindest aber in beträchtlichem Ausmaß behindert. Hieraus ergibt sich nicht nur eine erhebliche Verbesserung der Bügelleistung und Qualität des Bügelergebnisses, sondern darüber hinaus wird auch die Führung und Bewegung des Bügeleisens beträchtlich erleichtert wegen des Aufbaus eines Dampf-/Warmluftpolsters unter dem Bügeleisen, mit der Folge einer erheblichen Verbesserung des Gleitverhaltens des Bügeleisens (sogenannte Luftkissen-Technik).Characteristic of the new ironing technology is a structure of the ironing board, which deliberately and deliberately prevents vapor passage down, but at least impeded to a considerable extent. This results in not only a considerable improvement in the ironing performance and quality of ironing result, but also the guidance and movement of the iron is considerably facilitated because of the structure of a steam / hot air cushion under the iron, with the result of a significant improvement in the sliding behavior of the iron (so-called air cushion technique).

Zusammenfassend kann gesagt werden, dass es zweckmäßig und vorteilhaft ist, Bügeltischplatten dampfundurchlässig auszuführen und zur weiteren Verbesserung der erläuterten Funktionsweise zusätzlich wärmereflektierende Mittel vorzusehen, wie es die EP-A-1 002 895 ebenfalls vorschlägt.In summary it can be stated that it is expedient and advantageous to make ironing board plates vapor-impermeable and to additionally provide heat-reflecting means for further improving the described mode of operation, as proposed by EP-A-1 002 895 as well.

Ein Bügeltisch mit einer Bügeltischplatte, deren Aufbau die beschriebene neue Bügeltechnik ermöglicht, ist in der EP-A-1 002 895 in Form zweier alternativer Lösungen beschrieben. Bei der einen dieser beiden Lösungen ist die Bügeltischplatte als aus Kunststoff bestehende Sandwichplatte ausgeführt, die aus einer Deckplatte, einer Unterplatte und einem dazwischen liegenden Wabensystem besteht. Außerdem sind bei dieser Sandwichplatte noch eine Dampfbremse und eine Polsterung vorgesehen. Es soll auch möglich sein, das erwähnte Wabensystem durch eine Schaumplatte zu ersetzen.An ironing board with an ironing board whose construction enables the new ironing technique described is described in EP-A-1 002 895 in the form of two alternative solutions. In one of these two solutions, the ironing board is designed as a plastic sandwich sandwich consisting of a cover plate, a lower plate and an intermediate honeycomb system. In addition, a vapor barrier and a padding are provided with this sandwich plate. It should also be possible to replace the mentioned honeycomb system by a foam plate.

Wenn auch die vorbeschriebene Bügeltischplatte die Vorteile der neuen Bügeltechnik zu nutzen erlaubt, so ist der Aufbau dieser Bügeltischplatte doch recht aufwendig und ihre Herstellung dementsprechend kostenträchtig.Although the above ironing board allows to take advantage of the new ironing technology, the construction of this ironing board is quite expensive and their production is accordingly costly.

Zum raumsparenden Abstellen oder Lagern eines Bügeltisches ist es ferner seit langem bekannt, das Stützgestell des Bügeltisches zusammenklappbar auszuführen. Beispiele hierfür sind in der DE-U-80 06 001, in der US-A-5 329 710, in der EP-A-0 458 503 und der US-A-2 912 775 gezeigt. Im Fall des Bügeltisches nach der US-A-2 912 775 ist zudem auf der Unterseite der Bügeltischplatte eine kombinierte Führungs- und Lagerplatte für die Schwenk-Lagerung der beiden Standbeine und darüber hinaus für die Verschiebe-Führung des einen der beiden Standbeine vorgesehen.For space-saving parking or storage of an ironing board, it is also known for a long time to perform the support frame of the ironing board folded. Examples of this are shown in DE-U-80 06 001, in US Pat. No. 5,329,710, in EP-A-0 458 503 and in US Pat. No. 2,912,775. In the case of the ironing board according to US-A-2 912 775 a combined guide and bearing plate for the pivotal mounting of the two legs and beyond for the sliding guide of the one of the two legs is also provided on the underside of the ironing board.

Aufgabetask

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine die Nutzung der Vorteile der neuen Bügeltechnik ermöglichende Bügeltischplatte zu schaffen, die in ihrem Aufbau relativ einfach ist und die sich durch geringe Herstellungskosten auszeichnet.Object of the present invention is to provide a use of the advantages of the new ironing technology enabling ironing board, which is relatively simple in construction and which is characterized by low production costs.

Lösungsolution

Diese Aufgabe wird mit einer Bügeltischplatte gelöst, die die Merkmale des kennzeichnendes Teils des Anspruches 1 aufweist.This object is achieved with an ironing board, which has the features of the characterizing part of claim 1.

Vorteilhafte oder zweckmäßige weitere Ausgestaltungen der erfindungsgemäßen Bügeltischplatte sind in den Ansprüchen 2 bis 12 angegeben.Advantageous or expedient further embodiments of the ironing board according to the invention are given in claims 2 to 12.

Die Ansprüche 14 bis 21 nennen vorteilhafte oder zweckmäßige Ausgestaltungen eines mit einer derartigen Bügeltischplatte ausgestatteten Bügeltisches Anspruch 13.The claims 14 to 21 mention advantageous or expedient embodiments of an ironing board equipped with such an ironing board claim 13.

In den Ansprüchen 22 und 23 sind zwei alternative Verfahren für die Herstellung der erfindungsgemäßen Bügeltischplatte, welche ein Formkörper ist, angegeben.In claims 22 and 23, two alternative methods for the production of the ironing board according to the invention, which is a shaped body specified.

Vorteileadvantages

Die erfindungsgemäße Bügeltischplatte kann auf einfache Weise mit geringstmöglichem Zeitaufwand unter Zuhilfenahme eines Formwerkzeuges kostengünstig hergestellt werden. Die Bügeltischplatte bringt dabei sozusagen schon "von Haus aus" die Eigenschaften mit, die für die neue Bügeltechnik wichtig und wesentlich sind, nämlich ein dampfundurchlässiges Gefüge und gute Wärmeisolation. Bei entsprechender Wahl des für ihre Herstellung verwendeten Materials und zweckentsprechender Bemessung kann eine Festigkeit bzw. Belastbarkeit des Formkörpers und damit der Bügeltischplatte erzielt werden, die derjenigen von bisher bekannten Bügeltischplatten nicht nachsteht.The ironing board according to the invention can be produced inexpensively in a simple manner with the least possible time expenditure with the aid of a mold. The ironing board brings with it, so to speak, "from home" with the properties that are important and essential for the new ironing technology, namely a vapor-impermeable structure and good heat insulation. With a suitable choice of the material used for their preparation and appropriate design a strength or resilience of the molding and thus the ironing board can be achieved, which is not inferior to that of previously known ironing board.

Zum Erzielen einer möglichst guten Wärmeisolation bei gleichzeitig dampfundurchlässigem Gefüge, aber auch zum Erzielen einer hohen Festigkeit ist es zweckmäßig, dass der Hartschaumstoff des Formkörpers der Bügeltischplatte eine geschlossen-zellige Struktur aufweist. Als Ausgangsmaterial für den Schaumstoff können verschiedene Kunststoffe dienen; als ein für die Herstellung des Formkörpers für die erfindungsgemäße Bügeltischplatte bevorzugtes Ausgangsmaterial wird wegen der im vorliegenden Zusammenhang besonders interessierenden Eigenschaften jedoch Polypropylen oder ein vergleichbarer Kunststoff vorgeschlagen. Ein solcher Kunststoff kann entweder so verarbeitet werden, dass er erst in dem erwähnten Formwerkzeug zu der erfindungsgemäßen Bügeltischplatte, welche ein Formkörper ist, homogen aufgeschäumt wird, oder es kann ein Kunststoff- bzw. Schaumstoffgranulat verwendet werden, dessen geschäumte Partikel nach an sich bekannter Behandlungsmethode im Formwerkzeug mehr oder weniger stark aneinander haften, wobei eine an die Formgebung des Formkörpers im Formwerkzeug anschließende Temperung/Sinterung zur weiteren Verfestigung des Formkörpers führt.To achieve the best possible heat insulation at the same time vapor-impermeable structure, but also to achieve a high strength, it is expedient that the rigid foam of the shaped body of the ironing board has a closed cell structure. As a starting material for the foam can serve various plastics; as a preferred for the preparation of the shaped body for the ironing board according to the invention starting material is because of the present context particularly interesting properties proposed polypropylene or a comparable plastic. Such a plastic material can either be processed in such a way that it is foamed up homogeneously only in the mentioned molding tool to the ironing board plate according to the invention, which is a shaped body, or a plastic or foam granulate can be used whose foamed particles are produced by a known treatment method more or less strongly adhere to each other in the mold, wherein an annealing / sintering subsequent to the shaping of the shaped body in the mold leads to further solidification of the shaped body.

Die Isolierfähigkeit des Formkörpers der erfindungsgemäßen Bügeltischplatte gegen Wärme(ab)leitung ist wegen der durchgehenden Schaumstruktur des Formkörpers bereits so gut, dass die vom Bügeleisen ausgehende Wärme nur in sehr geringem, vernachlässigbarem Ausmaß ungenutzt durch Wärmeleitung nach unten verloren geht. Zur weiteren Verbesserung des Bügelergebnisses und Einsparung von Energie ist es jedoch vorteilhaft, dass die Oberseite des Formkörpers mit einem Wärmestrahlung reflektierenden Material beschichtet oder mit einer entsprechenden Folie überspannt ist, welches bzw. welche außerdem auch als zusätzliche, die dampfsperrende, zumindest aber stark dampfbremsende Eigenschaft des Materials des Formkörpers ergänzende, im Hinblick auf die neue Bügeltechnik vorteilhaft dicht unter dem Bügeltischbezug liegende Dampfsperre dienen kann. Dieses Wärmestrahlung reflektierende Material bzw. diese Beschichtung des Formkörpers kann direkt unter dem beispielsweise aus einem Baumwollstoff bestehenden Bügeltischbezug liegen oder unter einem an den Bügeltischbezug in Richtung auf den Formkörper zu anschließenden Zwischenpolster. Allerdings weist der Formkörper bereits derart gute Isolations-, Ausgleichs- und Polsterungseigenschaften auf, dass auf ein gesondertes Zwischenpolster verzichtet werden kann, eventuell auch auf eine Reflexionsschicht für Strahlungswärme und/oder auf eine gesonderte Dampfsperre.The insulating ability of the shaped body of the ironing board according to the invention against heat (from) line is already so good because of the continuous foam structure of the molded body that the heat emanating from the iron is lost only to a very small, negligible extent unused by heat conduction down. To further improve the ironing result and save energy, however, it is advantageous that the top of the molded body is coated with a heat radiation reflecting material or spanned with a corresponding film, which or which also as an additional, the steam-blocking, but at least strongly vapor-damping property the material of the molding complementary, in view of the new ironing technology can advantageously serve just below the ironing board cover vapor barrier. This heat radiation-reflecting material or this coating of the molding can be directly under the example of a cotton fabric ironing board cover or under a to the ironing board cover in the direction of the molding to be followed intermediate cushion. However, the molded body already has such good insulation, compensation and padding properties that it is possible to dispense with a separate intermediate cushion, possibly also a reflective layer for radiant heat and / or a separate vapor barrier.

Bei einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der erfindungsgemäßen Bügeltischplatte sind die Führungs- und/oder Lagermittel für das Stützgestell des Bügeltisches bereits in den Formkörper der Bügeltischplatte eingeschäumt. Das kann herstellungs- und kostenmäßige Vorteile haben und/oder Vorteile bezüglich Festigkeit und Belastbarkeit der Bügeltischplatte. - Bei einer alternativen Lösung für den Zusammenhalt des Formkörpers mit den Führungs- und/oder Lagermitteln des Stützgestells sind am Formkörper einerseits und an den Führungs- und/oder Lagermitteln andererseits Verbindungsmittel vorgesehen, mittels denen der Formkörper mit dem Stützgestell verbindbar ist.In a further embodiment of the ironing board according to the invention the guiding and / or storage means for the support frame of the ironing board are already foamed into the molding of the ironing board. This can have manufacturing and cost advantages and / or advantages in terms of strength and resilience of the ironing board. - In an alternative solution for the cohesion of the molding with the guiding and / or bearing means of the support frame connecting means are provided on the molding on the one hand and on the guide and / or bearing means on the other hand, by means of which the molding is connectable to the support frame.

In ästhetischer Hinsicht, aber auch im Hinblick auf leichte Handhabung und Lagerung des Bügeltisches mit zusammengeklapptem Stützgestell ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Führungs- und/oder Lagermittel für das Stützgestell zumindest zu einem erheblichen Anteil unterhalb der Außenkontur der Unterseite des Formkörpers liegen. Zusätzlich zu einer solchen Lösung - oder unabhängig davon - ist es ferner aus ähnlichen Gründen wie den zuvor genannten zweckmäßig, wenn der Formkörper auf seiner Unterseite Vertiefungen und/oder Erhebungen oder dgl. aufweist, die der Aufnahme von Elementen des Stützgestells des Bügeltisches dienen, beispielsweise zum Aufnehmen eines Teiles oder von Bereichen der Standbeine. Diese Vertiefungen und/oder Erhebungen können überdies auch einer Verrastung von Elementen des Stützgestells im zusammengeklappten Zustand dienen.In terms of aesthetics, but also with regard to ease of handling and storage of the ironing board with collapsed support frame, it is advantageous if the guide and / or bearing means for the support frame are at least to a considerable extent below the outer contour of the underside of the molding. In addition to such a solution - or independently - it is also useful for reasons similar to those mentioned above, if the molding on its underside depressions and / or elevations or the like., Which serve to receive elements of the support frame of the ironing table, for example for picking up a part or areas of the legs. These depressions and / or elevations may also serve to latch elements of the support frame in the folded state.

Zum Befestigen eines Stützgestells am Formkörper können in diesem Befestigungsöffnungen für Schrauben oder ähnliche Befestigungsmittel vorgesehen sein, wobei diese Befestigungsöffnungen zweckmäßig verstärkt ausgeführt sind. Dies kann beispielsweise mittels hülsenartiger Einsatzstücke geschehen, die durch Einschäumen in den Formkörper integriert sind.To attach a support frame on the molded body can be provided in this mounting holes for screws or similar fasteners, these mounting holes are expediently reinforced. This can be done for example by means of sleeve-like inserts, which are integrated by foaming in the molding.

Weitere vorteilhafte oder zweckmäßige Ausgestaltungen einer erfindungsgemäßen Bügeltischplatte bzw. eines mit einer solchen Bügeltischplatte versehenen Bügeltisches sind den nachfolgenden Ausführungen im Zusammenhang mit der Beschreibung eines Ausführungsbeispiels zu entnehmen.Further advantageous or expedient embodiments of an ironing board according to the invention or one provided with such an ironing board top Ironing tables are to be found in the following statements in connection with the description of an embodiment.

Zum Erzielen ausreichender Festigkeit und Belastbarkeit wird das Raumgewicht des Hartschaumstoffes - bei einer Dicke des Formkörpers 4 in der Größenordnung von ca. 50 mm - zweckmäßig auf einen Wert in der Größenordnung von ca. 60g/l eingestellt und hat eine geschlossen-zellige Struktur.1 to 7 of the drawing show a generally designated 1 ironing table, which consists essentially of an ironing board 2 and a folding support frame 3. The ironing board plate 2 - which is shown in the drawing without textile ironing board cover and optionally existing supports such as intermediate padding and / or heat radiation reflective film or the like. - Is formed by a shaped body 4, which is made in one piece and consists of a rigid foam. Polypropylene is advantageously used as starting material for the rigid foam, with two alternatives for the process for producing the shaped body, as explained above. To achieve sufficient strength and resilience, the density of the rigid foam - with a thickness of the shaped body 4 in the order of about 50 mm - expediently set to a value in the order of about 60g / l and has a closed cell structure.

Auf seiner Unterseite weist der Formkörper 4 Vertiefungen bzw. Erhebungen 5, 6, 7, 8 und 9 bzw. 10, 11 (siehe Fig. 8 bis 10) zum Aufnehmen von Elementen des Stützgestells 3 des Bügeltisches 1 auf. Diese Elemente sind zunächst Führungs- und Lagerschienen 12, 13 zur Führung bzw. Lagerung der beiden mit 14 bzw. 15 bezeichneten schwenkbaren Standbeine des Stützgestells 3. Sodann gehören zu diesen Elementen auch die Standbeine 14, 15, die bis auf relativ kurze Bereiche ihrer mit einem Standfüß 16 bzw. 17 abgeschlossenen freien Enden zumindest großenteils oder überwiegend unterhalb der durch die mit 18 bzw. 19 bezeichneten, die Außenkontur der Unterseite des Formkörpers 4 maßgeblich bestimmenden Flächenbereiche liegen. Auch die mit 20, 21 bzw. 22 bezeichneten Schwenkachsen der Standbeine 14, 15 - von denen die Schwenkachse 22 an ihren Enden nicht näher dargestellte Führungsrollen trägt, die sich in der einen bzw. anderen der beiden Führungs- und Lagerschienen 12 bzw. 13 führen - liegen dementsprechend unterhalb dieser Außenkontur.On its underside, the molded body 4 recesses or elevations 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 or 10, 11 (see Fig. 8 to 10) for receiving elements of the support frame 3 of the ironing board 1. These elements are first Guide and bearing rails 12, 13 for guiding or supporting the two designated 14 and 15 pivoting legs of the support frame 3. Then belong to these elements, the legs 14, 15, which except for relatively short areas of their with a pedestal 16 and 17 closed free ends, at least for the most part or predominantly below the area designated by 18 and 19, the outer contour of the underside of the molding 4 are decisive determining surface areas. Also designated with 20, 21 and 22 pivot axes of the legs 14, 15 - of which the pivot axis 22 carries at its ends not shown guide rollers, which lead in one or the other of the two guide and bearing rails 12 and 13 respectively - are accordingly below this outer contour.

Der Formkörper 4 weist der bequemen Handhabung des Bügeltisches 1 dienende integrierte Griffbereiche 23, 24 auf, die etwa mittig in der Nähe der einen bzw. der anderen, mit 25 bzw. 26 bezeichneten Längsseite des Formkörpers 4 vorgesehen sind.The molded body 4 has the convenient handling of the ironing table 1 serving integrated grip portions 23, 24 which are provided approximately centrally in the vicinity of one or the other, designated 25 and 26 longitudinal side of the molding 4.
