Definitions

  • the present invention relates to irons.
  • the handle is secured to the rest of the device by clashes to the front and / or back of the iron.
  • molded parts for example, have parts of the casing body and the handle so that there is no discontinuity between the body and the handle.
  • the lighter irons have only one connection at the front or rear, and the handle is cantilever as in US Patent D415865, which leads to strengthening the unique binding with the body iron, and is not suitable for heavier irons.
  • the object of the invention below is an iron whose handle has at the back of the iron a connection to the rest of the body of the device that provides a maximum of room for the manual gripping of the iron on the handle and which allows the arrangement of a filling port of the tank facilitating the filling, while maintaining a good stability of the iron on its heel and the strength of the connection.
  • an iron comprising from bottom to top a heating soleplate, a body bounded by an envelope, a handling handle connected by its rear end to the body of the iron, the iron also comprising a reservoir.
  • water (10) characterized in that the rear link is mainly composed of at least two arms extending substantially symmetrically with respect to the median plane of the iron from the handle away to the body of the iron and between them an open space (7) into which opens an orifice for filling the tank.
  • the arms can be light, of small section, and small footprint, leaving maximum room for grip by the handle. They provide between them a space or a cavity open in the longitudinal direction towards the back on the one hand and towards the handle on the other hand. Viewed from the back of the iron, the resulting structure is substantially triangulated, which makes it very rigid, and relieves, when it exists, the front connection of the handle with the body, torsion torque induced by the hand. This structure is particularly well adapted to transmit to the iron the lateral movements of the oscillating hand in a horizontal plane.
  • the arms are arranged so as to generate with the rear of the body a support plane of the iron placed on its heel.
  • the iron support polygon on the heel is materialized by the arms and lower body, which gives the iron a maximum seat.
  • the shape of the open space is adapted to that of a support on which it is intended to place the iron.
  • the support disposed on the worktop is no longer in contact with the hot sole.
  • the materials composing the support can be more economical.
  • the dimensions of the open space allow it to receive a funnel for filling a water tank of the iron.
  • the reservoir in the body extends from the front to the back of the device. Filling is made easier. Indeed, there is then enough room to accommodate a large funnel compared to those that can be designed at the front of the device.
  • the funnel is preferably higher than the tank which can not be emptied by this accessory in normal position.
  • the funnel is provided with a shutter.
  • the shutter can be for example a manual removal cap, or a tilting flap that closes, at least when the iron is disposed on its heel, so as to prevent the water tank can not come out of the funnel.
  • the funnel is connected to the tank at the front of the apparatus.
  • the binding at the front prevents the tank from emptying when the iron is placed on its heel. In this position, indeed, the water is collected near the heel.
  • the connection of the funnel to the tank then leads to an air space and the tank can not be emptied by the connection.
  • an iron comprises a heating soleplate 1, a body 2, a handle 3.
  • the handle 3 is connected to the body 2 at the front of the iron in known manner by a foot 4 extending one end of the handle.
  • this foot 4 is hollow to contain iron members, and the walls are thin.
  • the handle 3 is connected by the other end to the body 2 at the rear of the iron by two arms 5 extending away from the handle 3 to the body of the iron so that the resulting structure is substantially triangulated.
  • the contour of the rear end of the handle 3, the arms 5 and the body 2 clearly visible in FIG. 2 and marked 6 in FIG.
  • FIG. 5 of an industrial embodiment shows a planar polygon at the rear of the iron, polygon by which the iron is supported on the worktop when it is placed on its heel outside the active ironing sequences.
  • the arms 5 delimit between them a space 7 located between the handle 3 and the body 2, open at the front and rear, where the folded power supply cord, when it exists, can be stored.
  • the structure of the arms 5 makes it possible to lighten the foot 4 which does not receive torsional forces.
  • the arms 5 can be of small section which releases the space available on the handle for handling. By moving away towards the body of the iron, the arms enlarge to the maximum the polygon of levitation of the iron resting on his heel improving his equilibrium.
  • the space 7 can be extended downwards in the body 2 at the rear of the iron as shown in Figure 5 of an industrial embodiment, which on the one hand facilitates the storage of the cord, and secondly improves the stability of the iron on his heel.
  • an obstacle for example a bead of laundry, being in the support polygon, finds its place in the cavity 7 and does not affect the equilibrium of iron.
  • the irons comprising a cord may have a cord outlet 8 conventionally located at the rear of the handle 3 as shown in FIG. 5.
  • the cord outlet is advantageously implanted on the body 2 in the cavity. 7 to directly feed the active organs.
  • the arms naturally limit the deflection of the cord at the outlet 8, which reduces the bending stresses and increases the service life.
  • the arms eliminate any risk of hanging the cord with the handle during ironing.
  • a notch 9 is made at the back of the iron to allow the passage of the iron cord placed on his heel.
  • the cavity 7 is used to receive iron connection contacts on its support.
  • the contacts are arranged in the cavity 7 laterally on the arms 5 and / or on the body 2 so as not to generate a delivery force after the engagement of the iron on the support.
  • the iron comprises a sole 1, a body 2 containing a water reservoir 10, a handle 3 connected to the body 2 at the front of the iron by a foot 4 and the back of the iron by two arms 5 arranged as in previous versions by providing a space 7 between them.
  • the space 7 houses a funnel 11 whose large opening 110 is directed towards the rear and whose large edge is flush with or is set back from the plane of support of the iron on its heel.
  • the small opening 111 of the funnel 11 is directed towards the front of the iron and is connected to the front of the tank 10 by a tube 12.
  • the tank 10 is also provided with a vent at the rear of the iron and at the top of the tank. The vent is connected by an axis tube 13 to an opening located at the front of the iron above the tank 10.
  • the fixed funnel is housed in an extension of the body 2 in the space 7.
  • the reservoir 10 is among others intended to contain the water of vaporization necessary for ironing.
  • the housekeeper can easily fill the water tank 10 by holding his iron to iron vertically, tip down, by the funnel 11 whose large section of the opening 110 is permitted by this arrangement, the back of the iron between the arms 5.
  • the water flows into the tank 10 through the tube 12 and the air from the tank driven by the filling water escapes through the vent and the tube 13.
  • the housekeeper rests its iron in normal ironing position, or laying on his heel, the provision of water inlet and vent prohibited water to escape.
  • the funnel 11 can tilt in the body 2 of the iron around a transverse axis passing through the connection of the small hole 111 to the pipe 12, and thus retract, thus freeing up the place to store the cord in space 7.
  • the iron comprises a water reservoir 10 whose filling is effected by an orifice opening into the space 7, this orifice being provided with means of receiving and guiding the liquid through the orifice to the reservoir 10, said means passing through the orifice and being rotatable between a first open position visible in Figure 8 where the liquid can be introduced, and a second closed position visible in Figure 7 wherein said means are retracted into the reservoir 10 and provide closure of the orifice.
  • the means for receiving and guiding the liquid comprise a rotary shutter 20 ensuring the closure and sealing of the orifice through a seal 201 better visible in Figure 71, and a funnel-shaped 22 integral with the rotary shutter.
  • the flap is provided with journals 202 embodying an axis of rotation substantially parallel to an edge of the filling orifice.
  • the funnel shape is adapted to the shape of the orifice and its axis of rotation chosen to provide a maximum water passage and have an open water inlet of the handle. To do this, the axis of rotation is horizontal, close to the edge of the rearmost orifice in the space 7.
  • the user by opening the flap 20, which causes the funnel 22 to emerge, can easily fill its water tank. After closure of the shutter, the funnel is retracted into the tank and no longer clutter the space 7 available for other uses, to store the cord at the end of ironing for example.
  • the structure of the iron according to the invention has many advantages.
