Definitions

  • the present invention relates to steam irons where the water supplied by a reservoir is vaporized almost instantaneously in a vaporization chamber, the flow of water from the reservoir to the vaporization chamber being controlled by a dropper.
  • the advanced irons also include a drip-free device which stops the flow of water to be sprayed when the steam chamber is insufficiently hot, to avoid water spitting on the ironed linen.
  • a simple thermostatic device fulfilling this function consists of a bimetallic strip subjected to heating of the vaporization chamber and which opens a non-drip valve arranged in series with the drip.
  • the advanced irons further include self-cleaning means for cleaning the interior of this chamber.
  • These means consist of a relatively wide opening in the bottom of the internal water tank through which can quickly empty said tank into the vaporization chamber, causing a jet of water and steam, which purges the iron. The flow of water from the tank to the chamber must then be able to continue despite the sudden cooling of the vaporization chamber and the closing of the anti-drip valve.
  • Patent FR2589492 discloses an iron having a drip which controls the flow of water in the vaporization chamber. The drip is in series with a non-drip valve mounted on a rocker lever operated by a bimetallic sensitive to the temperature of the chamber. But this iron does not include a self-cleaning device and the anti-drop systematically closes the water circuit when the chamber cools.
  • the patent FR2769925 describes an iron having a self-cleaning function consisting of a self-cleaning valve formed by an elastomeric bell surrounding the drip and capable of short-circuiting it. But the iron has no anti-gout device.
  • Patent DE29720259 describes an iron in which the drip function and the cleaning function are obtained by the same control which acts on the drip needle in a first part of its stroke and causes the self-cleaning in a second part, simplifying the device. But this iron has no anti-gout device.
  • WO9945190 discloses an iron having a drip, an anti-drip device and a self-cleaning function. But the iron has two controls and a valve that bypasses the anti-drip to perform all these functions.
  • Patent FR2821368 discloses an iron having a drip, an anti-drip device and a self-cleaning function. But this function is achieved by means of a bellows with a valve end, so an additional seal to be sealed.
  • the subject of the invention hereinafter is an improved iron, comprising a drip, an anti-drip device and a self-cleaning device, very easy to use, comprising a minimum of organs for an economical design. and reliable.
  • a steam iron comprising a water tank, a hydraulic circuit connecting the tank to an electrically heated vaporization chamber, the circuit comprising in series a non-drip valve, and a droplet.
  • adjustable droplet susceptible, in a self-cleaning position, to open leaving a free and abundant passage of water to said chamber, remarkable in that the drip has means for opening or keeping open the anti-drip valve, when placed in the self-cleaning position.
  • the drip is adjustable by a control having a two-part stroke, the first part allowing the limitation and adjustment of the water flow of vaporization, the second part producing the free passage and abundant water to said vaporization chamber.
  • the iron is then easy to use, with a reduced number of commands.
  • the means for opening or keeping open the anti-drip valve comprises a lever capable of opening the anti-drip valve at one of its ends and actuated by a mobile element of the drip by the other end.
  • the drip rod has a lug which acts on the lever in the second part of the race.
  • the drip rod is surrounded by a module having a stop for acting on the lever, the module opening a wide passage to the water in the second part of the race.
  • the anti-drip device comprises a thermostatic device consisting of a bimetallic strip subjected to the temperature of the vaporization chamber, and which opens the valve when the chamber is at a temperature sufficient to obtain a good vaporization.
  • the anti-drip device comprises an elastic element which recalls the valve resting on the bimetallic strip or in the closed position, and the lever acts against this elastic element.
  • the iron comprises a reservoir 1 of water to vaporize, a soleplate 2 provided with a body 21 heating under the action of an electric heating element 22.
  • a vaporization chamber 23 closed by a plate 231 is formed in the heating body 21. Channels connect the vaporization chamber 23 to the steam outlet orifices 24.
  • the tank 1 is connected to the vaporization chamber 23 by a hydraulic circuit 3 comprising in series a non-drip valve 4 having an axis 41, and a drip device 5.
  • the valve 4 is normally returned to the closed position, as represented in FIG. 1, by the elasticity of a membrane 42, which constitutes a wall of the circuit 3.
  • a thermostatic anti-drop device is constituted by a bimetallic strip 6 secured at one of its ends to the walls of the chamber 23 by a thermally conductive boss 61.
  • the other end of the bimetallic strip 6 is capable of acting on the valve stem 4, against the elasticity of the membrane 42, to open it when the iron is hot, as shown in FIG.
  • the drip 5 comprises a control 51 capable of moving along its axis a rod 52 which carries a lug 53.
  • the end of the rod is a plug 54 provided locally with a groove 541 of variable section.
  • the plug slides along its axis, in a first portion of the control stroke, on a lip 32 of an outlet orifice of the circuit 3 in the vaporization chamber, which makes it possible to control the flow of water, as shown in FIG. Figures 1 and 2.
  • the rod 52 has above the plug 54 a narrowing 55 which leaves a large passage to the flow of water when the plug escapes the lip 32 in a second part of the race.
  • the control 51 is a button that carries an end cam 511.
  • the first part of the control stroke that adjusts the water flow, is obtained in turning the knob.
  • the cam 511 pushes the rod 52 against the action of a spring 521 and positions it stably, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the plug 54 remaining in contact with the lip 32.
  • the second part of the control stroke is obtained by pressing the button 51 along its axis, as shown in FIG. 3.
  • the plug then escapes from the lip 32, to which corresponds the narrowing 55 of the rod 52.
  • the pin 53 pushes the end of a lever 7 rocking on the edge of a rib 71.
  • the other end of the lever 7 is coupled to the axis 41 of the valve 4 which is then kept open whatever the state of the bimetallic 6.
  • the user fills the tank 1.
  • the bimetallic 6 cold is in the position of Figure 1 and the valve 4 is closed by the action of the membrane 42.
  • the user can preset the water flow drip and thus the steam flow by turning the control knob 51 to the desired value.
  • the lip 32 of the drip orifice is in correspondence with a portion of the plug 54 where the groove 541 has a section appropriate to the desired flow rate.
  • the bimetallic strip 6 deflects and pushes the axis 41 of the valve 4 to open it, as shown in FIG. 2.
  • the water can then flow from the tank 1 through the valve 4, the circuit 3 and the passage of the drip 5 whose section is controlled by the lip 32.
  • the user can iron normally.
  • the iron comprises a tank 1 of water to vaporize, a sole 2 provided with a body 21 heated under the action of an electric heating element 22
  • a vaporization chamber 23 closed by a plate 231 is formed in the heating body 21.
  • Channels connect the vaporization chamber 23 to the steam outlet orifices 24.
  • the tank 1 is connected to the vaporization chamber 23 by a hydraulic circuit 3 comprising in series a non-drip valve 4 having an axis 41 whose lower end is provided with a shoulder 411, and a drip device 5.
  • the valve 4 is normally returned to the closed position by a spring 42, as shown in FIG.
  • a thermostatic anti-drop device is constituted by a bimetallic strip 6 secured at one of its ends to the walls of the chamber 23 by a thermally conductive boss 61.
  • the other end of the bimetallic strip 6 comprises a fork capable of acting against the spring 42 on the valve stem 4 relying on the shoulder 411, to open said valve when the iron is hot, as shown in Figure 5.
  • the drip 5 comprises a control 51 which carries a cam 511, having a notched part on a first part of the race and a smooth part and steep slope on a second part of the race.
  • the cam makes it possible to move along its axis a rod 52, against the action of a spring 521.
  • the end of the rod 52 is a needle which controls the passage section of an orifice 54 formed in a module 56 surrounding the needle, the module being capable of catching on the rod 52 and to lift to release a large passage of water through the drip.
  • the rod 52 moves the needle, while the module closes the large passage, which allows to control the flow of water, as shown in Figures 4 and 5.
  • the rod 52 raises the module 56, as long as the user maintains the command.
  • the module 56 has a shoulder 53 lifting the end of a lever 7 pivoting on the edge of a rib 71. The other end of the lever 7 bears on one end of the axis 41 of the valve 4 which is then kept open regardless of the state of the bimetallic strip 6, as can be seen in FIG.
  • the tank 1 is in two parts, an upper part and a lower part.
