Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an iron and more particularly to an iron with a device for spreading an additive on the laundry.
  • the additive must have a viscosity adapted to the spreading device, to be chemically neutral vis-a-vis materials of the spreading device and in particular of the tank, and preferentially be soluble and concentratable in water.
  • Such constraints have the disadvantage of considerably restricting the choice of the additive and leads to the removal of additives of greater efficiency.
  • the additive used is a perfume
  • the spraying of the latter on the linen is accompanied by a strong diffusion of the perfume in the atmosphere, this which leads to perfume the atmosphere with an intensity that can become unpleasant for the user.
  • an object of the present invention is to overcome these disadvantages.
  • the subject of the invention is an iron with a reservoir additive and a device for spreading the additive on the laundry, characterized in that the reservoir contains at least one additive packaged in the form of microcapsules in suspension in a liquid, the microcapsule membrane being made in a material chemically compatible with the materials of the device used to spread the additive.
  • chemically compatible material is meant a material which does not degrade not perceptibly the materials of the device spreading the additive on the lifetime of iron.
  • microencapsulation of the additive has the advantage of eliminating the contact directly between the additive and the elements of the device making it possible to spread the additive, which reduces the problems of chemical aggression or clogging related to the nature of the additive.
  • microencapsulation of the additive allows, without the addition of an agent addition, to use additives that are insoluble in water and do not offer not the possibility of being concentrable or dilutable to be spread on the linen in optimal conditions.
  • microencapsulation of the additive also makes it possible to produce without emulsifier homogeneous and stable suspensions with equivalent concentration additive ranging from 0 to 45% by weight, while maintaining a very low viscosity allowing adaptation to any distribution system.
  • microencapsulation also has the advantage to prevent the additive from losing its effect when the additive reservoir is subjected to at high temperatures following the operation of the iron.
  • microencapsulation of the additive has the advantage of avoiding diffusion in the atmosphere of the additive when it is spilled by means of a spray device. This prevents the user from inhaling the additive when using the spray device.
  • the additive content in the microcapsules includes a fragrance.
  • the liquid in which the microcapsules are in suspension contains another type of additive than that contained in the microcapsules, such as an additive to improve the glide of the iron.
  • Such a characteristic has the advantage of making it possible to obtain an additive two effects, a first immediate effect, associated with the additive included in the liquid supporting the microcapsules, and a second delayed effect, associated with the additive included in the microcapsules.
  • Such a device has the advantage of being simple and in perfect harmony with the use of a microencapsulated additive since the encapsulation of the additive avoids the excessive diffusion of additive into the atmosphere during the spray.
  • the device spray nozzle comprises a nozzle fed by a pump.
  • iron is a steam iron and the spray device is a sprayer using the force motor of steam.
  • Such a characteristic has the advantage of making it possible to obtain a powerful low cost sprayer, the encapsulation of the additive allowing very strongly limit the emission into the atmosphere of the additive inherent in the spray.
  • the reservoir is removable from the iron.
  • Such a feature makes it easy to fill the tank or swap it quickly for another.
  • the invention also relates to a removable reservoir for equipping an iron to as previously described, characterized in that it contains at least a packaged additive in the form of microcapsules suspended in a liquid, the membrane of the microcapsules being made of a material chemically compatible with the materials of the tank.
  • FIG. 1 represents a steam iron conventionally comprising a sole 1 heating and a vaporization chamber fed by a main tank, not shown in the figure.
  • the iron also comprises a spraying device comprising a piston pump 2 fed by an additive tank 3 and connected to a nozzle of Spray 4.
  • the additive reservoir 3 is preferentially under the form of a cassette removably mounted on the body of the iron.
  • the additive reservoir 3 contains microcapsules suspended in a liquid, the microcapsules containing a additive.
  • microcapsules are preferably constituted by polymeric wall capsules with a diameter of a few micrometers and are prepared according to a process known per se, for example according to one of the processes described in French patents FR 1 334 918 and FR 2 548 046.
  • the membranes of the microcapsules will be made of melamine-formaldehyde so as to be chemically neutral with respect to plastic materials, polypropylene type, usually used for perform the spraying device and in particular the additive tank.
  • the microcapsules contain a perfume and are in suspended in water. So when the user operates the pump, the water and the microcapsules of the tank 3 are sprayed through the nozzle 4 and then are deposited in the fibers of the laundry.
  • Such an iron in which the spray pump is fed with a microencapsulated perfume thus has the advantage of allowing perfuming linen during ironing in a simple and fast way, and this without excessively scent the atmosphere so that this application remains pleasant for the user.
  • microencapsulation of the perfume makes it possible to obtain a retarding effect in the diffusion of the perfume, the parameters of diffusion and remanence can be modified by changing the size and thickness of the walls of capsules.
  • Such an embodiment variant has the advantage of allowing, by a simple and fast operation, the application of an anti-odor active principle the action over time will be prolonged by the gradual release of the principle active on the linen following the gradual rupture of the microcapsules during the laundry handling
  • the liquid in which the microcapsules of additive may itself contain an additive, preferably different from that contained in the microcapsules, so that the additive content in the tank and the additive contained in the microcapsules allow to obtain two separate effects.
  • the liquid, such as water, in which the microcapsules are in suspension may contain silicone to promote the glide of the iron, that this is described in the patent application EP 1 201 818.
  • the silicone-additive water is sprayed directly onto the linen, which allows to obtain immediately an improvement of the glide of the iron.
  • the additive contained in the microcapsules projected by the pump spray will be released only gradually during the passage of iron or laundry handling
  • the microcapsules suspended in the tank liquid may contain different types of additives. So, some capsules of the tank will contain perfume and other capsules a active ingredient anti-odor or anti-bacterial.
  • FIG. 2 represents an application of the invention to an associated iron to an external steam generator, not shown in the figure.
  • the iron comprises a pipe 11 for the arrival of steam under pressure which feeds a spray device comprising a valve 12 controlled by a push button 13 and a nozzle of spraying 14 disposed on the front of the iron.
  • the spray nozzle 14 is supplied with steam by the valve 12 and has a venturi at which opens an end of a tube 15, the other end of the tube immersed in an additive reservoir 16 disposed under the nozzle 14.
  • This reservoir 16 is in the form of a removable cassette and contains, according to the invention, at least one additive packaged in microcapsules which are suspended in a liquid.
  • liquid supporting the microcapsules and the additive contained in the microcapsules will advantageously be chosen from the different examples previously described.
  • Such a spraying device using the driving force of the present vapor the advantage of being powerful, inexpensive and particularly advantageous when is used in combination with a microencapsulated additive.
  • the packaging of the additive in capsules can significantly reduce the dispersive effect inherent in such a steam spraying device. he then becomes possible to perfume linen without this causing a excessive perfuming of the ambient air.
  • FIG. 3 represents the application of the invention to an iron having a distribution system in which the additive is diluted dispensing device before being sprayed on the laundry.
  • the button 22 When the user wishes to treat his laundry with the additive, he presses the button 22, which triggers the start of the pump 21.
  • the pump 21 then draws water from the main tank 23 and the liquid and the microcapsules of the additive tank 24 and then rejects a diluted mixture towards the spray nozzle 27.
  • the use of a microencapsulated additive has the advantage of allowing a high concentration of additive in the tank while maintaining a reduced viscosity perfectly suited to a conventional pumping device.
  • the high concentration of additives to use an additive tank of low capacity, space saving and therefore easy To manipulate.
  • the additive microencapsulated can be introduced directly into the tank feeding the vaporization chamber of the iron so that the microcapsules will deposited on the laundry by the steam outlet holes of the soleplate.
  • the microencapsulation of the additive has the advantage of protect the coating of the spray chamber against possible chemical aggression of the additive. Microencapsulation also allows protect the additive from heat shock and thus allows the latter to conserve his integrity until his arrival on the linen.
