Description

La présente invention se rapporte à un fer à repasser comportant une poignée formant une protubérance sur le corps du fer, les parois de ce dernier convergeant vers la base de la poignée, et se rapporte plus particulièrement à des moyens pour limiter les risques de brûlures lors de la manipulation de tels fers.The present invention relates to an iron with a handle forming a protuberance on the body of the iron, the walls of the latter converging towards the base of the handle, and relates more particularly to means to limit the risk of burns when handling such irons.

Il est connu, du document DE 27 12 805, un fer à repasser comportant une poignée de forme semi-elliptique formant une protubérance sur le corps du fer, ce dernier comportant des parois convergeant vers la base de la poignée sans qu'il ne résulte d'espace entre la poignée et les parois du corps du fer. Une telle poignée ramassée et relativement large sur le corps du fer présente l'avantage de permettre une saisie de la poignée suivant différentes directions, la paume de la main venant reposer sur le sommet de la poignée tandis que les doigts viennent enserrer l'avant de la poignée, dans un renfoncement situé à la base de la poignée. Une telle poignée ramassée présente cependant l'inconvénient de rapprocher l'extrémité des doigts de la main des parois chaudes du corps du fer, ce qui augmente les risques de brûlures accidentelles au contact des doigts avec les zones chaudes du fer, proches de la semelle, au cours des différents changements de prises de la poignée, ce problème étant d'autant plus important que l'utilisateur possède de grandes mains.It is known from document DE 27 12 805, an iron with a semi-elliptical shaped handle forming a protuberance on the body of the iron, the latter having walls converging towards the base of the handle without that it results from space between the handle and the walls of the body of the iron. Such a handle picked up and relatively wide on the body of the iron has the advantage to allow grasping the handle in different directions, the palm of the hand coming to rest on the top of the handle while the fingers enclose the front of the handle, in a recess located at the base of the handle. Such a handle, however, has the disadvantage to bring the fingertips of the hand closer to the warm walls of the body of the iron, which increases the risk of accidental burns when in contact with the fingers with the hot zones of the iron, close to the sole, during the different grip changes, this problem being all the more important that the user has big hands.

Aussi, un but de la présente invention est de remédier à ces inconvénients en proposant un fer à repasser comportant une poignée de forme ramassée formant une protubérance sur le corps du fer et muni de moyens limitant le mouvement des doigts en direction des parois chaudes du corps du fer lorsque l'utilisateur saisit la poignée pour manipuler le fer.Also, an object of the present invention is to remedy these disadvantages by providing an iron with a shaped handle forming a protuberance on the body of the iron and provided with means limiting the movement of the fingers towards the warm walls of the iron body when the user grasps the handle to manipulate the iron.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un fer à repasser comportant un corps surmontant une semelle et une poignée formant une protubérance sur le corps du fer, le corps comportant des parois convergeant vers la base de la poignée, la poignée comprenant une surface supérieure formant une surface d'appui pour la paume de la main et des parois latérales s'étendant depuis la surface supérieure de la poignée jusqu'aux parois du corps du fer, les parois latérales comportant une zone de préhension destinée à recevoir l'extrémité des doigts, caractérisé en ce que le fer comporte des gardes de protection des doigts faisant saillie latéralement sous les zones de préhension de la poignée, les gardes servant de butoir pour les doigts de la main empêchant ces derniers de venir au contact des parois chaudes du corps du fer.For this purpose, the subject of the invention is an iron with a body surmounting a sole and a handle forming a protuberance on the body of iron, the body having walls converging towards the base of the handle, the handle comprising an upper surface forming a bearing surface for the palm of the hand and sidewalls extending from the surface top of the handle to the walls of the body of the iron, the side walls having a gripping zone for receiving the ends of the fingers, characterized in that the iron comprises finger guards making protruding laterally under the gripping areas of the handle, the guards bumper for the fingers of the hand preventing them from coming to contact of the hot walls of the body of the iron.

Une telle poignée présente l'avantage de limiter les risques de brûlures des doigts, notamment pour un utilisateur possédant de grandes mains.Such a handle has the advantage of limiting the risk of burns of fingers, especially for a user with large hands.

Selon une autre caractéristique du fer à repasser selon l'invention, les gardes de protection sont situées à la jonction entre la poignée et le corps du fer.According to another characteristic of the iron according to the invention, the guards are located at the junction between the handle and the body of the iron.

Une telle caractéristique permet aux gardes de protection de servir également de repose doigts, ces derniers se trouvant calés pour une plus grande ergonomie d'utilisation du fer.Such a feature allows protection guards to serve as rest fingers, the latter being wedged for greater ergonomics use of iron.

Selon encore une autre caractéristique du fer à repasser selon l'invention, le corps du fer forme un dôme dont la base est ajustée au contour de la semelle et dont le sommet présente une partie évasée formant les gardes de protection des doigts, la largeur du sommet évasé du corps étant plus importante que la largeur de la poignée au niveau de sa base.According to yet another characteristic of the iron according to the invention, the body of the iron forms a dome whose base is adjusted to the contour of the sole and whose top has a flared portion forming the protective guards of the fingers, the width of the flared top of the body being larger than the width of the handle at its base.

Une telle caractéristique permet une parfaite intégration des gardes de protection dans la ligne du fer.Such a characteristic allows a perfect integration of the guards of protection in the iron line.

Selon une autre caractéristique, les gardes de protection débordent latéralement d'au moins 5 mm par rapport à la surface des parois latérales de la poignée.According to another characteristic, the protection guards protrude laterally at least 5 mm from the surface of the side walls of the handle.

Une telle caractéristique présente l'avantage d'assurer un bon calage des doigts sur les gardes de protection.Such a characteristic has the advantage of ensuring a good wedging of the fingers on the protection guards.

Selon encore une autre caractéristique, les parois latérales sont sensiblement parallèles entre elles ou faiblement convergentes au niveau des zones de préhension, la largeur de la poignée au niveau des zones de préhension étant supérieure à 5 cm.According to yet another feature, the side walls are substantially parallel to each other or weakly convergent at the level of gripping, the width of the handle at the gripping areas being greater than 5 cm.

Une telle caractéristique, permet d'avoir une poignée d'une grande ergonomie empêchant une position trop refermée des doigts de la main génératrice de crispations.Such a feature, allows to have a handle of great ergonomics preventing too close a position of the fingers of the generating hand of tensions.

Selon d'autres modes particuliers de réalisation, le fer à repasser selon l'invention peut comprendre l'une ou plusieurs des combinaisons prises isolément ou selon toutes les combinaisons techniquement possibles :

  • la largeur de la surface supérieure dépasse 6 cm et les zones de préhension définissent un renfoncement sur les parois latérales,
  • le rapport longueur/largeur de la poignée est compris entre 1,4 et 2,3 et préférentiellement entre 1,7 et 2,
  • les parois latérales de la poignée s'étendent sur une hauteur supérieure à 3 cm
According to other particular embodiments, the iron according to the invention may comprise one or more combinations in isolation or in any technically possible combination:
  • the width of the upper surface exceeds 6 cm and the gripping areas define a recess on the side walls,
  • the length / width ratio of the handle is between 1.4 and 2.3 and preferably between 1.7 and 2,
  • the side walls of the handle extend over a height greater than 3 cm

On comprendra mieux les buts, aspects et avantages de la présente invention, d'après la description donnée ci-après d'un mode particulier de réalisation de l'invention présenté à titre d'exemple non limitatif, en se référant aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'un fer à repasser selon un mode particulier de réalisation de l'invention ;
  • les figures 2 à 5 sont respectivement des vues de face, arrière, de côté et de dessus du fer de la figure 1.
The aims, aspects and advantages of the present invention will be better understood from the description given below of a particular embodiment of the invention presented by way of non-limiting example, with reference to the accompanying drawings in FIG. which :
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of an iron according to a particular embodiment of the invention;
  • Figures 2 to 5 are respectively front, rear, side and top views of the iron of Figure 1.

Seuls les éléments nécessaires à la compréhension de l'invention ont été représentés. Pour faciliter la lecture des dessins les mêmes éléments portent les mêmes références d'une figure à l'autre.Only the elements necessary for understanding the invention have been represented. To facilitate the reading of the drawings the same elements the same references from one figure to another.

Les figures 1 à 5 représentent un fer à repasser à vapeur comportant une semelle 1 chauffante, surmontée d'un corps 2 et d'une poignée 3 disposée sensiblement au-dessus du centre de la semelle 1.Figures 1 to 5 show a steam iron with a sole 1 heated, surmounted by a body 2 and a handle 3 disposed substantially above the center of the sole 1.

La semelle 1, sensiblement plane, présente une forme particulière à trois pointes permettant un repassage efficace dans plusieurs directions.The sole 1, substantially flat, has a particular shape to three tips for efficient ironing in several directions.

Le corps 2 du fer comporte des parois 21 convergeant en direction de la poignée 3 de sorte que le corps 2 forme un dôme dont la base est ajustée au contour de la semelle 1; et dont le sommet présente une partie tronquée et évasée supportant la poignée 3, cette dernière formant une protubérance sur le corps 2 du fer.The body 2 of the iron comprises walls 21 converging in the direction of the handle 3 so that the body 2 forms a dome whose base is adjusted to the outline of the sole 1; and whose top has a truncated portion and flare supporting the handle 3, the latter forming a protrusion on the body 2 of iron.

La poignée 3 présente une forme générale monobloc, semblable à un galet, et comporte une surface supérieure 31 convexe légèrement inclinée vers l'avant du fer. La surface supérieure 31 présente avantageusement une largeur comprise entre 6 et 9 cm, et préférentiellement de l'ordre de 7 cm, et une longueur supérieure à 10 cm et préférentiellement de l'ordre de 13 cm.The handle 3 has a general one-piece shape, similar to a roller, and has a convex upper surface 31 convex slightly inclined forwardly iron. The upper surface 31 advantageously has a width between 6 and 9 cm, and preferably of the order of 7 cm, and a length greater than 10 cm and preferably of the order of 13 cm.

La surface supérieure 31 se prolonge en direction du corps 2 du fer respectivement par deux parois latérales 32 et une paroi frontale 33, les parois latérales 32 et frontale 33 faisant avantageusement une hauteur de l'ordre de 4 cm.The upper surface 31 extends towards the body 2 of the iron respectively by two side walls 32 and a front wall 33, the walls lateral 32 and front 33 advantageously a height of the order of 4 cm.

Comme on peut mieux le voir sur les figures 1 et 4, les parois latérales 32 sont munis d'un renfoncement concave 32a prenant naissance à proximité de la paroi frontale 33 de la poignée 3, lesdits renfoncements 32a s'étendant vers l'arrière de la poignée sur sensiblement 70% de la longueur de la paroi latérale 32. Ces renfoncements 32a prennent verticalement naissance à proximité des bords latéraux de la surface supérieure 31 et s'étendent sur sensiblement toute la hauteur de la paroi latérale 32.As best seen in FIGS. 1 and 4, the side walls 32 are provided with a concave recess 32a originating near the front wall 33 of the handle 3, said recesses 32a extending towards the back of the handle on substantially 70% of the length of the wall 32. These recesses 32a vertically rise to proximity of the lateral edges of the upper surface 31 and extend over substantially the entire height of the side wall 32.

La largeur de la poignée au niveau des renfoncements 32a est supérieure à 5 cm de sorte que, lorsque les doigts de la main et plus particulièrement, le pouce et l'extrémité de l'auriculaire et/ou de l'annulaire, reposent contre ces renfoncements, ceci n'engendre pas une position refermée de la main.The width of the handle at the recesses 32a is greater than 5 cm so that when the fingers of the hand and more particularly, the inch and the end of the little finger and / or the ring finger, rest against these recesses, this does not generate a closed position of the hand.

Plus particulièrement selon l'invention, la poignée 3 comporte, au niveau de sa base, une largeur plus faible que la largeur du sommet évasé du corps 2 du fer de sorte qu'il résulte de part et d'autre de la poignée 3 un rebord formant une garde 4. De manière préférentielle, les gardes 4 débordent latéralement d'au moins 5 mm par rapport à la surface latérale 32 de la poignée et s'étendent longitudinalement sur sensiblement toute la longueur de la poignée 3.More particularly according to the invention, the handle 3 comprises, at the level of its base, a width smaller than the width of the flared top of the iron body 2 so that on either side of the handle 3 a flange forming a 4. Preferably, the guards 4 extend laterally from minus 5 mm from the lateral surface 32 of the handle and extend longitudinally over substantially the entire length of the handle 3.

Avantageusement, le volume intérieur des gardes 4 pourra intégrer une mousse thermiquement isolante et les gardes 4 seront situées à une distance telle de la semelle 1 chauffante que, en fonctionnement, la température maximale de la portion des parois 21 disposée sous les gardes ne dépasse pas 55°C.Advantageously, the interior volume of the guards 4 can integrate a thermally insulating foam and guards 4 will be located at a distance as the heating soleplate 1 that, in operation, the temperature maximum portion of the walls 21 disposed under the guards does not exceed 55 ° C.

Ces gardes 4 servent de butée pour les doigts de la main lorsque la paume repose sur la poignée 3, empêchant ainsi que les doigts ne viennent accidentellement toucher les parois chaudes 21 du corps 2 du fer.These guards 4 serve as a stop for the fingers of the hand when the palm rests on the handle 3, thus preventing the fingers from coming accidentally touch the hot walls 21 of the body 2 of the iron.

Le fer ainsi réalisé présente l'avantage de comporter une poignée procurant une grande ergonomie et une plus grande sécurité contre les risques de brûlures. Les gardes disposées à la base de la poignée servent à la fois à limiter le rayonnement de la chaleur en direction des doigts et à bloquer le mouvement des doigts en direction du corps du fer lorsque l'utilisateur saisit la poignée.The iron thus produced has the advantage of having a handle providing great ergonomics and greater security against the risks of burns. The guards at the base of the handle serve both to limit the radiation of heat towards the fingers and to block the movement of the fingers towards the body of the iron when the user grasps the handle.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est nullement limitée au mode de réalisation décrit et illustré qui n'a été donné qu'à titre d'exemple. Des modifications restent possibles, notamment du point de vue de la constitution des divers éléments ou par substitution d'équivalents techniques, sans sortir pour autant du domaine de protection de l'invention.Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiment described and illustrated which has been given only as an example. Modifications remain possible, particularly from the point of view of the constitution of the various elements or by substituting technical equivalents, without leaving the domain protection of the invention.

Ainsi, dans le mode de réalisation représenté, les gardes disposées à la base de la poignée sont intégrées visuellement dans le corps du fer. Cependant, dans un autre mode de réalisation, les gardes servant de butoir pour les doigts pourront être réalisées par des ailettes en saillie portées par la poignée ou par la partie supérieure du corps du fer.Thus, in the embodiment shown, the guards arranged at the base of the handle are visually integrated into the body of the iron. However, in a Another embodiment, the guards serving as a finger stop will be able to be made by projecting fins carried by the handle or by the part upper body of iron.

Ainsi, dans une variante de réalisation non représentée, les gardes de protection peuvent être surmoulées dans une matière spécifique, à très faible coefficient de conductivité thermique. Dans une autre variante de réalisation, une matière isolante pourra également être intercalée entre les gardes rapportées et le corps du fer.Thus, in an embodiment variant not shown, the guards of protection can be overmoulded in a specific material, at very low coefficient of thermal conductivity. In another variant embodiment, an insulating material may also be inserted between the guards reported and the body of the iron.
