Cet arceau 4 est disposé sur la base, au niveau de la partie du plan incliné 21 recevant la pointe avant de la semelle 10 du fer, et est articulé en bordure du plan incliné 21 de sorte que l'arceau 4 puisse pivoter entre une position repliée dans laquelle l'arceau 4 est disposé parallèlement au plan incliné 21 et une position d'immobilisation du fer, dans laquelle l'arceau 4 prend sensiblement appui contre la face supérieure du nez du fer 1, l'arceau 4 occupant alors une position proche de la verticale.This hoop 4 is disposed on the base, at the part of the inclined plane 21 receiving the front tip of the sole 10 of the iron, and is articulated on the edge of the inclined plane 21 so that the hoop 4 can pivot between a position folded in which the hoop 4 is disposed parallel to the inclined plane 21 and an immobilization position of the iron, wherein the hoop 4 substantially bears against the upper face of the nose of the iron 1, the hoop 4 then occupying a position close to the vertical.

L'arceau 4 présente avantageusement une forme triangulaire épousant le contour de l'extrémité avant du plan incliné 21, ce dernier présentant à cet endroits une gorge 27 de réception de l'arceau 4, de sorte que, en position repliée, l'arceau 4 soit parfaitement intégré dans le plan incliné 21 ainsi que cela est représenté à la figure 3.The arch 4 advantageously has a triangular shape matching the contour of the front end of the inclined plane 21, the latter presenting at this point. places a groove 27 for receiving the arch 4, so that in the folded position, the arch 4 is perfectly integrated in the inclined plane 21 as shown in Figure 3.

L'arceau 4 est préférentiellement constitué d'une tige métallique recouverte localement d'un revêtement plastique souple résistant à la chaleur, ce revêtement comportant une languette de préhension 40 disposée dans l'axe longitudinal de la base 2. Le revêtement de l'arceau 4 intègre également avantageusement des butées 41 faisant saillie latéralement de part et d'autre du plan incliné 21 lorsque l'arceau 4 est en position repliée, de sorte que la semelle 10 du fer soit guidée latéralement par ces butées 41 lorsque le fer repose sur le plan incliné 21.The arch 4 is preferably made of a metal rod covered locally with a flexible plastic coating resistant to heat, this coating comprising a gripping tab 40 disposed in the longitudinal axis of the base 2. The coating of the roll bar 4 also advantageously incorporates stops 41 protruding laterally on either side of the inclined plane 21 when the arch 4 is in the folded position, so that the sole 10 of the iron is guided laterally by these stops 41 when the iron rests on the inclined plane 21.

Conformément aux figures 4 et 5 qui représentent isolément le dispositif de verrouillage de l'arceau disposé sous le plan incliné 21, l'arceau 4 se prolonge à l'intérieur du corps de la base par deux bras 42 coopérant avec un dispositif de verrouillage assurant le verrouillage de l'arceau 4 en position de blocage, un bouton de déverrouillage 50 étant prévu sur la partie avant de la base 2 pour déverrouiller l'arceau 4. Les deux bras 42 de l'arceau présentent des parties coaxiales qui sont montées pivotantes au travers de deux paliers 60 portés par un bâti 6 et des extrémités coudées qui sont insérées dans un loquet 7 pouvant se déplacer au travers du bâti 6 sous l'effet de la rotation de l'arceau 4.In accordance with FIGS. 4 and 5, which represent in isolation the locking device of the hoop arranged under the inclined plane 21, the hoop 4 extends inside the body of the base by two arms 42 cooperating with a locking device ensuring the locking of the hoop 4 in the locked position, an unlocking button 50 being provided on the front part of the base 2 to unlock the hoop 4. The two arms 42 of the hoop have coaxial parts which are pivotally mounted through two bearings 60 carried by a frame 6 and bent ends which are inserted into a latch 7 which can move through the frame 6 under the effect of the rotation of the hoop 4.

Comme on peut mieux le voir sur la figure 5 qui représente une vue éclatée du dispositif de verrouillage, le loquet 7 présente des ergots 70 destinés à venir s'enclencher par rotation de l'arceau derrière des cames 51 de blocage portées par un verrou 5 monté coulissant sur le bâti. La course en translation du verrou 5 est délimitée par un pion 52 monté sur une languette élastique qui vient s'insérer au travers d'une lumière 61 du bâti 6, le verrou 5 étant rappelé sous l'effet d'un ressort 8 dans une position de verrouillage et présentant une extrémité formant le bouton de déverrouillage 50 actionnable par l'utilisateur.As can be seen more clearly in FIG. 5, which represents an exploded view of the locking device, the latch 7 has lugs 70 intended to engage by rotation of the hoop behind locking cams 51 carried by a latch 5. slidably mounted on the frame. The travel in translation of the lock 5 is delimited by a pin 52 mounted on an elastic tongue which is inserted through a slot 61 of the frame 6, the latch 5 being recalled under the effect of a spring 8 in a locking position and having an end forming the unlocking button 50 actuated by the user.

Le fonctionnement du dispositif de verrouillage de l'arceau 4 va maintenant être décrit.The operation of the locking device of the arch 4 will now be described.

Lorsque l'utilisateur saisi la languette 40 pour faire pivoter l'arceau 4 sur le nez du fer, le loquet 7 se déplace en rotation vers l'intérieur du bâti 6 et les ergots 70 portés par le loquet 7 viennent au contact de la surface inférieure des cames 51 de blocage ces dernières présentant une pente adaptée pour provoquer le déplacement du verrou 5 à l'encontre du ressort 8 vers l'intérieur du bâti 6. Ce déplacement du verrou 5 s'effectue jusqu'à ce que les ergots 70 s'échappent au-dessus des cames 51 de blocage, le verrou 5 étant alors ramené par le ressort 8 dans sa position de repos. Dans cette position illustrée à la figure 6, les ergots 70 portés par le loquet 7 se trouvent juste au-dessus de la surface supérieure plane des cames 51 de blocage portées par le verrou 5 et la rotation de l'arceau 4 en sens inverse est impossible. Préférentiellement, les ergots 70 sont disposés sur le loquet 7 en un point relativement éloigné, de l'ordre de quelques centimètres, de l'axe de rotation des bras 42 de manière à fournir un couple de blocage important.When the user grasps the tongue 40 to pivot the arch 4 on the nose of the iron, the latch 7 moves in rotation towards the inside of the frame 6 and the pins 70 carried by the latch 7 come into contact with the lower surface of the cams 51 blocking latter having a slope adapted to cause the displacement of the latch 5 against the spring 8 towards the inside of the frame 6. This displacement of the latch 5 is performed until the lugs 70 escape above the locking cams 51, the latch 5 then being returned by the spring 8 in its rest position. In this position illustrated in Figure 6, the lugs 70 carried by the latch 7 are just above the flat upper surface of the locking cams 51 carried by the latch 5 and the rotation of the hoop 4 in the opposite direction is impossible. Preferably, the lugs 70 are arranged on the latch 7 at a relatively distant point, of the order of a few centimeters, from the axis of rotation of the arms 42 so as to provide a large locking torque.

Le déverrouillage de l'arceau ne peut ensuite être obtenu qu'en appuyant sur le bouton 50 de manière à provoquer le déplacement du verrou 5 et faire échapper les cames de blocage 51 de la trajectoire des ergots 70.The unlocking of the hoop can then be obtained by pressing the button 50 so as to cause the displacement of the lock 5 and escape the locking cams 51 of the trajectory of the lugs 70.

Les figures 7a à 7c illustrent le positionnement du fer 1 sur sa base 2 et le verrouillage de l'arceau 4 de blocage.Figures 7a to 7c illustrate the positioning of the iron 1 on its base 2 and the locking of the hoop 4 blocking.

Conformément à la figure 7a, l'utilisateur positionne le fer 1 sur la base 2 en amenant préférentiellement le talon du fer 1 contre le butoir 22 puis en laissant reposer la semelle 10 sur les patins du plan incliné 21, les butées 41 portées par l'arceau 4 en position repliée guidant latéralement la pointe avant de la semelle 10 ainsi que cela est représenté sur la figure 7b.According to FIG. 7a, the user positions the iron 1 on the base 2 by preferentially bringing the heel of the iron 1 against the stopper 22 and then allowing the soleplate 10 to rest on the pads of the inclined plane 21, the stops 41 borne by the hoop 4 in folded position guiding laterally the front tip of the sole 10 as shown in Figure 7b.

Lorsque l'utilisateur souhaite déplacer le générateur, par exemple pour le ranger, il rabat l'arceau 4 sur le nez du fer, au moyen de la languette de préhension 40, jusqu'à ce que l'arceau 4 se trouve immobilisé par le dispositif de verrouillage dans la position de blocage. Dans cette position de blocage, le butoir 22 est partiellement inséré entre les bras 12 du talon du fer et l'arceau 4 est préférentiellement appliqué contre la face supérieure du corps du fer 1 avec un léger écrasement du plastique souple recouvrant l'arceau 4 de manière à ce qu'il en résulte une immobilisation parfaite, sans débattement, du fer 1 sur la base 2. Toutefois, un léger jeu pourra également être prévu entre l'arceau 4 en position de blocage et le nez du fer 1 de manière à faciliter le verrouillage de l'arceau 4.When the user wishes to move the generator, for example to store it, it folds the hoop 4 on the nose of the iron, by means of the gripping tongue 40, until the hoop 4 is immobilized by the locking device in the locking position. In this blocking position, the stopper 22 is partially inserted between the arms 12 of the heel of the iron and the hoop 4 is preferably applied against the upper face of the body of the iron 1 with a slight crushing of the flexible plastic covering the hoop 4 of so that it results in a perfect immobilization, without deflection, the iron 1 on the base 2. However, a slight clearance can also be provided between the arch 4 in the locking position and the nose of the iron 1 so as to facilitate the locking of the hoop 4.

Une fois l'arceau de blocage 4 verrouillé, l'utilisateur peut alors transporter le générateur en saisissant la poignée 11 du fer, l'ensemble du poids étant alors supporté par le corps plastique monobloc du fer 1 intégrant la poignée qui présente une grande résistance.Once the locking bar 4 locked, the user can then transport the generator by grasping the handle 11 of the iron, the entire weight then being supported by the one-piece plastic body of the iron 1 incorporating the handle which has a high resistance .

Un tel dispositif de blocage du fer sur la base du générateur présente donc l'avantage d'être à la fois simple de conception et de permettre le transport du générateur par la poignée du fer sans risque de détérioration du fer, l'ensemble du poids de la base du générateur étant supporté par le corps plastique du fer, sans sollicitation des liaisons entre les éléments du fer.Such an iron locking device on the base of the generator thus has the advantage of being both simple design and allow the transport of the generator by the iron handle without risk of deterioration of the iron, the entire weight of the base of the generator being supported by the plastic body of the iron, without stressing the connections between the elements of the iron.

Bien entendu, l'invention 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 by way of example. Modifications are possible, particularly from the point of view of the constitution of the various elements or by substitution of technical equivalents, without departing from the scope of protection of the invention.

Ainsi, dans une variante de réalisation non représentée sur les figures, le butoir pourra comporter un élément élastique ou une pièce mobile en translation associé à un ressort de compression de manière à ce qu'une poussée soit appliquée sur l'arrière du fer lorsque l'on immobilise l'avant du fer au moyen de l'arceau de blocage afin que le nez du fer s'appuie sous contrainte contre l'arceau de blocage en position verrouillée.Thus, in an alternative embodiment not shown in the figures, the stopper may comprise an elastic element or a movable part in translation associated with a compression spring so that a thrust is applied to the rear of the iron when the the front of the iron is immobilized by means of the locking bow so that the nose of the iron is under stress against the locking bow in the locked position.

Dans une autre variante de réalisation, l'arceau de blocage pourra également être mobile en translation plutôt qu'en rotation.In another variant embodiment, the blocking bar may also be movable in translation rather than in rotation.

Dans une autre variante de réalisation, le butoir arrière pourra être remplacé par un second élément de blocage mobile, tel un arceau, venant immobiliser l'arrière du fer.In another variant embodiment, the rear bumper may be replaced by a second movable locking element, such as a bow, coming to immobilize the rear of the iron.

Dans encore une autre variante de réalisation, on pourra envisager des moyens d'immobilisation s'enclenchant automatiquement lorsqu'une poussée importante est effectuée sur le fer reposant sur la surface de repos, les moyens d'immobilisation pouvant être semblables à ceux utilisés pour les fixations de chaussures de ski.In yet another alternative embodiment, it is possible to envisage locking means automatically engaging when a large thrust is made on the iron resting on the resting surface, the immobilizing means being similar to those used for ski boot bindings.
