Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an apparatus for ironing or degreasing the laundry and more particularly to an apparatus of this type comprising a device for spreading an additive on the laundry.
  • EP-A-1 449 911 discloses an aqueous composition comprising microcapsules containing active components that facilitate the ironing of the treated textile.
  • EP-A-1,582,620 which is a relevant document under Article 54 (3) EPC, describes an ironing appliance with an additive tank with microcapsules dissolved in a liquid.
  • US-A-5,966,831 describes a substrate with microcapsules, this substrate is intended to be used in a drum of a dryer.
  • US-B-6,351,901 can be considered as the document of the state of the art closest to the invention.
  • This document discloses an iron with an additive reservoir provided with a hair wick impregnated with additive and swept by a stream of vapor exiting a conduit so that the additive is transported by steam outside the iron.
  • Such a device for spreading an additive has the disadvantage of having an additive reservoir which is largely open to the flow of air so that the additive diffuses out of the apparatus even when the latter is not not used. It follows a rapid depletion of the effectiveness of the additive and excessive diffusion of the additive at the location where the device is stored, which can generate nuisance especially when the additive is a fragrance.
  • an object of the present invention is to overcome these disadvantages.
  • the subject of the invention is an apparatus for ironing or degreasing laundry comprising a device for spreading an additive on the laundry comprising a additive reservoir, characterized in that the additive reservoir comprises a substrate which supports microcapsules and in that the microcapsules of the substrate are progressively carried away by a flow of fluid emitted by the device for spreading the additive on the laundry, the flow carrying the microcapsules outside the device.
  • Such a characteristic makes it possible to obtain a microcapsule reservoir in solid form which can be easily handled or transported and which has the advantage of being easily adaptable to many devices.
  • the membrane of the microcapsules is preferably made of a material that is chemically compatible with the materials of the device used for spread the additive.
  • chemically compatible material is meant a material which does not noticeably degrade the materials of the device for spreading the additive over the lifetime of the device.
  • the microencapsulation of the additive has the advantage of eliminating the direct contact between the additive and the elements of the device for spreading the additive, which makes it possible to reduce the problems of chemical aggression or clogging related to the nature of the additive. the additive.
  • microencapsulation also has the advantage of preventing the additive from losing its effect when the reservoir of additive is subjected to high temperatures.
  • microencapsulation of the additive has the advantage of avoiding diffusion into the atmosphere of the additive during storage or when it is spread by means of a spraying device. This prevents the user from inhaling the additive.
  • the microcapsules are bonded or impregnated on the substrate.
  • the apparatus is a steam apparatus and the device for spreading the additive is a spraying device using the driving force of the steam.
  • Such a characteristic has the advantage of making it possible to obtain a powerful low-cost sprayer, the encapsulation of the additive making it possible to very strongly limit the emission into the atmosphere of the additive inherent in the spray.
  • the substrate is a textile impregnated with microcapsules and the spraying device comprises means for sending a stream of vapor through the textile.
  • the substrate is a grid on which microcapsules are glued and the spray device comprises means for sending a stream of vapor through the grid.
  • the additive contained in the microcapsules comprises a fragrance or an anti-odor active principle, such as undecylenic acid.
  • the reservoir is removable from the iron.
  • Such a feature makes it easy to fill the tank or exchange it quickly for another.
  • the invention also relates to a removable reservoir for equipping an apparatus for ironing or degreasing the laundry as described above, characterized in that it contains at least one additive packaged in the form of microcapsules, said microcapsules being supported by a substrate.
  • the microcapsules are bonded or impregnated on the substrate.
  • the substrate is a textile impregnated with microcapsules.
  • the substrate is a grid on which microcapsules are glued.
  • FIGS. 1 to 3 represent a particular embodiment of the invention in which the invention is applied to an apparatus that can be used for de-wrinkling textiles by the sole emission of steam, that is to say without there being contact of a warm sole with textile, for example to improve the appearance of fragile curtains.
  • the apparatus illustrated in these figures is similar to that described in the patent application FR 2 822 480 and conventionally comprises a plastic body 1 forming a handle and a metal sole, not visible in the figures, in thermal relation with a heating body in which a vaporization chamber is formed.
  • a removable water tank not shown, is housed inside the handle. The water is propelled into the vaporization chamber by a manual pump actuated by pressure on a control 4, the steam escaping through orifices 2 distributed on the sole.
  • the sole is covered by a plastic accessory 10 forming an envelope surrounding the sole of the iron and preventing the hot sole of the iron comes into direct contact with the textile.
  • the accessory 10 has a passage 11 whose surface is in correspondence with the iron vapor outlet openings 2 and has a rib 12 supporting a row of tufts of bristles constituting a brush 13.
  • the accessory 10 is removably attached to the body 1 of the iron, in a manner known per se, for example by snapping. Inside the accessory, around the passage 11, a bead carrying a seal ensures vapor tightness when the accessory is mounted on the iron.
  • the iron receives an additive tank 20 removably mounted opposite the outlet openings 2 of steam of the sole, the tank 20 having a frame 21 supporting a vapor-permeable substrate 22 on which are glued or impregnated microcapsules additives.
  • the support frame 21 engages laterally in grooves 14 made on the inner edge of the rib 12 supporting the brush 13 and is immobilized in position by elastic bosses.
  • the substrate 22 is preferably placed at a distance of about 5 mm from the outlet orifices 2 to obtain a distribution of the vapor over the entire substrate 22.
  • the substrate 22 is preferably constituted by a tissue soaked with microcapsules or by a metal gate on which the microcapsules are glued.
  • the substrate 22 may thus be constituted by a lattice formed of wool strands supported by the support frame 21 and impregnated with a solution of additive microcapsules.
  • microcapsules are preferably constituted by capsules with polymer walls having a diameter of a few micrometers and are prepared according to a method 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, for example, be made of melamine-formaldehyde.
  • the adhesive power of the adhesive or the impregnating liquid is advantageously chosen so that the microcapsules remain attached to the substrate 22 when the latter is at ambient temperature but become detached from the substrate 22 when subjected to a stream of vapor .
  • the additive reservoir 20 thus formed can be used several times by the user, until the microcapsules contained in the substrate 22.
  • Such an additive reservoir has the advantage of being able to be stored without there being significant emanations of the additive.
  • the additive reservoir can therefore be stored for a long time without there being a significant depletion of the effectiveness of the additive and without environmental pollution problem.
  • the microencapsulation of the additive also has the advantage of avoiding the clogging of the substrate that could cause the nature of the additive and thermally protect the additive when it is swept by the vapor flow, which allows to maintain its integrity.
