Definitions

  • the invention is in the field of ironing and more specifically that of irons which comprise at least one switch associated with a function such as steam generation or blower / suction at the ironing table.
  • One of the objectives that the present invention proposes to achieve is to overcome the sensors to automate certain features.
  • the iron according to the invention comprises a sole surmounted by a body and a handle, the body comprising at least one switch associated with a function such as the generation of steam.
  • the iron according to the invention is characterized in that the handle is mounted movably relative to the body and that the switch is activatable by means of a mechanical member secured to the handle.
  • activation of the switch is meant a change of state of the switch which has the effect of activating or deactivating a feature such as the release of steam or the engagement of ventilation.
  • the handle is slidably mounted relative to the body, in a direction substantially parallel to the plane defined by the sole.
  • a simple way to achieve this variant is to use a body that includes a horizontal portion around which the handle can slide.
  • the handle is made movable relative to the body in a direction substantially perpendicular to the plane defined by the sole.
  • An embodiment of this variant is to provide the body with two vertical guides in which the ends of the handle can move.
  • Another embodiment consists in the use of a pivoting mechanical member. When the iron is lifted, the mechanical member pivots and one of its ends activates a switch.
  • the iron comprises two switches, the first switch being activatable by the movement of the handle in a direction substantially parallel to the plane defined by the sole, the second switch being activated by the movement of the handle in a direction substantially perpendicular to the plane defined by the sole.
  • the iron when the handle moves in a plane substantially parallel to that defined by the sole, the iron comprises return means for returning the handle to a basic position when the iron is at rest. Returning means may also be used to return the handle to a basic position as it moves vertically.
  • the invention also relates to an ironing system comprising an iron as defined above and means for generating steam, characterized in that the means for generating steam can be activated when the handle moves towards the front of the iron .
  • This system may also include means for activating another feature, for example a blower / suction system, characterized in that the means for activating said other feature is activatable when the handle moves in the opposite direction of the soleplate.
  • means for activating another feature for example a blower / suction system
  • these means can be activated when the handle moves towards the sole.
  • the means for generating steam can be activated when the handle moves in the direction of the sole.
  • any other feature may be used in the context of the present invention, instead of the aforementioned features or in addition.
  • the invention is characterized by the absence of sensors to achieve certain features. It is however possible to use sensors, but to realize other functionalities.
  • Iron 1 shown on the figure 1 consists of a sole 2 surmounted by a body 3 and a handle 4.
  • the handle 4 has the shape of a sleeve slidably mounted around a portion 5 of the body 3 which is arranged in a direction parallel to that formed by the plane of the sole 2.
  • a rod-shaped mechanical member 10 is attached to the rear end of the handle 4 and extends in the same direction as the latter.
  • the stroke of the mechanical member 10, and consequently of the handle 4 is limited forwards by a stop 11 which holds a retaining element 12 of the mechanical member 10.
  • Returning means 6, a spring in this case, are arranged around the mechanical member 10, between the stop 11 and the retaining element 12, so that a restoring force is exerted on the handle 4 when it moves towards the front of the iron 1.
  • the mechanical member 10 moves and compresses the spring 6.
  • the spring 6 pushes back the handle 4 in its initial position.
  • the rear portion of the body 3 comprises a switch 7 disposed in the extension of the mechanical member 10.
  • the switch 7 is shown schematically by a lever that can move between a rest position (that which is illustrated on the figure 1 ) and a so-called active position when the handle 4 has moved in the direction of the tip 8.
  • the switch 7 is connected to the solenoid valve of a steam generator so that steam is released when the handle 4 moves forward. When the handle 4 returns to its rest position, the steam stops.
  • the figure 1 also shows schematically, but partially, the possibility of moving the handle 4 in the opposite direction of the sole 2.
  • a second switch 9 is disposed under the mechanical member 10.
  • the second switch 9 may e.g. be connected to the fan. an ironing table. When lifting the iron 1, the vertical movement of the handle 4 relative to the body 3 activates the second switch 9 and the fan engages.
  • the figure 2 presents a variant of the invention, quite similar to the previous variant with respect to the horizontal displacement of the handle 4, but which differs in that the mechanical member 10 is in the form of a right angle.
  • the return means 6 are arranged in the center of the handle 4, so that a restoring force is exerted on the handle 4 when the latter moves towards the front of the iron 1.
  • the switch 7 is not arranged in the extension of the handle 4 but below it.
  • the figure 2 also schematically illustrates the possibility of moving the handle 4 in the opposite direction of the sole 2 but differently than the embodiment of the figure 1 .
  • a second switch 9 is disposed in the rear part of the body 3, under a second mechanical member 14.
  • the second switch 9 may for example be connected to the fan of an ironing table.
  • the mechanical member 14 pivots around its midpoint 15 which is fixed, compresses the return means 13 (a spring in this case), and activates the second switch 9, which has the effect of switching on the functionality, eg a fan
  • the handle does not necessarily slide around a part of the body. Any configuration making it possible to obtain a relative movement of the handle relative to the body can be envisaged as long as the handle comprises a mechanical member that can interact directly with a switch forming part of the body. Similarly, the activation mechanism of a switch according to the invention can be applied to any feature (steam generation, heating, blower, suction, etc ).
