Definitions

  • the present invention relates to irons.
  • steam irons include internal reservoirs to hold liquid water for boiling to create steam.
  • a user needs to replace the water in the reservoir as it is used up during ironing.
  • a filling hole is provided in liquid communication with the reservoir.
  • the filling hole can be located on the handle of the iron so that it is above the reservoir in normal use when the iron is horizontal for ironing and when the iron is generally vertical, stood on its rear when awaiting use. This has the advantage that during normal use, water will not tend to run out of the reservoir and so a valve arrangement is not required.
  • An iron comprising a large filling funnel.
  • the funnel is large in that the cross-sectional area of the opening is large.
  • the cross-sectional area of the opening it is the plane of the opening that is referred to not the total internal surface area of the funnel.
  • the surface area is at least 30cm 2 , more suitably at least 50 cm 2 , preferably at least 75 cm 2 , more preferably at least 100cm 2 and most preferably at least 110cm 2 .
  • the funnel is large in that the volume of the funnel is large.
  • the volume of the funnel is at least 30cm 3 , more suitably at least 50 cm 3 , preferably at least 75 cm 3 , more preferably at least 100cm 3 , even more preferably at least 110cm 2 and most preferably 120cm 3 .
  • the funnel can be large in both the surface area of its opening and in having a large volume. This provides a synergistic effect in that the flow rate of water in to the iron water reservoir can be high because of the large opening and overflow need not be of concern because of the large volume of the funnel.
  • the funnel is at the rear of the iron.
  • the funnel forms a stand.
  • the iron further comprises a reservoir in liquid communication with the funnel.
  • a valve between the funnel and the reservoir, which valve is operable between an open and a closed position.
  • the valve is biased to the closed position. The valve enables the reservoir to be completely filled without the risk of leakage.
  • the exterior of the funnel forms a channel to receive a power chord. This enables the exterior of the funnel to function as a chord-wind.
  • the exit hole of the funnel is at least 1cm across.
  • an iron 2 comprising a main body 4 and a large funnel 6 at the rear of the iron 2.
  • the main body 4 except for the absence of a filling hole and the presence of a valve trigger 8, is substantially similar to a common steam iron and so will only be described briefly.
  • the iron 2 comprises a sole plate 10 on the bottom of the iron 2, a handle 12 at the top of the iron 2, a controller 14, steam buttons 16, 18 and a power chord (only part shown) 20.
  • the iron 2 comprises a water reservoir 22 from which extends a tube 24 in liquid communication with the funnel 6. Between the funnel 6 and tube 24 is a valve 26 operable by the valve trigger 8 by a connecting rod 28. The valve 26 is biased to the closed position by a spring 30.
  • the funnel 6 shown in Figures 1-7 has an opening 32 into which water can be poured, that is 13cm high and 13cm wide at its widest.
  • the surface area of the opening is approximately 113cm 2 .
  • the surfaces 34, 36, 38 of the funnel 6 are shaped to provide a generally concave exterior 40 to the funnel 6 providing a suitable chord-wind.
  • a user can fill the water reservoir 22 from a tap, so a jug is not required, and does not need a maximum fill marker because the reservoir 22 can be overfilled, with the excess staying in the funnel 6.
  • the valve trigger 8 is activated by the user to open the valve 26.
  • the reservoir 22 is then filled from a tap. Since the funnel 6 has a large volume, a user has plenty of time to turn off the filling tap before it overflows.
  • the valve trigger 8 is released to allow the valve to close.
  • the excess water is in the funnel 6 and can be discarded at the user's convenience, typically into the sink associated with the tap being used to fill the reservoir 22.
  • the opening 32 of the funnel 6 forms a stand for the iron 2 when it is in a generally vertical position.
  • Figures 8A-8G of the accompanying drawings show alternative funnel positions.
  • Figure 8A shows a funnel in the top of the iron 2.
  • Figure 8B shows a rear filling option which is a minor modification of that shown in Figures 1-7 .
  • Figure 8c shows an under-handle fill position.
  • Figure 8D shows an angled fill position.
  • Figure 8E shows an underside fill position.
  • Figure 8F shows a front fill variant.
  • Figure 8G shows an under-handle fill option offset to one side.
  • Figures 9A-9H of the accompanying drawings show alternative funnel types.
  • Figure 9A shows a detachable funnel.
  • Figure 9B shows a funnel with a cover or door.
  • Figure 9C shows a flexible material that can be deformed to create a funnel.
  • Figure 9D shows an extending funnel and tube.
  • Figure 9E shows a rotatable funnel.
  • Figure 9F shows a pull-out funnel.
  • Figure 9G shows an open-out funnel.
  • Figure 9H shows a screw-cap fitting particularly for distilled water bottles.
  • Figures 10A-10I of the accompanying drawings show alternative funnel shapes, by frontal profile.
  • Figure 10A shows a square funnel.
  • Figure 10B shows an arch-shaped funnel.
  • Figure 10C shows a generally triangular funnel with arcuate sides.
  • Figure 10D shows a triangular funnel.
  • Figure 10E shows a rectangular funnel.
  • Figure 10F shows a circular funnel.
  • Figure 10G shows an elliptical funnel.
  • Figure 10H shows a rhomboid shaped funnel.
  • Figure 10I shows an octagonally shaped funnel.
  • Figures 11A-11F of the accompanying drawings show alternative funnel hole positions.
  • Figure 11A shows the hole higher than central.
  • Figure 11B shows the hole lower than central.
  • Figure 11C shows the hole to the left of and higher than central.
  • Figure 11D shows the hole to the right of and higher than central.
  • Figure 11E shows the hole lower than central and lower than shown in Figure 11B.
  • Figure 11F shows the hole higher than central and higher than is shown in Figure 11A .
  • Figures 12A-12D show alternative hole numbers and layouts.
  • Figure 12A shows a single hole.
  • Figure 12B shows three holes in a line.
  • Figure 12C shows four hols in a square arrangement.
  • Figure 12D shows six holes in a rectangular arrangement.
  • Figures 13A-13G of the accompanying drawings show alternative funnel side profiles and appearances.
  • Figure 13A shows a straight profile.

  • Figure 13D shows a stepped profile.
  • Figure 13E shows a spiral surface.
  • Figure 13F shows a series of vertical ribs on the funnel.
  • Figure 13G shows a series of horizontal ribs on the funnel.
  • Figures 14A-14D of the accompanying drawings show alternative valve designs.
  • Figures 14A and 14B show a trigger valve.
  • Figure 14C shows a non-return valve.
  • Figure 14D shows an interference fit, plug and screw type valve.
