Abstract

The iron has a body (1) connected to a power supply cord (3) and including a cord guiding device (5) that provides a preferential orientation of the cord at the output of the body. The device is articulated on the body and is tilted between a storage position in which the device is arranged against the body, and an ironing position in which the device is separated from the iron. A magnetic unit i.e. magnet (7), generates force that tends to maintain the device in the storage position when the iron is not used. The magnet is co-operated with a ferromagnetic pellet (8).

Description

La présente invention se rapporte à un fer à repasser comportant un corps relié à un cordon, tel un cordon d'alimentation électrique, et comprenant un dispositif guide cordon donnant une orientation préférentielle au cordon à la sortie du corps, et se rapporte plus particulièrement à un fer dans lequel le dispositif guide cordon est articulé sur le corps du fer et peut basculer entre une position de rangement dans laquelle le dispositif guide cordon est disposé contre le corps du fer pour réduire son encombrement et une position de repassage dans laquelle le dispositif guide cordon permet d'éloigner le cordon du corps du fer.The present invention relates to an iron having a body connected to a cord, such as a power cord, and comprising a cord guide device giving a preferential orientation to the cord at the exit of the body, and relates more particularly to an iron in which the cord guide device is articulated on the body of the iron and can switch between a storage position in which the cord guide device is disposed against the body of the iron to reduce its size and an ironing position in which the guide device cord allows to remove the cord from the body of the iron.

Il est connu des demandes de brevet, FR 05 09546 et FR 06 08621 déposées par la demanderesse, des fers à repasser comportant un dispositif guide cordon articulé sur le corps du fer et pouvant basculer entre une position de rangement, dans laquelle le dispositif guide cordon est sensiblement intégré dans le corps du fer pour réduire son encombrement et faciliter son rangement, et une position de repassage dans laquelle le cordon est davantage déporté vers l'arrière du fer pour éviter qu'il ne vienne frotter contre le linge lors du repassage.It is known from patent applications, FR 05 09546 and FR 06 08621 filed by the applicant, irons having a cord guide device articulated on the body of the iron and can switch between a storage position, wherein the cord guide device is substantially integrated into the body of the iron to reduce its size and facilitate its storage, and an ironing position in which the cord is further deported to the back of the iron to prevent it from rubbing against the laundry during ironing.

Cependant, de tels dispositifs guide cordon présentent l'inconvénient d'avoir tendance à basculer naturellement vers la position de repassage à cause du poids du cordon et du fait d'une plus grande stabilité du dispositif guide cordon dans cette position. Ainsi, lorsque l'utilisateur enroule le cordon autour du fer pour son rangement, il n'est pas rare que le dispositif guide cordon bascule naturellement en position de repassage, augmentant ainsi l'encombrement de l'appareil.However, such cord guide devices have the disadvantage of tending to naturally switch to the ironing position because of the weight of the cord and because of greater stability of the cord guide device in this position. Thus, when the user winds the cord around the iron for storage, it is not uncommon for the cord guide device naturally switches to the ironing position, thus increasing the size of the device.

Aussi, un but de la présente invention est de remédier à cet inconvénient en proposant un fer à repasser présentant des moyens de retenue du dispositif guide cordon en position de rangement qui soient très ergonomiques à utiliser et simples et économiques à réaliser.Also, an object of the present invention is to overcome this disadvantage by providing an iron having retaining means of the cord guide device in the storage position which are very ergonomic to use and simple and economical to achieve.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un fer à repasser comportant un corps relié à un cordon, tel un cordon d'alimentation électrique, et comprenant un dispositif guide cordon donnant une orientation préférentielle au cordon à la sortie du corps, le dispositif guide cordon étant articulé sur le corps du fer et pouvant basculer entre une position de rangement dans laquelle le dispositif guide cordon est disposé contre le corps du fer et une position de repassage dans laquelle le dispositif guide cordon est écarté du fer, caractérisé en ce que le fer comporte des moyens magnétiques générant une force tendant à maintenir le dispositif guide cordon en position de rangement.For this purpose, the subject of the invention is an iron comprising a body connected to a cord, such as an electric power cord, and comprising a cord guide device giving a preferential orientation to the cord at the exit of the body, the device cord guide being hinged to the body of the iron and being able to switch between a storage position in which the cord guide device is disposed against the body of the iron and an ironing position in which the cord guide device is spaced from the iron, characterized in that the iron comprises magnetic means generating a force tending to maintain the cord guide device in the storage position.

Une telle caractéristique présente l'avantage de permettre le maintien du dispositif guide cordon dans la position de rangement lorsque le fer n'est pas utilisé, tout en permettant un basculement automatique du dispositif guide cordon vers la position de repassage par une simple traction prononcée sur le cordon lors d'une session de repassage.Such a feature has the advantage of allowing the cord guide device to be maintained in the storage position when the iron is not in use, while allowing automatic tilting of the cord guide device to the ironing position by a simple pull on the cord during an ironing session.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, les moyens magnétiques sont constitués par un aimant qui coopère avec un élément ferromagnétique pour maintenir le dispositif guide cordon en position de rangement.According to another characteristic of the invention, the magnetic means are constituted by a magnet which cooperates with a ferromagnetic element to keep the cord guide device in the storage position.

Selon encore une autre caractéristique de l'invention, l'élément ferromagnétique est constitué par une vis d'assemblage du fer.According to yet another characteristic of the invention, the ferromagnetic element is constituted by an iron assembly screw.

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

  • le dispositif guide cordon comporte un manchon enveloppant le cordon à la sortie du corps du fer, le manchon étant articulé sur le corps du fer et comportant un aimant coopérant avec un élément ferromagnétique porté par le corps du fer pour maintenir le dispositif guide cordon en position de rangement.
  • le dispositif guide cordon comporte une pièce en forme d'arche supportant le cordon, l'arche étant articulée par ses extrémités sur le corps du fer, l'arche comportant une vis d'assemblage qui vient à proximité immédiate d'un aimant porté par le corps du fer lorsque l'arche est en position de rangement.
According to other particular embodiments, the iron according to the invention may comprise one or more of the following characteristics taken separately or in any technically possible combination:
  • the cord guide device comprises a sleeve wrapping the cord at the outlet of the body of the iron, the sleeve being articulated on the body of the iron and having a magnet cooperating with a ferromagnetic element carried by the body of the iron to maintain the cord guide device in position storage.
  • the cord guide device comprises an arch-shaped piece supporting the cord, the arch being hinged at its ends to the body of the iron, the arch having an assembly screw which comes in the immediate vicinity of a magnet carried by the iron body when the arch is in position storage.

On comprendra mieux les buts, aspects et avantages de la présente invention, d'après la description donnée ci-après de plusieurs exemples de réalisation de l'invention présentés à titre d'exemples non limitatifs, en se référant aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :

  • Les figures 1 et 2 sont des vues en perspective d'un fer à repasser selon un premier mode particulier de réalisation de l'invention ;

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 the understanding of the invention have been represented. To facilitate the reading of the drawings, the same elements bear the same references from one figure to another.

Les figures 1 et 2 représentent un premier mode de réalisation d'un fer à repasser selon l'invention. Ce fer à repasser comporte, de manière connue en soi, un corps 1 surmontant une semelle 2 chauffée par une résistance électrique, cette dernière étant alimentée en électricité et en vapeur au moyen d'un cordon 3 relié à un générateur de vapeur séparé, non représenté sur les figures.The Figures 1 and 2 represent a first embodiment of an iron according to the invention. This iron comprises, in a manner known per se, a body 1 surmounting a sole 2 heated by an electrical resistance, the latter being supplied with electricity and steam by means of a cord 3 connected to a separate steam generator, no shown in the figures.

Conformément à la figure 1, le corps 1 comporte une poignée qui est reliée à l'arrière du fer par deux bras 4 délimitant entre eux un espace ouvert muni d'une ouverture où le cordon 3 d'alimentation électrique pénètre à l'intérieur du corps 1.In accordance with the figure 1 , the body 1 comprises a handle which is connected to the rear of the iron by two arms 4 defining between them an open space provided with an opening where the power cord 3 enters the interior of the body 1.

La sortie de cordon du corps 1 comprend un dispositif guide cordon 5 comportant un manchon 50 en matériau plastique rigide s'étendant autour du cordon 3, le dispositif guide cordon 5 comprenant une rallonge 51 en matériau plastique souple coulissant à l'intérieur du manchon 50 et permettant de faire varier la longueur sur laquelle le cordon est supporté par le dispositif guide cordon 5.The cord outlet of the body 1 comprises a cord guide device 5 comprising a sleeve 50 of rigid plastic material extending around the cord 3, the cord guide device 5 comprising an extension 51 of flexible plastic material sliding inside the sleeve 50 and allowing to vary the length on which the cord is supported by the guide device cord 5.

Le manchon 50 est articulé à son extrémité inférieure et peut pivoter entre une position de rangement, illustrée à la figure 1, dans laquelle le manchon 50 est accolé contre le corps 1 du fer pour minimiser son encombrement, et une position de repassage, illustrée à la figure 2, dans laquelle le manchon 50 est basculé vers l'arrière afin de repousser la chute du cordon 3 loin derrière le fer.The sleeve 50 is articulated at its lower end and can pivot between a storage position, illustrated in FIG. figure 1 , in which the sleeve 50 is pressed against the body 1 of the iron to minimize its bulk, and an ironing position, illustrated in FIG. figure 2 , in which the sleeve 50 is tilted back to repel the fall of the cord 3 far behind the iron.

De manière avantageuse, l'arrière du fer comporte une encoche de réception 6 dans laquelle le manchon 50 vient s'engager en position de rangement afin de permettre une meilleure intégration du dispositif guide cordon dans le corps 1 du fer.Advantageously, the rear of the iron has a receiving notch 6 in which the sleeve 50 is engaged in the storage position to allow better integration of the cord guide device in the body 1 of the iron.

Plus particulièrement selon l'invention, le fer à repasser comporte des moyens magnétiques générant une force d'attraction tendant à maintenir le manchon 50 en position de rangement.More particularly according to the invention, the iron comprises magnetic means generating an attractive force tending to maintain the sleeve 50 in the storage position.

Ces moyens magnétiques sont avantageusement constitués par un aimant 7 disposé au niveau de l'encoche de réception 6 qui interagit avec une pastille 8 ferromagnétique portée par le manchon 50, à l'endroit venant en vis-à-vis de l'aimant 7 lorsque le manchon 50 est rangé dans l'encoche 6. A titre d'exemple, l'aimant 7 et la pastille 8 peuvent être collés respectivement sur le corps 1 du fer et sur le manchon 50 ou être intégrés directement lors du moulage de ces pièces plastiques.These magnetic means are advantageously constituted by a magnet 7 disposed at the level of the receiving notch 6 which interacts with a ferromagnetic chip 8 carried by the sleeve 50, at the place coming opposite the magnet 7 when the sleeve 50 is stored in the notch 6. For example, the magnet 7 and the pellet 8 can be glued respectively on the body 1 of the iron and on the sleeve 50 or be integrated directly during the molding of these parts plastics.

Le fer à repasser ainsi réalisé présente l'avantage de posséder une très grande ergonomie d'utilisation, le verrouillage magnétique du dispositif guide cordon permettant de maintenir ce dernier en position de rangement lorsque l'utilisateur souhaite ranger le fer. De plus, un tel dispositif guide cordon présente l'avantage de basculer vers la position de repassage par une simple traction vers l'arrière sur le dispositif guide cordon, ce qui permet d'obtenir un basculement automatique du dispositif guide cordon vers la position de repassage durant une séance du repassage, dès lors qu'une traction est exercée sur le cordon.The iron thus produced has the advantage of having a very great ergonomics of use, the magnetic locking of the cord guide device to maintain it in the storage position when the user wants to store the iron. In addition, such a cord guide device has the advantage of switching to the ironing position by simply pulling backwards on the cord guide device, which makes it possible to obtain automatic tilting of the cord guide device towards the position of ironing during an ironing session, when a pull is exerted on the cord.

Les figures 3 à 5 représentent un second mode de réalisation d'un fer à repasser selon l'invention, dans lequel le fer comporte un corps 101 en matière plastique renfermant un réservoir d'eau et surmontant une semelle 102 chauffée par une résistance électrique, cette dernière étant alimentée électriquement au moyen d'un cordon 103 dont l'extrémité est munie d'une prise, non représentée sur les figures, permettant son raccordement au réseau électrique.The Figures 3 to 5 represent a second embodiment of an iron according to the invention, in which the iron comprises a body 101 made of plastic containing a water reservoir and surmounting a soleplate 102 heated by an electrical resistance, the latter being electrically powered by means of a cord 103 whose end is provided with a plug, not shown in the figures, for its connection to the electricity grid.

Le fer comporte un talon comprenant deux bras 104 délimitant entre eux un espace ouvert dans lequel est disposé un obturateur rotatif masquant un orifice de remplissage 110 du réservoir d'eau, représenté en trait mixte sur la figure 4.The iron comprises a heel comprising two arms 104 delimiting between them an open space in which is disposed a rotary shutter masking a filling orifice 110 of the water tank, shown in dashed line on the figure 4 .

Le fer comporte un dispositif guide cordon 105 comprenant un manchon souple 151 enveloppant la sortie de cordon qui est monté rotatif au sommet d'une arche 150 articulée sur les bras 104 du talon. L'arche 150 peut basculer d'une position de rangement, dans laquelle l'arche 150 est intégrée dans un renfoncement 106 dans la partie supérieure des bras 104, ainsi que cela est illustré à la figure 4, vers une position de repassage dans laquelle l'arche 150 est basculée vers l'arrière du fer, tel qu'illustré aux figures 3 et 5.The iron comprises a cord guide device 105 comprising a flexible sleeve 151 enveloping the cord outlet which is rotatably mounted at the top of an arch 150 articulated on the arms 104 of the heel. The arch 150 can swing from a storage position, in which the arch 150 is integrated into a recess 106 in the upper part of the arms 104, as shown in FIG. figure 4 towards an ironing position in which the arch 150 is tilted towards the rear of the iron, as illustrated in FIG. Figures 3 and 5 .

En position de repassage, le dispositif guide cordon 105 permet de déporter la sortie de cordon vers l'arrière du fer, ce qui permet notamment d'éviter que le cordon 103 ne vienne frotter sur le bord de la table à repasser ou sur le linge lors du repassage. En position de rangement, l'arche 150 présente l'avantage d'être intégrée au corps 101 du fer, ce qui permet de conserver un encombrement réduit facilitant le rangement du fer. De plus, dans cette position de rangement, l'arche 150 forme, avec la partie inférieure du talon, une surface plane sur laquelle le fer peut reposer de manière stable.In the ironing position, the guide device cord 105 allows to deport the cord outlet towards the rear of the iron, which in particular prevents the cord 103 from rubbing on the edge of the ironing board or on the laundry during ironing. In the storage position, the arch 150 has the advantage of being integrated in the body 101 of the iron, which allows to keep a small footprint facilitating the storage of the iron. In addition, in this storage position, the arch 150 forms, with the lower part of the heel, a flat surface on which the iron can rest stably.

Conformément à l'invention, l'arche 150 comporte une vis d'assemblage 108 en matériau ferromagnétique qui vient à proximité immédiate d'un aimant 107 disposé dans le renfoncement 106 du talon lorsque l'arche 150 est en position de rangement, de manière à ce que l'attraction magnétique générée par l'aimant 107 sur la vis 108 maintienne l'arche 150 en position de rangement. De manière préférentielle, l'aimant 107 est immobilisé par collage ou en étant pris en sandwich entre deux pièces d'assemblage du corps 101 du fer.According to the invention, the arch 150 comprises an assembly screw 108 of ferromagnetic material which comes in the immediate vicinity of a magnet 107 disposed in the recess 106 of the heel when the arch 150 is in the storage position, so the magnetic attraction generated by the magnet 107 on the screw 108 keeps the arch 150 in the storage position. Preferably, the magnet 107 is immobilized by gluing or by being sandwiched between two assembly parts of the body 101 of the iron.

Le fer à repasser ainsi réalisé présente l'avantage de posséder un système de retenue magnétique du dispositif guide cordon en position de rangement qui coopère avec une vis d'assemblage du fer de sorte que le nombre de composants et donc le coût nécessaire au dispositif de retenue magnétique est réduit.The iron thus produced has the advantage of having a magnetic retention system of the cord guide device in the storage position which cooperates with a screw assembly of the iron so that the number of components and therefore the cost necessary for the magnetic retainer is reduced.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est nullement limitée aux modes de réalisation décrits et illustrés qui n'ont été donnés 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 described and illustrated embodiments which have 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 de l'invention, l'aimant pourra être porté par le dispositif guide cordon et coopérer avec un élément ferromagnétique porté par le corps du fer.Thus, in an alternative embodiment of the invention, the magnet may be carried by the cord guide device and cooperate with a ferromagnetic element carried by the body of the iron.
