PERFECTIONNEIMPROVED
La présente invention se rapporte à un fer à repasser comportant un corps surmontant une semelle chauffante alimentée en électricité ou en vapeur par un cordon, la partie supérieure du corps comportant une poignée de manipulation liée par son extrémité arrière à deux bras s'étendant de façon sensiblement symétrique, en s'écartant, pour former un talon sur lequel peut reposer le fer et se rapporte plus particulièrement à un fer comportant un dispositif guide cordon permettant de déporter la sortie de cordon.The present invention relates to an iron having a body surmounting a heating soleplate supplied with electricity or steam by a cord, the upper part of the body having a handling handle connected by its rear end with two arms extending so substantially symmetrical, apart, to form a heel on which the iron can rest and relates more particularly to an iron having a cord guide device for deporting the cord outlet.
Il est connu de la demande de brevet, FR 05 09546 déposée par la demanderesse, un fer comportant un talon formé par deux bras s'étendant symétriquement en s'écartant depuis la poignée et comprenant un dispositif guide cordon télescopique, disposé dans l'espace ouverb entre les bras, permettant de déporter le cordon sur une grande longueur lorsque le dispositif télescopique est déployé tout en pouvant présenter une longueur réduite pour son rangement.It is known from the patent application FR 05 09546 filed by the applicant, an iron having a heel formed by two arms extending symmetrically away from the handle and comprising a guide device telescopic cord, arranged in space open between the arms, allowing to deport the cord over a large length when the telescopic device is deployed while being able to have a reduced length for storage.
Cependant, une telle solution présente l'inconvénient d'occuper l'espace ménagé entre les bras du talon de sorte qu'une telle solution est difficilement utilisable sur un fer comportant un réservoir dont l'orifice de remplissage est disposé sur l'arrière du fer au milieu du talon.However, such a solution has the disadvantage of occupying the space between the arms of the heel so that such a solution is difficult to use on an iron having a reservoir whose filling port is disposed on the back of the iron in the middle of the heel.
Aussi, un but de la présente invention est de remédier à ces inconvénients en proposant un fer à repasser muni d'un dispositif guide cordon présentant un encombrement réduit en permettant notamment de ne pas obstruer la partie centrale du fer.Also, an object of the present invention is to overcome these disadvantages by providing an iron with a cord guide device having a small footprint including allowing not to obstruct the central portion of the iron.
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, pourvu d'un dispositif guide cordon donnant une orientation préférentielle au cordon à la sortie du corps, caractérisé en ce que 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. Une telle caractéristique présente l'avantage d'offrir une structure solide supportant la sortie de cordon, cette dernière pouvant être facilement déportée par le basculement de l'arche pour éviter que le cordon ne gène l'utilisateur lors du repassage. Une telle caractéristique présente également l'avantage de laisser un espace libre entre les branches de l'arche dans lequel peut être ménagé un autre élément du fer.For this purpose, the subject of the invention is an iron comprising a body connected to a cord, such as an electric power cord, provided with a cord guide device giving a preferential orientation to the cord at the exit of the body, characterized in that 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. Such a feature has the advantage of providing a solid structure supporting the cord outlet, the latter can be easily offset by the tilting of the arch to prevent the cord does not interfere with the user during ironing. Such a feature also has the advantage of leaving a free space between the branches of the arch in which may be formed another element of the iron.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, l'arche est montée pivotante entre une position repliée dans laquelle l'arche est sensiblement intégrée dans le corps du fer et une position déployée dans laquelle l'arche s'écarte du corps du fer.According to another characteristic of the invention, the arch is pivotally mounted between a folded position in which the arch is substantially integrated into the body of the iron and an extended position in which the arch departs from the body of the iron.
Selon encore une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le cordon pénètre dans l'arche au sommet de cette dernière.According to yet another characteristic of the invention, the cord enters the arch at the top of the latter.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le cordon pénètre dans l'arche au niveau d'une ouverture recevant un élément guide cordon souple enveloppant le cordon à la sortie de l'arche.According to another characteristic of the invention, the cord enters the arch at an opening receiving a flexible cord guide element wrapping the cord at the exit of the arch.
Une telle caractéristique permet d'augmenter la longueur sur laquelle le cordon est maintenu.Such a characteristic makes it possible to increase the length on which the cord is held.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, l'élément guide cordon souple est articulé au moyen d'une rotule sur l'arche. Une telle caractéristique permet de modifier l'orientation du cordon à la sortie de l'arche.According to another characteristic of the invention, the flexible cord guide element is articulated by means of a ball joint on the arch. Such a characteristic makes it possible to modify the orientation of the cord at the exit of the arch.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le corps du fer comporte un talon sur lequel il peut reposer lors des phases inactives de repassage et l'arche présente une forme épousant le contour de la partie supérieure du talon. Une telle caractéristique permet une parfaite intégration de l'arche dans la partie arrière du fer.According to another characteristic of the invention, the body of the iron has a heel on which it can rest during the inactive ironing phases and the arch has a shape matching the contour of the upper part of the heel. Such a characteristic allows a perfect integration of the arch in the rear part of the iron.
Selon encore une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le fer comporte une poignée de manipulation liée par son extrémité arrière au talon du fer, ce dernier comportant deux bras s'étendant de façon sensiblement symétrique par rapport au plan médian du fer, en s'écartant depuis la poignée, l'arche étant articulée sur les bras du talon.According to yet another characteristic of the invention, the iron comprises a handle connected by its rear end to the heel of the iron, the latter comprising two arms extending substantially symmetrically with respect to the median plane of the iron, in s' away from the handle, the arch being articulated on the heel arms.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, l'arche est montée pivotante sur des charnières disposées sensiblement à mi-hauteur des bras du talon.According to another characteristic of the invention, the arch is pivotally mounted on hinges disposed substantially at mid-height of the heel arms.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, les deux bras ménagent un espace entre eux dans lequel est disposé un orifice de remplissage d'un réservoir intégré dans le corps du fer.According to another characteristic of the invention, the two arms provide a space between them in which is disposed a filling orifice of a tank integrated in the body of the iron.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, en position déployée, l'arche forme un angle par rapport au plan du talon compris entre 30° et 60°.According to another characteristic of the invention, in the deployed position, the arch forms an angle with respect to the plane of the heel between 30 ° and 60 °.
On comprendra mieux les buts, aspects et avantages de la présente invention, d'après la description donnée ci-après d'un mode particulier de réalisation de l'invention présenté à titre d'exemple non limitatif, en se référant aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :The aims, aspects and advantages of the present invention will be better understood from the description given below of a particular embodiment of the invention presented by way of non-limiting example, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which :
- la figure 1 est une vue de côté d'un fer à repasser comportant un dispositif guide cordon selon un mode particulier de réalisation de l'invention, le dispositif guide cordon étant dans sa position repliée ;- Figure 1 is a side view of an iron comprising a cord guide device according to a particular embodiment of the invention, the cord guide device being in its folded position;

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. Les figures 1 et 2 représentent un fer à repasser comportant un corps 1 en matière plastique renfermant classiquement un réservoir d'eau et surmontant une semelle 2 chauffée par une résistance électrique, cette dernière étant alimentée électriquement au moyen d'un cordon 3 dont l'extrémité est munie d'une prise, non représentée sur les figures, permettant sont raccordement au réseau électrique.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. Figures 1 and 2 show an iron comprising a body 1 of plastic typically containing a water tank and surmounting a sole 2 heated by an electrical resistance, the latter being electrically powered by means of a cord 3, the end is provided with a plug, not shown in the figures, allowing connection to the electrical network.
Conformément à la figure 2, le corps 1 comporte une poignée 10 qui est reliée à un talon sur lequel le fer peut reposer pendant les phases inactives de repassage, le talon étant constitué par deux bras 11 s'étendant en s'écartant depuis la poignée 10 jusqu'à une traverse 12 sensiblement parallèle au plan de la semelle de sorte que la structure obtenue est sensiblement triangulée. Les bras 11 délimitent entre eux un espace ouvert dans lequel est disposé un obturateur rotatif 4 masquant un orifice de remplissage 40 du réservoir d'eau, représenté en trait mixte sur la figure 2. Plus particulièrement selon l'invention, le fer comporte un dispositif guide cordon 5 permettant d'orienter le cordon 3 selon une direction préférentielle.According to Figure 2, the body 1 comprises a handle 10 which is connected to a heel on which the iron can rest during the inactive ironing phases, the heel being constituted by two arms 11 extending away from the handle 10 to a cross member 12 substantially parallel to the plane of the sole so that the resulting structure is substantially triangulated. The arms 11 delimit between them an open space in which is disposed a rotary shutter 4 masking a filling orifice 40 of the water tank, shown in phantom in Figure 2. More particularly according to the invention, the iron comprises a device guide cord 5 for orienting the cord 3 in a preferred direction.
Conformément aux figures 3 à 6, ce dispositif guide cordon 5 comporte une arche 50, supportant le cordon 3, qui est articulée à chacune de ses extrémités aux bras 11 du talon. Comme on peut mieux le voir sur la figure 6, représentant le fer avec sa partie arrière éclatée, l'arche 50 est articulée sur des charnières constituées d'un palier 60 porté par chaque extrémité de l'arche 50 dans lequel pénètre un axe 61 porté par les bras 11 du talon.According to FIGS. 3 to 6, this cord guide device 5 comprises an arch 50, supporting the cord 3, which is articulated at each of its ends to the arms 11 of the heel. As can be seen more clearly in FIG. 6, representing the iron with its exploded rear part, the arch 50 is articulated on hinges consisting of a bearing 60 carried by each end of the arch 50 into which an axis 61 penetrates. carried by the arms 11 of the heel.
De manière préférentielle, les axes 61 de la charnière sont disposés sensiblement à mi-hauteur des bras 11 et l'arche 50 épouse la forme de la partie supérieure des bras 11 de telle sorte que l'arche 50 peut basculer d'une position repliée dans laquelle elle est intégrée dans un logement 12 constitué par un renfoncement formé dans la partie supérieure des bras 11 , ainsi que cela est illustré aux figures 1 et 2, vers une position déployée dans laquelle l'arche 50 est basculée vers l'arrière du fer, tel qu'illustré aux figures 3 à 5.Preferably, the shafts 61 of the hinge are disposed substantially at mid-height of the arms 11 and the arch 50 matches the shape of the upper part of the arms 11 so that the arch 50 can tilt from a folded position in which it is integrated in a housing 12 constituted by a recess formed in the upper part of the arms 11, as is illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, to an extended position in which the arch 50 is tilted towards the rear of the iron, as shown in Figures 3 to 5.
La surface arrière de l'arche 50, sur laquelle le fer repose lorsqu'il est placé sur son talon, est plane et présente avantageusement un revêtement antidérapant 53, qui vient dans le prolongement d'un revêtement anti-dérapant 70 de texture similaire porté par un cache 7 en forme de U venant fermer la partie inférieure des bras 11 et la traverse 12 formant la partie inférieure du talon du fer. Le revêtement anti-dérapant 53 présente à chacune de ses extrémités une surface biseautée 53A qui vient en buté contre une surface biseautée 7OA correspondante, formée à l'extrémité adjacente du revêtement 70 porté par le cache 7, lorsque l'arche 50 est en position déployée de sorte que cette dernière est immobilisée dans une position dans laquelle l'arche fait un angle α par rapport au bras 11 , visible sur la figure 5, proche de 45°.The rear surface of the arch 50, on which the iron rests when it is placed on its heel, is flat and advantageously has a non-slip coating 53, which is an extension of a non-slip coating 70 of similar texture worn. by a U-shaped cover 7 closing the lower part of the arms 11 and the cross member 12 forming the lower part of the heel of the iron. The non-slip coating 53 has at each of its ends a bevelled surface 53A which abuts against a corresponding beveled surface 70A, formed at the adjacent end of the coating 70 carried by the cover 7, when the arch 50 is in position deployed so that the latter is immobilized in a position in which the arch is at an angle α relative to the arm 11, visible in Figure 5, close to 45 °.
De manière préférentielle, le logement 12 recevant l'arche 50 est ouvert à son extrémité supérieure et le cordon 3 pénètre dans un orifice réalisé au sommet de l'arche 50, ce dernier venant sensiblement dans le prolongement de la surface supérieure de la poignée 10.Preferably, the housing 12 receiving the arch 50 is open at its upper end and the cord 3 enters an orifice made at the top of the arch 50, the latter coming substantially in line with the upper surface of the handle 10 .
Le cordon 3 est préférentiellement muni d'un renfort de cordon 8 souple enveloppant le cordon 3 à la sortie de l'arche 50 de manière à limiter sa flexion, l'extrémité inférieure du renfort de cordon 8 étant avantageusement munie d'une rotule 80 autorisant une rotation de ce dernier par rapport à l'arche 50. A titre d'exemple, l'arche 50 du dispositif guide cordon est réalisée dans un plastique dur, tel que du polycarbonate, et le renfort de cordon 8 est moulé dans une matière souple, tel qu'un matériau élastomère.The cord 3 is preferably provided with a flexible cord reinforcement 8 wrapping the cord 3 at the outlet of the arch 50 so as to limit its flexion, the lower end of the cord reinforcement 8 being advantageously provided with a ball 80 allowing for rotation of the latter relative to the arch 50. For example, the arch 50 of the cord guide device is made of a hard plastic, such as polycarbonate, and the cord reinforcement 8 is molded in a flexible material, such as an elastomeric material.
Le cordon 3 renferme des fils 30 qui cheminent au travers de l'arche 50 puis pénètrent dans le corps du fer par l'extrémité inférieure de l'arche 50, ainsi que cela est visible sur la figure 6, de manière à alimenter en électricité la semelle chauffante 2 du fer.The cord 3 contains threads 30 that travel through the arch 50 and then enter the body of the iron through the lower end of the arch 50, as can be seen in FIG. 6, so as to supply electricity the heating sole 2 of the iron.
Un tel dispositif guide cordon présente l'avantage de libérer totalement la partie centrale arrière du fer qui peut alors recevoir un orifice de remplissage du réservoir. En position déployée, le dispositif guide cordon permet de déporter la sortie de cordon vers l'arrière du fer, ce qui permet notamment d'éviter que le cordon ne vienne au contact du bras de l'utilisateur lorsque ce dernier saisit le fer par la poignée, mais également d'éviter que le cordon ne vienne frotter sur le bord de la table à repasser ou sur le linge lors du repassage. Enfin, un tel dispositif guide cordon présente l'avantage de permettre une sortie de cordon dans l'axe longitudinal du fer de sorte que le fer peut être utilisé avec la même ergonomie par un droitier ou un gaucher.Such a cord guide device has the advantage of completely releasing the rear central portion of the iron which can then receive a filling orifice of the reservoir. In the deployed position, the cord guide device allows to deport the cord outlet to the rear of the iron, which allows in particular to prevent the cord comes into contact with the user's arm when the latter grasps the iron by the handle, but also to prevent the cord from rubbing on the edge of the ironing board or on the laundry during ironing. Finally, such a cord guide device has the advantage of allowing a cord outlet in the longitudinal axis of the iron so that the iron can be used with the same ergonomics by a right-handed or left-handed person.
En position repliée, l'arche présente l'avantage de s'intégrer parfaitement dans le corps du fer, ce qui permet de conserver un encombrement réduit facilitant le rangement du fer. De plus, dans cette position repliée l'arche forme, avec la partie inférieure du talon, une surface plane sur laquelle le fer peut reposer de manière stable.In the folded position, the arch has the advantage of integrating perfectly into the body of the iron, which allows to keep a small footprint facilitating the storage of the iron. In addition, in this folded position the arch forms, with the lower part of the heel, a flat surface on which the iron can rest stably.
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'arche supportant le cordon pourra être réalisée dans un matériau souple.Thus in an alternative embodiment of the invention, the arch supporting the cord may be made of a flexible material.
Dans une autre variante de réalisation, il pourra être prévu un frein ou un verrou pour maintenir l'arche dans la position repliée lors du rangement du fer ou lorsque l'utilisateur ne souhaite pas bénéficier du déport du cordon. In another embodiment, it may be provided a brake or a latch to keep the arch in the folded position when storing the iron or when the user does not wish to benefit from the offset of the cord.
