Les figures 1 à 3 représentent un appareil de repassage à la vapeur comportant une base 1 pour la génération de vapeur reliée par un conduit flexible 2 à une brosse de défroissage 3 comportant des trous pour l'émission de vapeur, la base 1 comportant, de manière connue en soi, un réservoir d'eau 10 relié à une chambre d'ébullition, non représentée sur les figures, permettant la production en continu d'un flux de vapeur saturée en eau, la chambre d'ébullition étant reliée directement au conduit flexible 2 de manière à ce que la vapeur produite par la chambre d'ébullition puisse s'échapper librement vers la brosse de défroissage 3.The Figures 1 to 3 represent a steam ironing apparatus comprising a base 1 for steam generation connected by a flexible conduit 2 to a steam brush 3 having holes for the emission of steam, the base 1 comprising, in a manner known per se, a water tank 10 connected to a boiling chamber, not shown in the figures, for the continuous production of a saturated steam flow of water, the boiling chamber being connected directly to the flexible duct 2 so as to that the steam produced by the boiling chamber can freely escape to the steaming brush 3.

Une telle base 1 pour la génération de vapeur est bien connue de l'homme du métier et est par exemple techniquement semblable à la base pour la génération de vapeur décrite en détails dans la demande de brevet WO 2004/023957 .Such a base 1 for steam generation is well known to those skilled in the art and is for example technically similar to the base for steam generation described in detail in the patent application. WO 2004/023957 .

Conformément à la figure 1, la base 1 comporte un mât 11 comprenant trois tronçons télescopiques et comprenant une extrémité supérieure supportant un cintre 4 sur lequel du linge à défroisser peut être disposé, le cintre 4 comportant avantageusement une échancrure 40 à son sommet qui forme un logement de réception pour la brosse de défroissage 3.In accordance with the figure 1 , the base 1 comprises a mast 11 comprising three telescopic sections and comprising an upper end supporting a hanger 4 on which laundry to be straightened can be arranged, the hanger 4 advantageously having a notch 40 at its top which forms a receiving housing for the Steam brush 3.

Plus particulièrement selon l'invention, et conformément à la figure 2, la base 1 comporte également une surface 50 de repassage servant de surface d'appui pour le vêtement à repasser lorsque le vêtement est traité au moyen de la brosse de défroissage 3. La surface de repassage est constituée par une surface 50 souple qui est maintenue déployée entre deux éléments de maintien 51, 52 disposés en bordure de la surface 50 et qui est avantageusement constituée par un rideau 50 rectangulaire en tissu monté sur un dispositif de rangement 5 comprenant un tube 52 disposé à la base du cintre 4, le tube 52 étant monté mobile en rotation sur le cintre 4.More particularly according to the invention, and in accordance with figure 2 the base 1 also comprises an ironing surface 50 serving as a support surface for the garment to be ironed when the garment is treated by means of the steaming brush 3. The ironing surface is constituted by a flexible surface 50 which is maintained deployed between two holding elements 51, 52 disposed at the edge of the surface 50 and which is advantageously constituted by a rectangular fabric curtain 50 mounted on a storage device 5 comprising a tube 52 arranged at the base of the hanger 4, the tube 52 being rotatably mounted on the hanger 4.

Le tube 52 constitue l'un des deux éléments de maintien sur lequel une extrémité longitudinale du rideau 50 est fixée, l'autre élément de maintien étant constitué par une réglette transversale 51 disposée à l'autre extrémité longitudinale du rideau 50, le tube 52 comporte des moyens de rappel automatique du rideau dans une position de rangement illustrée sur les figures 1 et 5 dans laquelle le rideau 50 est entièrement enroulé autour du tube 52.The tube 52 constitutes one of the two holding elements on which one longitudinal end of the curtain 50 is fixed, the other holding element being constituted by a transverse strip 51 disposed at the other longitudinal end of the curtain 50, the tube 52 comprises means for automatically returning the curtain to a storage position illustrated on the figures 1 and 5 wherein the curtain 50 is entirely wrapped around the tube 52.

Les moyens de rappel automatique du tube 52 sont avantageusement constitués par un ressort 53 hélicoïdal et seront, par exemple, semblables aux moyens de rappel décrits dans la demande de brevet EP 1 122 400 .The automatic return means of the tube 52 are advantageously constituted by a helical spring 53 and will, for example, be similar to the return means described in the patent application. EP 1 122 400 .

La réglette transversale 51 s'étend sur toute la largeur du rideau 50 et comporte une poignée de préhension 54 permettant à l'utilisateur d'exercer une traction sur le rideau 50 pour le dérouler vers une position de travail, illustrée sur la figure 2, dans laquelle le rideau 50 est déployé en dehors du tube 52 et s'étend le long du mât 11, le rideau 50 occupant alors une position sensiblement verticale, en étant préférentiellement légèrement incliné, de l'ordre de 3 à 10°, comme on peut le voir sur la figure 3.The transverse rule 51 extends over the entire width of the curtain 50 and includes a handle 54 allowing the user to exert traction on the curtain 50 to unroll it to a working position, illustrated on the figure 2 , in which the curtain 50 is deployed outside the tube 52 and extends along the mast 11, the curtain 50 then occupying a substantially vertical position, being preferentially slightly inclined, of the order of 3 to 10 °, as we can see it on the figure 3 .

Conformément aux figures 3 à 5, la poignée de préhension 54 présente une partie 54A en forme de crochet qui vient coopérer avec une platine 12 d'accrochage supportée par le tronçon inférieur du mât 11 télescopique pour maintenir le rideau 50 en position de travail et empêcher le retour automatique de la réglette transversale 51 vers la position de rangement sous l'effet du ressort de rappel 53.In accordance with Figures 3 to 5 , the gripping handle 54 has a hook-shaped portion 54A which cooperates with an attachment plate 12 supported by the lower section of the telescopic mast 11 to hold the curtain 50 in the working position and prevent the automatic return of the ruler transverse 51 towards the storage position under the effect of the return spring 53.

De manière préférentielle, la platine 12 d'accrochage peut être déplacée en translation le long de la partie inférieure du mât 11 télescopique et est munie de moyens de fixation, non représentés sur les figures, permettant à l'utilisateur de disposer la platine 12 d'accrochage à la hauteur qu'il souhaite afin que l'ensemble du rideau 50 ou seulement une partie de ce dernier soit déroulée lorsque la réglette transversale 51 est accrochée à la platine 12.Preferably, the plate 12 hooking can be moved in translation along the lower part of the telescopic mast 11 and is provided with fastening means, not shown in the figures, allowing the user to have the plate 12 d hanging at the desired height so that the entire curtain 50 or only part of it is unwound when the transverse strip 51 is attached to the plate 12.

A titre d'exemple, le rideau 50 présente une largeur de l'ordre de 40 cm et une longueur de l'ordre de 110 cm, afin d'offrir une surface suffisante pour maintenir en position la majeure partie du vêtement suspendu sur le cintre lorsque le rideau est totalement déployé. Le rideau 50 est avantageusement constitué par un tissu d'une épaisseur de l'ordre de 0.3 mm en fibre de verre, tressé et revêtu de PTFE (Polytétrafluoroéthylène), un tel tissu présentant l'avantage d'être à la fois perméable et résistant à la vapeur, et de ne pas trop se détendre lorsqu'il est soumis à un flux de vapeur.For example, the curtain 50 has a width of the order of 40 cm and a length of the order of 110 cm, to provide a sufficient surface to hold in position most of the hanging garment on the hanger when the curtain is fully deployed. The curtain 50 is advantageously constituted by a fabric with a thickness of the order of 0.3 mm fiberglass, braided and coated with PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), such a fabric having the advantage of being both permeable and resistant to steam, and not not to relax too much when subjected to a stream of steam.

Le ressort 53 du tube 52 est dimensionné pour générer un couple de rappel qui vient mettre sous tension le rideau 50 lorsque la réglette transversale 51 du rideau est accrochée à la platine 12 de telle sorte que l'utilisateur ressente une résistance du rideau 50 à l'encontre de la brosse de défroissage 3 lorsqu'il vient appliquer la brosse de défroissage 3 perpendiculairement au rideau 50 ainsi que cela est illustré sur la figure 3.The spring 53 of the tube 52 is sized to generate a return torque that comes to power the curtain 50 when the transverse strip 51 of the curtain is attached to the plate 12 so that the user feels a resistance of the curtain 50 to the against the steaming brush 3 when it comes to apply the scrubbing brush 3 perpendicularly to the curtain 50 as shown in FIG. figure 3 .

On obtient ainsi un appareil de repassage à la vapeur qui comporte un rideau 50 souple formant une surface d'appui assurant un bon maintien du vêtement à l'encontre de la brosse de défroissage 3 et permettant ainsi à l'utilisateur d'exercer une pression sur le vêtement au moyen de la brosse de défroissage 3 pour tendre la fibre du vêtement à repasser et améliorer la performance de repassage.A steam ironing apparatus is thus obtained which comprises a flexible curtain 50 forming a bearing surface ensuring a good hold of the garment against the steaming brush 3 and thus allowing the user to exert pressure on the garment by means of the steam brush 3 to stretch the fiber of the garment to iron and improve the ironing performance.

Un tel rideau 50 présente également l'avantage de pouvoir être ramené dans une position de rangement, illustrée sur la figure 5, dans laquelle la partie 54A en forme de crochet de la poignée de préhension 54 vient s'engager dans une ouverture 41 à la base du cintre 4 de sorte que le rideau 50 se trouve alors totalement intégré dans l'encombrement du cintre 4. Le rideau 50 ainsi rangé ne génère donc aucune gêne au niveau du mât 11 télescopique qui peut être replié complètement pour réduire l'encombrement de l'appareil pour son stockage.Such a curtain 50 also has the advantage of being able to be brought back into a storage position, illustrated on the figure 5 , in which the hook-shaped portion 54A of the gripping handle 54 is engaged in an opening 41 at the base of the hanger 4 so that the curtain 50 is then fully integrated into the space requirement of the hanger 4. The Curtain 50 thus stored does not generate any discomfort at the telescopic mast 11 which can be folded completely to reduce the size of the device for storage.

De plus, l'enroulement du rideau 50 autour du tube 52 présente l'avantage de protéger le rideau 50 lorsqu'il est en position de rangement et permet d'éviter notamment que le rideau 50 ne soit au contact de la poussière, de sorte que le rideau reste propre et immédiatement disponible lorsque l'utilisateur souhaite utiliser l'appareil.In addition, the winding of the curtain 50 around the tube 52 has the advantage of protecting the curtain 50 when it is in the storage position and makes it possible in particular to prevent the curtain 50 from being in contact with the dust, so that that the curtain remains clean and immediately available when the user wishes to use the device.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est nullement limitée au mode de réalisation décrit et illustré qui n'a été donné 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 embodiment described and illustrated which has 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 the invention.

Ainsi, dans une variante de réalisation non représentée, le tissu utilisé comme surface support pourra être réalisé dans une autre matière perméable à la vapeur.Thus, in an embodiment variant not shown, the fabric used as a support surface may be made of another material permeable to steam.

Ainsi, dans une autre variante de réalisation non représentée, le système de rappel automatique du rideau sur le tube pourra être remplacé par un système manuel d'enroulement du rideau sur le tube au moyen d'une manivelle, le tube pouvant alors comporter un dispositif d'immobilisation par cliquet.Thus, in another variant of embodiment not shown, the automatic return system of the curtain on the tube can be replaced by a manual winding system of the curtain on the tube by means of a crank, the tube can then comprise a device immobilization by ratchet.

Ainsi dans une autre variante de réalisation non représentée, l'appareil pourra comporter, en plus ou la place du cintre, des pinces permettant de maintenir le vêtement à repasser le long de la surface de repassage.Thus in another embodiment not shown, the apparatus may comprise, in addition to or instead of the hanger, clamps for holding the garment to iron along the ironing surface.

Ainsi, dans une autre variante de réalisation non représentée, la surface de repassage pourra ne pas s'enrouler sur un tube mais être pliée en accordéon lors de son rangement, ou se ranger et se déployer tel un éventail.Thus, in another variant embodiment not shown, the ironing surface may not be wound on a tube but be folded accordion when stored, or store and unfold as a fan.

Ainsi, dans une autre variante de réalisation non représentée, la surface de repassage pourra être maintenue déployée au moyen d'un cadre élastiquement déformable disposé sur toute la périphérie de la surface de repassage.Thus, in another variant embodiment not shown, the ironing surface can be maintained deployed by means of an elastically deformable frame disposed over the entire periphery of the ironing surface.

Ainsi dans une autre variante de réalisation non représentée, la surface de repassage pourra être constituée par un rideau comportant une série de lamelles rigides disposées côte à côte et articulées les unes par rapport aux autres pour permettre l'enroulement du rideau sur un tube.Thus, in another embodiment not shown, the ironing surface may be constituted by a curtain comprising a series of rigid lamellae arranged side by side and articulated relative to each other to allow the winding of the curtain on a tube.
