Le réservoir 12 est de manière connue en soi relié à une pompe 5 alimentant en eau une cuve 6 pour la génération de vapeur sous pression, représentées schématiquement en pointillés sur la figure 2, cette dernière étant disposée dans la partie inférieure de la base 1 et étant reliée par une électrovanne au conduit pour le transport de la vapeur intégré dans le cordon 2.The base 1 of the ironing apparatus comprises a reservoir 12 whose volume is illustrated in dotted lines on the figure 2 , this reservoir 12 being disposed under the inclined plane 10 and being provided with a hatch 13 masking a filling orifice. The reservoir 12 is in a manner known per se connected to a pump 5 supplying water to a tank 6 for the generation of steam under pressure, shown schematically in dashed lines on the figure 2 , the latter being arranged in the lower part of the base 1 and being connected by a solenoid valve to the duct for transporting the steam integrated in the cord 2.

De manière préférentielle, le réservoir 12 comporte des parois latérales externes translucides, ou transparentes, qui sont définies par une pièce de réservoir 14 en matériau plastique, représentée isolément sur les figures 5 et 6, cette pièce de réservoir 14 étant obtenue par un procédé de moulage et présentant la forme d'un secteur angulaire venant s'engager entre le plan incliné 10 et une coquille inférieure 1A de la base 1.Preferably, the reservoir 12 has translucent or transparent outer sidewalls, which are defined by a plastic material tank part 14, shown separately on the Figures 5 and 6 , this tank part 14 being obtained by a molding process and having the shape of an angular sector engaging between the inclined plane 10 and a lower shell 1A of the base 1.

La pièce de réservoir 14 comporte une cavité de rangement 15 du cordon 2, s'étendant transversalement à la base 1 et formant un tunnel présentant une ouverture d'accès 15A, 15B sur chaque côté de la base 1, la cavité de rangement 15 comportant une paroi 16 commune avec le réservoir 12 constituant une fenêtre de visualisation qui présente l'avantage d'améliorer la visibilité du niveau d'eau dans le réservoir 12.The reservoir part 14 has a storage cavity 15 of the bead 2, extending transversely to the base 1 and forming a tunnel having an access opening 15A, 15B on each side of the base 1, the cavity of storage 15 having a wall 16 common with the reservoir 12 constituting a viewing window which has the advantage of improving the visibility of the water level in the reservoir 12.

De manière préférentielle, la cavité de rangement 15 présente une section de passage sensiblement trapézoïdale dont la taille augmente en allant du milieu de la cavité de rangement 15 vers les ouvertures d'accès 15A, 15B, de sorte que la cavité de rangement 15 présente une forme divergente facilitant l'introduction du cordon 2 et permettant d'avoir une meilleure visibilité du niveau d'eau dans le réservoir 12.Preferably, the storage cavity 15 has a substantially trapezoidal passage section whose size increases from the middle of the storage cavity 15 to the access openings 15A, 15B, so that the storage cavity 15 has divergent shape facilitating the introduction of the cord 2 and to have a better visibility of the water level in the tank 12.

La cavité de rangement 15 est préférentiellement disposée entre le réservoir 12 et le plan incliné 10 de la base 1, en étant disposée légèrement en retrait par rapport au plan incliné 10, de sorte qu'un volume d'air est ménagé entre la cavité de rangement 15 et le plan incliné 10 de la base, ce volume d'air assurant une isolation thermique de la cavité de rangement de cordon par rapport au plan incliné 10 sur lequel vient reposer la semelle chaude du fer 1.The storage cavity 15 is preferably disposed between the reservoir 12 and the inclined plane 10 of the base 1, being arranged slightly recessed with respect to the inclined plane 10, so that a volume of air is provided between the cavity of the storage 15 and the inclined plane 10 of the base, this volume of air providing thermal insulation of the cord storage cavity relative to the inclined plane 10 on which rests the hot sole of the iron 1.

L'appareil de repassage ainsi réalisé présente l'avantage de posséder une cavité de rangement 15 qui permet un rangement très ergonomique du cordon, l'utilisateur n'ayant qu'à replier le cordon 2 sous forme de plusieurs boucles, puis à introduire ces boucles par l'une des ouvertures latérales 15A, 15B pour amener l'ensemble du cordon 2 à cheval sur la base 1, ainsi que cela est illustré sur les figures 1 et 2, un tel rangement du cordon 2 présentant l'avantage de permettre le stockage d'une grande longueur de cordon 2 avec une cavité de rangement 15 de faible longueur tout en ayant un bon maintien du cordon 2.The ironing apparatus thus produced has the advantage of having a storage cavity 15 which allows a very ergonomic storage of the cord, the user having only to fold the cord 2 in the form of several loops, then to introduce these loops by one of the lateral openings 15A, 15B to bring the assembly of the cord 2 astride the base 1, as is illustrated in FIGS. Figures 1 and 2 , such a storage cord 2 having the advantage of allowing the storage of a large length of cord 2 with a storage cavity 15 of short length while having a good maintenance of the cord 2.

L'appareil de repassage selon l'invention présente également l'avantage d'être extrêmement compact, l'intégration de la cavité de rangement 15 sous la forme d'un tunnel dans la pièce de réservoir 14 permettant d'avoir une base 1 génératrice de vapeur présentant une très faible largeur, de l'ordre de 20 cm, et présentant donc une empreinte au sol de surface réduite.The ironing apparatus according to the invention also has the advantage of being extremely compact, the integration of the storage cavity 15 in the form of a tunnel in the tank part 14 making it possible to have a base 1 generator steam having a very small width, of the order of 20 cm, and thus having a footprint of reduced surface area.

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 leaving the domain of protection of the invention.

Ainsi, dans une variante de réalisation de l'invention, la cavité de rangement pourra ne plus être disposée en bordure du plan incliné mais occuper une position centrale dans le réservoir.Thus, in an alternative embodiment of the invention, the storage cavity may no longer be disposed at the edge of the inclined plane but occupy a central position in the tank.
