De manière préférentielle, la planche à repasser comporte également un repose fer 6 disposé dans le prolongement du plateau 2 et une plateforme 7 disposée sous le plateau 2, destinée à supporter du linge ou une base génératrice de vapeur.Preferably, the ironing board also comprises an iron rest 6 disposed in the extension of the plate 2 and a platform 7 disposed under the plate 2, for supporting laundry or a steam generating base.

Le repose fer 6 est avantageusement constitué par un fil de métal plié et est supporté par deux bras 60 montés coulissants sur l'extrémité arrière du bâti 1, le repose fer 6 étant mobile en translation entre une position de travail, illustrée sur la figure 2, dans laquelle le repose fer 6 se trouve disposé en porte-à-faux à l'extérieur du bâti 1 et se trouve côte à côte avec le plateau 2, et une position de rangement, illustrée sur la figure 4, dans laquelle le repose fer 6 se trouve ramené au dessus du plateau 2 en position de rangement, le repose fer 6 étant légèrement surélevé par rapport au plateau 2 de sorte que l'extrémité arrière de la partie principale 22 du plateau, et la partie arrière 20 en position de rangement, puissent s'insérer sous le repose-fer 6 comme cela est illustré sur la figure 4.The iron rest 6 is advantageously constituted by a folded metal wire and is supported by two arms 60 slidably mounted on the rear end of the frame 1, the iron rest 6 being movable in translation between a working position, illustrated on the figure 2 , in which the iron rest 6 is arranged cantilevered outside the frame 1 and is located side by side with the plate 2, and a storage position, illustrated on the figure 4 , in which the iron rest 6 is brought back to the top of the tray 2 in the storage position, the iron rest 6 being slightly raised relative to the plate 2 so that the rear end of the main part 22 of the plate, and the part rear 20 in the storage position, can be inserted under the iron rest 6 as shown in the figure 4 .

La plateforme 7 est avantageusement réalisée en matériau plastique et est portée par un cadre comprenant deux tubes 70 longitudinaux dont les extrémités sont reliées entre elles par un tube 71 transversal monté pivotant sur le premier pied 3, légèrement en dessous de la liaison pivot 5 reliant les deux pieds 3, 4, le second pied 4 comportant des galets 41 sur lesquels les tubes 70 longitudinaux viennent reposer pour maintenir la plateforme 7 dans une position horizontale lorsque les pieds 3,4 sont déployés dans la position de travail. Lorsque les pieds 3,4 sont amenés en position de rangement, la plateforme 7 pivote autour du tube 71 et vient se disposer parallèlement au plateau 2, la plateforme 7 comportant une gouttière 72 longitudinale formant un logement adapté pour recevoir le premier pied 3, ainsi que cela est illustré sur les figures 5 et 6.The platform 7 is advantageously made of plastic material and is carried by a frame comprising two longitudinal tubes 70 whose ends are interconnected by a transverse tube 71 pivotally mounted on the first leg 3, slightly below the pivot connection 5 connecting the two feet 3, 4, the second leg 4 having rollers 41 on which the longitudinal tubes 70 come to rest to maintain the platform 7 in a horizontal position when the feet 3,4 are deployed in the working position. When the feet 3,4 are brought into the storage position, the platform 7 pivots around the tube 71 and is disposed parallel to the plate 2, the platform 7 having a longitudinal groove 72 forming a housing adapted to receive the first foot 3, and that this is illustrated on the Figures 5 and 6 .

Le premier pied 3 est en deux parties et comporte un segment supérieur 31 et un segment inférieur 32 reliés l'un à l'autre par une articulation 8 permettant le pivotement du segment inférieur 32 entre une position dépliée, illustrée sur la figure 5, dans laquelle le segment inférieur 32 est disposé dans l'alignement du segment supérieur 31 du pied, et une position repliée, illustrée sur la figure 6, dans laquelle le segment inférieur 32 est replié sur le segment supérieur 31, sensiblement parallèlement à ce dernier.The first foot 3 is in two parts and comprises an upper segment 31 and a lower segment 32 connected to each other by a hinge 8 allowing the pivoting of the lower segment 32 between an unfolded position, illustrated on the figure 5 wherein the lower segment 32 is disposed in alignment with the upper segment 31 of the foot, and a folded position, illustrated on the figure 6 , wherein the lower segment 32 is folded over the upper segment 31 substantially parallel to the latter.

De manière avantageuse, le segment supérieur 31 du premier pied 3 est constitué par un tube rectiligne d'une longueur de l'ordre de 85 cm muni d'un léger coude à une dizaine de centimètres de son extrémité supérieure et le segment inférieur 32 est constitué par un tube rectiligne d'une longueur de l'ordre de 20 cm, l'extrémité inférieure du segment inférieur 32 comportant une traverse 33 d'une longueur de l'ordre de 45 cm munie d'un patin antidérapant 34 à chacune des ses extrémités.Advantageously, the upper segment 31 of the first foot 3 is constituted by a rectilinear tube of a length of the order of 85 cm provided with a slight elbow about ten centimeters from its upper end and the lower segment 32 is constituted by a rectilinear tube of a length of the order of 20 cm, the lower end of the lower segment 32 having a cross member 33 of a length of the order of 45 cm provided with a non-slip pad 34 to each of its ends.

Le second pied 4 est en un seul tenant et est avantageusement constitué par deux tubes 42 rectilignes, sensiblement parallèles, d'une longueur de l'ordre de 105 cm, les deux tubes étant reliés, à leur extrémité supérieure, à la tige 40 montée coulissante sur le bâti 1 et étant reliés, à leur extrémité inférieure, à une traverse 43 d'une longueur de l'ordre de 45 cm comportant, à chacune de ses extrémités, une roulette 44 orientée longitudinalement à la traverse 43.The second foot 4 is in a single piece and is advantageously constituted by two rectilinear tubes 42, substantially parallel, of a length of the order of 105 cm, the two tubes being connected, at their upper end, to the rod 40 mounted sliding on the frame 1 and being connected, at their lower end, to a cross member 43 with a length of the order of 45 cm having, at each of its ends, a wheel 44 oriented longitudinally to the crossbar 43.

Conformément aux figures 7 à 12, l'articulation 8 reliant le segment supérieur 31 au segment inférieur 32 du premier pied comporte un axe de rotation 80 reliant une première partie 81 de l'articulation venant s'emmancher dans le tube du segment supérieur 31 à une deuxième partie 82 de l'articulation venant s'emmancher dans le tube du segment inférieur 32, l'axe de rotation 80 étant disposé perpendiculairement au premier pied 3 et déporté à la périphérie du premier pied de sorte que le segment inférieur 32 puisse être replié sur le segment supérieur 31 par une rotation de 180°.In accordance with Figures 7 to 12 the hinge 8 connecting the upper segment 31 to the lower segment 32 of the first leg comprises an axis of rotation 80 connecting a first portion 81 of the joint coming into the tube of the upper segment 31 to a second portion 82 of the articulation coming into the tube of the lower segment 32, the axis of rotation 80 being disposed perpendicularly to the first foot 3 and offset to the periphery of the first foot so that the lower segment 32 can be folded over the upper segment 31 by a rotation of 180 °.

De manière préférentielle, l'articulation 8 comporte des moyens d'immobilisation du segment inférieur en position dépliée constitués par un dispositif de verrouillage comprenant un premier bouton de déverrouillage 83 disposé sur une face supérieure du pied, visible sur la figure 7, et un second bouton de déverrouillage 87 disposé sur une face inférieure du premier pied 3, visible sur la figure 8.Preferably, the hinge 8 comprises immobilization means of the lower segment in unfolded position constituted by a locking device comprising a first unlocking button 83 disposed on an upper face of the foot, visible on the figure 7 , and a second unlocking button 87 disposed on a lower face of the first foot 3, visible on the figure 8 .

Conformément aux figures 10 à 12, le premier bouton de déverrouillage 83 est monté pivotant autour d'un axe 84 porté par la première partie 81 de l'articulation au voisinage de la face de l'articulation 8 opposée à celle recevant l'axe de rotation 80, le premier bouton de déverrouillage 83 comportant une extrémité munie d'un crochet 83A et une extrémité opposée munie d'une zone d'actionnement 83B, matérialisée par un renfoncement à la surface du premier bouton 83, et étant mobile entre une position de repos illustrée sur la figure 10, vers laquelle il est ramené par un ressort de rappel 85, et une position actionnée vers laquelle il est amené lorsque l'utilisateur appui sur la zone d'actionnement 83B, ainsi que cela est illustré sur la figure 11.In accordance with Figures 10 to 12 , the first unlocking button 83 is pivotally mounted about an axis 84 carried by the first portion 81 of the articulation in the vicinity of the face of the hinge 8 opposite to that receiving the axis of rotation 80, the first unlocking button 83 having an end provided with a hook 83A and an opposite end provided with a zone of actuating 83B, materialized by a recess on the surface of the first button 83, and being movable between a rest position illustrated on the figure 10 , to which it is returned by a return spring 85, and an actuated position to which it is brought when the user bears on the actuating zone 83B, as illustrated in FIG. figure 11 .

Lorsque le premier bouton de déverrouillage 83 est en position de repos, le crochet 83A vient s'engager derrière une butée de blocage 86 portée par la deuxième partie 82 de l'articulation, ainsi que cela est illustré sur la figure 10, la butée de blocage 86 s'étendant selon un plan perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal de la deuxième partie 82 de sorte que l'engagement du crochet 83A derrière la butée de blocage 86 verrouille l'articulation 8 dans la position dépliée.When the first unlocking button 83 is in the rest position, the hook 83A is engaged behind a locking stop 86 carried by the second part 82 of the joint, as is illustrated on FIG. figure 10 , the stopper 86 extending in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the second portion 82 so that the engagement of the hook 83A behind the stopper 86 locks the hinge 8 in the unfolded position.

A l'inverse, lorsque le premier bouton de déverrouillage 83 est amené en position actionnée, le crochet 83A est basculé vers l'extérieur de l'articulation 8 et se désengage de la butée de blocage 86 de sorte que la deuxième partie 82 de l'articulation peut basculer autour de l'axe de rotation 80 ainsi que cela est illustré sur la figure 9.Conversely, when the first unlocking button 83 is brought into the actuated position, the hook 83A is tilted outwardly of the hinge 8 and disengages from the locking abutment 86 so that the second part 82 of the articulation can swing about the axis of rotation 80 as illustrated in FIG. figure 9 .

Le second bouton de déverrouillage 87 est mobile en translation au travers d'un orifice 82A ménagé dans la deuxième partie 82 de l'articulation et débouchant sous le crochet 83A du premier bouton de verrouillage 83, le second bouton de déverrouillage 87 étant mobile entre une position de repos, illustrée sur la figure 10, vers laquelle il est ramené par un ressort de rappel 88, et une position actionnée vers laquelle il est amené lorsque l'utilisateur appuie sur le second bouton de déverrouillage 87, ainsi que cela est illustré sur la figure 12.The second unlocking button 87 is movable in translation through an orifice 82A formed in the second part 82 of the articulation and opening under the hook 83A of the first locking button 83, the second unlocking button 87 being movable between a rest position, illustrated on the figure 10 , to which it is returned by a return spring 88, and an actuated position to which it is brought when the user presses the second unlocking button 87, as shown in FIG. figure 12 .

Conformément à la figure 10, lorsque le second bouton de déverrouillage 87 est en position de repos, il occupe une position reculée dans l'orifice 82A autorisant l'engagement du crochet 83A derrière la butée de blocage 86. A l'inverse, lorsque le second bouton de déverrouillage 87 est en position actionnée, il occupe une position avancée dans laquelle une extrémité du second bouton de déverrouillage 87 vient repousser le crochet 83A en dehors de l'orifice 82A de sorte que le crochet 83A se désengage de la butée de blocage 86, ce qui permet la libre rotation de l'articulation 8.In accordance with the figure 10 when the second unlocking button 87 is in the rest position, it occupies a retracted position in the orifice 82A allowing engagement of the hook 83A behind the locking stop 86. On the contrary, when the second unlocking button 87 is in the actuated position, it occupies an advanced position in which one end of the second button of Unlocking 87 pushes the hook 83A out of the orifice 82A so that the hook 83A disengages from the locking stop 86, which allows the free rotation of the hinge 8.

La planche à repasser ainsi réalisée présente l'avantage d'être très ergonomique à utiliser, le pliage des pieds de la planche à repasser dans la position de rangement et le basculement du segment inférieur vers la position repliée pouvant s'effectuer dans n'importe quel ordre. En particulier, le basculement du segment inférieur vers la position repliée peut s'effectuer lorsque la planche est basculée sur son second pied et que les deux pieds sont encore disposés en position de travail mais peut aussi s'effectuer très aisément lorsque les deux pieds sont en position de rangement, et que la planche est disposée verticalement sur le second pied, en appuyant sur le premier ou le second bouton, avec un risque réduit de pincement pour les doigts.The ironing board thus produced has the advantage of being very ergonomic to use, the folding of the feet of the ironing board in the storage position and the tilting of the lower segment to the folded position that can be performed in any what order. In particular, the tilting of the lower segment to the folded position can be effected when the board is tilted on its second foot and the two legs are still arranged in the working position but can also be done very easily when both feet are in storage position, and that the board is arranged vertically on the second foot, pressing the first or the second button, with a reduced risk of pinching the fingers.

Cette planche à repasser présente également l'avantage d'offrir une grande sécurité d'utilisation, la planche en position de travail pouvant être déplacée sans risque de basculement intempestif du segment inférieur vers la position repliée.This ironing board also has the advantage of offering great safety of use, the board in working position can be moved without risk of inadvertent tilting of the lower segment to the folded position.

De plus, le basculement du segment inférieur vers la position repliée, illustrée sur la figure 6, permet d'obtenir une planche à repasser extrêmement compacte dont les pieds restent dans l'encombrement de la partie principale du plateau et ne font pas saillie en dehors du plateau. Une fois dans cette position de rangement, la planche à repasser peut être aisément déplacée en la faisant légèrement basculer de manière à ce qu'elle repose uniquement sur les roulettes du second pied.In addition, the tilting of the lower segment to the folded position, illustrated on the figure 6 , provides an extremely compact ironing board whose feet remain in the bulk of the main part of the tray and do not protrude outside the tray. Once in this storage position, the ironing board can be easily moved by tilting slightly so that it rests solely on the wheels of the second foot.

La planche à repasser présente également l'avantage de posséder un plateau offrant une surface de repassage importante et d'être très stable une fois dépliée en position de travail, grâce à un empattement important entre les premier et second pieds, du fait notamment de la longueur importante du premier pied, et à la présence des traverses de grande taille qui assurent une très bonne stabilité latérale à la planche à repasser.The ironing board also has the advantage of having a tray with a large ironing surface and being very stable when unfolded in the working position, thanks to a large wheelbase between the first and second feet, in particular because of the large length of the first foot, and the presence of large sleepers that provide very good lateral stability to the ironing board.

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 remain 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 non représentée, le plateau de la planche à repasser pourra être réalisé en une seule partie et être fixe par rapport au bâti.Thus, in an alternative embodiment of the invention not shown, the plate of the ironing board can be made in one piece and be fixed relative to the frame.

Ainsi, dans une variante de réalisation de l'invention non représentée, les moyens d'immobilisation du segment inférieur en position dépliée pourront être démunis de dispositif de verrouillage et constitués uniquement de moyens de rappels, du type ressort, garantissant un équilibre bistable du segment inférieur en le ramenant à la fois dans la position dépliée et dans la position repliée en fonction de l'angle de rotation au niveau de l'articulation.Thus, in an alternative embodiment of the invention not shown, the immobilization means of the lower segment in the unfolded position may be deprived of locking device and consist solely of spring-like recall means guaranteeing a bistable balance of the segment. lower by bringing it back both in the unfolded position and in the folded position depending on the angle of rotation at the joint.
