  • the figure 1 and 2 represent an ironing apparatus of the steam generator type, typically comprising an iron 1 resting on a portable base 2 incorporating, in a manner known per se, a vessel for producing steam under pressure, not shown in the figures, the base 2 being electrically powered by means of a cable 24.
  • the iron 1 comprises a heating soleplate surmounted by a one-piece plastic body incorporating a handle 11, the latter extending towards the rear of the iron by two arms 12 comprising a rear face constituting the heel of the iron, the body having a portion of cantilever extending between the sole 10 and the heel of the iron.
  • the handle 11 is conventionally extended towards the front of the iron by a nose covering the front tip of the sole 10, the iron 1 being connected to the base 2 by a flexible cord 3 incorporating electrical supply wires of the heating soleplate 10 as well as a steam supply duct 10 of the iron soleplate.
  • the base 2 comprises a flat bottom surface intended to rest on a horizontal plane and has an inclined upper surface 21 comprising a recess constituting a location 21A for resting the iron 1, this location 21A comprising an inclined plane bottom of the order of 30 ° relative to the lower surface 20 and having pads 21 B projecting to thermally isolate the base 2 of the sole 10 of the iron.
  • the upper surface 21 of the base 2 has, in front of the location 21 A, a control panel 23 of the apparatus and encloses in the space under the location 21, a tank for supplying water to the tank for the production of steam, the tank being provided with a filler door 25.
  • the base 2 comprises, at the foot of the location 21A, a stopper 22 on which the heel of the iron comes to bear when the iron 1 is placed on the location 21A , the stopper 22 advantageously having an outgrowth 22A inserted into a cavity 13 formed on a lower face of the cantilevered portion located at the rear of the iron 1 so as to immobilize laterally and vertically the rear portion of the iron 1 in slot 21A.
  • the front part of the iron 1 is immobilized on the base 2 by means of a hoop 4 pivotally mounted at the portion of the location 21A receiving the front tip of the sole 10 of the iron, the hoop 4 having advantageously a triangular shape conforming to the contour of the front end of the location 21A.
  • the hoop 4 can pivot between a folded position, illustrated on the figures 2 and 6 , in which the hoop 4 is engaged in a receiving groove formed at the edge of the location 21A, being arranged parallel to the upper surface 21 of the base, and a position of immobilization of the iron, illustrated on the figures 1 and 8 , in which the arch 4 bears against the upper surface of the nose of the iron 1, the arch 4 advantageously comprising a flexible portion 40 attached by overmolding in the hollow portion of the arch 4 coming into contact with the body of the iron 1 to iron when the arch 4 is in the immobilization position.
  • the arch 4 is preferably constituted by a plastic part comprising two branches, defining an inverted V, having a lower end passing through an opening 26 formed on the upper surface of the base 2 to be pivotally mounted on an axis 5 disposed inside the base 2, the axis 5 being carried by tabs 27 projecting under the upper surface of the base 2.
  • the base 2 comprises return means 6 exerting a return torque on the arch 4 whose direction reverses at transition from an intermediate position, illustrated on the figure 7 , located between the folded position and the immobilization position, the restoring torque bringing the hoop 4 to the folded position when the latter is in an angular position between the folded position and the intermediate position and bringing the hoop 4 to the immobilization position when the latter is in an angular position between the intermediate position and the immobilization position.
  • the return means are advantageously constituted by two helical torsion springs 6 arranged near the lower end of the branches of the arch 4, each spring 6 having a first curved end engaging in a hole 28A formed in a support stud 28 protruding under the upper surface 21 of the base and a second curved end engaging in a notch 41 formed at the edge of the leg of the arch 4.
  • the notch 41 is formed along the edge of the arch 4 so that the notch 41 is above the line passing through the orifice 28A and the axis 5 of rotation when the arch 4 is is in the folded position, illustrated on the figure 6 , and is below the line d when the arch 4 is in the immobilization position illustrated on the figure 8 , in which the arch 4 advantageously forms an angle of the order of 50 ° with respect to the bottom of the location 21A, the notch 41 being aligned with the line d when the arch 4 occupies an intermediate position, illustrated on the figure 7 , in which the arch advantageously forms an angle of the order of 20 ° with respect to the bottom of the location 21 A.
  • the arch 4 also comprises a stop 42 which abuts against an edge 26A of the opening 26 to limit the pivoting stroke of the arch 4 in a stop position, not shown in the figures, located slightly beyond the immobilization position.
  • the user wishes to lock the iron 1 on the base 2, he places the iron 1 on the location 21A by resting the sole 10 on the pads 21 B and engaging the protrusion 22A of the stopper 22 in the cavity 13 located at the back of the iron, then manually grasped the arch 4 so as to lift it to the intermediate position illustrated on the figure 7 , by counteracting the return torque exerted by the springs 6, the return torque gradually decreasing to become zero when passing from the intermediate position.
  • the return torque exerted by the springs 6 is reversed, the springs 6 then exerting a restoring torque in the direction R 2 which increases progressively as and when as the arch 4 approaches the blocking position in which it abuts against the nose of the iron 1 to iron.
  • the hoop 4 is applied against the upper face of the body of the iron 1, so that it results in a perfect immobilization, without deflection, the iron 1 on the base 2.
  • the user can then transport the generator by grasping the handle 11 of the iron.
  • the hoop 4 pivots under the effect of the couple of springs 6 of return until the abutment 42 at the base of the arch 4 bears against the edge 26A of the opening 26, thus preventing the arch 4 from tilting too far towards the rear of the base 2.
  • Such an iron locking device on the base of the generator thus has the advantage of being both simple design and very ergonomic use. In particular, the risk of damage to the locking device when the user forces on the rollbar to bring it from the locking position to the folded position is eliminated.
  • the stop of the bow can be arranged in such a way that the stop position of the bow in which the stop abuts on the edge of the opening corresponds to at an immobilization position of the iron in which the hoop is in the immediate vicinity of the iron without affecting the latter.
  • the vessel for the generation of steam under pressure may be replaced by an instantaneous vaporization chamber, the latter may be arranged in the base or in the iron and be connected to a reservoir contained in the base by a water pipe.
  • the iron may be replaced by a steam brush.
