Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an iron comprising a body and a metal sole plate which is attached to the body, the sole plate comprising a lower face defining an ironing surface and having at least locally a folded edge which defines a peripheral edge of said ironing surface, and relates more particularly to an iron in which the folded edge of the sole plate comes into contact with the body to contribute to the attachment of the sole plate on the body.
  • an iron comprising a sole plate, or cap, which is attached against a heating body, the soleplate comprising a lower face defining an ironing surface and having a folded edge defining a peripheral edge of the ironing surface.
  • the sole plate is mechanically fixed against the body by sending the folded edge into contact with the body.
  • Such a solution has the advantage of allowing a simple and inexpensive mechanical fastening of the soleplate to the heating body, this mechanical fastening being able to ensure, on its own, the attachment of the soleplate to the body or in addition to a layer of glue used to attach the soleplate to the body.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a steam iron having an ironing sole which is fixed simply and inexpensively to the body of the iron and has a thin peripheral edge.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide an iron in which the attachment of the sole plate offers total freedom in the positioning of the steam outlet holes of the soleplate.
  • the subject of the invention is an iron comprising a body and a metal soleplate which is attached to the body, the soleplate comprising a lower face defining an ironing surface and having at least locally an edge.
  • device at which the sole plate is folded towards the body and comes into contact with the latter to contribute to the attachment of the sole plate on the body characterized in that the peripheral edge has a portion folded at 180 ° to the level of which the soleplate extends parallel to the ironing surface and in that the portion folded at 180 ° is extended by a catching portion engaging the body.
  • Such a characteristic makes it possible to obtain an iron in which the peripheral edge of the ironing surface is flattened, thus having a small thickness making it possible to simplify the ironing around the buttons of the garments.
  • the peripheral edge of the ironing surface has a thickness substantially equal to, or less than, twice the thickness of the sole plate.
  • the attachment portion comprises successively, starting from the portion folded at 180 °, an intermediate portion folded upwards, then a free end which is folded against the body to ensure the fixation of the soleplate on the body.
  • Such attachment of the sole plate by the attachment portions located at the periphery of the sole plate has the advantage of being simple and economical to implement.
  • this attachment is independent of the positioning of the steam outlet holes on the sole plate so that the distribution of the steam outlet holes on the soleplate can be changed without affecting the fixing the soleplate.
  • the intermediate portion extends perpendicularly to the ironing surface.
  • the free end of the part The hooking portion is aligned with the intermediate portion when the soleplate is placed on the body, and is then mechanically folded against the body to secure the sole plate.
  • the ironing surface and the peripheral edge of the sole plate are coated with a coating, such as enamel.
  • Such a coating makes it possible to improve the mechanical characteristics of the ironing surface and in particular the sliding and / or the scratch resistance.
  • the attachment portion is not covered by the coating.
  • Such a characteristic makes it possible to prevent the coating from cracking during the folding of the fastening part.
  • the fastening portion is covered with the coating at the same time as the peripheral edge and the ironing surface of the soleplate.
  • Such a feature simplifies the process of applying the coating, the coating can be applied without having to hide the attachment parts.
  • the soleplate is made of aluminum.
  • Such an aluminum soleplate has the advantage of being easily shaped and well transmit heat.
  • the thickness of the sole plate is between 0.8 mm and 1.5 mm.
  • the body is heated and contains an electrical resistance.
  • the figure 1 represents a set of iron soleplate conventionally located beneath a water tank, not shown in the figures, this assembly comprising a metal sole plate 1 and a heating body 2 intended to be attached to the soleplate 1.
  • the heating body 2 is advantageously constituted by an aluminum foundry comprising a curved electrical resistance 20 shaped horseshoe and a boss 21 provided for receiving a temperature control thermostat.
  • the heating body 2 comprises, in its upper part, a vaporization chamber 22 intended to be closed by a closure plate, not shown in the figures.
  • the water of the iron reservoir is brought, in a manner known per se, by a device drip into the vaporization chamber 22 and the steam thus generated is distributed by a peripheral channel 23 extending around the vaporization chamber, on the upper face of the heating body 2.
  • the channel 23 has holes 24 passing through the heating body 2 and opening into a steam distribution chamber 25 extending on the underside of the heating body 2, the distribution chamber 25 feeding a network of steam outlet holes 10 of the soleplate 1.
  • the sole plate 1 has a planar underside which defines an ironing surface including a void area of vapor outlet holes, which extends through the vapor exit hole array, and at which the face upper plate 1 comes into contact with surfaces of the heating body 2 so as to ensure a good heat transfer of the heating body 2 to the sole plate 1, a seal being disposed at the periphery of the heating body 2 to ensure vapor tightness between the sole plate 1 and the heating body 2.
  • the sole plate 1 has a peripheral edge 11 which defines the periphery of the ironing surface, the peripheral edge having a portion 12 folded at 180 ° obtained by successively folding the soleplate 1 upwards, then inwardly of the ironing surface, and by folding it against the upper surface of the soleplate 1.
  • the soleplate 1 locally comprises, in the extension of the portion 12 folded at 180 °, fastening portions 13 comprising an intermediate portion 13A facing upwards forming a 90 ° elbow with the folded portion, this intermediate portion 13A extending by a free end 13B which extends vertically upwards, so that the heating body 2 can be inserted between the hooking parts 13 and applied against the sole plate 1 during the iron assembly process to redo.
  • Such a free end 13B is then folded horizontally at the edge of the heating body 2 so that the attachment portions 13 exert a pressure on the heating body 2 which maintains the soleplate 1 in contact with the heating body 2.
  • these attachment portions 13 are advantageously distributed along the periphery of the heating body 2, the soleplate 1 comprising, in the example illustrated in the figures, two lateral catching parts 13 constituted by tongues extending on each side of the sole plate 1 from a pointed front end of the soleplate 1, on substantially two-thirds of the length of the sole plate 1, and a rear hooking portion 13 formed by a tongue extending at the rear end of the soleplate 1, the heating body 2 advantageously comprising at the height of these attachment portions 13 a flat peripheral edge having a housing 26 visible on the figure 1 adapted to receive the attachment portion 13.
  • the soleplate 1 may also advantageously comprise guide portions 14 constituted by interposed tabs which remain oriented vertically and which cooperate with the edge of the heating body 2 to laterally guide the soleplate 1 with respect to the heating body 2.
  • the figure 7 illustrates, by way of example, the shape of the sole plate 1 before folding, this sole plate 1 being obtained by cutting an aluminum sheet having a thickness of between 0.8 mm and 1.5 mm.
  • This sole plate 1 is then subjected to a first folding step in which the gripping portions 13 and the guide portions 14 are bent at 90 °, then to a second folding step in which the sole plate 1 is folded at 180 ° along the periphery of the ironing surface, shown in dotted lines on the figure 7 , in order to obtain a sole plate as illustrated on the figure 1 wherein the peripheral edge 11 of the ironing surface has a thickness substantially equal to twice the thickness of the sole plate 1.
  • the insole plate 1 thus produced is partially enamel-coated before being assembled with the heating body 2, the enamel-coated surface being able to be limited to the ironing surface and to the peripheral edge 11 of the sole plate.
  • the attachment parts 13 can remain in the raw state, that is to say, not coated with email, to prevent the formation of cracks in the enamel during folding of the attachment parts 13.
  • the parts hooking 13 may also be coated with enamel at the same time as the ironing surface, to simplify the process of applying the coating.
  • the attachment parts 13 have the advantage of being masked by the housing of the iron when the heating body 2 is assembled to the iron so that any cracks forming at the coating of parts of the iron will remain invisible to the user.
  • the sole assembly thus produced has the advantage of being simple and inexpensive to manufacture, the soleplate having the advantage of being mechanically connected to the heating body by a simple process of folding the parts of collisions.
  • the iron equipped with such a sole assembly has the advantage of having a soleplate having a flattened peripheral edge, having a small thickness, for easy ironing around the buttons of clothing.
  • the figure 8 illustrates an alternative embodiment of the sole assembly illustrated in the preceding figures, wherein the soleplate 1 comprises one or more steam outlet holes 10A formed adjacent the peripheral edge 11 of the soleplate 1, and advantageously close to the front tip of the soleplate 1.
  • the sole plate 1 advantageously comprises a thinner thickness at the periphery of the ironing surface to promote the diffusion of steam to the outer edge of the ironing surface.
  • Such an ironing variant has the advantage of having steam outlet holes at the periphery of the ironing surface for greater efficiency when ironing in the hard-to-reach corners of the clothing, such as the contours of buttons or the collars of the shirts.
  • the attachment portions may cover the entire periphery of the heating body or be only located in several locations along the periphery of the heating body.
  • the soleplate may be made of stainless steel.
  • the soleplate may be coated with a coating of inorganic polymer type deposited by a sol gel process.
  • the body on which is fixed the soleplate may not be heated.
