The viewing aperture 13 extends through the portion 7, and more particularly through the support platform 8 and the cover plate 9, from the upper surface 9.1 of the cover plate 9 to the lower surface 8.1 of the support platform 8. The opening of visualization 13 may for example be of oblong section, and be arranged in a central zone of the support portion 7.

Comme montré sur les figures 3 et 4, la base génératrice de vapeur 4 comporte deux éléments de renfort 14 disposés sous la partie de support 7 et s'étendant de part et d'autre de l'ouverture de visualisation 13. Avantageusement, la base génératrice de vapeur 3 comporte également des éléments en saillie 15, par exemple au nombre de trois, disposés autour de l'ouverture de visualisation 13 et configurés pour isoler thermiquement la partie de support 7 et une semelle de repassage du fer à repasser 4 lorsque le fer à repasser 4 est posé sur la partie de support 7.As shown on Figures 3 and 4 , the steam generating base 4 comprises two reinforcing elements 14 arranged under the support portion 7 and extending on either side of the viewing opening 13. Advantageously, the steam generating base 3 also comprises elements protruding 15, for example three in number, arranged around the viewing opening 13 and configured to thermally isolate the support portion 7 and an ironing sole of the iron 4 when the iron 4 is placed on the support part 7.

Comme montré plus particulièrement sur la figure 3, le réservoir 6 comporte une paroi de visualisation 16 courbée et disposée dans une partie médiane du réservoir 6. La paroi de visualisation 16 s'étend plus particulièrement sensiblement dans le prolongement de l'ouverture de visualisation 13 et le long d'une majeure partie du pourtour de l'ouverture de visualisation 13. La paroi de visualisation 16 est visible à travers l'ouverture de visualisation 13, et est transparente ou translucide de manière à permettre à un utilisateur de vérifier visuellement un niveau de liquide dans le réservoir 6 à travers l'ouverture de visualisation 13.As shown more particularly on the figure 3 , the reservoir 6 comprises a viewing wall 16 curved and disposed in a median portion of the reservoir 6. The viewing wall 16 extends more particularly substantially in the extension of the viewing opening 13 and along a major part around the viewing aperture 13. The wall of visualization 16 is visible through the viewing aperture 13, and is transparent or translucent so as to allow a user to visually check a level of liquid in the reservoir 6 through the viewing aperture 13.

Selon le mode de réalisation représenté sur les figures, le réservoir 6 comporte de plus une paroi de fond 17 s'étendant à partir d'un bord inférieur de la paroi de visualisation 16 et sensiblement perpendiculairement à la direction d'extension de la paroi de visualisation 16. Avantageusement, la paroi de fond 17 et la paroi de visualisation 16 délimitent une chambre de visualisation 18 dans laquelle débouche l'ouverture de visualisation 13.According to the embodiment shown in the figures, the reservoir 6 further comprises a bottom wall 17 extending from a lower edge of the viewing wall 16 and substantially perpendicular to the direction of extension of the wall of the wall. 16. Advantageously, the bottom wall 17 and the viewing wall 16 define a viewing chamber 18 into which the viewing aperture 13 opens.

Selon le mode de réalisation représenté sur les figures, la paroi de visualisation 16 s'étend sensiblement verticalement et la paroi de fond 17 s'étend sensiblement horizontalement lorsque la base génératrice de vapeur 3 est disposée sur un plan de travail horizontal.According to the embodiment shown in the figures, the display wall 16 extends substantially vertically and the bottom wall 17 extends substantially horizontally when the steam generating base 3 is disposed on a horizontal work plane.

Comme montré sur la figure 4, le réservoir 6 comporte également une paroi périphérique extérieure 19, qui est transparente ou translucide de manière à permettre à un utilisateur de vérifier visuellement le niveau de liquide dans le réservoir 6 depuis l'extérieur de la base génératrice de vapeur 3. Le réservoir 6 comporte en outre deux ailes latérales 21 s'étendant de part et d'autre de la paroi de visualisation 16, et une poignée 22 afin de faciliter la préhension du réservoir 6 notamment pour son remplissage.As shown on the figure 4 the reservoir 6 also has an outer peripheral wall 19, which is transparent or translucent so as to allow a user to visually check the level of liquid in the reservoir 6 from outside the steam generating base 3. The reservoir 6 further comprises two lateral wings 21 extending on either side of the viewing wall 16, and a handle 22 to facilitate the gripping of the reservoir 6 in particular for its filling.

Une telle configuration de la base génératrice de vapeur 3 et du réservoir 6 permet en particulier à un utilisateur de vérifier aisément et visuellement le niveau de liquide dans le réservoir 6 aussi bien lors de phases inactives de repassage que lors des phases actives de repassage. En effet, lors des phases inactives de repassage, l'utilisateur peut aisément visualiser le niveau de liquide dans le réservoir 6 via la paroi périphérique extérieure 19 du récipient 6, et lors des phases actives de repassage, l'utilisateur peut aisément visualiser le niveau de liquide dans le réservoir 6 via l'ouverture de visualisation 13 et la paroi de visualisation 16 ou via la paroi périphérique extérieure 19, et ce en fonction de sa position par rapport à la base génératrice de vapeur 3.Such a configuration of the steam generating base 3 and the tank 6 in particular allows a user to easily and visually check the level of liquid in the tank 6 as well during inactive ironing phases as during the active ironing phases. Indeed, during the inactive ironing phases, the user can easily view the liquid level in the tank 6 via the outer peripheral wall 19 of the container 6, and during the active ironing phases, the user can easily view the level of liquid in the reservoir 6 via the viewing opening 13 and the viewing wall 16 or via the outer peripheral wall 19, and this depending on its position relative to the steam generating base 3.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation de l'invention non représenté sur les figures, l'ouverture de visualisation 13 pourrait être fermée par une fenêtre transparente ou translucide.According to another embodiment of the invention not shown in the figures, the viewing aperture 13 could be closed by a transparent or translucent window.

Comme il va de soi, l'invention ne se limite pas à la seule forme d'exécution de cet appareil de repassage, décrite ci-dessus à titre d'exemple.It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the sole embodiment of this ironing appliance, described above as an example.
