- the amount of the steam flow passing through the grid 7 is much greater than that passing through the bypass orifice 25A thanks to both the passage section ratio between the grid 7 and the bypass orifice 25A serving to limit the volume flow of steam via the bypass orifice 25A, and the presence of the deflector 25B which directs the flow of steam from the bypass orifice 25A.
- the evaporation of the water creates the formation of a layer of calcium carbonate in the bottom of the vaporization chamber 3 which gradually disintegrates into small particles of scale under the effect in particular of the expansion of the heating body 2 during cooling phases between two ironing sessions.
- the scale particles present in the vaporization chamber 3 are partly carried by the first stream of steam towards the grid 7, and partly sent by the second stream towards the bypass orifice 25A.

- the movement of the scale particles towards the container 6 is also effected by gravity each time the iron 1 is placed on its heel 12.
- the scale particles which are transported by the second vapor stream must make a turn of the order of 90 ° upwards at the level of the deflector 25B in order to be able to pass through the bypass orifice 25A. So the Most of the scale particles carried by the second vapor stream fall to the bottom of the duct 25 by gravity and will be sent to the grid 7 by the first vapor stream by drag effect. Only the finest and lightest scale particles, practically invisible to the eye, can pass through the bypass port 25A and the grid 7, and escape through the vapor outlet holes of the sole 10.
- the steam flow can continue to travel towards the steam outlet holes 10A through the vapor bypass branch via the bypass orifice 25A, most of the particles falling by gravity into the bottom of the duct 25 by virtue of the turn of the order of 90 ° made by the flow of vapor at the inlet of bypass port 25A and only the lightest scale particles that can pass through bypass port 25A.
- the dimension of the passage section of the bypass orifice 25A is determined so as to ensure a minimum flow of steam of the order of 10 g / min to the steam outlet holes 10A when the grid 7 is completely clogged by scaling, allowing a minimum steam flow to be obtained to guarantee acceptable ironing performance.
- the second portion of the main steam distribution branch downstream of the grid 7 also comprises a recovery and / or discharge zone 25D of the condensed water disposed in the vicinity of the bypass orifice 25A, making it possible to recover the condensed water downstream of the grid 7 and to evacuate it towards the bypass orifice 25A by gravity in the direction of the vaporization chamber 3 in order to avoid water projections through the vapor outlet holes 10A sole 10.
- the iron 1 thus produced therefore has the advantage of ensuring a minimum steam flow rate and an acceptable ironing performance when the grid 7 is clogged by scaling, thanks to the presence of the bypass orifice 25A, while keeping very good filtration of scale particles.
- the figure 7 illustrates a second particular embodiment of the invention in which the vapor bypass branch comprises a second deflector 25E formed downstream and in the vicinity of the bypass orifice 25A, extending from the lower wall of the return channel 54 of the second portion of the main steam distribution branch towards a direction against the flow of steam downstream of the grid 7, making it possible to direct a part of the flow of steam flowing in the return channel 54 towards bypass port 25A.
- the part of the steam flow flowing downstream from the grid 7 towards the bypass orifice 25A is then sucked into the first portion of the main steam distribution branch by the venturi effect thanks to the converging section 25C of the steam passage. at the level of the deflector 25B.
- Such a steam bypass branch makes it possible to ensure that no steam flow circulates from the duct 25 to the return channel 54 through the bypass orifice 25A when the grid 7 is not clogged by scaling, and thus ensure that no scale particles pass outside the grid 7.
- the speed of the flow of steam upstream of the grid 7 gradually decreases so that the steam stream can flow to the steam outlet holes 10A through the bypass port 25A to ensure minimum steam flow and acceptable ironing performance.
- the figures 8 to 9 illustrate a third particular embodiment of the invention in which the steam bypass branch comprises a valve 25S, disposed at the bypass orifice 25A.
- the valve 25S is movable between a closed position of the bypass orifice 25A visible at figure 8 , towards which it is returned by gravity and / or by a return spring, and an open position of the bypass orifice 25A visible at the figure 9 to which it is brought when the pressure upstream of the valve exceeds one predetermined threshold.
- the clogging of the grid 7 by scaling generates a rise in pressure in the steam distribution circuit upstream of the grid 7, causing the valve 25S initially to pass from its closed position to its open position when the pressure in the duct 25 of the steam distribution circuit upstream of the grid 7 is greater than the predetermined pressure threshold, the opening of the valve 25S depending on the state of the clogging of the grid 7 and being all the greater as the pressure difference between the first portion and the second portion is significant.
- the user can optionally close and open the valve from outside the iron by means of an actuator, said actuator being advantageously controlled by a control button. command or by a microcontroller connected to a sensor.
- the control button may include a vapor flow sensor downstream of the filter. The opening and / or closing of the valve will be controlled automatically according to the steam flow detected downstream of the filter.
- the steam bypass branch may include several bypass orifices to allow a greater flow of steam when the grid is clogged with scale particles.
