Le corps renferme une fonderie qui est au contact thermique de la semelle 30 et qui comprend une résistance chauffante, régulée au moyen d'un thermostat non réglable, permettant de maintenir la température de la semelle 30 autour d'une température de consigne de l'ordre de 135°C.Preferably, the iron 3 comprises a flat soleplate 30 surmounted by a body which comprises a gripping handle 31 comprising a free rear end projecting laterally from the body. The body contains a foundry which is in thermal contact with the sole 30 and which comprises a heating resistor, regulated by means of a non-adjustable thermostat, making it possible to maintain the temperature of the sole 30 around a set temperature of the order of 135°C.

La fonderie est avantageusement réalisée en aluminium et elle comporte une chambre de vaporisation instantanée dans laquelle de l'eau issue du réservoir 10 est injectée par la pompe, le fonctionnement de la pompe étant commandé classiquement par une gâchette portée par le fer à repasser 3. La pompe et la chambre de vaporisation sont avantageusement dimensionnées pour permettre la production d'un débit de vapeur de l'ordre de 25 gr/mn en continu lorsque la gâchette est actionnée, la semelle 30 comprenant classiquement des trous 30A pour l'émission de vapeur (visibles sur la figures 9)The foundry is advantageously made of aluminum and it comprises an instantaneous vaporization chamber into which water from the reservoir 10 is injected by the pump, the operation of the pump being conventionally controlled by a trigger carried by the iron 3. The pump and the vaporization chamber are advantageously sized to allow the production of a steam flow of the order of 25 g/min continuously when the trigger is actuated, the soleplate 30 conventionally comprising holes 30A for the emission of steam (visible on the figure 9 )

L'appareil comporte également un socle 4 sur lequel vient reposer de manière amovible la base 1, cette dernière étant munie d'une poignée 11 à son extrémité supérieure pour faciliter son transport. Le socle 4 comporte avantageusement une empreinte épousant le contour externe de la base et dans laquelle vient s'engager l'extrémité inférieure de la base 1.The apparatus also comprises a base 4 on which the base 1 rests removably, the latter being provided with a handle 11 at its upper end to facilitate its transport. The base 4 advantageously comprises an imprint matching the outer contour of the base and in which the lower end of the base 1 engages.

De manière préférentielle, le socle 4 comporte deux mâts 40 télescopiques comprenant une extrémité supérieure supportant une planche de repassage 5 rigide comprenant une surface de repassage, avantageusement plane, destinée à être recouverte d'une housse, non représentée sur les figures, et sur laquelle du linge à défroisser peut être disposé.Preferably, the base 4 comprises two telescopic masts 40 comprising an upper end supporting a rigid ironing board 5 comprising an ironing surface, advantageously flat, intended to be covered with a cover, not shown in the figures, and on which laundry to be smoothed can be arranged.

La planche de repassage 5 est montée pivotante sur l'extrémité des mâts 40 au moyen d'un dispositif d'articulation permettant d'immobiliser la planche de repassage 5 selon différentes inclinaisons et avantageusement dans une position verticale, dans une position horizontale, et dans une position intermédiaire, illustrée sur la figure 1, dans laquelle la planche de repassage 5 forme avantageusement un angle de l'ordre de 30° par rapport à la verticale.The ironing board 5 is pivotally mounted on the end of the masts 40 by means of a hinge device making it possible to immobilize the ironing board 5 according to different inclinations and advantageously in a vertical position, in a horizontal position, and in an intermediate position, illustrated on the figure 1 , in which the ironing board 5 advantageously forms an angle of the order of 30° with respect to the vertical.

Ce dispositif d'articulation est par exemple conforme à celui décrit plus en détails dans la demande de brevet déposée en France par la demanderesse sous le numéro de dépôt FR 1756063 .This hinge device is for example in accordance with that described in more detail in the patent application filed in France by the applicant under the filing number FR 1756063 .

De manière préférentielle, l'un des mâts 40 télescopiques supporte un bras 7 comprenant une ouverture 70 dans laquelle est inséré le mât 40, le bras 7 comprenant classiquement, au niveau de cette ouverture 70, un levier de serrage (non représenté sur les figures) permettant de fixer le bras sur le mât 40 à la hauteur souhaitée par l'utilisateur.Preferably, one of the telescopic masts 40 supports an arm 7 comprising an opening 70 into which the mast 40 is inserted, the arm 7 conventionally comprising, at this opening 70, a clamping lever (not shown in the figures ) to fix the arm on the mast 40 at the height desired by the user.

Le bras forme une embase 7 sur laquelle est disposé un dispositif support 8 destiné à recevoir le fer à repasser 3 lors des phases inactives de repassage/défroissage, le dispositif support 8 étant avantageusement fixé de manière amovible sur l'embase 7 et pouvant être fixé sur ce dernier selon plusieurs orientations distinctes.The arm forms a base 7 on which is arranged a support device 8 intended to receive the iron 3 during inactive ironing/crease-smoothing phases, the support device 8 being advantageously fixed in a removable manner on the base 7 and being able to be fixed on the latter according to several distinct orientations.

Conformément aux figures 3 à 4, le dispositif support 8 comporte un corps en matière plastique présentant une surface sensiblement plane formant un écran de protection 80 s'étendant en regard de la semelle 30 du fer à repasser, lorsque le fer à repasser 3 repose sur le dispositif support 8 dans une position de rangement illustrée sur les figures 1 et 2.In accordance with figures 3 to 4 , the support device 8 comprises a plastic body having a substantially flat surface forming a protective screen 80 extending opposite the soleplate 30 of the iron, when the iron 3 rests on the support device 8 in a storage position shown on figure 1 and 2 .

Cet écran de protection 80 est avantageusement incliné de l'ordre de 10° par rapport au plan vertical, lorsque le dispositif support 8 est attaché au bras 7, l'écran de protection 80 comportant préférentiellement deux nervures 81 en relief supportant des patins 82 thermiquement isolants contre lesquels la semelle 30 peut éventuellement venir s'appuyer lorsque le fer à repasser 3 repose sur le dispositif support 8.This protective screen 80 is advantageously inclined by about 10° with respect to the vertical plane, when the support device 8 is attached to the arm 7, the protective screen 80 preferably comprising two ribs 81 in relief supporting thermally insulating pads 82 against which the sole 30 can possibly come to rest when the iron 3 rests on the support device 8.

Le dispositif support 8 comporte également un arceau 83 de maintien qui prolonge latéralement l'écran de protection 80 et forme une boucle s'étendant devant l'écran de protection 80, l'arceau 83 enveloppant latéralement une partie du corps du fer à repasser 3.The support device 8 also comprises a retaining hoop 83 which laterally extends the protective screen 80 and forms a loop extending in front of the protective screen 80, the hoop 83 laterally enveloping a part of the body of the iron 3 .

Plus particulièrement selon l'invention, le fer à repasser 3 est maintenu en équilibre stable dans la position de rangement par l'interaction d'un doigt de maintien 84, avantageusement porté par l'arceau 83 du dispositif support, avec une ouverture 33 ménagée dans le corps du fer à repasser 3, le doigt de maintien 84 venant s'insérer dans l'ouverture 33 lors de la mise en place du fer à repasser 3 sur le dispositif support 8.More particularly according to the invention, the iron 3 is kept in stable equilibrium in the storage position by the interaction of a holding finger 84, advantageously carried by the hoop 83 of the support device, with an opening 33 formed in the body of the iron 3, the holding finger 84 being inserted into the opening 33 when the iron 3 is placed on the support device 8.

Conformément aux figures 3 et 4, le doigt de maintien 84 fait avantageusement saillie vers le haut au niveau d'une partie avant de l'arceau 83 située en face de l'écran de protection 80 et vient s'engager dans l'ouverture 33 de forme complémentaire ménagée sur l'extrémité arrière du corps du fer à repasser 3. Cette ouverture 33 est avantageusement ménagée au pied de la poignée 31, dans la partie du corps s'étendant entre la poignée 31 et la semelle 30, la distance entre l'ouverture et la surface extérieure de la poignée 31 étant avantageusement de l'ordre de 1,5 cm à 2 cm de manière à ce que l'ouverture ne soit pas masquée par les doigts de la main lorsque ces derniers saisissent la poignée 31.In accordance with figure 3 and 4 , the holding finger 84 advantageously projects upwards at the level of a front part of the hoop 83 located opposite the protective screen 80 and engages in the opening 33 of complementary shape provided on the rear end of the body of the iron 3. This opening 33 is advantageously formed at the foot of the handle 31, in the part of the body extending between the handle 31 and the sole 30, the distance between the opening and the surface outside of the handle 31 being advantageously of the order of 1.5 cm to 2 cm so that the opening is not masked by the fingers of the hand when the latter grasp the handle 31.

Comme on peut mieux le voir sur les figures 5 et 6, le doigt de maintien 84 présente préférentiellement une section transversale en forme de T, le doigt de maintien présentant une face arrière comprenant une nervure 84A verticale de guidage. L'ouverture 33 ménagée sur l'extrémité arrière du corps présente également une section transversale en forme de T, l'ouverture 33 présentant une rainure de guidage 33A destinée à recevoir la nervure 84A.As can best be seen on the figure 5 and 6 , the holding finger 84 preferably has a T-shaped cross-section, the holding finger having a rear face comprising a vertical guide rib 84A. The opening 33 formed on the rear end of the body also has a T-shaped cross section, the opening 33 having a guide groove 33A intended to receive the rib 84A.

Le doigt de maintien 84 comporte avantageusement une forme convergente qui favorise son introduction dans l'ouverture 33 du fer à repasser, le doigt de maintien 84 présentant par exemple deux bords latéraux inclinés qui convergent en direction du bord supérieur du doigt de maintien 84.The holding finger 84 advantageously has a convergent shape which favors its introduction into the opening 33 of the iron, the holding finger 84 having for example two inclined side edges which converge towards the upper edge of the holding finger 84.

Conformément à la figure 8, lorsque le fer à repasser 3 est placé dans la position de rangement sur le dispositif support 8, le fer à repasser 3 se trouve maintenu par le doigt de maintien 84 dans une position dans laquelle la semelle 3 est préférentiellement maintenue à distance de l'écran de protection 80 de sorte qu'il résulte un espace entre l'écran de protection 80 et la semelle 30.In accordance with the figure 8 , when the iron 3 is placed in the storage position on the support device 8, the iron 3 is held by the holding finger 84 in a position in which the soleplate 3 is preferentially held at a distance from the protective screen 80 so that a space results between the protective screen 80 and the sole 30.

Un tel espace entre l'écran de protection 80 et la semelle 30 présente l'avantage d'éviter la surchauffe de l'écran de protection 80 sous l'effet de la chaleur dégagée par la semelle 30.Such a space between the protective screen 80 and the sole 30 has the advantage of avoiding overheating of the protective screen 80 under the effect of the heat given off by the sole 30.

Un tel espace permet également d'utiliser le dispositif support 8 lorsque le fer à repasser 3 est équipé d'un accessoire 6 venant se positionner sur la semelle 30 du fer à repasser, tel qu'un accessoire brosse illustré sur la figure 9.Such a space also makes it possible to use the support device 8 when the iron 3 is equipped with an accessory 6 which is positioned on the soleplate 30 of the iron, such as a brush accessory illustrated on the figure 9 .

Ainsi, même lorsque le fer à repasser 3 est équipé d'un tel accessoire 6, il peut être accouplé au dispositif support 8 sans difficulté, l'espace ménagé entre l'écran de protection 80 et la semelle 30 étant adapté pour recevoir l'accessoire brosse, ainsi que cela est illustré sur la figure 10.Thus, even when the iron 3 is equipped with such an accessory 6, it can be coupled to the support device 8 without difficulty, the space provided between the protective screen 80 and the soleplate 30 being adapted to receive the brush attachment, as shown in the figure 10 .

L'appareil ainsi réalisé présente l'avantage de présenter une grande ergonomie d'utilisation tout en étant très économique à fabriquer. En particulier, le dispositif support ainsi réalisé présente l'avantage de permettre l'accrochage du fer à repasser sur le support sans que la présence de la main sur la poignée ne vienne gêner l'accostage du fer à repasser sur le dispositif support. Au contraire, la présence de la main sur la poignée permet à l'utilisateur de positionner correctement le doigt de maintien dans l'ouverture grâce au contact tactile qu'il peut avoir avec ces derniers. De plus, le dispositif support ainsi réalisé présente l'avantage d'assurer un excellent maintien du fer à repasser sur le dispositif support sans risque de surchauffe de ce dernier au contact de la semelle.The device thus produced has the advantage of having great ergonomics of use while being very economical to manufacture. In particular, the support device thus produced has the advantage of allowing the iron to be hung on the support without the presence of the hand on the handle interfering with the docking of the iron on the support device. On the contrary, the presence of the hand on the handle allows the user to correctly position the holding finger in the opening thanks to the tactile contact that he can have with them. In addition, the support device thus produced has the advantage of ensuring excellent retention of the iron on the support device without the risk of the latter overheating in contact with the soleplate.

Enfin, un tel dispositif support procure une plus grande polyvalence d'utilisation en permettant un accrochage fiable et aisé du fer à repasser que ce dernier soit équipé ou non d'un accessoire créant une surépaisseur au niveau de la semelle.Finally, such a support device provides greater versatility of use by allowing reliable and easy attachment of the iron whether or not the latter is equipped with an accessory creating an extra thickness at the level of the sole.

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 in no way limited to the embodiment described and illustrated which has been given only by way of example. Changes remain possible, in particular 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 non représentée, la forme du doigt de maintien pourra être différente, en présentant par exemple une section transversale en croix.Thus, in a variant embodiment not shown, the shape of the holding finger may be different, for example by having a cross-section in cross-section.

Ainsi dans une autre variante de réalisation ne faisant pas partie de la présente invention et non représentée, le doigt de maintien pourra être porté par le fer à repasser et venir s'engager dans une ouverture portée par le dispositif support pour assurer le maintien du fer à repasser sur le dispositif support.Thus in another variant embodiment not forming part of the present invention and not shown, the holding finger may be carried by the iron and come to engage in an opening carried by the support device to ensure the maintenance of the iron. to be ironed on the support device.
