Definitions

  • the invention relates to a garment steamer.
  • the invention may be used in the field of garment care.
  • Stand garment steamers with pole(s) to which an ironing board is attached are known.
  • the ironing board is used to create a back support for the garments being steamed.
  • the ironing board is hanged vertically, which may create user inconveniences during steaming.
  • the garment steamer comprises a base, a pole assembly mounted on the base, a board connected to the pole assembly via a first pivot coupling extending along an horizontal axis, an arm element arranged between the pole assembly and the board.
  • the arm element comprises a foldable structure adapted to take:
  • This solution provides a simple, preferably one-hand operation board tilting experience, whereby user can conveniently adjust the board angle single-handedly, and at the same time enjoys firm board at locked positions.
  • the first angular position of the board defines an angle in the range [0; 10] degrees between the board and the vertical direction, resulting in the board extending nearly vertically.
  • the second angular position of the board defines an angle in the range [10;90] degrees between the board and the vertical direction, resulting in the board having a certain inclination, up to extending horizontally.
  • Fig.1 depicts a garment steamer 100 according to the invention with a board taking a first angular position
  • Fig.2 depicts a front view of the garment steamer of Fig.1 .
  • the garment steamer 100 comprises:
  • the arm element 104 comprises a foldable structure adapted to take:
  • the length L corresponds to the straight distance (i.e. span) between the point of connection of the arm element 104 with the board 103, and the point of connection of the arm element 104 with the pole assembly 102.
  • the first pivot coupling C1 is arranged in an upper half portion of the board 103, as illustrated.
  • Fig.3 depicts the garment steamer 100 according to the invention with a board 103 taking a second angular position.
  • Fig.4A-Fig.4B-Fig.4C depict various views of a garment steamer 100 according to the invention with a board 103 taking different angular positions between a first angular position and a second angular position.
  • Fig.4A depicts the garment steamer 100 according to the invention with a board 103 taking a first angular position.
  • the first angular position of the board 103 defines an angle A1 in the range [0;10] degrees between the surface of the board and the vertical direction YY.
  • the arm element 104 is folded and its length L has a value L1, which may be close to 0.
  • Fig.4C depicts the garment steamer 100 according to the invention with a board 103 taking a second angular position.
  • the second angular position of the board 103 defines an angle A2 in the range [10;90] degrees between the surface of the board and the vertical direction YY.
  • the arm element 104 is unfolded and its length L has a value L2.
  • the angle A2 is in the range [20;40] degrees.
  • Fig.4B depicts the garment steamer 100 according to the invention with a board 103 taking an angular position defining an angle between angle A1 and angle A2.
  • the arm element 104 is between a folded configuration and an unfolded configuration, and its length L has a value between L1 and L2. This illustrates a situation where user is adjusting the angular position of the board to reach either the first angular position or to reach the second angular position.
  • Fig.5 depicts a three-dimensional zoomed-in view of a garment steamer according to the invention with a board taking a second angular position.
  • the foldable structure of the arm element 104 comprises a first portion P1 and a second portion P2 being connected with each other via a second pivot coupling C2.
  • the first portion P1 is connected to the board 103 via a third pivot coupling C3.
  • the third pivot coupling C3 is arranged in a lower portion of the board 103, as illustrated.
  • the second portion P2 is connected to the pole assembly 102 via a fourth pivot coupling C4.
  • a rotatable lever 105 is attached to the board 103 for creating a force F1 against said first portion P1 to facilitate the rotation of the first portion P1 around the third pivot coupling C3 between the unfolded configuration and the folded configuration.
  • the force F1 is illustrated in Fig.7 which depicts a cross-section zoomed-in view of a garment steamer according to the invention with a board taking a second angular position.
  • Fig.6 depicts a cross-section zoomed-in view of a garment steamer according to the invention with a board taking a first angular position
  • the rotatable lever 105 is spring-loaded with a spring 106.
  • the rotatable lever 105 comprises a catch element 107 adapted to hook, in the folded configuration of the arm element 104, a portion 108 attached to the pole assembly 102.
  • the first portion P1 comprises a rib 109 adapted to rest, in the folded configuration of the arm element 104, against a portion 108 attached to the pole assembly 102.
  • portion 108 extends horizontally.
  • the rib 109 is also illustrated in Fig.9 .
  • the pole assembly 102 comprises at least one vertical pole.
  • the first pivot coupling C1 is arranged at a top part of the at least one vertical pole.
  • the pole assembly 102 comprises a first vertical pole VP1 and a second vertical pole VP2.
  • the second portion P2 defines a V shape having a first leg directing towards the first vertical pole VP1, and a second leg directing towards the second vertical pole VP2.
  • This specific shape of the second portion P2 is advantageous to uniformly transfer the pressing force onto both vertical poles instead of onto the centre point of element 108, resulting in better balance of the garment steamer.
  • the second portion P2 is detachably connected to the pole assembly 102 by means of locking means.
  • the locking means comprise a first strap element S1 adapted to lock with the first vertical pole VP1 and a second strap element S2 adapted to lock with the second vertical pole VP2.
  • S1 and S2 are adapted to provide sufficient gripping onto the vertical poles VP1 and VP2 respectively to prevent S1 and S2 from sliding down upon usage, due to repeated pressing force from the board 103.
  • a rubber pad 111 is inserted inside S1 and S2 to provide effective grip upon locking. This is illustrated in the zoomed-in view of S1 in Fig.11a .
  • the vertical pole VP 1 and the second vertical pole VP2 are telescopic, resulting in that each of the vertical pole comprises a lower part cooperating with an upper part via locking means TS1 and TS2, as illustrated in Fig.5 .
  • the first strap element S1 is locked on the first vertical pole VP1 at a position below the locking means TS1
  • the second strap element S2 is locked on the second vertical pole VP2 at a position below the locking means TS2.
  • This is advantageous as this allows the strap element S1 and S2, upon unlocking, to slide downward along the vertical poles when the vertical poles VP1 and VP2 are lowered. Once the new height is determined, S1 and S2 have to be locked back.
  • Fig.8 depicts a zoomed-in view of a garment steamer 100 according to the invention when the board 103 is taking a first angular position, with the catch element 107 in a hooked position on the portion 108.
  • Fig.9 depicts a detailed zoomed-in view of the garment steamer of Fig.8 .
  • Fig.10 depicts a zoomed-in view of a garment steamer according to the invention with a board 103 taking a first angular position, with the catch element 107 in a non-hooked position on the portion 108. This situation happens when the user exerts a force on the lever 105 in the direction D1, as illustrated in Fig.7 .
  • Fig.11A-Fig.11B depict two views under different angles of a garment steamer according to the invention, with an arm element 104 being detached from a pole assembly 102 of the garment steamer.
  • the portion 108 is detachably connected to the pole assembly 102.
  • the portion 108 is attached to the second portion P2 and gets connected to the pole assembly 102 when the locking means S1 and S2 are locked on the vertical poles. Having the portion 108 being detachably connected to the pole assembly 102 is advantageous to easily dismantle and store the garment steamer after use.
  • the straight line joining C3 and C4 preferably does not pass through C2.
  • C2 should be slight below the straight line joining C3 and C4. That means P1 and P2 form a large angle of slight less than 180 degree for example 177 degree.
  • An extended arm 110a (illustrated in Fig.7 ) from the lever 105 pushes against an extended arm 110b of the first portion P1, resulting in an uplift motion D2-D3 at the pivot coupling C2, and then in the collapsing/folding of the first portion P1 against the second portion P2.
  • the vertical position is locked by the catch 107 that hooks onto the rod 108.
  • the rib 109 from the first portion P1 is resting above the rod 108.
  • the catch and the rib both act to keep the board 103 firm at its vertical position.
