  • Fig.3B depicts a second embodiment of a lever used in a garment steamer according to the invention.
  • Fig.3B only differs from Fig.3A in that the lever 106 is shaped differently.
  • the gorooves G1 and G2 are arranged are the same location as in Fig.3A compared to second axis A2.
  • the lever 106 comprises an extended arm (bended portion) where the grooves G1 and G2 are arranged. Compared to Fig.3A , this shape for the lever 106 is less bulky and is cost-saving.
  • Fig.3C depicts a third embodiment of a lever 106 used in a garment steamer according to the invention.
  • the lever 106 comprises a hollow area HH.
  • the plurality of grooves 108 are arranged along an inner periphery PP of the hollow area HH.
  • the hollow area is completely closed.
  • the inner periphery PP comprises a curved portion facing the plurality of grooves.
  • curved it is meant a portion without angular portions to avoid the stud element bumping against some protruding parts inside the hollow area.
  • the curved portion is a portion of a circle, an arch, or any curved portion.
  • the length of the lever 106 between the second axis A2 and the extremity of the lever held by user is such as to create a sufficient momentum around the second axis A2 to easily rotating the ironing board.
  • this length of lever 106 is in the range [7;20] cm.
  • Fig.4A depicts a partial view of a garment steamer according to the invention, with an ironing board extending vertically.
  • Fig.4B depicts a partial view of a garment steamer according to the invention, with an ironing board being inclined compared to a vertical direction.
  • the angle AA is 30 degrees.
  • the first groove G1 is arranged such that when the stud element 109 cooperates with the first groove G1, the ironing board 103 is substantially parallel to the vertical axis YY, as illustrated in Fig.4A .
  • the second groove G2 is arranged such that when the stud element 109 cooperates with the second groove G2, the ironing board 103 is rotated with an angle AA being in the range [10;90] degrees compared to the vertical axis YY, as illustrated in Fig.4B .
  • segment A1-G1 and segment A1-G2 corresponds to the rotation angle of the ironing board between two successive positions, when the stud element matches successively with two successive grooves, such as G1 and G2.
  • the lever 106 is spring-loaded by a spring 110 arranged around the second axis A2.
  • the spring 110 creates a force momentum such that the grooves are exerting a force onto the stud element.
  • This spring 110 enhances the lock/unlock feeling before each change of angular position of the ironing board via user action on the lever 106.
  • one extremity of the spring 110 cooperates with a third groove G3 arranged in the lever 106, so that the spring is better kept in position.
  • Another extremity of the spring 110 is in contact with ironing board 103.
  • Fig.5 depicts a partial view of a garment steamer according to the invention, with a focus on some specific parameters.
  • the projected distance d1 between the first axis A1 and the stud element 109, and the projected distance d2 between the first axis A1 and the second axis A2 have substantially the same value.
  • substantially the same value it is meant a difference up to +/- 10 % between those distances.
  • the groves 108 are arranged along the perimeter of a circle with the first axis A1 as the center of the circle.
  • the coupling element 104, the pivot coupling 107 and the stud element 109 are positioned relatively to each other such that the angle BB between:
  • This angle BB is the consideration to place the pivot coupling 107 and the stud element 109, with the ironing board 103 in vertical position. In other words, the angle BB determines the size of the product.
  • the pivot coupling 107 and the stud element will clash each other, or they will be too small to have sufficient strength. If the angle is larger than 55 degrees, the pivot coupling 107 will be too much protruding towards the board, or the stud element will be shifted too far away beyond the boundary of the pole assembly opposite to ironing board direction, resulting in unreasonably bulky product.
  • angle BB in the range [15;55] degrees provides an optimal compromise.

  • the contact points are the intersection points of line A3 and the circumference of the stud element 109.
  • This lock ensures that the ironing board cannot rotate about the first axis A1, unless the grooves and the stud element 109 are disengaged by rotating the lever about the second axis A2.
  • the two opposite walls extend parallel to each other.
  • the walls W1/W2 are perpendicular to line A3 at those contact points.
  • the walls W1/W2 extend beyond the contact points towards the lead in part of the lock (open end) at a length of > 0.1mm as illustrated in Fig.6A .
  • each wall W1/W2 comprises a tapered angle of less than 10 degrees flaring out towards the open end, preferably in the range [5;10] degrees.
