Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of household ironing appliances comprising an iron and a base connected to the iron by a cord, the iron comprising a sole surmounted by a body on which is arranged a gripping handle, and relates more particularly to an apparatus in which the base comprises a storage cavity for placing the iron and a carrying handle for moving the apparatus.
  • a household appliance comprising an iron connected by a cord to a portable base, the base comprising a storage cavity for placing the iron and comprising a carrying handle to more easily move the appliance.
  • the iron is simply placed and held by gravity in the storage cavity.
  • Such an arrangement does not ensure both good support and easy installation or extraction of the iron from the storage cavity.
  • the storage cavity has a shape adjusted to the shape of the iron, to ensure good retention of the iron on the base, then the installation and extraction of the iron is made more difficult and requires increased attention from the user.
  • the storage cavity has a looser shape, so that the iron can be put in place or removed more easily, then the iron is not properly held in the storage cavity when transporting the base, at the risk of damaging it or even falling.
  • the present invention aims to remedy all or part of these drawbacks.
  • the subject of the invention is a household ironing appliance comprising an iron and a base connected to the iron by a cord, the iron comprising a sole surmounted by a body on which a handle is arranged gripping device, the base comprising a storage cavity for placing the iron and a carrying handle for moving the device, characterized in that the handle of the iron is arranged cantilevered relative to the sole and in that the storage cavity comprises a peripheral wall which at least partially envelops the body of the iron when the latter rests in the storage cavity, the handle comprising a rear end which is held in position in the storage cavity by magnetic means.
  • the device may also have one or more of the following characteristics, taken alone or in combination.
  • the ironing soleplate has a pointed front end, the peripheral wall matching the shape of the front end and the side edges of the soleplate of the iron.
  • the magnetic means are configured to release the iron and not cause the base to lift when traction is exerted by the user on the handle of the iron.
  • Such a characteristic makes it possible to have magnetic means ensuring that the iron is immobilized in the storage cavity when transporting the device without, however, allowing the device to be transported by the handle of the iron.
  • the magnetic means comprise a magnet carried by the handle of the iron, or by the base, which cooperates with a ferromagnetic material carried by the base, or by the iron.
  • the base comprises a shape and/or a first series of feet adapted to allow the base to rest on the support in a first stable position and a shape and/or a second series of feet adapted to allow the base to rest on the support in a second stable position, distinct from the first stable position.
  • Such a characteristic makes it possible to increase the ergonomics of use of the base by offering the user the possibility of arranging the base in two positions, one or the other of these positions being able to be preferred for the use of the device or for its storage.
  • the first stable position corresponds to a vertical position of the base in which the rear end of the handle is placed above the body of the iron when the iron is placed in the storage cavity.
  • the iron extends substantially vertically in the storage cavity when the base occupies the vertical position.
  • the second stable position corresponds to a horizontal position of the base in which the storage cavity is located on the upper part of the base and in which the rear end of the handle is disposed at or below the body of the iron when the iron rests in the storage cavity.
  • the storage cavity comprises at least one end which forms a projecting part on the base, at least one of said main feet being carried by the projecting part.
  • the carrying handle is placed on the side of the base receiving the rear end of the handle when the iron is placed in the storage cavity.

  • the base 2 contains, in a manner known per se, a tank 20 provided with a filling hatch 21 and a pump, not visible in the figures, which draws water from the tank 20 to send it through a hose integrated into cord 3, towards iron 1.
  • the iron 1 comprises a flat sole 10, surmounted by a body 11 and comprises a gripping handle 12 comprising a front end attached to the body 11 and a free rear end projecting laterally from the body 11, the handle 12 being arranged cantilever relative to the sole 10.
  • the body 11 contains in a manner known per se a foundry, not visible in the figures, which is in thermal contact with the sole 10 and which comprises a heating resistor, regulated by means of a thermostat, advantageously non-adjustable, making it possible to maintain the temperature of the sole 10 around a set temperature of around 135°C.
  • the foundry is preferably made of aluminum and includes a instantaneous vaporization chamber into which water from the reservoir 20 is injected by the pump, the operation of the pump being controlled by a trigger 13 disposed under the front end of the handle 12.
  • the pump and the vaporization chamber are advantageously sized to allow the production of a steam flow rate of around 25 gr/min continuously when the trigger 13 is actuated.
  • the steam produced by the vaporization chamber is diffused through steam outlet holes 14 provided on a flat ironing surface of the soleplate 10, the latter conventionally comprising a pointed front end 10A and a rounded rear end 10B.
  • the cord 3 exits the iron 1 through an opening provided on an upper surface of the handle 12 and is equipped with a cord guide device 4 which maintains the cord 3 in a direction inclined towards the rear of the handle 12.
  • the rear end of the handle 12 advantageously has a beveled shape comprising a flat rear surface 12A forming, with the plane of the sole 10, a V which has an obtuse angle ⁇ of the order of 145°.
  • the base 2 has, in profile view, a general oval shape and has a potbellied end comprising a first series of feet 22A, 22B, 22C, called main feet, on which the base 2 can rest stably in a vertical position, illustrated on the figure 1 , and a tapered end, of narrower width, equipped with a carrying handle 23.
  • the base 2 has a width of between 18 and 25 cm at the level of its potbellied end and a width of between 5 and 15 cm at its tapered end.
  • the base 2 has a rear face, substantially flat, comprising a second series of feet 24A, 24B, 24C, called lateral feet, advantageously made of elastomer, on which it can rest stably in a horizontal position, illustrated in the Figure 6 .
  • Base 2 also has a front face, visible on the figure 4 , comprising a storage cavity 25 in which the iron 1 can be placed during inactive phases of ironing and storage.
  • This storage cavity 25 has a bottom consisting of a front plane and a rear plane arranged in a V, the front plane comprising protruding pads 26 on which the sole 10 of the iron 1 rests and the rear plane having a surface of support 25A on which the rear surface 12A of the handle 12 rests.
  • the support surface 25A has an inclination adapted so that the rear surface 12A of the handle 12 extends parallel to the support surface 25A when the sole 10 rests against the shoes 26.
  • the support surface 25A and the end of the handle 12 of the iron 1 are mutually attracted towards each other by magnetic attraction.
  • the support surface 25A may include a magnet 27 which cooperates with a ferromagnetic material, such as a metal plate 12B, placed on the rear surface 12A of the handle 12.
  • the magnet 27 is dimensioned to exert sufficient force to hold the rear end of the handle 12 in position against the bottom of the cavity 25 during transport of the base 2 but without however generating a lifting of the base 2 when the user pulls on the handle 12 to extract the iron 1 from its storage cavity 25.
  • the user can extract the iron 1 from the storage cavity 25 without causing a lifting of the base 2, whether the latter rests in the horizontal position or in the vertical position.
  • the storage cavity 25 comprises a peripheral wall 25B which matches the shape of the front end and the side edges of the soleplate 10 of the iron.
  • This peripheral wall 25B advantageously extends along the edge of the front plane of the storage cavity 25 so as to laterally guide the front end of the iron 1 in the storage cavity 25.
  • the peripheral wall 25B laterally covers the body 11 at a height of less than 5 cm when the iron 1 is placed in the storage cavity 25 so as to facilitate the installation and extraction of the iron 1.
  • the depth of the storage cavity 25 at the level of the pads 26 is preferably less than 5 cm.
  • the depth of the storage cavity 25 oscillates between a minimum depth, close to zero, at the level of the zone receiving the rear end of the handle 12 and a maximum depth of the order of 5 cm at the level of the area receiving the rear end of the sole 10, the depth at the level of the area receiving the front end of the iron being less than 3 cm.
  • the front plane of the storage cavity 25 and the peripheral wall 25B have a pointed end which projects from the base 2, this pointed end supporting one of the main feet 22A, 22B, 22C, the other two main feet being supported by two wings 20A, 20B which project from the rear face of the base 2.
  • the front plane of the storage cavity 25, supporting the pads 26, is inclined relative to the rear face of the base 2 at an angle advantageously between 20° and 50° so that the pointed end of the wall peripheral 25B receiving the foot 22C is offset towards the outside of the base 2.
  • Such a characteristic makes it possible in particular to increase the distance between the foot 22C and the feet 22A and 22B and therefore the stability of the base 2 in the vertical position .
  • Such an inclination of the storage cavity 25 also has the advantage of improving the ergonomics of use of the device by facilitating the introduction and extraction of the iron 1 in the storage cavity 25 by a movement vertical movement of the iron 1, when the base 2 occupies the vertical position or by a horizontal movement of the iron 1 when the base 2 occupies the horizontal position.
  • Such an inclination of the storage cavity 25 also makes it better visible to the user and therefore simplifies the installation of the iron 1 in the latter.
  • the carrying handle 23 has a body in the shape of an inverted U which has a first end 23A which extends from a first side face of the base 2 and a second end 23B which extends from a second side face, opposite the first side face of the base 2.
  • the first side face of the base 2 comprises, in the extension of the carrying handle 23, a storage sheath 28 in which the cord 3 connecting the base to the iron 1, can be inserted by being folded in the form of a loop.
