Description

FIELD OF TECHNOLOGY

The invention relates to a garment steamer.

The invention can be applied in the field of clothing care.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Vertical garment steamers are known with a stand assembly to which an ironing board is attached. The ironing board is used to form a back support for garments to be steamed.

However, in these known devices, the ironing board is attached in a vertical direction, which can be inconvenient when used to steam a garment on the ironing board.

WO 2019/174363 A1 discloses an ironing board assembly and an ironing device.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

The object of the invention is to provide an improved garment steamer for the treatment of a garment which eliminates or partially eliminates the aforementioned problems.

[0010] The invention is defined by the independent claims. The dependent claims define preferred embodiments.

In this regard, the garment steamer according to the invention comprises:

- base,

- a strut assembly extending from the base, said strut assembly comprising an upper strut section and a middle strut section,

- telescopic connection for the movable connection of the upper section of the column and the middle section of the column,

- an ironing board to support the garment during processing,

- the first swivel to connect the ironing board and the top section of the rack,

- a connecting arm having a fixed length and located between the ironing board and the middle section of the rack,

- a second swivel for connecting the first end of the connecting arm and the ironing board,

- a third swivel for connecting the second end of the connecting arm and the middle section of the column.

Since the lever member has a fixed length, the rotation of the ironing board around the first pivot causes the height of the first pivot to change as the ironing board rotates. In other words, changing the height of the first articulation causes the ironing board to rotate at different angles. The change in this height is compensated by the telescopic connection.

This solution provides a simple, clear, intuitive tilting of the ironing board, in which the user can conveniently adjust the angle of the ironing board.

In particular, the ironing board can be tilted until it reaches a horizontal position. This horizontal ironing board position provides the same high level of comfort for relatively long garments (such as trousers and long sleeved business shirts) as with a steam iron on a traditional horizontal ironing board, but in this case with a vertical garment steamer.

Preferably, the garment steamer further comprises a locking mechanism for locking the position of the top section of the rack relative to the middle section of the rack. This makes it possible to securely fix the ironing board in a predetermined tilted position.

Detailed explanations and other aspects of the invention will be presented below.
