Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present invention relates to a garment steamer.

BACKGROUND OF THE ART

[0002] Garment steamers are used to remove wrinkles from fabrics such as clothing and bedding using steam. Stand clothes steamers contain a steamer attachment that receives steam from the stand base unit, which houses the steam generator and water tank. The stand generally includes a hook or hanger on an upright support from which the item of clothing or other fabric to be steamed is hung.

[0003] The user orients the steamer nozzle relative to the fabric to be treated by holding the steamer nozzle, which is connected to the stand by a hose. During use, steam is expelled from the steamer wand and directed onto the fabric to be treated, which hangs from the rack.

[0004] Stretching the fabric during the steaming operation is known to improve the wrinkle removal effect of applying steam to the fabric. For example, a stand-mounted garment steamer with a treatment board is known in which the fabric to be treated is suctioned to the board while the user can stretch the fabric on the surface of the treatment board.

[0005] It is well known to have a steamer attachment holder on a clothing steamer for storing or temporarily housing the steamer attachment when not in use, such as when clothing is placed on the steamer. Some known garment steamers have a holder protruding from the back of the support post to support the steamer head.

[0006] One disadvantage of such a garment steamer is that by placing the steamer attachment on the rear side of the garment steamer, the position of the steamer attachment becomes hidden and makes it difficult for the user to remove the steamer attachment. In addition, temporary non-use of the steamer wand may cause the steam vents to point toward the user, which could cause discomfort or injury.

[0007] Instead, the holder may be located on the front side. However, the position of the holder on the front side causes the steam hose connected to the steamer wand to interfere with the user when attempting to hang and/or place clothing items on the steamer.

[0008] It is also known to use a docking assembly having a bracket that has a holder at one end and a support connector at the other. The holder is oriented in such a way that it is close to the user and the steam is not released towards the user. Thus, when the holder is located to the right of the support post, for example, it is difficult for a left-handed user to dock and remove it, and vice versa.

[0009] CN205603917U discloses a steamer attachment docking assembly comprising an arm configured to be attached to a garment steamer support post and a holder coupled to the arm. The docking assembly may be mounted on either side of the support post and may have a holder attached to the arm in an orientation in which the steamer nozzle faces away from the user and does not emit steam toward the user. Thus, the docking station can be used by both left-handed and right-handed users, and is positioned so that the steamer nozzle is easily accessible to either user, minimizing the risk of steam burns.

[0010] However, setting up the docking station is time consuming and requires attach and detach operations.

[0011] EP 3 581 700 discloses a device for steaming laundry, including a base connected by a pipeline to an ironing (and/or smoothing) tool, for example an iron. The device has telescopic support posts that support the ironing board, and one of them supports a crossbar, at the end of which there is a support device on which the iron can be placed.

[0012] Thus, there is a need for a garment steamer with a docking unit that substantially alleviates or eliminates one or more of the above problems.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

[0013] The present invention is defined by the claims.

[0014] According to examples, in accordance with one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a garment steamer for treating a garment, comprising:

base;

a steamer nozzle connected to the base via a hose;

a stand assembly connected to the base and extending in an upward direction;

a docking unit for docking with a steamer nozzle, containing:

a bracket having a first end portion and a second end portion, the second end portion being mounted on the stand assembly; And

steamer nozzle holder for detachable support of the steamer nozzle,

characterized in that the docking unit additionally contains:

a first articulation located between the first end portion and the steamer head holder, the first articulation defining a first axis of rotation extending substantially vertically.

[0015] It should be noted that any reference to vertical or horizontal portions refers to the orientations that occur when the garment steamer is used on a horizontal support surface (ie, the floor of a room).

[0016] The first articulation may be used to enable rotary adjustment of the steam head holder without any tool, since it only involves rotating the steam head holder. The steamer head holder can be rotated to a desired position so that the steamer head faces away from the user. Thus, the present invention provides a steamer head support configured to quickly and effortlessly support the preferences of different users.

[0017] The first articulation, for example, allows the steamer head to be rotated between a position in which it generally faces the front side of the steam stand and a position in which it generally faces the opposite side of the steam stand. The first articulation may allow full rotation, or it may be limited, for example, by an angle between two opposite directions (180°).

[0018] The steam nozzle holder, for example, includes a cradle having an end surface covering the steam outlet surface of the steam nozzle. For example, in normal use the bracket runs horizontally.

[0019] The stand assembly preferably includes (at least) a first vertical stand on one side of the garment steamer and a second vertical stand on the opposite side of the garment steamer. The second end part of the bracket is thus configured to be detachably mounted on the first or second vertical posts.

[0020] Thus, the bracket can be mounted on both sides of the garment steamer (on a selected one of the uprights) to support both left- and right-handed operation. This can also be achieved without tools. The bracket can be simply suspended or clamped, or slid on a receiving bracket on vertical posts.

[0021] Each of the first and second uprights, for example, includes a slot device with an elongated opening for releasably receiving a second end portion of the bracket. The steamer attachment bracket can be installed quickly and effortlessly on one of the vertical stands to support the preferences of different users.

[0022] The first hinge connection, for example, is configured to:

ensuring the steamer nozzle holder rotates 360° relative to the bracket or

ensuring rotation of the steamer nozzle holder at an angle in the range from 0° to 180° relative to the bracket.

[0023] A range of 0° to 180°, for example, allows the steamer nozzle holder to be rotated between forward and rear directions.

[0024] The first articulation may include a rotary index mechanism configured to allow the steamer head holder to rotate between predetermined angular positions, for example, at 90° intervals. This makes it easier to find a usable swivel position.

[0025] The rotary index device, for example, includes a resilient protrusion device and a recess device, each of which is located on or around an arc about an axis of rotation between the steamer nozzle holder and the bracket. There may be a single protrusion and a set of multiple recesses, or a single recess and a set of multiple protrusions. Instead, the rotary indexing device may comprise a resilient protrusion device and a resilient protrusion device.

[0026] The device in the form of an elastic protrusion, for example, contains:

a protruding element located on an elastically deformable section of the bracket; or

a protruding element located on a spring (or a separate elastically deformable element) that is mounted on a bracket.

[0027] The steamer nozzle holder, for example, is detachably mounted on the bracket. The steamer nozzle holder, for example, is mounted on a bracket using a clamping mechanism.

[0028] The garment steamer preferably further comprises a treatment board mounted on the stand assembly.

[0029] The treatment board, for example, is articulated relative to the post assembly between a first orientation that is substantially vertical in normal use and a second orientation that is substantially horizontal in normal use. This allows the user to use the treatment board to steam clothes placed on it or to iron clothes on a horizontal surface. Substantially horizontal/vertical means deviation within, for example, 10° from horizontal/vertical.

[0030] A second articulation joint, for example, is located between the stand assembly and the second end portion of the bracket, the second articulation joint defining a second axis of rotation extending vertically (in normal use).

[0031] The second articulation allows the bracket to be rotated, for example, between an extended position and a retracted position. In this way, the steamer head can be moved to different positions for different board configurations to be processed.

[0032] The second articulation may include a limiting mechanism for limiting the angle of rotation of the bracket relative to the stand assembly to a range of 90°. By limiting the bracket rotation to 90°, the steam nozzle holder and steam nozzle can only rotate between the extended position and the retracted position under the board for processing in one direction only. For example, they can be turned towards the rear surface of the vertical board for processing. This may be advantageous since pivoting to a position in front of the treatment board may make it difficult to adjust the treatment board between its different configurations.

[0033] The retracted position allows the arm to remain underneath the treatment board during horizontal steaming so that the user has more room to move around the treatment area.

[0034] The limiting mechanism may include an arcuate recess defining a 90° angle, and a protrusion configured to engage said arcuate recess.

[0035] The steam generator is located, for example, in the base, and the hose is a steam hose. However, an alternative placement of the steam generator in the handle is also possible.

[0036] These and other aspects of the present invention will be apparent from the embodiment(s) described below and explained with reference to these embodiments.

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE INVENTION

[0038] The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0039] It should be understood that this detailed description and specific examples, while indicating exemplary embodiments of apparatus, systems and methods, are for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. These and other features, aspects and advantages of the apparatus, systems and methods of the present invention will become better understood from the following description, the appended claims and the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the drawings are merely schematic and are not necessarily to scale. It should also be understood that the same reference symbols are used throughout the drawings to indicate the same or similar parts.

[0040] The present invention provides a garment steamer with a base, a steamer nozzle connected to the base via a hose, and a stand assembly connected to the base and extending in an upward direction. The docking assembly is provided for mating with the steamer nozzle, bracket and steamer nozzle holder for detachable support of the steamer nozzle. A first swivel joint is located between the bracket and the steam head holder to allow rotary adjustment of the orientation of the steam head holder without the need for any tools. The steam head holder can be rotated to a desired position such that the surfaces of the steam head face in a desired direction, for example, away from the user.

[0041] In FIG. 1 and 2 show a known garment steamer 1 on a stand. The garment steamer 1 on a stand produces steam which is used to heat and moisten the fabric (not shown) to help remove wrinkles from the fabric. Fabrics to be processed include, but are not limited to, clothing. The fabric to be treated is supported by the garment steamer 1 on a stand during treatment.

[0042] The stand garment steamer 1 includes a base unit 2, a treatment board 14, and first and second uprights 19, which together form a stand assembly. Vertical posts 19 support the processing board 14 and extend between the base unit 2 and the processing board 14.

[0043] The base unit 2 has a water tank (not shown) and a steam generator (not shown), in particular a boiler. The base unit 2 has a housing 2a, and a water tank and a steam generator are located in the housing 2a. The water tank stores water which is supplied to the steam generator to be converted into steam. It is understood that the water tank and steam generator may be one piece.

[0044] It should be noted that in an alternative design, the steam generator may be located in a portable steamer head, and the base unit in this case supplies water to the steamer head. They can even have two steam generators: one in the base and one in the steamer head.

[0045] The base unit 2 forms the base 3 of the clothes steamer 1 on a stand. The base 3 forms a flat surface which is configured to be placed on the floor, for example to support the clothes steamer 1 on a stand. It is understood that the base 3 may be formed from two or more flat surfaces extending in a plane, for example the bottom surfaces of four legs (not shown). The base plane 3 generally forms a horizontal plane during use.

[0046] One end of the hose 11 extends from the base unit 2. In the example shown, the hose 11 is a steamer hose and is in fluid communication with the steam generator such that the steam generated by the steam generator flows along the steamer hose 11. The steamer nozzle 5 is located at the other end of the steamer hose 11. The steamer nozzle 5 is in fluid communication with the base unit 2 through a flexible steamer hose 11. Thus, steam from the steam generator is supplied to the nozzle 5 of the steamer.

[0047] The steamer nozzle 5 has a handle 7 and a steamer plate 8. The handle 7 is configured to allow the user to hold the steamer nozzle 5. The steamer plate 8 acts as a steaming surface. The steaming plate 8 is configured to be positioned in front of the fabric to be processed. The handle 7 and the steaming plate 8 are located at opposite ends of the steamer nozzle 5.

[0048] The steamer head 5 is shown supported by a bracket mounted on one of the uprights 19. For example, if the bracket is mounted on the left upright 19 as shown in FIG. 1, it holds the steamer nozzle in such a way that the steam plate 8 faces away from the user.

[0049] The steamer head 5 has a steam outlet 10 shown in FIG. 2. The steam outlet 10 is formed by one or more steam holes through which steam is expelled from the steamer nozzle 5 during use. The steam outlet 10 is in fluid communication with the steamer hose 11. Thus, steam supplied to the steamer nozzle 5 is pushed out of the steamer nozzle 5 through the steam outlet 10.

[0050] The processing board 14 is pivotable about the stand assembly 19 . Thus, the orientation of the processing board 14 allows movement relative to the plane of the base 3. The processing board 14 is shown in FIG. 1 and 2 in vertical orientation. The treatment board 14 acts as a support for the garment to place the fabric thereon and to arrange the fabric in a manner that improves crease removal.

[0051] The processing board 14 is generally rectangular and has a work surface 17. The work surface 17 is generally flat. However, it should be understood that alternative configurations are possible.

[0052] The treatment board 14 is made rigid to withstand the force applied to it by the user during steaming, so that the bending of the working surface 17 is reduced and the fabric remains in place and is stretched correctly. The treatment board 14 includes a hanging member 16 at one end. The hanging element 16 can be, for example, but not limited to a hook or a hanger. Ventilation holes 18 are formed in the working surface 17.

[0053] In FIG. 3 shows an example of a garment steamer in accordance with the present invention. The steamer nozzle 5 is missing from FIG. 3.

[0054] The garment steamer generally has the same structure as the structure of the steamer in FIG. 1, wherein it comprises a base 2 and a post assembly comprising two vertical posts 19 coupled to the base and extending upward toward a processing board 14.

[0055] The structure in FIG. 3 has a docking unit 30 for docking the steamer nozzle. The docking assembly includes a bracket 32 having a first end portion 34 and a second end portion 36. The second end portion 36 is installed in the stand assembly, in particular, on a selected one of the vertical posts 19.

[0056] A steam nozzle holder 38 is installed in the first end portion 34 to releasably support the steam nozzle.

[0057] The first pivot joint 40 is located between the first end portion 34 and the steamer head holder 38, with the first axis of rotation extending vertically (in normal use).

[0058] The steamer nozzle holder 38 defines a cradle having an end surface 42 for covering the steam plate and the steam outlet of the steamer nozzle. The bracket 32 extends horizontally (in normal use) so that when the steamer wand rotates about the first hinge axis, it does so in a horizontal plane.

[0059] The stand assembly includes a first vertical stand on one side of the garment steamer and a second vertical stand on the opposite side of the garment steamer.

[0060] In FIG. 4 shows one of the vertical posts, with a mounting bracket with an extended hole 50 to allow the second end portion 36 of the bracket 32 to be detachably attached to the vertical post. Specifically, the second end portion 36 of the bracket in this example has a hook 52 (shown in FIG. 5) for insertion into the elongated hole 50.

[0061] At each end of the slider bar 54 there is an elongated hole 50. The slider bar is used as a hinge for the spacer (or lever). The slider bar can slide the stand assembly in up and down directions to allow the treatment board to rotate between a vertical orientation and a horizontal orientation. The vertical rack 19 has 3 sections. The portion that has the elongated hole 50 is attached to the top of the middle section of the upright 19. The treatment board is rotated between vertical and horizontal orientations by retracting/extending the upper section of the upright 19 into the middle section.

[0062] In FIG. 5 shows three relative rotational positions of the steam head holder 38 relative to the bracket 32 provided by the first hinge joint. Assuming that the bracket extends laterally outward (i.e., laterally) from the stand assembly, the top image shows the steam head holder facing one of the front or rear sides of the steamer, the middle image shows the steam head holder facing to the other of the front or back, and the bottom image shows the steamer nozzle holder facing laterally inward. The top image shows the rotation axis 39.

[0063] The first articulation may be used to allow rotary adjustment of the steam head holder without any tool since it only involves rotating the steam head holder. The steamer head holder can be rotated to a desired position so that the steamer head faces the desired direction, such as away from the user. Thus, the present invention provides a steamer head support that can be configured to support a user's preference quickly and effortlessly.

[0064] Thus, the first articulation allows the steamer head held in the steamer head holder to rotate between a position in which it generally faces the front side of the steamer stand and a position in which it generally faces the opposite side steamer stands. The pivot joint may be capable of full rotation, or it may be limited, for example, to rotation between two opposite directions shown in the top two images of FIG. 5 (180° apart).

[0065] Thus, the bracket can be mounted on both sides of the garment steamer (on a selected one of the vertical posts 19) to allow both left- and right-handed operation. This can also be done without tools. The bracket can simply be suspended or clamped, or slid onto a receiving bracket on a chosen upright. It can then be rotated so that it faces in the desired direction, typically away from the user, so that the user can hold the steamer wand with the steam outlet facing away from themselves.

[0066] In FIG. 6 shows a clothes steamer designed to be used with the right hand. The user faces the working surface of the board for processing. The docking station 30 is located to the right of the upright, and the steamer attachment holder 38 faces away from the user.

[0067] In FIG. 7 shows a clothes steamer designed to be used with the left hand. The user faces the working surface of the board for processing. The docking unit is located to the left of the vertical post, and the steamer nozzle holder 38 faces away from the user.

[0068] There is a relative rotation of 180° at the first articulation between the configurations in FIG. 6 and 7.

[0069] In FIG. 8 shows a clothes steamer with a board 14 for processing in a horizontal position. The docking station is located directly below the level of the treatment board, and the steamer nozzle holder faces inward.

[0070] The steam head holder 38 may be configured to rotate freely about the bracket, or it may be configured to rotate within a fixed range of movement.

[0071] In addition, the first hinge 40 may include a rotary index mechanism. This allows the steamer nozzle holder to rotate between specified angular positions. This makes it easier to find a usable swivel position.

[0072] For example, the steamer nozzle holder can be indexed to the two end positions shown in the top two images of FIG. 5. It can also be indexed to an intermediate position shown in the bottom image of FIG. 5.

[0073] In FIG. 9 shows the connection between the steamer nozzle holder 38 and the bracket 32 for implementing the rotary index mechanism. Between the steamer nozzle holder and the bracket there is a device in the form of an elastic protrusion and a device in the form of a recess, each of which is located on an arc or around an arc passing around the axis of rotation.

[0074] As an example, in FIG. 9 shows a single elastic projection 90 formed in the bracket and a set of multiple recesses 92 formed in the steamer nozzle holder 38. The steamer nozzle holder is attached to the bracket with a screw 94, which runs along the axis of rotation between them.

[0075] The elastic protrusion in this example is formed on the elastically deformable portion of the bracket. Thus, it is integral with the bracket and in this example is pressed down by the steam head holder, but returns upward when the projection is aligned with the notch 92. Three notches 92 are shown, one for each of the rotation positions in FIG. 5.

[0076] An alternative is to provide a separate extension and a spring between the extension and the bracket to bias the extension.

[0077] In FIG. 9 shows the steamer nozzle holder connected to the bracket using a screw. It can be equipped with a clamping mechanism so that it can be removed without tools.

[0078] In FIG. Figure 10 shows an enlarged view of the rotary index mechanism.

[0079] In FIG. 11 shows the structure of the bracket 32 in more detail, as well as the elastic projection. It can be seen that the second end portion 36 includes a hook 52 for hanging over the elongated bracket hole 50 on the upright.

[0080] In the example of FIG. 3-11 uses a bracket that extends transversely outward in a fixed direction from the vertical post to which it is connected.

[0081] An alternative design includes a second articulation between the strut assembly and the second end portion 36 of the bracket 32. This second articulation defines a second axis of rotation 111, which in normal use also extends vertically.

[0082] In FIG. 12A shows a first example of the second articulation joint 110.

[0083] The bracket 32 has a vertically extending projection 120 at the second end portion, which is received into a cylindrical elongated mounting bracket hole 122 on the vertical post 19.

[0084] The second articulation 110 allows the bracket 32 to pivot, for example, between an extended position (as shown in the examples above, with the bracket extending laterally outward) and a retracted position. The retracted position is shown in FIG. 12 (but with the bracket disconnected from the mounting bracket). This means that the steam head holder 38 can be rotated under the treatment board 14 when it is in a horizontal orientation.

[0085] Thus, the bracket is parallel to the side of the processing board. This requires a range of movement of the bracket relative to the upright that is only 90°. In particular, it is advisable to only rotate the bracket towards the back of the board for processing, since in this position it will not interfere with the transition of the board from vertical to horizontal orientation and vice versa. For this purpose, a pin and a recess device are used, which function as a limiting mechanism, as shown in FIG. 12A.

[0086] Thus, the steamer head can be moved to different positions for different treatment board configurations. Of course, other restrictive mechanisms may be used.

[0087] In FIG. 12B-12C show a second example (bottom view) of the second hinge joint 120 between the bracket and the post assembly. In FIG. 12B is an exploded view and FIG. 12C shows the view after assembly.

[0088] Compared to the example in FIG. 12A, radial projection 124 in FIG. 12A is replaced by a radial projection 124B located in the peripheral region of the projection 120. It functions as a guide pin. The radial protrusion 124B cooperates with the arcuate recess 126 of the cylindrical elongated hole. The radial protrusion 124B can only be slidably moved in the arcuate recess within a desired angular range.

[0089] In FIG. Figure 13 shows the underside of the docking station with the bracket connected to the upright.

[0090] In FIG. 14 shows a garment steamer with the steamer head holder 38 rotated so that it is located under the treatment board 14 .

[0091] This provides the user with more processing space around the board when using it in a horizontal position. This also means that the steamer head holder is out of the way when the steam function is not in use, for example if the treatment board is being used as an ironing board.

[0092] Rotating the steam head holder to retract the steam head holder is only of interest when operating in a horizontal configuration. When the steamer nozzle is under the treatment board, it may be inconvenient for the user to move the garment steamer to the vertical position.

[0093] As shown in FIG. 15, the garment steamer includes a locking bar 150 that is used to lock the processing board in a vertical position and a horizontal position. In addition, the locking bar 150 may prevent the bracket from rotating when it is not accidentally in a locked position.

[0094] In FIG. 15 also shows a steamer attachment 7 in a steamer attachment holder 38 .

[0095] Variations to the disclosed embodiments can be understood and made by those skilled in the art in practicing the present invention based on examination of the drawings, disclosure, and appended claims. In the claims, the word “comprising” does not exclude other elements or steps, and the singular grammatical indicator does not exclude plurality.

[0096] The mere fact that some dimensions are specified in mutually different dependent clauses does not indicate that a combination of these dimensions cannot be used to obtain an advantage.

[0097] If the term "capable" is used in a claim or description, it should be noted that the term "capable" is intended to be equivalent to the term "capable."

[0098] No reference designation in the claim should be construed as limiting the scope of protection.
