Sector técnicoTechnical sector
La presente invención se engloba dentro del sector de las tablas de planchar de uso doméstico, y más concretamente en el ámbito de las tablas de planchar de altura regulable, aptas para uso sentado o de pie, y válidas para usuarios diestros o zurdos.The present invention falls within the field of household ironing boards, and more specifically in the field of height-adjustable ironing boards, suitable for sitting or standing use, and valid for right-handed or left-handed users.
Técnica anteriorPrior art
Desde la invención de la plancha de vapor para uso doméstico, allá por los años 20, se han propuesto múltiples evoluciones en el diseño de la tabla de planchar, siendo conocidas una ingente cantidad de patentes y modelos de utilidad al respecto que, sin embargo, no anticipan el conjunto de características que se contemplan en la presente invención.Since the invention of the steam iron for domestic use, back in the 20s, multiple evolutions have been proposed in the design of the ironing board, a huge amount of patents and utility models being known in this regard, however, they do not anticipate the set of features contemplated in the present invention.
El conjunto de planchado objeto de la presente invención permite el uso por usuarios tanto en posición sentada como de pie. Aunque el diseño más tradicional o común de la tabla de planchar incluye el uso de patas articuladas en "tijera", existen múltiples tablas de planchar que no contemplan dicha configuración y permiten al usuario planchar en posición sentada. En este sentido, podemos distinguir por un lado tablas de plancha portátiles aptas para su uso sobre otras superficies, tales como las reivindicadas en los documentos ES1012356U y ES1063139U. Estos documentos proponen tablas de planchar fundamentalmente de sobremesa, aunque obviamente utilizables sobre otras diversas superficies, y en las que el potencial uso en posición sentada viene determinado por la conformación de la superficie sobre la que se apoya la tabla de planchar portátil en cuestión. Por otra parte, existen numerosos diseños que permiten el uso sentado pero en los que la tabla de planchar no se sustenta físicamente de forma autónoma, sino que requiere de su fijación a una superficie, tales como las reivindicadas en los documentos CA2225067 (acoplable a una puerta), WO2005120290 (acoplable a electrodomésticos tales como lavadoras, secadoras o lavavajillas), US7310899 (acoplable a un mueble), US7395620 (acoplable a una puerta). Otro grupo de diseños comprenden un único eje o soporte de apoyo vertical que fija la tabla de planchar en una posición próxima a uno de los extremos de la misma, tales como los reivindicados en los documentos EP 1904678 y EP1910607, siendo dichos diseños estabilizados mediante un soporte horizontal a ras de suelo. Otro grupo de diseños potencialmente utilizables en posición sentada comprende tablas de planchar estructuralmente integradas en dispositivos de almacenamiento, tales como los reivindicados en los documentos CA2599926, US7062871 y WO2007077342. Por último, existen tablas de planchar es las que la configuración de las patas es diferente de la tradicional y potencialmente son aptas para uso sentado, como las reivindicadas en los documentos ES2166497 (las patas se cruzan pero al estar curvadas posibilita sentarse por uno de los flancos) GB2411905 (comprende un asiento estructuralmente unido a la tabla de planchar) ó JP2005329038 (las patas pueden no cruzarse). La presente invención no sólo permite el uso sentado sino que también permite el uso de pie de personas altas y conforme a las recomendaciones que apuntan la necesidad de mantener un pie en alto sobre un reposapiés (alternando ambos pies durante la labor) y que la tabla debe estar a la altura del ombligo o ligeramente por encima de éste. La regulación de la altura es algo atendido en prácticamente todos los diseños de tabla de planchar en los que las patas se articulan en "tijera" (aunque esta característica está normalmente limitada a usuario de estatura media), pero no en la mayoría de los modelos más arriba mencionados como potencialmente aptos para el uso sentado. Por ejemplo, en los modelos de sobremesa y similares (ES1012356U, ES1063139U), es la altura de la superficie sobre la que se apoya la tabla de planchar la que delimita fundamentalmente el rango de alturas de planchado. En aquellos modelos que se anclan o fijan a otras estructuras (CA2225067, WO2005120290, US7310899, US7395620), o que directamente forman parte estructural de dispositivos más complejos (CA2599926, US7062871, WO2007077342), la altura, si es graduable, es modificable en un estrecho rango de valores. Entre los modelos que presentan patas en una configuración diferente a la tradicional, en GB2411905 el asiento no es removible, en JP2005329038 no se contempla la graduación en altura (no tiene relación con el objeto principal de dicha invención), y en ES2166497, aunque se contempla como posible el uso sentado, la configuración de las patas es fundamentalmente en "tijera" y no se incluye ninguna mención respecto a la posibilidad de graduar la altura en rango tan amplio como el requerido para el supuesto que sí satisface la invención objeto de la presente solicitud. La posibilidad de graduar la altura en un amplio rango también es limitada en los modelos reivindicados en los documentos EP 1904678 y EP1910607, lo que de otro modo dificultaría la estabilidad. Por otra parte, y en relación a la recomendación de poder realizar la labor de planchado con un pie en alto, sólo los modelos reivindicados en estos últimos documentos podrían satisfacer en cierta medida este requisito, aunque el travesano o apoyo horizontal no tenga en origen este propósito sino el de estabilizar el conjunto.The ironing assembly object of the present invention allows the use by users in both sitting and standing positions. Although the most traditional or common design of the ironing board includes the use of articulated legs in "scissors", there are multiple ironing boards that do not contemplate such configuration and allow the user to iron in a sitting position. In this sense, we can distinguish on one hand portable iron tables suitable for use on other surfaces, such as those claimed in documents ES1012356U and ES1063139U. These documents propose essentially tabletop ironing boards, although obviously usable on various other surfaces, and in which the potential use in sitting position is determined by the conformation of the surface on which the portable ironing board in question rests. On the other hand, there are numerous designs that allow seated use but in which the ironing board is not physically supported autonomously, but requires its fixation to a surface, such as those claimed in documents CA2225067 (attachable to a door), WO2005120290 (attachable to household appliances such as washing machines, dryers or dishwashers), US7310899 (attachable to a piece of furniture), US7395620 (attachable to a door). Another group of designs comprise a single vertical support axis or support that fixes the ironing board in a position close to one of the ends thereof, such as those claimed in EP 1904678 and EP1910607, said designs being stabilized by a horizontal support at ground level. Another group of potentially usable designs in sitting position comprises ironing boards structurally integrated into storage devices, such as those claimed in documents CA2599926, US7062871 and WO2007077342. Finally, there are ironing boards that are the configuration of the legs is different from the traditional and are potentially suitable for sitting use, as claimed in documents ES2166497 (the legs are crossed but being curved makes it possible to sit by one of the flanks) GB2411905 (comprises a seat structurally attached to the ironing board) or JP2005329038 (the legs may not cross). The present invention not only allows the sitting use but also allows the use of standing of tall people and according to the recommendations that point the need to keep one foot up on a footrest (alternating both feet during the work) and that the table It should be at the level of the navel or slightly above it. The height adjustment is something taken care of in practically all the ironing board designs in which the legs are articulated in "scissors" (although this feature is normally limited to a user of medium height), but not in most models above mentioned as potentially suitable for sitting use. For example, in desktop models and the like (ES1012356U, ES1063139U), it is the height of the surface on which the ironing board rests which essentially defines the range of ironing heights. In those models that are anchored or fixed to other structures (CA2225067, WO2005120290, US7310899, US7395620), or that directly form a structural part of more complex devices (CA2599926, US7062871, WO2007077342), the height, if adjustable, can be modified in a narrow range of values. Among the models that have legs in a different configuration than the traditional one, in GB2411905 the seat is not removable, in JP2005329038 the height graduation is not contemplated (it has no relation to the main object of said invention), and in ES2166497, although It contemplates as possible the seated use, the configuration of the legs is essentially in "scissors" and no mention is included regarding the possibility of graduating the height in such a wide range as that required for the assumption that the invention object of the present request The possibility of graduating the height over a wide range is also limited in the models claimed in EP 1904678 and EP1910607, which would otherwise hinder stability. On the other hand, and in relation to the recommendation to be able to carry out the ironing work with one foot up, only the models claimed in the latter documents they could satisfy this requirement to some extent, even if the crossbar or horizontal support does not have this purpose in origin but to stabilize the whole.
Sin embargo, la presente invención presenta, por sus características técnicas, una funcionalidad adicional: es apta para el uso no sólo sentado sino de usuarios de sillas de rueda. Esta opción no es en ningún caso atendida por los modelos tradicionales con patas en configuración de "tijera". En el caso de las tablas de planchar de sobremesa y similares (ES1012356U, ES1063139U) nuevamente es dependiente de las características de la superficie de soporte. En aquellos modelos que se anclan o fijan a otras estructuras (CA2225067, WO2005120290, US7310899, US7395620), o que directamente forman parte estructural de dispositivos más complejos (CA2599926, US7062871, WO2007077342), tal vez podrían en cierta medida satisfacer este requisito, aunque dependiendo enormemente de la longitud de la tabla y de las estructuras asociadas a las mismas y que las estabilizan. Los modelos reivindicados en los documentos EP 1904678 y EP1910607 dificultan el acceso por la existencia de los travesanos de apoyo y estabilización. Por último, de los modelos en los que la configuración de las patas es diferente a la tradicional, sólo la solución propuesta en el documento JP2005329038 podría ser aceptable. Indicar, aunque se comente en mayor detalle más adelante, que el travesano comprendido en la presente invención es desplazable hacia un flanco y otro de la tabla de planchar, facilitando el acceso de un usuario de silla de ruedas.However, the present invention has, for its technical characteristics, an additional functionality: it is suitable for use not only sitting but wheelchair users. This option is in no case served by traditional models with legs in a "scissor" configuration. In the case of tabletop ironing boards and the like (ES1012356U, ES1063139U) it is again dependent on the characteristics of the support surface. In those models that are anchored or fixed to other structures (CA2225067, WO2005120290, US7310899, US7395620), or that directly form a structural part of more complex devices (CA2599926, US7062871, WO2007077342), they might to some extent satisfy this requirement, although greatly depending on the length of the board and the structures associated with them and stabilize them. The models claimed in EP 1904678 and EP1910607 make access difficult due to the existence of support and stabilization crossings. Finally, of the models in which the configuration of the legs is different from the traditional one, only the solution proposed in JP2005329038 could be acceptable. Indicate, although it is commented in greater detail below, that the crossbar included in the present invention is movable to one side and another of the ironing board, facilitating the access of a wheelchair user.
En consecuencia, ninguna de las mencionadas invenciones cumple todos los requisitos hasta aquí comentados y sí son satisfechos por la presente invención. , Adicionalmente, la presente invención, y en lo que respecta a los soportes para plancha y centro de planchado, es apta para el uso por personas diestras o zurdas, lo que sí es cubierto por muchos modelos de tabla de planchar (aunque no por algunos de los descritos anteriormente), como los descritos en los documentos (US5926984, GB2411905, epl505196. Por último, la presente invención comprende una innovación respecto de la cual el solicitante no conoce referencia alguna en el estado de la técnica: el soporte de la plancha comprende el uso de materiales de muy reducida conductividad térmica y mínima inflamabilidad. Las únicas referencias encontradas al respecto (por ejemplo, WO2008091332) siempre hacen mención de que dichos soportes están fabricados en materiales que "soportan" el calor, pero en ningún caso se hace referencia a aislantes térmicos resistentes a altas temperaturas que minimicen la transmisión de calor por conducción desde la plancha hacia el soporte, con el consiguiente gasto energético adicional. Por tanto, las principales ventajas que aporta la presente invención, y que, a entender del solicitante, no son satisfechas por ninguna de las soluciones contempladas en el estado de la técnica más próximo, son:Consequently, none of the aforementioned inventions meets all the requirements discussed above and are satisfied by the present invention. Additionally, the present invention, and with regard to the supports for ironing and ironing center, is suitable for use by right-handed or left-handed people, which is covered by many ironing board models (although not by some of those described above), such as those described in the documents (US5926984, GB2411905, epl505196) Finally, the present invention comprises an innovation in which the applicant knows no reference in the prior art: the support of the plate It includes the use of materials with very low thermal conductivity and minimal flammability.The only references found in this regard (for example, WO2008091332) always mention that these supports are made of materials that "withstand" heat, but in no case is made reference to high temperature resistant thermal insulators that minimize heat transmission by conduction from the plate to the support, with e l consequent additional energy expenditure. Therefore, the main advantages provided by the present invention, and which, according to the applicant, are not satisfied by any of the solutions contemplated in the closest state of the art, are:
- Uso apto para usuarios sentados, en silla de ruedas, o de pie y estatura divergente de la media.- Use suitable for seated users, in wheelchairs, or standing and divergent height of the average.
- Uso apto para diestros y zurdos .- Use suitable for right and left handed.
Uso eficiente de la energía (ahorro energético al minimizar la transmisión de calor por conducción desde la plancha al soporte).Efficient use of energy (energy saving by minimizing the transmission of heat by conduction from the iron to the support).
