"Iron with a container for water for steam or spray purposes ".

The invention relates to an iron with a base plate and above a container for water for Steam or spray purposes, which container is provided with a stand glass. From U.S. Patent 2.190.90 ** is an iron known in which the water tank is provided with a stand glass in the form of a window that is attached to the Top is provided under the handle in the container wall. The water level is seen from above in the tank, however poorly visible. For an indication of a minimum level at which the container must be refilled, is in the container a separate float mechanism is provided.

The invention aims to be simple and clear

perceptible display of the water level in the water tank of a To create an iron, characterized in that the stand glass in an upright position with respect to the base plate Side wall of the container is provided. The interface between the water in the container and the steam or gas, which is above the water is now visible directly on the stand glass. Reading the level will not made difficult by a low light intensity in the container or by the presence of the handle of the iron while no separate display mechanism is necessary. The stand glass can also be designed in a simple manner in such a way that the level in the container can be continuously read without the iron is tilted backwards.

A preferred embodiment is characterized by that the stand glass is designed as an opening in the side wall that is closed with a transparent material is. In addition, a maximum and minimum level can be displayed on the tank, between which the water level is maintained must be, a stand glass with an opening can be used, which is in the position of use of the iron extends substantially vertically between the maximum and a minimum water level of the container. The minimum and maximum level can be indicated with a mark on or next to the stand glass.

An embodiment for an iron with a Filling opening for the container on the front of the iron and on the back with support means for

A filling position of the iron tilting backwards, in which position a maximum filling level of the container can be displayed, is characterized in that the stand glass is designed as an opening closed with transparent material, which opening is at the point of the above-mentioned maximum filling level. If the water level reaches the maximum level when the container is refilled, the water level is visible through the stand glass and refilling can be ended in good time. 1st also in i the operating position of the iron, a minimum level displayed, the sight glass can be formed such that the opening is also at the point of minimum level.

The opening, which need only be small, is, for example, near the bottom and front of the container. In the operating position of the iron, through the standing glass, the interface between the water and the steam is in the minimum level position. Water is visible, while in the filling position of the iron the door surface is visible at the maximum level. Using a Standglasps -geringen extent.

An embodiment, which is also preferably to be produced from plastic, is characterized in that The stand glass consists of a transparent tube made of flexible material, which tube bit at the ends connected to the container.

Side wall of a stand glass 5. In some embodiments, the cap wall is also the wall of the water container. If this is not the case, the stand glass is over a transparent part in the cap wall or through an or several openings visible in the cap wall. If necessary, the stand glass can also be placed on the back wall of the iron to be ordered.

In the embodiment of FIG. 1 is on the

Cap wall, a minimum water level 7 and a Höchstwasserpe- g gel 8 specified, and the gauge glass is formed as a window that extends in a vertical direction between and beyond this level. The level of the water in the container, as indicated by 9, is constantly visible here. The container can be refilled via a filling opening 6, whereby the iron can remain in the position of use.

In the embodiment according to FIG. 2, in the position of use it is only visible whether the water level is in the vicinity of the minimum level 10. The back of the iron ™ is designed as a flat surface 11 on which the iron rests in a reclining position. In this filling position, as shown in Fig. 3, the Water container can be filled through the filling opening 6. The maximum level to which the iron can be filled is indicated here on the cap wall with the display 12. By having the stand glass 5 next to this display 12, you can also see through the stand glass when the maximum level has been reached during filling.

The section according to FIG. K shows a stand glass 5,

that consists of a tubular part made of transparent flexible material, for example silicone rubber, which is connected to the water tank at ends 13 and 14 · In the cap wall 2 is the opening 15t whereby the stand glass 5 is visible.

On the wall of the container k behind the steel

Glas 5 can also be painted with a line of paint. Through the The meniscus is the different refraction of light rays through the water and the steam or gas above the water in the stand glass and thus the water level in the container even better by using a contrasting color visible.

As from the detailed section according to FIG. 5

As can be seen, in an embodiment that is easy to assemble, the stand glass 5 is formed by a plug-shaped body which can also be made of plastic, for example silicone rubber, and which is visible through the opening 16 in the cap wall 2? The plug-shaped body has a cylindrical part 17 which is fastened in an opening in the wall of the container k with the aid of a reinforcing ring 18. In the opening 16, a substantially ring-shaped decorative strip 19 can also be attached. The inner wall of the cylindrical part 17 or of the reinforcing ring 18 can have a conspicuous color. The refraction of the light rays by the water makes this color more clearly visible in the stand glass.
