Definitions

  • the present invention relates to steam irons and in particular to an iron having a steam chamber for excess steam.
  • Conventional steam irons generally include a water tank, a steam chamber heated by heating elements located in the iron soleplate to rapidly evaporate the water which arrives therein in drops from the tank.
  • the heated soleplate comprises the ironing surface having openings, generally on its periphery, through which the steam produced in the steam chamber escapes.
  • the aim of the invention is to provide an iron having a steam chamber for excess steam enabling excess steam to be obtained continuously without the use of a generator.
  • the object of the invention is therefore a steam iron including a soleplate made up of a heating surface, at least one heating element, a main steam chamber into which water is continually introduced from a main water tank so as to provide steam continuously through a first group of openings and an excess steam chamber into which water is injected, the steam generated in the excess steam chamber being provided through a second group of openings.
  • the iron includes a secondary water tank into which water is injected from the main water tank using a control means actuated by the operator and means for generating pressure inside the secondary water tank to send water from the latter into the excess steam chamber, the means for generating pressure being activated upon actuation of the control means by the operator.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic representation of the iron soleplate according to the invention with the two groups of steam exit openings thereof,
  • Figure 2 is a sectional view of the iron according to the invention, showing the mechanism for feeding water to the excess steam chamber,
  • Figure 3 illustrates a second embodiment of the secondary water tank delivering the water into the excess steam chamber
  • Figure 4 illustrates a third embodiment of the secondary water tank delivering the water into the excess steam chamber
  • Figure 5 illustrates a fourth embodiment of the secondary water tank delivering the water into the excess steam chamber.
  • the bottom of soleplate 10 of the iron according to the invention comprises a first group of openings arranged in two lateral rows of openings 12 and 14 through which the steam coming from main steam chamber 16 exits after having circulated according to the arrows illustrated in the figure, enabling complete vaporisation and a sufficient temperature increase using one or more heating elements (not shown).
  • the steam of the main steam chamber results from the vaporisation of the water provided by a main water tank 28 by means of a nozzle 29 as illustrated in Figure 2.
  • a second group of openings arranged at the front of the soleplate enables excess steam to be provided from a steam chamber for excess steam 20.
  • Figure 2 includes a manual water pump 22 actuated by the user by means of a piston 24.
  • piston 24 rises again due to the upward action exerted by a spring 26, the water is sucked from main water tank 28 into pump 22 by means of a conduit, the shape of which enables the pump to function just as effectively when the iron is in the horizontal position as when in the vertical position.
  • a non-return valve 32 prevents the water from going back down into tank 28 when the piston has completed its upward movement.
  • the water sucked by manual pump 22 is then injected, by means of the depression of piston 24, into a secondary water tank 34 via a conduit 36 provided with a non-return valve 38 preventing the water from rising again into the pump when piston 24 rises.
  • secondary water tank 34 is formed by a vessel or rigid cavity and a cover 40 in the form of a flexible membrane pushed naturally to the bottom of the vessel under the action of a spring 42.
  • secondary water tank 34 is equipped with a piston 46 in place of a membrane, whereby the piston is surrounded circumferentially by a seal 48 such that it can be pushed back to the bottom of the rigid vessel by spring 42 without the contained water being able to escape.
  • the water injected by the pump and arriving via conduit 36 lifts piston 46 and compresses the spring such that the water is delivered into the excess steam chamber through nozzle 44 under the pressure exerted by the spring as in the first embodiment.
  • secondary water tank 34 is completely sealed.
  • the water injected by the manual pump and arriving via conduit 36 compresses the air cushion located above the water, enabling the injection of the pressurised water into the excess steam chamber as in the first two embodiments.
  • secondary water tank 34 is sealed and equipped with a vent to the outside as the result of a valve 48 when it is not under pressure.
  • Tank 34 is fed with water by levelling from main water tank 28 through a conduit 50 equipped with a non-return valve 52.
  • the water pump is replaced with a manual air pump actuated by piston 24 which injects air into tank 34 via a conduit such that the tank is pressurised.
  • the pressurised water is injected into the excess steam chamber through nozzle 44.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un fer à repasser comprenant une semelle (10) formée d'une surface chauffante, au moins un élément chauffant, une chambre à vapeur principale (16) dans laquelle est introduite de l'eau de manière continue à partir d'un réservoir d'eau principal (28) de façon à fournir de la vapeur de manière constante à travers un premier ensemble d'ouvertures (12, 14) et une chambre (20) d'excès de vapeur, la vapeur générée dans la chambre d'excès de vapeur étant appliquée à travers un second ensemble d'ouvertures (18). Le fer comprend un réservoir d'eau secondaire (34) dans lequel l'eau est injectée sous pression à partir du réservoir d'eau principal à l'aide d'un moyen (24) de commande actionné par l'utilisateur et d'un moyen de génération de pression (22, 26, 42 ou 54) à l'intérieur du réservoir d'eau secondaire, activés lorsque l'utilisateur actionne le moyen de commande. L'eau contenue dans le réservoir d'eau secondaire passe de manière continue dans la chambre d'excès de vapeur.
