Description

FER A CAVITE ARRIERE OUVERTE OPEN REAR CAVITY IRON
La présente invention concerne les fers à repasser. On distingue de façon schématique et de bas en haut des fers, une semelle plane, un corps enveloppe des parties actives thermiques, électriques, éventuellement hydrauliques, et une poignée de manipulation du fer.The present invention relates to irons. We distinguish schematically and from bottom to top of the irons, a flat sole, a body wrapped with active thermal, electrical, possibly hydraulic parts, and a handle for handling the iron.
La poignée est rendue solidaire du reste de l'appareil par des accrochages à l'avant et/ou à l'arrière du fer. Dans les versions actuelles, des pièces par exemple moulées, comportent des parties du corps enveloppe et de la poignée de sorte qu'il n'existe pas de discontinuité entre ce corps et cette poignée.The handle is made integral with the rest of the device by hooks on the front and / or rear of the iron. In current versions, for example molded parts, include parts of the casing body and of the handle so that there is no discontinuity between this body and this handle.
Les fers les plus légers n'ont qu'une liaison à l'avant ou à l'arrière, et la poignée se trouve en porte à faux comme dans le brevet US D415865, ce qui conduit à renforcer l'unique liaison avec le corps du fer, et ne convient pas pour des fers plus lourds.The lightest irons have only one connection at the front or at the rear, and the handle is cantilevered as in US patent D415865, which leads to strengthening the only connection with the body. iron, and is not suitable for heavier irons.
Les fers les plus volumineux comportent une liaison de la poignée au corps, à l'avant du fer et à l'arrière. Il s'ensuit que le talon du fer prend des proportions importantes inesthétiques et coûteuses en matière. Des tentatives ont été faites pour pallier à cet inconvénient. Le brevet US D428228 montre un fer dont la liaison de la poignée au corps est allégée. La stabilité insuffisante de ce fer posé sur son talon a nécessité l'ajout d'un anneau qui augmente le polygone de stabilité, mais aussi les coûts. Le brevet US D441925 montre un fer dont la liaison arrière de la poignée par le talon est allégée mais la stabilité du fer sur son talon a nécessité de matérialiser un polygone curviligne d'appui au talon qui s'intègre mal au reste du fer. On retrouve un tel polygone d'appui du fer sur son talon dans de nombreuses réalisations comme celle du modèle DM/046388. Mais ces réalisations résolvent d'autant mieux le problème de stabilité du fer sur son talon que le polygone obtenu est grand et elles sont insuffisantes pour alléger le talon du fer tout en ménageant une place importante pour la prise en main. D'autres réalisations montrent des talons de fer présentant une cavité à l'arrière du talon. Ce sont souvent des cavités nécessitées par la connexion du fer sans cordon sur son support. Mais ces cavités n'augmentent pas l'espace de prise en main de la poignée, ni ne diminuent l'aspect massif du talon ni son coût en matière.The largest irons have a connection from the handle to the body, at the front of the iron and at the rear. It follows that the heel of the iron takes on significant proportions that are unsightly and costly in material. Attempts have been made to overcome this drawback. US patent D428228 shows an iron whose bonding of the handle to the body is lightened. The insufficient stability of this iron placed on its heel required the addition of a ring which increases the polygon of stability, but also the costs. US patent D441925 shows an iron whose rear linkage of the handle by the heel is lightened but the stability of the iron on its heel required the material of a curvilinear polygon for supporting the heel which does not integrate well with the rest of the iron. We find such an iron support polygon on its heel in many embodiments such as that of the DM / 046388 model. But these embodiments solve the problem of the stability of the iron on its heel the better the polygon obtained is large and they are insufficient to lighten the heel of the iron while providing an important place for handling. Other embodiments show iron heels having a cavity at the back of the heel. These are often cavities required by the connection of the cordless iron on its support. But these cavities do not increase the grip space of the handle, nor reduce the massive appearance of the heel or its cost in material.
L'objet de l'invention ci-après est un fer à repasser dont la poignée comporte à l'arrière du fer une liaison au reste du corps de l'appareil qui ménage un maximum de place pour la saisie manuelle du fer sur la poignée, tout en préservant une bonne stabilité du fer sur son talon et la solidité de la liaison.The object of the invention below is an iron, the handle of which comprises, at the rear of the iron, a connection to the rest of the body of the device which provides maximum space for manual entry of the iron on the handle. , while preserving good stability of the iron on its heel and the solidity of the connection.
Le but de l'invention est atteint par un fer à repasser comportant de bas en haut une semelle chauffante, un corps limité par une enveloppe, une poignée de manipulation liée par son extrémité arrière au corps du fer remarquable en ce que la liaison arrière est principalement composée d'au moins deux bras s'étendant de façon sensiblement symétrique par rapport au plan médian du fer depuis la poignée en s'écartant jusqu'au corps du fer et ménageant entre eux un espace ouvert. Les bras peuvent être légers, de faible section, et de faible encombrement, laissant ainsi un maximum de place à la prise en main par la poignée. Ils ménagent entre eux un espace ou une cavité ouverte dans le sens longitudinal vers l'arrière d'une part et vers la poignée d'autre part. Vue de l'arrière du fer, la structure obtenue est sensiblement triangulée, ce qui la rend très rigide, et soulage, quand elle existe, la liaison avant de la poignée avec le corps, des couples de torsion induits par la main. Cette structure est particulièrement bien adaptée à transmettre au fer les mouvements latéraux de la main oscillant dans un plan horizontal.The object of the invention is achieved by an iron comprising from the bottom up a heated sole, a body limited by an envelope, a manipulation handle linked by its rear end to the body of the iron remarkable in that the rear connection is mainly composed of at least two arms extending substantially symmetrically with respect to the median plane of the iron from the handle, moving away from the body of the iron and providing an open space between them. The arms can be light, of small section, and of compactness, thus leaving a maximum of space in the grip by the handle. They provide between them a space or a cavity open in the longitudinal direction towards the rear on the one hand and towards the handle on the other hand. Seen from the back of the iron, the structure obtained is substantially triangulated, which makes it very rigid, and relieves, when it exists, the front connection of the handle with the body, torsion torques induced by the hand. This structure is particularly well suited to transmitting to the iron the lateral movements of the hand oscillating in a horizontal plane.
Avantageusement les bras sont disposés de façon à générer avec l'arrière du corps un plan d'appui du fer posé sur son talon.Advantageously, the arms are arranged so as to generate with the rear of the body a support plane for the iron placed on its heel.
Le polygone de sustentation du fer posé sur le talon est matérialisé par les bras et le bas du corps, ce qui donne au fer une assise maximale. Une encoche pratiquée dans la surface d'appui du fer sur son talon permet le passage du cordon lorsque le fer est sur son talon. Dans une version de fer selon l'invention comportant un cordon, la sortie de celui-ci est située dans l'espace ouvert. Dans cette disposition, les bras limitent naturellement le débattement du cordon à sa sortie du corps ce qui évite les torsions trop prononcées.The iron's support polygon placed on the heel is materialized by the arms and lower body, which gives the iron maximum seating. A notch in the bearing surface of the iron on its heel allows the passage of the cord when the iron is on its heel. In an iron version according to the invention comprising a cord, the outlet thereof is located in the open space. In this arrangement, the arms naturally limit the movement of the cord as it leaves the body, which avoids excessively pronounced twists.
Avantageusement, lorsque un fer selon l'invention comporte un cordon, les dimensions de l'espace ouvert permettent que le cordon y soit plié et logé avec sa prise de courant, lors du rangement de l'appareil.Advantageously, when an iron according to the invention comprises a cord, the dimensions of the open space allow the cord to be folded there and housed with its socket, when the device is stored.
La mise en place au rangement est facilitée du fait qu'on enfile le cordon dans la cavité et les bras en évitent le foisonnement.The installation in storage is facilitated by the fact that the cord is threaded into the cavity and the arms avoid its proliferation.
La cavité peut être aménagée à cet effet et comporter des orifices dans lesquels on peut enfoncer les fiches de la prise de courant. Les orifices peuvent être ménagés sur l'un des bras ou sur une proéminence spécialement dessinée pour cet usage.The cavity can be fitted for this purpose and include orifices in which the plugs of the socket can be inserted. The orifices can be formed on one of the arms or on a protrusion specially designed for this use.
Utilement, lorsque le fer est un fer à vapeur fourni avec un gobelet de remplissage en eau, les dimensions de l'espace ouvert permettent de loger le gobelet, éventuellement en même temps que le cordon qu'il contribue à immobiliser.Usefully, when the iron is a steam iron supplied with a cup for filling with water, the dimensions of the open space make it possible to house the cup, possibly at the same time as the cord which it helps to immobilize.
Dans une version selon l'invention d'un fer ne comportant pas de cordon, le fer comporte des contacts de connexion sur la paroi interne de l'espace ouvert.In a version according to the invention of an iron having no cord, the iron comprises connection contacts on the internal wall of the open space.
Utilement, la forme de l'espace ouvert est adaptée à celle d'un support sur lequel il est prévu de placer le fer. Ainsi, le support disposé sur le plan de travail n'est plus en contact avec la semelle chaude. Les matériaux composant le support peuvent être plus économiques.Usefully, the shape of the open space is adapted to that of a support on which it is planned to place the iron. Thus, the support placed on the work surface is no longer in contact with the hot soleplate. The materials composing the support can be more economical.
Selon une autre version, les dimensions de l'espace ouvert lui permettent de recevoir un entonnoir destiné au remplissage d'un réservoir d'eau du fer à repasser.According to another version, the dimensions of the open space allow it to receive a funnel intended for filling a water tank of the iron.
Le réservoir situé dans le corps, s'étend de l'avant vers l'arrière de l'appareil. Le remplissage est rendu plus facile. En effet on dispose alors de suffisamment de place pour loger un entonnoir grand par rapport à ceux qui peuvent être conçus à l'avant de l'appareil. L'entonnoir est de préférence plus haut que le réservoir qui ne peut pas se vider par cet accessoire en position normale.The reservoir located in the body extends from the front to the rear of the device. Filling is made easier. Indeed there is then enough room to accommodate a large funnel compared to those which can be designed at the front of the device. The funnel is preferably higher than the tank which cannot be emptied by this accessory in normal position.
Dans une version, l'entonnoir est muni d'un obturateur.In one version, the funnel is provided with a shutter.
L'obturateur peut être par exemple un bouchon à enlèvement manuel, ou un clapet basculant qui se ferme, au moins quand le fer est disposé sur son talon, de façon à éviter que l'eau du réservoir ne puisse ressortir par l'entonnoir.The shutter may for example be a plug with manual removal, or a tilting valve which closes, at least when the iron is placed on its heel, so as to prevent water from the reservoir from being able to escape through the funnel.
De préférence l'entonnoir est relié au réservoir à l'avant de l'appareil.Preferably the funnel is connected to the reservoir at the front of the device.
La liaison à l'avant évite au réservoir de se vider quand le fer est posé sur son talon. Dans cette position, en effet, l'eau est rassemblée près du talon. La liaison de l'entonnoir au réservoir débouche alors sur un espace d'air et le réservoir ne peut pas se vider par la liaison.The connection at the front prevents the tank from emptying when the iron is placed on its heel. In this position, in fact, the water is collected near the heel. The connection from the funnel to the tank then leads to an air space and the tank cannot be emptied by the connection.
L'invention sera mieux comprise au vu des exemples ci après et des dessins annexés.The invention will be better understood on the basis of the examples below and the attached drawings.

Figure 8 is a schematic longitudinal section of the iron of Figure 6, the filling device being open.
La figure 71 est un détail agrandi de la figure 7.Figure 71 is an enlarged detail of Figure 7.
Dans une réalisation schématisée en figures 1-2 un fer à repasser comporte une semelle chauffante 1 , un corps 2, une poignée 3. La poignée 3 est reliée au corps 2 à l'avant du fer de façon connue par un pied 4 prolongeant une extrémité de la poignée. Avantageusement ce pied 4 est creux pour contenir des organes du fer, et les parois sont de faible épaisseur. La poignée 3 est reliée par l'autre extrémité au corps 2 à l'arrière du fer par deux bras 5 s'étendant en s'écartant depuis la poignée 3 jusqu'au corps du fer de sorte que la structure obtenue est sensiblement triangulée. Le contour de l'extrémité arrière de la poignée 3, des bras 5, et du corps 2, bien visible en figure 2 et repéré 6 sur la figure 5 d'une réalisation industrielle, matérialise un polygone plan à l'arrière du fer, polygone par lequel le fer prend appui sur le plan de travail quand il est posé sur son talon en dehors des séquences de repassage actives. Les bras 5 délimitent entre eux un espace 7 situé entre la poignée 3 et le corps 2, ouvert à l'avant et à l'arrière, où le cordon d'alimentation électrique replié, lorsqu'il existe, peut être rangé.In an embodiment shown diagrammatically in FIGS. 1-2, an iron comprises a heating sole 1, a body 2, a handle 3. The handle 3 is connected to the body 2 at the front of the iron in a known manner by a foot 4 extending one end of the handle. Advantageously, this foot 4 is hollow to contain organs of the iron, and the walls are thin. The handle 3 is connected by the other end to the body 2 at the rear of the iron by two arms 5 extending away from the handle 3 to the body of the iron so that the structure obtained is substantially triangulated. The outline of the rear end of the handle 3, of the arms 5, and of the body 2, clearly visible in FIG. 2 and identified 6 in FIG. 5 of an industrial embodiment, materializes a plane polygon at the rear of the iron, polygon by which the iron rests on the work surface when it is placed on its heel outside of the active ironing sequences. The arms 5 delimit between them a space 7 located between the handle 3 and the body 2, open at the front and at the rear, where the folded electrical supply cord, when it exists, can be stored.
La structure des bras 5 permet d'alléger le pied 4 qui ne reçoit pas d'efforts de torsion. Les bras 5 peuvent être de faible section ce qui dégage l'espace disponible sur la poignée pour la prise en main. En s'écartant vers le corps du fer, les bras agrandissent au maximum le polygone de sustentation du fer posé sur son talon améliorant son équilibre.The structure of the arms 5 makes it possible to lighten the foot 4 which does not receive torsional forces. The arms 5 may be of small section, which frees up the space available on the handle for handling. By moving away from the body of the iron, the arms maximize the support polygon of the iron placed on its heel, improving its balance.
Avantageusement l'espace 7 peut être prolongé vers le bas dans le corps 2 à l'arrière du fer comme le montre la figure 5 d'une réalisation industrielle, ce qui d'une part facilite le rangement du cordon, et d'autre part améliore la stabilité du fer posé sur son talon. En effet un obstacle, par exemple un bourrelet de linge, se trouvant dans le polygone de sustentation, trouve sa place dans la cavité 7 et ne nuit pas à l'équilibre du fer.Advantageously, the space 7 can be extended downward in the body 2 at the rear of the iron as shown in FIG. 5 of an industrial embodiment, which on the one hand facilitates the storage of the cord, and on the other hand improves the stability of the iron placed on its heel. Indeed, an obstacle, for example a bead of linen, being in the support polygon, finds its place in the cavity 7 and does not harm the balance of the iron.
Les fers comportant un cordon peuvent avoir une sortie de cordon 8 implantée classiquement à l'arrière de la poignée 3 comme visible en figure 5. Dans la version des figures 1-2 la sortie de cordon est avantageusement implantée sur le corps 2 dans la cavité 7 pour alimenter directement les organes actifs. Les bras limitent naturellement le débattement du cordon à la sortie 8, ce qui en diminue les contraintes de flexion et augmente la durée de vie. Les bras suppriment tout risque d'accrochage du cordon avec la poignée pendant le repassage. Une encoche 9 est pratiquée à l'arrière du fer pour permettre le passage du cordon du fer posé sur son talon. Dans une version de fer sans cordon non représentée, la cavité 7 est mise à profit pour recevoir des contacts de connexion du fer sur son support. Avantageusement les contacts sont disposés dans la cavité 7 latéralement sur les bras 5 et/ou sur le corps 2 de façon à ne pas engendrer d'effort de refoulement après l'engagement du fer sur le support.Irons comprising a cord may have a cord outlet 8 conventionally located at the rear of the handle 3 as visible in FIG. 5. In the version of FIGS. 1-2, the cord outlet is advantageously implanted on the body 2 in the cavity 7 to directly supply the active organs. The arms naturally limit the movement of the cord at the outlet 8, which reduces the bending stresses and increases the service life. The arms eliminate any risk of the cord catching on the handle during ironing. A notch 9 is made at the back of the iron to allow the passage of the iron cord placed on its heel. In a cordless iron version not shown, the cavity 7 is used to receive iron connection contacts on its support. Advantageously, the contacts are arranged in the cavity 7 laterally on the arms 5 and / or on the body 2 so as not to generate a back-up force after the iron has engaged on the support.
Dans une réalisation visible sur les figures 3-4, le fer à repasser comporte une semelle 1 , un corps 2 contenant un réservoir d'eau 10, une poignée 3 reliée au corps 2 à l'avant du fer par un pied 4 et à l'arrière du fer par deux bras 5 disposés comme dans les versions précédentes en ménageant un espace 7 entre eux. L'espace 7 loge un entonnoir 11 dont la grande ouverture 110 est dirigée vers l'arrière et dont le grand bord affleure ou est en retrait du plan d'appui du fer sur son talon. La petite ouverture 111 de l'entonnoir 11 est dirigée vers l'avant du fer et elle est raccordée à l'avant du réservoir 10 par un tube 12. Le réservoir 10 est par ailleurs muni d'un évent à l'arrière du fer et en haut du réservoir. L'évent est raccordé par un tube d'axe 13 à une ouverture située à l'avant du fer au dessus du réservoir 10. L'entonnoir fixe est logé dans un prolongement du corps 2 dans l'espace 7. Le réservoir 10 est entre autres destiné à contenir l'eau de vaporisation nécessaire au repassage.In an embodiment visible in Figures 3-4, the iron has a sole 1, a body 2 containing a water tank 10, a handle 3 connected to the body 2 at the front of the iron by a foot 4 and at the rear of the iron by two arms 5 arranged as in the previous versions, leaving a space 7 between them. The space 7 houses a funnel 11 whose large opening 110 is directed towards the rear and whose large edge is flush or is set back from the support plane of the iron on its heel. The small opening 111 of the funnel 11 is directed towards the front of the iron and it is connected to the front of the reservoir 10 by a tube 12. The reservoir 10 is moreover provided with a vent at the rear of the iron and at the top of the tank. The vent is connected by an axis tube 13 to an opening located at the front of the iron above the reservoir 10. The fixed funnel is housed in an extension of the body 2 in the space 7. The reservoir 10 is inter alia intended to contain the water of vaporization necessary for ironing.
La ménagère peut remplir facilement le réservoir d'eau 10 en tenant son fer à repasser verticalement, pointe en bas, par l'entonnoir 11 dont la grande section de l'ouverture 110 est permise par cette disposition, à l'arrière du fer entre les bras 5. L'eau s'écoule dans le réservoir 10 par le tube 12 et l'air du réservoir chassé par l'eau de remplissage s'échappe par l'évent et le tube 13. Lorsque la ménagère repose son fer en position normale de repassage, ou le pose sur son talon, la disposition des entrée d'eau et évent interdit à l'eau de s'échapper.The housewife can easily fill the water tank 10 by holding her iron vertically, tip down, through the funnel 11, the large section of the opening 110 is permitted by this arrangement, at the rear of the iron between the arms 5. The water flows into the reservoir 10 through the tube 12 and the air from the reservoir expelled by the filling water escapes through the vent and the tube 13. When the housewife puts her iron down normal ironing position, or placing it on his heel, the arrangement of water inlets and vents prevents water from escaping.
Dans une version voisine non représentée, l'entonnoir 11 peut basculer dans le corps 2 du fer autour d'un axe transversal passant par le raccord du petit orifice 111 au tuyau 12, et donc se rétracter, libérant ainsi la place pour ranger le cordon dans l'espace 7. Dans une version voisine de celle de la figure 5 et représentée par les figures 6 à 8 et 71 , le fer comporte un réservoir d'eau 10 dont le remplissage s'effectue par un orifice débouchant dans l'espace 7, cet orifice étant muni de moyens de réception et de guidage du liquide à travers l'orifice vers le réservoir 10, lesdits moyens traversant l'orifice et étant mobiles en rotation entre une première position ouverte visible en figure 8 où le liquide peut être introduit, et une deuxième position fermée visible en figure 7 où lesdits moyens sont escamotés dans le réservoir 10 et assurent la fermeture de l'orifice.In a neighboring version, not shown, the funnel 11 can tilt in the body 2 of the iron around a transverse axis passing through the connection of the small orifice 111 to the pipe 12, and therefore retract, thus freeing up space for storing the cord. in space 7. In a version close to that of FIG. 5 and represented by FIGS. 6 to 8 and 71, the iron comprises a water tank 10, the filling of which is effected by an orifice opening into space 7, this orifice being provided with means for receiving and guiding the liquid through the orifice towards the reservoir 10, said means passing through the orifice and being movable in rotation between a first open position visible in FIG. 8 where the liquid can be introduced, and a second closed position visible in Figure 7 where said means are retracted into the tank 10 and ensure the closure of the orifice.
Les moyens de réception et de guidage du liquide comprennent un volet rotatif 20 assurant la fermeture et l'étanchéité de l'orifice grâce à un joint 201 mieux visible en figure 71 , et une forme en entonnoir 22 solidaire du volet rotatif. Le volet est muni de tourillons 202 matérialisant un axe de rotation sensiblement parallèle à un bord de l'orifice de remplissage.The means for receiving and guiding the liquid comprise a rotary shutter 20 ensuring the closing and sealing of the orifice by means of a seal 201 better visible in FIG. 71, and a funnel shape 22 integral with the rotary shutter. The flap is provided with pins 202 materializing an axis of rotation substantially parallel to an edge of the filling orifice.
La forme en entonnoir est adaptée à la forme de l'orifice et son axe de rotation choisi pour ménager un passage d'eau maximal et présenter une entrée d'eau dégagée de la poignée. Pour ce faire, l'axe de rotation est prévu horizontal, proche du bord de l'orifice le plus en arrière dans l'espace 7. Par ces moyens l'utilisatrice en ouvrant le volet 20, ce qui fait surgir l'entonnoir 22, peut facilement remplir son réservoir d'eau. Après fermeture du volet, l'entonnoir est escamoté dans le réservoir et n'encombre plus l'espace 7 disponible pour d'autres usages, pour ranger le cordon en fin de repassage par exemple. Comme on a pu le constater à la lecture de ce qui précède, la structure du fer selon l'invention présente de nombreux avantages. The funnel shape is adapted to the shape of the orifice and its axis of rotation chosen to provide maximum water passage and present a water inlet free from the handle. To do this, the axis of rotation is provided horizontal, close to the edge of the rearmost hole in the space 7. By these means the user by opening the flap 20, which causes the funnel 22 to arise , can easily fill its water tank. After closing the shutter, the funnel is retracted into the tank and no longer clutters the space 7 available for other uses, for storing the cord at the end of ironing for example. As can be seen from the above, the structure of the iron according to the invention has many advantages.
