Definitions
- the present invention relates to irons comprising a liquid reservoir.
- the tank is generally a water tank used to contain the water to be vaporized.
- Irons are known which are equipped with a water tank having a large orifice allowing the user to fill it. This orifice is usually placed at the front of the iron so that the liquid does not flow when the iron is placed on its heel.
- the other members such as the sprayer, the drip controls, the over-vapor control and the like have technical or ergonomic positioning constraints which do not leave the possibility of optimizing the dimensions of the filling orifice. Because of this space requirement, in the known configurations, the filling orifice is finally reduced and does not allow the iron to be filled easily and quickly.
- an iron comprising a liquid reservoir having a filling orifice, since this orifice is provided with means for receiving and guiding the liquid through the orifice towards the reservoir, said means passing through the orifice and being movable in translation between a first open position where the liquid can be introduced, and a second closed position where said means are retracted into the iron and ensure the closing of the orifice.
- the means for receiving the liquid being retractable, they can be larger than the orifice which no longer needs to be targeted with precision during filling by the user of the iron.
- the liquid being guided, the orifice may be small and therefore be arranged in the best way to supply the reservoir, without the organs such as the drip controls, pump, over-vapor, etc. are flooded during filling.
- the means for receiving and guiding the liquid comprise an elongated drawer, comprising an opening on a longitudinal face to receive the liquid, and open at its internal end to allow the liquid to flow.
- elongated drawer or chute By elongated drawer or chute is meant a hollow part formed by two longitudinal faces, a bottom adjacent to these two faces, and a solid external end face, the remaining longitudinal face having an opening for receiving the liquid. This opening may constitute all or part of the remaining longitudinal face.
- the water receiving face has a large longitudinal opening, so that the liquid inlet can be of large section, which facilitates filling.
- the realization of these means is as economical as that of a cover for closing the orifice because it does not increase the number of pieces of the iron.
- the drawer may have a flared cross section reminiscent of a funnel.
- the elongate drawer has a cross section corresponding substantially to the filling orifice, and is permanently engaged to slide in said orifice, the internal open end being directed towards the reservoir.
- the elongated drawer remains constantly engaged in the orifice and can slide between the first open position and the second closed position. In the closed position the elongated drawer is therefore retracted inside the tank. Simple constructive provisions, on the one hand prevent the inadvertent extraction of the drawer from the orifice, and on the other hand allow it to be kept in the closed position.
- a seal is usefully used to seal the elongated drawer and the filling opening.
- the drawer is arranged in the iron so that, when the iron is placed on its heel, the opening of the drawer is oriented upwards.
- the iron being on its heel, the elongated drawer being pulled towards the outside of the iron, the iron can be conveniently filled with water poured into the large opening.
- the drawer Preferably in this position, the drawer remains slightly inclined relative to the horizontal, to facilitate a natural flow of water towards the interior of the tank.
- the opening is completely retracted into the tank.
- the opening occupies only part of the corresponding face of the elongated drawer.
- the seal which surrounds the filling orifice rests on solid parts of the elongated drawer and fully seals.
- the external end face, closing the orifice in the second closed position comprises means for operating the elongated drawer.
- Shapes carried by the external end face allow the elongated drawer to be grasped during manual opening and closing.
- the drawer plunges into the water of the tank, and consequently, slows down the movements of the water in the tank, constituting an anti-wave device.
- the means for receiving and guiding the liquid comprise a U-shaped part constituting three lateral faces of an elongated drawer partially at least bottomless, the fourth lateral face being an open internal end in the reservoir.
- the elongated drawer slides on a solid part of the iron which constitutes a fixed bottom for the movable drawer.
- the U-shaped part of the drawer has a lip ensuring a summary seal with the fixed bottom.
- the U-shaped part is made of elastomer and forms a single part with the seals ensuring the seal with the fixed bottom and closing the orifice.
- Figure 1 is a side view of an iron according to a first version of the invention.
- Figure 2 is a front view of the iron of Figure 1, in partial section through a longitudinal plane, the means for receiving and guiding the liquid being in a first open position.
- Figure 3 is a front view of the iron of Figure 1, in partial section through a longitudinal plane, the means for receiving and guiding the liquid being in a second closed position.
- Figure 4 is a partial perspective view of the front of another iron according to the invention, the means for receiving and guiding the liquid being in a second closed position.
- Figure 5 is a partial perspective view of the front of the iron of Figure 4, the means for receiving and guiding the liquid being in a first open position.
- Figure 6 is a partial view in partial section through a longitudinal plane of the iron of Figure 4, the means for receiving and guiding the liquid being in a second closed position.
- Figure 7 is a partial view in partial section through a longitudinal plane of the iron of Figure 4, the means for receiving and guiding the liquid being in a first open position.
- Figure 8 is a partial view in partial section through a longitudinal plane of another iron according to the invention, the means for receiving and guiding the liquid being in a second closed position.
- Figure 9 is a partial view in partial section through a longitudinal plane of the iron of Figure 8, the means for receiving and guiding the liquid being in a first open position.
- a steam iron 1 includes a sprayer 2, a drip control 3, an over-steam and spray control 4, grouped on the body 5 at the front iron 1.
- the iron 1 comprises a water tank 6 visible in FIGS. 2 and 3, the filling orifice 7 of which is located towards the front and at the top of the iron near the members mentioned above.
- the orifice 7 is provided with a seal 8 in which slides an elongated piece in the form of a drawer or trough 9, occupying the entire section of the orifice 7.
- An end face 91 of the drawer 9 is open to inside the tank.
- a longitudinal face 92 of the drawer has an opening 93, larger than the orifice 7, directed towards the front of the iron so that it is oriented upwards when the iron is placed on its heel.
- the drawer 9 is retained in a first open position, represented in FIG. 2, by an elastic lock 94 and shapes 95 preventing its accidental extraction from the iron.
- the opening 93 is accessible from the outside of the iron.
- a passage is provided from the outside of the iron to the reservoir 6 through the opening 93, the drawer 9 and the end face 91.
- the drawer 9 can slide along its longitudinal axis in the orifice 7 between the open position and a second closed position visible in FIG. 3. It is held in this second position by an elastic lock 96.
- the seal 8 bears on a solid part 97 of the wall 92 and ensures complete sealing between the drawer 9 and the reservoir 6.
- the solid end wall 98 of the drawer 9 then ensures the closing of the orifice 7.
- this wall 98 carries shapes 99 visible in FIG. 1 which allow the user to enter the drawer 9, and move it from one position to another.
- the iron 1 is used with the drawer 9 retracted into the tank 6, immobilized by the lock 96 in the position shown in FIGS. 1 and 3.
- the water contained in the tank cannot come out and splash through it. orifice 7 hermetically closed.
- a small vent (not shown) is formed between the tank and the atmosphere to avoid the depression of the tank. This small vent can be a small calibrated hole placed towards the front of the iron on the end wall 98.
- the water flows from the opening 93 along the drawer 9 through the orifice 7 and leaves the drawer through its open internal face 91 from where it fills the tank 6.
- the opening 93 has a section larger than the section of the orifice 7, which facilitates filling and allows, during the construction of the iron, to reduce the space occupied by this orifice. Therefore, the orifice can be arranged towards the top of the iron without interfering with the other controls.
- a steam iron 100 includes a control acting by means of a rod 300 on a drip.
- the iron 100 includes a water tank 6 visible in FIGS. 6 and 7 with a filling orifice 7.
- the orifice 7 is crossed by an elongated U-shaped part constituting three lateral faces of a drawer 9, occupying the entire section of the orifice 7.
- This U-shaped part is preferably made of rigid elastomer.
- the end face 91 of the drawer 9, between the ends of the branches of the U, is open inside the tank 6.
- the drawer 9 can slide along its longitudinal axis in the orifice 7 between a first open position shown in Figures 5 and 7 and a second closed position visible in Figures 4 and 6.
- the U-shaped part remains in contact with an outer wall 101 of the iron 100 by one of its edges 900 forming a sealing lip, the other edge delimiting, with the orifice, a filling opening surface 93, larger than the orifice 7, directed towards the front of the iron and up.
- the drawer is held in the first open position by the gentle friction of the elastomer lip 900 on the wall 101.
- This wall 101 forms the bottom of the drawer 9, the U-shaped part of which forms the lateral faces.
- the opening 93 is then accessible from the outside of the iron.
- a passage is provided from the outside of the iron to the reservoir 6 through the opening 93, the drawer 9 and the end face 91.
- the drawer 9 In the second closed position, the drawer 9 is retracted into the iron.
- the solid end wall 98 of the U-shaped part of the drawer 9 then ensures the closure of the orifice 7.
- the elastomer edges ensure the sealing of the closure. Thanks to the U-shape, the drawer 9 has a small footprint inside the iron.
- Organs such as a control rod 300 can be located between the branches of the U without interfering with the movement of the drawer. Iron construction and ergonomics are improved.
- the wall 98 carries shapes 99 which allow the entry of the U-shaped part of drawer 9 by the user, and its displacement from one position to another.
- the iron 100 is used with the drawer 9 retracted.
- the water contained in the tank cannot come out and splash through the orifice 7 hermetically closed.
- a small vent (not shown) is formed between the tank and the atmosphere to avoid the depression of the tank. This small vent can be a small calibrated hole placed towards the front of the iron on the end wall 98.
- the drawer 9 When the user wants to fill the tank 6, she opens the drawer 9 and tilts the iron, raising the tip, to put it in the filling position, the drawer 9 being inclined towards the tank.
- the drip located at the front of the tank when the iron is flat, can no longer be fed.
- the opening 93 is then accessible from above and can receive the filling water provided for example by a cup or by the water stream from a tap.
- the water flows from the opening 93 along the drawer 9 through the orifice 7 and leaves the drawer through its open internal face 91 from where it fills the tank 6.
- the opening 93 has a larger section than the section of the orifice 7, which facilitates filling.
- the design of a drawer with a bottomless U-shaped piece allows the construction of the iron, to reduce the space occupied by this organ and to arrange the neighboring organs with greater latitude.
- an iron 200 is equipped with water filling means similar to those of the second version. These means also comprise a U-shaped part forming three lateral faces of a drawer 9, but the filling orifice 7 extends along the reference 70 along the sliding and support plane of the drawer 9.
- the end face full 98 of the drawer 9 carries, in addition to the maneuvering means 99, a cover 201 which circulates with the drawer 9.
