Definitions
- the present invention relates to steam irons.
- Irons are known which are equipped with a water tank having an 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 large filling orifices are completed with baffles as explained in patent FR2677674, or are closed by a large articulated or sliding movable flap as described in patent DE10015078.
- a filling drawer can serve as a funnel and at the same time ensure the closure.
- the baffles limit the water flow, the movable shutters and the drawers require for their opening a minimum of attention and care due to their fragility, because they must be drawn by hand and occupy a position external to the body of the iron during opening.
- the following invention relates to a steam iron having a water tank, the closing of the filling orifice of said water tank not having the drawbacks mentioned, and being easy and simple to open and close.
- an iron comprising a water tank having a filling orifice, the orifice being provided with a rigid cover comprising a closing face visible in the orifice, because the cover comprises retaining means such that a first thrust substantially perpendicular to the visible face of the cover can open the orifice, said means retaining the cover pressed into the orifice allowing the filling of the reservoir with water, the retaining means being released and the orifice being closed again under the action of a second push on said visible face of the cover.
- the cover is therefore similar to a push button which is pressed to open the orifice and fill the reservoir, and which is released by a new pressure to close the orifice.
- the maneuver is very simple and does not require any particular attention or precaution.
- the cover is retracted into the orifice during filling.
- the orifice being in the open position, a path for the filling water is provided around the cover.
- the cover in the closed position is supported on an internal peripheral face of the orifice, under the action of a spring.
- the cover then acts as a non-return valve thus preventing the water in the tank from coming out towards the outside under the influence of the movements of the iron.
- the cover drives in translation a movable part in rotation provided with teeth intended to come into correspondence with teeth complementary to the body when the orifice is open, the teeth of the movable part sliding on complementary parts of the cover when said cover is pushed.
- the body of the orifice can be an insert on the iron or be integrated into the body of the iron or of the water tank.
- the rotating mobile part With each push on the cover, the rotating mobile part rotates one notch and is positioned to successively occupy a depressed position where it retains the cover, and a relaxed position where the cover closes against the inner edge of the 'orifice.
- Figure 1 is a schematic longitudinal view of an iron having a filling orifice according to the invention.
- Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of a filling orifice according to the invention, the orifice being closed.
- Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view of the filling port of Figure 2, the port being open.
- FIG. 4 is a longitudinal view of the body of the orifice in FIG. 2.
- Figure 5 is a view of the cover closing the orifice of Figure 2.
- Figure 6 is an exploded view showing the movable part in rotation, the spring and a support part of the spring.
- the iron 1 comprises a sole 2 and a casing body 3 in which a water tank 4 is housed.
- the reservoir is capable of being filled with water through an orifice 5.
- the orifice 5 comprises a body 6 in which a passage 61 for the filling water, better visible in FIG. 3, opens towards the outside of the iron 1.
- the orifice body 6 is integrated into the front of the iron and is fixed to the water tank 4 in a leaktight manner using a seal 62 shown in FIG. 2.
- the body 6 visible in section in FIGS. 2 and 3 internally carries a crown of long teeth 64 directed downwards, leaving between them passages 65 with parallel edges.
- the teeth 64 have at their end a shape of a sawtooth notch 641 visible in FIG. 2.
- a cover 7 disposed in the orifice 5 has a face 71 visible and accessible from the outside of the iron through the passage 61.
- the cover is capable of closing the passage 61 as shown in FIG. 2.
- the extension 711 of the face 71 easy to distinguish in FIG. 3, then bears against the internal wall 63 peripheral to the passage 61 of the body 6.
- the cover 7 internally carries a crown of teeth 72 directed downwards in FIGS. 2, 3 and 5. It is immobilized in rotation by lardons 73 guided in translation by the passages 65 located between the teeth 64 of the body 6.
- a part 8, of circular section is capable of rotating around an axis carried by the cover. It is integral with this cover 7 with a play in translation and carries on the periphery a crown of radial teeth 81 whose tip is directed upwards in FIGS. 2, 3 and 6.
- the teeth 81 are long enough to be guided by the passages 65 of the body 6 over the entire length of the teeth 64 of the body 6, and escape this guidance in rotation when the moving part 8 is pushed down at the same time as the cover 7 and they are located beyond the end of the teeth 64.
- the spring 9 lifts the movable part 8, which by its teeth 81 lifts the cover 7 whose wall 711 is in contact with the internal peripheral wall 63 of the body 6 and closes the orifice by obstructing the passage 61.
- the teeth 81 of the movable part 8 are in relation to the teeth 72 of the cover 7.
- the cover 7 and the mobile part 8 are immobilized in rotation by the lardons 73 and the teeth 81 sliding in the passages respectively. 65 of the body 6.
- the teeth 81 and the teeth 72 have an offset so that they bear only on a side inclined in a preferred direction. When the user wants to fill the reservoir 4, she presses on the cover 7.
- the cover sinks into the orifice and the teeth 81 escape the guiding of the passages 65.
- the part 8 pivots about its axis until the teeth 72 and 81 are in perfect correspondence.
- the spring 9 pushes the part 8 back.
- the teeth 81 are then hooked by the teeth 64 of the body 6 and slide on their sides by pivoting the part 8 to position at the bottom of the notches 641.
- the cover 7 is retained in the position of FIG. 3 where the orifice is open.
- the teeth 81 of the part 8 are in contact with a side of the teeth 72 of the cover 7.
- the passage of the filling water takes place along a path represented by the arrow F in FIG. 3, of the passage 61 around from the cover 7 between the teeth 64, through the passages 65, to the reservoir 4.
- the user presses on the cover 7 through the passage 61.
- part 8 compresses the spring 9.
- the cover sinks into the orifice and the teeth 81 escape the notches 641.
- the part 8 pivots about its axis and the teeth 81 are in complete correspondence with the teeth 72 of the cover.
- the user can open or close the filling orifice in a very simple manner by a single gesture which is easy to perform, and the device has a large passage to the filling water of the reservoir.
