Definitions
- the present invention concerns an iron, of the electric or steam type, used for ironing garments or fabrics in general.
- the iron according to the present invention comprises an ironing plate made of a first material, and having the greater part of its lower surface covered by an ironing element made of a second material, different from the first, in order to render the ironing operations more simple and efficient.
- Irons are known, whether they be of the electric or steam type, used for ironing fabrics and provided with an ironing plate, normally made of a light metal material, such as aluminum or other, heated by means of an electric resistance, and with which the ironing of the creases in the fabric is done.
- One requirement in this field is to provide the final user with an iron that slides on the fabric in an optimum manner, and that also allows to iron, without particular effort and with optimum results, hard and particularly creased fabrics.
- a solution is also known where an auxiliary blade made of carbon is associated with the ironing plate, in relief by some millimeters, and extends substantially over the whole lower surface of the plate.
- One purpose of the present invention is to achieve an iron that slides in optimum manner on the fabric to be ironed and that, at the same time, guarantees an effective and simple ironing also of hard and particularly creased fabrics.
- an iron according to the present invention comprises at least an ironing plate, made of a first heat-conductive material, for example aluminum, heated by heating means and having a lower surface lying on a first plane.
- the greater part of the lower surface of the ironing plate is covered by an ironing element made of a second heat-conductive material, having good sliding characteristics, such as for example stainless steel.
- the ironing element comprises an ironing surface which lies on a second plane, substantially parallel to the first plane and protruding therefrom by a determinate value, so that the ironing plate has a step along the perimeter of the ironing element.
- the step has a distance from the outer edge of the ironing plate that is sufficient to define an annular sector outside the ironing element.
- the annular sector allows to accumulate the possible condensation that forms due to the heating of the ironing plate and the ironing element.
- the ironing surface of the ironing element directly contacts the fabric to be ironed without the risk that a veil of condensation can form between them.
- the iron is able to slide more easily and is easier to handle.
- the step is less than a millimeter high, while the distance thereof from the edge of the ironing plate varies from some millimeters to some tens of millimeters.
- the iron according to the present invention achieves a first ironing of the creases with the segment of the ironing plate corresponding to the annular sector, and then a second, more intense ironing of the same creases, with the ironing element.
- the ironing element is attached to the ironing plate by the interposition of a layer of glue that is resistant to high temperatures, for example silicon based.
- a plurality of seatings are made in which to dispose the glue and a perimeter segment of the ironing element, so as to consolidate even more the coupling of the two plates, limiting to the maximum the risks of any ungluing.
- FIG. 1 is a side view of an iron according to the present invention.
- - fig. 2 is a view from below, partly in section, of the iron in fig. 1;
- - fig. 3 shows a section from III to III of fig. 1;
- - fig. 4 shows a variant of the section in fig. 2.
- an iron 10 according to the present invention for ironing a fabric 28 comprises a main body 11 made of plastic material below which an ironing plate 12 made of aluminum is attached, in a substantially known manner.
- the ironing plate 12 is substantially triangular in shape and is provided with a plane lower surface 15, facing towards the fabric 28 to be ironed and lying on a first plane "Pl".
- the ironing plate 12 also comprises, drowned therein, an electric resistance 14, of a substantially known type, able to heat the lower surface 15 during the ironing steps.
- an ironing element 13 made of stainless steel and having a thickness varying from about 0.4 to about 0.8 millimeters.
- the ironing element 13 is attached to the lower surface 15 in a substantially central zone of the latter, by means of a perimeter segment 25 thereof (fig. 3), in this case bent orthogonal upwards.
- the ironing element 13 (figs. 1, 2 and
- the distance between the step 17 and the outer edge of the ironing plate 12 varies from about 4 to about 15 millimeters, in the front-lateral part, and from about 4 to about 25 millimeters in the rear part.
- annular sector 18 is defined, in which the possible condensation that forms due to the effect of the heating of the ironing plate 12 and the ironing element 13 accumulates.
- This accumulation of the condensation allows the ironing surface 16 to directly contact the fabric 28 to be ironed, without the interposition of any veil of condensation, and hence confers on the iron 10 great sliding ability.
- the latter are subjected to a first preliminary ironing of the creases with the ironing plate 12 in correspondence with the annular sector 18, and a second definitive ironing of the creases with the ironing element 13.
- Both the ironing plate 12 and the ironing element 13 provide a plurality of holes 29, open towards the fabric 28, to allow a selective delivery of steam during the ironing steps.
- the ironing plate 12 and the ironing element 13 are attached to each other by interposing between the two a layer of silicon 19, resistant to high temperatures.
- a first seating 20 is provided in which to dispose the silicon 19, a second seating 21 in which to dispose the perimeter segment 25 of the ironing element 13, and a plurality of outlet pipes 22, in which the excess silicon 19 is deposited.
- the lower surface 15 comprises a supporting seating 26 recessed by some tenths of a millimeter with respect to its segment disposed in correspondence with the annular sector 18.
- the ironing element 13 is disposed in the supporting seating 26, so as to guarantee a correct positioning of said element 13 with respect to the ironing plate 12.
- a wall 23 is provided between the first seating 20 and the second seating 21 , the lower surface 23a of which defines with the ironing element 13 a slit 24, about 0.1-0.2 millimeters high, which allows the excess silicon 19 in the first seating 20 to pass inside the second seating 21. in this way, the contact surface between the ironing element 13 and the silicon 19 is increased, and therefore a greater strength of the attachment of the ironing element 13 to the ironing plate 12 is guaranteed.
- the first seating 20 advantageously has a branch 27 (fig. 2) which extends longitudinally inside the supporting seating 26.
- the branch 27 not only further increases the anchoring surface between the ironing element 13 and the silicon 19, it also limits to a minimum the possible oscillations that can occur between the ironing element 13 and the ironing plate 12. It is clear that modifications and/or additions of parts may be made to the iron 10 as described heretofore, without departing from the field and scope of the present invention.
- the system to attach the ironing element 13 to the ironing plate 12 does not have the perimeter segment 25 bent orthogonal with respect to the ironing surface 16, but that said perimeter segment, in this case indicated by the reference number 125, is substantially parallel and offset upwards with respect to said ironing surface 16. It also comes within the field of the invention to provide that the first seating 20 has more than one branch 27.
