Description
La présente invention concerne les fers à repasser comportant un réservoir de liquide.The present invention relates to irons comprising a reservoir of liquid.
Le réservoir est généralement un réservoir d'eau utilisé pour contenir l'eau à vaporiser.The tank is usually a water tank used to hold the water to spray.
On connaít les fers équipés d'un réservoir d'eau ayant un grand orifice permettant à l'utilisatrice de le remplir. Cet orifice est usuellement disposé à l'avant du fer de sorte que le liquide ne s'écoule pas quand le fer est posé sur son talon.We know the irons equipped with a water tank having a large orifice allowing the user to fill it. This orifice is usually disposed to the front of the iron so that the liquid does not flow when the iron is placed on his heel.
Mais lors des mouvements de repassage l'eau du réservoir est agitée et pourrait ressortir par l'orifice de remplissage si des dispositions n'étaient pas prises pour éviter ou limiter cet inconvénient.But during ironing, the water in the tank is agitated and could come out through the filler opening if provisions were not taken to avoid or limit this disadvantage.
Pour cette raison, les orifices de remplissage de grandes dimensions sont complétés de chicanes comme expliqué dans le brevet FR2677674, ou sont fermés par un grand volet mobile articulé ou coulissant tel que décrit dans le brevet DE10015078. Cependant les chicanes limitent le débit d'eau, les volets mobiles occupent une place importante sur le fer dans le prolongement de la poignée. Dans bien des cas, la position oblique de l'orifice ne permet pas de remplir le fer en position verticale et nécessite de commander l'arrêt de la vaporisation. De plus les autres organes tels que le pulvérisateur, les commandes de goutte à goutte, de sur-vapeur et autres présentent des contraintes techniques ou ergonomiques de positionnement qui ne laissent pas la possibilité d'optimiser les dimensions de l'orifice de remplissage. A cause de cet encombrement, dans les configurations connues, l'orifice de remplissage est finalement réduit et ne permet pas un remplissage du fer facile et rapide.For this reason, the large filling holes are complemented with baffles as explained in patent FR2677674, where closed by a large movable flap hinged or sliding as described in the DE10015078 patent. However baffles limit the flow of water, the shutters movers occupy an important place on the iron in the prolongation of the handle. In many cases, the oblique position of the orifice does not allow fill the iron in an upright position and requires to command the stop of the vaporization. In addition, other organs such as the sprayer, drip, steam and other controls present technical or ergonomic positioning constraints that do not leave the possibility of optimizing the dimensions of the filling orifice. Because of this size, in the known configurations, the filling orifice is finally reduced and does not allow an easy and fast iron filling.
Le brevet US 4233763 décrit un fer à repasser selon le préambule de la revendication 1.US Pat. No. 4,233,763 describes an iron according to the preamble of
L'invention qui suit pallie à ces inconvénients.The following invention overcomes these disadvantages.
Le but de l'invention est atteint par un fer à repasser, comportant un réservoir de liquide ayant un orifice de remplissage, du fait que cet orifice est muni de moyens de réception et de guidage du liquide à travers l'orifice vers le réservoir, lesdits moyens traversant l'orifice et étant mobiles en translation entre une première position ouverte où le liquide peut être introduit, et une deuxième position fermée où lesdits moyens sont escamotés dans le fer et assurent la fermeture de l'orifice.The object of the invention is achieved by an iron, comprising a reservoir of liquid having a filling orifice, because 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 closure of the orifice.
Les moyens de réception du liquide étant escamotables, ils peuvent être plus grands que l'orifice qui n'a plus besoin d'être visé avec précision lors du remplissage par l'utilisatrice du fer.The liquid receiving means being retractable, they can be more larger than the orifice which no longer needs to be precisely targeted during the filling by the user of the iron.
Le liquide étant guidé, l'orifice peut être petit et par conséquent être disposé de la meilleure façon pour alimenter le réservoir, sans que les organes tels que les commandes de goutte à goutte, de pompe, de sur-vapeur, etc... ne soient inondés pendant le remplissage.The liquid being guided, the orifice can be small and therefore be disposed of the best way to feed the tank, without organs such as drip, pump, steam, etc ... are not flooded during filling.
De préférence, les moyens de réception et de guidage du liquide comprennent un tiroir longiligne, comportant une ouverture sur une face longitudinale pour recevoir le liquide, et ouvert en son extrémité interne pour permettre l'écoulement du liquide.Preferably, the means for receiving and guiding the liquid comprise an elongated drawer, having an opening on a longitudinal face for receive the liquid, and open at its inner end to allow the flow of the liquid.
Par tiroir ou goulotte longiligne on entend une pièce creuse formée de deux faces longitudinales, un fond adjacent à ces deux faces, et une face d'extrémité externe pleins, la face longitudinale restante comportant une ouverture pour recevoir le liquide. Cette ouverture peut constituer tout ou partie de la face longitudinale restante.By drawer or elongated chute is meant a hollow part formed of two longitudinal faces, a bottom adjacent these two faces, and an end face the remaining longitudinal face having an opening for receive the liquid. This opening may constitute all or part of the face longitudinal remaining.
Alors, la face de réception de l'eau comprend une grande ouverture longitudinale, faisant que l'entrée du liquide peut être de grande section, ce qui facilite le remplissage. La réalisation de ces moyens est aussi économique que celle d'un couvercle de fermeture de l'orifice car elle n'augmente pas le nombre de pièces du fer.So, the receiving face of the water includes a large opening longitudinally, making the entry of the liquid may be of large section, which facilitates filling. Achieving these means is as economical as that of a closing lid of the orifice because it does not increase the number of iron parts.
Par ailleurs, le tiroir peut avoir une section transversale évasée rappelant un entonnoir.In addition, the drawer may have a flared cross section reminiscent of a funnel.
De préférence le tiroir longiligne a une section transversale correspondant sensiblement à l'orifice de remplissage, et est en permanence engagé pour coulisser dans ledit orifice, l'extrémité ouverte interne étant dirigée vers le réservoir. Preferably the elongate drawer has a corresponding cross-section substantially to the filling port, and is permanently engaged for slide in said orifice, the inner open end being directed towards the tank.
Le tiroir longiligne reste constamment engagé dans l'orifice et peut coulisser entre la première position ouverte et la deuxième position fermée. Dans la position fermée le tiroir longiligne est donc escamoté à l'intérieur du réservoir. Des dispositions constructives simples, d'une part évitent l'extraction intempestive du tiroir hors de l'orifice, et d'autre part permettent son maintien en position fermée.The elongated drawer is constantly engaged in the hole and can slide between the first open position and the second closed position. In the closed position the elongated drawer is retracted inside the tank. Simple construction arrangements, on the one hand, avoid extraction accidentally the drawer out of the hole, and on the other hand allow its maintenance in closed position.
Utilement, un joint assure l'étanchéité entre le tiroir longiligne et l'orifice de remplissage.Usefully, a seal ensures the seal between the elongated drawer and the orifice of filling.
Selon un premier mode de réalisation, le tiroir est agencé dans le fer de telle sorte que, lorsque le fer est posé sur son talon, l'ouverture du tiroir est orientée vers le haut.According to a first embodiment, the drawer is arranged in the iron of such so that when the iron is placed on its heel, the opening of the drawer is oriented to the top.
Le fer étant sur son talon, le tiroir longiligne étant tiré vers l'extérieur du fer, le fer peut être rempli commodément par de l'eau versée dans la grande ouverture.The iron being on its heel, the elongated drawer being drawn towards the outside of the iron, the iron can be conveniently filled with water poured into the large opening.
De préférence dans cette position, le tiroir reste légèrement incliné par rapport à l'horizontale, pour faciliter un écoulement naturel de l'eau vers l'intérieur du réservoir.Preferably in this position, the drawer remains slightly inclined relative horizontally, to facilitate a natural flow of water into the interior of the tank.
De préférence, dans la deuxième position fermée, l'ouverture est complètement escamotée dans le réservoir.Preferably, in the second closed position, the opening is completely retracted into the tank.
L'ouverture n'occupe qu'une partie de la face correspondante du tiroir longiligne. De la sorte, dans la deuxième position fermée, le joint qui entoure l'orifice de remplissage s'appuie sur des parties pleines du tiroir longiligne et assure pleinement l'étanchéité.The opening occupies only part of the corresponding side of the drawer rangy. In this way, in the second closed position, the seal that surrounds the filling orifice rests on solid parts of the elongated drawer and fully waterproof.
De préférence, la face d'extrémité externe, fermant l'orifice dans la deuxième position fermée, comporte des moyens de manoeuvre du tiroir longiligne.Preferably, the outer end face, closing the orifice in the second closed position, comprises means for operating the elongated drawer.
Des formes portées par la face d'extrémité externe permettent de saisir le tiroir longiligne lors de l'ouverture et de la fermeture manuelles.Shapes carried by the outer end face allow to enter the drawer slender when opening and closing manually.
De préférence, dans ladite deuxième position fermée, utilisée pendant le repassage, le fer étant sur son plan de travail, le tiroir plonge dans l'eau du réservoir, et par suite, freine les mouvements de l'eau du réservoir, constituant un dispositif anti-vague.Preferably, in said second closed position, used during the the iron is on the worktop, the drawer is immersed in the water of the reservoir, and consequently, slows the movements of the water of the reservoir, constituting an anti-wave device.
Dans un autre mode de réalisation, les moyens de réception et de guidage du liquide comprennent une pièce en U constituant trois faces latérales d'un tiroir longiligne partiellement au moins sans fond, la quatrième face latérale étant une extrémité interne ouverte dans le réservoir.In another embodiment, the means for receiving and guiding the liquid comprise a U-shaped part constituting three lateral faces of a drawer partially slender at least without bottom, the fourth side face being an inner end open in the tank.
Lorsque le tiroir est dans la deuxième position fermée, escamoté dans le fer il encombre moins l'intérieur et laisse le passage entre les branches du U à des organes du fer, par exemple des tiges de commande.When the drawer is in the second closed position, retracted into the iron it less clutter the interior and leaves the passage between the branches of the U to iron members, for example control rods.
Avantageusement le tiroir longiligne coulisse sur une partie pleine du fer qui constitue un fond fixe pour le tiroir mobile.Advantageously the slender drawer slides on a solid part of the iron which constitutes a fixed base for the mobile drawer.
On retrouve ainsi des avantages semblables à ceux de la précédente version.We thus find benefits similar to those of the previous version.
Utilement la pièce en U du tiroir comporte une lèvre assurant une étanchéité sommaire avec le fond fixe.Usefully the U-shaped part of the drawer has a sealing lip summary with fixed background.
De préférence la pièce en U est en élastomère et forme une seule pièce avec les joints assurant l'étanchéité avec le fond fixe et fermant l'orifice.Preferably the U-shaped piece is made of elastomer and forms a single piece with the seals sealing with the fixed bottom and closing the orifice.
L'invention sera mieux comprise au vu des exemples ci-après et des dessins
associés.
Dans une version préférentielle visible sur les figures 1 à 3, un fer à vapeur 1
comporte un pulvérisateur 2, une commande de goutte à goutte 3, une
commande de sur-vapeur et de pulvérisation 4, regroupés sur le corps 5 à
l'avant du fer 1.In a preferred version visible in FIGS. 1 to 3, a
Le fer 1 comporte un réservoir d'eau 6 visible sur les figures 2 et 3 dont l'orifice
de remplissage 7 est situé vers l'avant et en haut du fer à proximité des
organes précédemment cités.The
L'orifice 7 est muni d'un joint d'étanchéité 8 dans lequel coulisse une pièce
allongée en forme de tiroir ou goulotte 9, occupant toute la section de l'orifice 7.
Une face d'extrémité 91 du tiroir 9 est ouverte à l'intérieur du réservoir. Une
face longitudinale 92 du tiroir comporte une ouverture 93, plus grande que
l'orifice 7, dirigée vers l'avant du fer de sorte qu'elle se trouve orientée vers le
haut quand le fer est posé sur son talon.The
Le tiroir 9 est retenu dans une première position ouverte, représentée en figure
2, par un verrou élastique 94 et des formes 95 empêchant son extraction
accidentelle du fer. Dans cette position, l'ouverture 93 est accessible de
l'extérieur du fer. Un passage est ménagé depuis l'extérieur du fer vers le
réservoir 6 par l'ouverture 93, le tiroir 9 et la face d'extrémité 91. The
Le tiroir 9 peut coulisser selon son axe longitudinal dans l'orifice 7 entre la
position ouverte et une deuxième position fermée visible en figure 3. Il est
maintenu dans cette deuxième position par un verrou élastique 96. Dans cette
position le joint 8 porte sur une partie pleine 97 de la paroi 92 et assure
l'étanchéité complète entre le tiroir 9 et le réservoir 6. La paroi pleine
d'extrémité 98 du tiroir 9 assure alors la fermeture de l'orifice 7.The
Dans cette position fermée le tiroir 9 plonge dans le réservoir, dans l'eau qu'il
peut contenir. Une forme 61, du fond du réservoir 6, proche de l'extrémité
interne 91 empêche l'eau agitée de s'engouffrer dans le tiroir pendant le
repassage.In this closed position the
Avantageusement cette paroi 98 porte des formes 99 visibles en figure 1 qui
permettent la saisie du tiroir 9 par l'utilisatrice, et son déplacement d'une
position à l'autre.Advantageously, this
Pendant le repassage, le fer 1 est utilisé avec le tiroir 9 escamoté dans le
réservoir 6, immobilisé par le verrou 96 dans la position représentée en figures
1 et 3. L'eau contenue dans le réservoir ne peut pas ressortir et éclabousser
par l'orifice 7 hermétiquement fermé. Un petit évent non représenté est ménagé
entre le réservoir et l'atmosphère pour éviter la mise en dépression du
réservoir. Ce petit évent peut être un petit trou calibré disposé vers l'avant du
fer sur la paroi d'extrémité 98.During ironing, the
Lorsque l'utilisatrice veut remplir le réservoir 6 elle pose le fer sur son talon et
tire le tiroir 9 pour le mettre en position de remplissage. Le goutte à goutte,
situé à l'avant du réservoir quand le fer est à plat, ne peut plus être alimenté.
Le tiroir est retenu par les formes 95. Ceci facilite l'usage du tiroir, l'utilisatrice
ne faisant que tirer le tiroir jusqu'à ce qu'il arrive en butée et soit immobilisé par
le verrou 94. L'ouverture 93 est alors accessible de dessus et peut recevoir
l'eau de remplissage apportée par exemple par un gobelet ou par le filet d'eau
d'un robinet.When the user wants to fill the
L'eau s'écoule de l'ouverture 93 le long du tiroir 9 à travers l'orifice 7 et ressort
du tiroir par sa face interne ouverte 91 d'où elle remplit le réservoir 6.
L'ouverture 93 à une section plus grande que la section de l'orifice 7, ce qui
facilite le remplissage et permet, à la construction du fer, de réduire la place
occupée par cet orifice. De ce fait, l'orifice peut être disposé vers le haut du fer
sans gêner les autres commandes.The water flows from the
Dans une deuxième version visible sur les figures 4 à 7 un fer à vapeur 100
comporte une commande agissant par l'intermédiaire d'une tige 300 sur un
goutte à goutte.In a second version visible in FIGS. 4 to 7, a
Le fer 100 comporte un réservoir d'eau 6 visible sur les figures 6 et 7 avec un
orifice de remplissage 7.The
L'orifice 7 est traversé par une pièce allongée en forme de U constituant trois
faces latérales d'un tiroir 9, occupant toute la section de l'orifice 7. Cette pièce
en U est de préférence en élastomère rigide. La face d'extrémité 91 du tiroir 9,
entre les extrémités des branches du U, est ouverte à l'intérieur du réservoir 6.The
Le tiroir 9 peut coulisser selon son axe longitudinal dans l'orifice 7 entre une
première position ouverte représentée sur les figures 5 et 7 et une deuxième
position fermée visible sur les figures 4 et 6. Dans ce mouvement, la pièce en
U reste en contact avec une paroi extérieure 101 du fer 100 par un de ses
bords 900 formant lèvre d'étanchéité, l'autre bord délimitant, avec l'orifice, une
surface d'ouverture de remplissage 93, plus grande que l'orifice 7, dirigée vers
l'avant du fer et vers le haut.The
Le tiroir est maintenu dans la première position ouverte par le frottement doux
de la lèvre 900 en élastomère sur la paroi 101. Cette paroi 101 forme le fond du
tiroir 9 dont la pièce en U forme les faces latérales. L'ouverture 93 est alors
accessible de l'extérieur du fer. Un passage est ménagé depuis l'extérieur du
fer vers le réservoir 6 par l'ouverture 93, le tiroir 9 et la face d'extrémité 91.The drawer is held in the first position opened by soft friction
of the
Dans la deuxième position fermée, le tiroir 9 est escamoté dans le fer. La paroi
pleine d'extrémité 98 de la pièce en U du tiroir 9 assure alors la fermeture de
l'orifice 7. Les bords en élastomère assurent l'étanchéité de la fermeture. Grâce
à la forme en U, le tiroir 9 a un faible encombrement à l'intérieur du fer. Des
organes tels qu'une tige de commande 300 peuvent se trouver entre les
branches du U sans gêner le mouvement du tiroir. La construction et
l'ergonomie du fer en sont améliorées.In the second closed position, the
Avantageusement la paroi 98 porte des formes 99 qui permettent la saisie de la
pièce en U du tiroir 9 par l'utilisatrice, et son déplacement d'une position à
l'autre.Advantageously, the
Pendant le repassage, le fer 100 est utilisé avec le tiroir 9 escamoté. L'eau
contenue dans le réservoir ne peut pas ressortir et éclabousser par l'orifice 7
hermétiquement fermé. Un petit évent non représenté est ménagé entre le
réservoir et l'atmosphère pour éviter la mise en dépression du réservoir. Ce
petit évent peut être un petit trou calibré disposé vers l'avant du fer sur la paroi
d'extrémité 98.During ironing, the
Lorsque l'utilisatrice veut remplir le réservoir 6 elle ouvre le tiroir 9 et incline le
fer, en relevant la pointe, pour le mettre en position de remplissage, le tiroir 9
étant incliné vers le réservoir. Le goutte à goutte, situé à l'avant du réservoir
quand le fer est à plat, ne peut plus être alimenté. L'ouverture 93 est alors
accessible de dessus et peut recevoir l'eau de remplissage apportée par
exemple par un gobelet ou par le filet d'eau d'un robinet.When the user wants to fill the
L'eau s'écoule de l'ouverture 93 le long du tiroir 9 à travers l'orifice 7 et ressort
du tiroir par sa face interne ouverte 91 d'où elle remplit le réservoir 6.The water flows from the
L'ouverture 93 à une section plus grande que la section de l'orifice 7, ce qui
facilite le remplissage. La conception d'un tiroir avec une pièce sans fond en U
permet, à la construction du fer, de réduire la place occupée par cet organe et
de disposer les organes voisins avec une plus grande latitude.The
Dans une troisième version de l'invention visible sur les figures 8 et 9, un fer
200 est équipé de moyens de remplissage en eau semblables à ceux de la
deuxième version. Ces moyens comportent aussi une pièce en U formant trois
faces latérales d'un tiroir 9, mais l'orifice de remplissage 7 se prolonge suivant
le repère 70 le long du plan de coulissement et d'appui du tiroir 9. La face
d'extrémité pleine 98 du tiroir 9 porte, outre des moyens de manoeuvre 99, un
opercule 201 qui circule avec le tiroir 9.In a third version of the invention shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, an
Dans une première position ouverte représentée en figure 9, le tiroir 9 laisse un
passage direct et maximal de l'eau vers le réservoir 6 entre les branches de la
pièce en U. Utilement, la pièce en U porte une jupe 202 qui guide l'eau dans la
partie 70 de l'orifice 7. In a first open position shown in FIG. 9, the
Dans une deuxième position fermée, représentée en figure 8, la face 98 de la
pièce en U ferme une partie de l'orifice 7, tandis que l'opercule 201 ferme la
partie 70 de l'orifice qui se trouve dans la surface de coulissement du tiroir 9.In a second closed position, represented in FIG. 8, the
L'utilisation de cette version est identique à celle de la deuxième. Elle est préférable quand la place disponible permet de loger un opercule.The use of this version is identical to that of the second one. She is preferable when the available space allows to house a lid.
Comme on peut le voir, ces moyens permettent d'optimiser la construction du fer et facilitent le remplissage en toute sécurité.As can be seen, these means make it possible to optimize the construction of the iron and facilitate filling safely.
