La fig. 1 est une coupe d'un appareil re- pr6sente partiellement pour projeter de la vapeur utilisee pour öter 1e lustre des tissus. fig. 1 is a cross-section of a partially depicted steam jetting device used to remove luster from fabrics.

La fig. 2 est une coupe axiale dun g6ne- rateur de vapeur. fig. 2 is an axial section of a steam generator.

L'appareil represente comprend un Corps tubulaire 1 revetu dune matiere isolante telle que du liege et ä une extremite duquel est montee une grille tubulaire de protection 2. Ce Corps tubulaire est Ferme, ä son extremite opposee ä la grille; par un bouchon 3 en ma- tiere isolante, auquel est fixe, par une em- base 4a, une douille 4 s'etendant ä 1'interieur du Corps 1 et de la grille 2. Cette douille est fermee ä son autre extremite 4b. La Partie de cette douille situee ä 1'interieur de la grille 2 est entouree d'un manchon cylindrique 5 dans lequel penetre la vapeur. Ce manchon cylindrique presente; ä cet effet, une tubu- lure rigide 6 longeant la douille 4 et sur la- quelle est enfile un tuyau souple de caout- ehouc 7 amenant la vapeur. La Partie de la douille 4 entouree par 1e manchon 5 enferme un Corps de chauffe electrique 8 alimente au moyen de conducteurs 9 Passant ä 1'interieur de la douille 4. Le manchon 5 est ferme par un capuchon 5a perce d'un trou Jans lequel est vissee une Buse 10 par laquelle la vapeur sort sous forme de jet. Daus 1'espace annu- laire 11, situe entre la paroi du manchon 5 et la douille 4, sont disposees des chicanes 12 obligeant la vapeur ä parcourir un certain trajet dans 1e manchon 5 et par 1ä ä se re- chauffer au contact de la douille 4. L'appa- reil comprend, en outre, un levier ä main 13 articule en 14 entre deux oreilles 2a que pre- sente la grille 2 et relie par une tringle 15 et un etrier 16 ä deux leviers paralleles 17, si- tuen de pari et d'autre de la douille 4, et articules sur une cheville 18 traversant la douille. A leur extrernite libre, les deux le- viers 17 sont relies par une barrette trans- versale 19; sur Ces leviers prennent appui les deux RTI ID="0001.0270" WI="16" HE="4" LX="1162" LY="1940"> extremites dun ressort-fil. 20 Passant sous la cheville 18 et chevauchant la douille 4. Ce ressort tend ä appliquer la barrette 19 contre la douille 4. Le tuy au souple 7 passe entre la douille et la barrette. Lorsque aucune Pression n'est appliquee sur 1e levier 13, 1e tuyau 7 est pince par la barrette 19 et la va- peur n'est pas admise däns 1e manchon 5. Une Pression plus ou moins forte exercee sur 1e levier 13 relâche plus ou moins le tuyau 7 et permet l'admission de plus ou moins de va peur. The device represented comprises a tubular body 1 coated with an insulating material such as cork and at one end of which is mounted a protective tubular grid 2. This tubular body is closed, at its end opposite the grid; by a plug 3 of insulating material, to which is fixed, by a base 4a, a sleeve 4 extending inside the body 1 and the grid 2. This sleeve is closed at its other end 4b. The part of this socket located inside the grid 2 is surrounded by a cylindrical sleeve 5 into which the steam penetrates. This cylindrical sleeve presents; for this purpose, a rigid tube 6 runs along the sleeve 4 and on which is slipped a flexible rubber tube 7 bringing the steam. The part of the socket 4 surrounded by the first sleeve 5 encloses an electric heating body 8 supplied by means of conductors 9 passing inside the socket 4. The sleeve 5 is closed by a cap 5a pierced with a hole in which is screwed a nozzle 10 through which the steam comes out in the form of a jet. In the annular space 11, located between the wall of the sleeve 5 and the sleeve 4, are arranged baffles 12 obliging the steam to travel a certain path in the sleeve 5 and through it to heat up on contact with the socket 4. The apparatus further comprises a hand lever 13 articulated at 14 between two lugs 2a presented by the grid 2 and connected by a rod 15 and a bracket 16 to two parallel levers 17, bet tuen and other of the sleeve 4, and articulated on a pin 18 passing through the sleeve. At their free end, the two levers 17 are connected by a transverse bar 19; on These levers rest on the two RTI ID="0001.0270" WI="16" HE="4" LX="1162" LY="1940"> ends of a wire spring. 20 Passing under the pin 18 and overlapping the sleeve 4. This spring tends to press the bar 19 against the sleeve 4. The flexible tube 7 passes between the sleeve and the bar. When no pressure is applied to the first lever 13, the pipe 7 is clamped by the bar 19 and the steam is not admitted into the first sleeve 5. A more or less strong pressure exerted on the first lever 13 releases more or less minus the pipe 7 and allows the admission of more or less va scare.

La vapeur est produite par le générateur représenté dans la fig. 2. Ce dernier com prend un récipient 21 dont le couvercle 22 ferme de façon étanche. Ce couvercle porte une soupape de sûreté 23 et une tubulaire 24 munie d'un robinet 25, à laquelle est fixé le tuyau souple 7. Le récipient 21 est monté sur un support cylindrique creux 26 muni de pieds 27. Une tige 28 traverse le couvercle 22, le fond 21a du récipient et le fond 26a du support 26. Cette tige traverse également une plaque de chauffe électrique 29, une plaque de matière isolante 30 et une plaque de sup port 31, disposées toutes trois sous le fond 21a. La tige 28 est vissée en 32 dans le fond 21a, une bride 33 prenant appui sur ce fond, et la plaque 31 serre les plaques 29 et 30 con tre la face inférieure du fond sous l'action d'un écrou 34. Un écrou 35, vissé à l'extré mité inférieure de la tige 28, maintient en semble le récipient 21 et le support 26. Un poulet 36, vissé à l'extrémité supérieure de la tige 28, maintient en place 1e couvercle sur le récipient. Ce dernier porte une poignée 37. La plaque de chauffe 29 est alimentée par des conducteurs 38. Steam is produced by the generator shown in fig. 2. The latter com takes a container 21 whose lid 22 closes in a sealed manner. This cover carries a safety valve 23 and a tube 24 fitted with a valve 25, to which the flexible pipe 7 is fixed. The container 21 is mounted on a hollow cylindrical support 26 fitted with feet 27. A rod 28 crosses the cover 22, the bottom 21a of the container and the bottom 26a of the support 26. This rod also passes through an electric heating plate 29, a plate of insulating material 30 and a support plate 31, all three arranged under the bottom 21a. The rod 28 is screwed at 32 into the bottom 21a, a flange 33 resting on this bottom, and the plate 31 clamps the plates 29 and 30 against the underside of the bottom under the action of a nut 34. A nut 35, screwed to the lower end of the rod 28, holds the container 21 and the support 26 together. A chicken 36, screwed to the upper end of the rod 28, holds the lid in place on the container. The latter carries a handle 37. The heating plate 29 is powered by conductors 38.

L'appareil représenté fonctionne de la fa çon suivante: Le récipient 21 est rempli d'eau, son cou vercle est fermé et les conducteurs 38 sont branchés sur un réseau électrique. Lorsque l'eau bout, le robinet 25 est ouvert et la va peur passe par le tuyau 7 dans le corps tubu laire 1 dont le corps de chauffe 8 a également été mis sous tension. Une pression sur le levier 13 permet le passage de la vapeur qui se réchauffe à l'intérieur du manchon 5 et qui perd toutes les particules d'eau qui au raient pu se former par condensation lors du passage de la vapeur du générateur au corps tubulaire. On dirige le jet de vapeur s'échap pant de la buse 10 sur le tissu dont on désire ôter le lustre. L'appareil qui est portatif, peut aisément être manoeuvré d'une seule main. On pourrait prévoir un jet de buses 10, interchangeables et de différents alésages, ce qui permettrait de modifier le jet de vapeur. The device shown operates as follows: The container 21 is filled with water, its lid is closed and the conductors 38 are connected to an electrical network. When the water boils, the tap 25 is opened and the vapour passes through the pipe 7 into the tubular body 1, the heating body 8 of which has also been energized. Pressing the lever 13 allows the passage of the steam which heats up inside the sleeve 5 and which loses all the water particles which could have formed by condensation during the passage of the steam from the generator to the tubular body. . The jet of steam escaping from the nozzle 10 is directed onto the fabric from which the luster is to be removed. The device, which is portable, can easily be operated with one hand. One could provide a jet of nozzles 10, interchangeable and of different bores, which would make it possible to modify the jet of steam.
