Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electrical household appliance comprising a steam generator.
  • Such devices are used either for cleaning surfaces such as floors, walls, windows, mirrors, fabrics, rugs, carpets or the like, or for ironing.
  • the handpiece held by the operator is provided with a switch allowing to actuate an electro-valve which includes the generator, which makes it possible to cut and restore the flow of steam.
  • the steam flow cannot be adjusted by the operator directly from the handpiece, not to mention the fact that the control of "all-or-nothing" is effected by the current sector which it is not without risk to convey into the handpiece.
  • the object of the present invention is to remedy these drawbacks.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a household appliance with a steam generator.
  • Fig. 2 is a schematic section of a detail of the generator.
  • Fig. 3 is a perspective view, on a larger scale than in FIG. 1, of a detail of the apparatus, and
  • Fig. 4 is a schematic section of this same detail, on an even larger scale.
  • the household appliance shown comprises a steam generator, generally designated by 1, which will not be described here in detail, the constructive features of this generator being foreign to the present invention and these generators being, moreover, known per se.
  • This generator supplies, via a flexible conduit 2, a mouth 3 intended to be moved over the surface to be cleaned.
  • This same generator can also be used for supplying steam to an iron, for example.
  • the generator 1 comprises, located in the vicinity of its steam outlet, a motorized solenoid valve for adjusting the steam flow rate, generally designated by 4 in FIG. 2 where this valve is shown diagrammatically.
  • This valve acts by exerting a pressure on the steam duct of the generator, designated by 5, which is made of an elastically deformable material.
  • the valve includes a lever 6, articulated at 7 on its frame, which has a part 6 a , in the form of a breakdown, applying to the conduit 5.
  • a coil spring 8 acts on the lever 6 to tend to maintain it in the position shown in FIG. 2 corresponding to the closing of valve.
  • the lever 6 has an accessible part 6 b allowing, if desired, in particular for the purpose of presetting the device, to manually release the conduit 5.
  • the lever 6 also has a toothed part 6 c , forming a rake, engaged with a pinion 9 secured to a wheel 10 itself engaged with a pinion 11 driven by an electric motor 12 partially shown in dashed lines in the figure. 2.
  • this motor drives the wheel 10 in the direction of the arrow 13
  • the lever 6 is moved in the direction of the arrow 14, which releases the conduit 5.
  • the movements of the lever 6 will be relatively slow so that the variations of the steam flow is not carried out suddenly and that the adjustment of this flow can be carried out with finesse.
  • the solenoid valve described above is able to be controlled remotely thanks to the fact that the handpiece, generally designated by 15 ( Figures 3 and 4), which the operator holds when the device is used, and which is located at the end of the flexible conduit 2, is provided with a control member constituted by a wheel 16, rotatably mounted on the frame of said handpiece, which drives a potentiometer 17, schematically represented, connected, by a low voltage electric line 18 incorporated into the conduit 2, the electronic circuit of the device, which controls the solenoid valve 4.
  • the front panel or dashboard, designated by 19, of the steam generator 1 has a bench 20 of indicator lights produced by leads, allowing the operator to visualize the intensity of the steam flow. as set by potentiometer 17.
  • a switch 21, mounted in series with the potentiometer 17, makes it possible to cut the low voltage current supplying the latter, the arrangement being such that, when the potentiometer is not supplied, the valve 4 is placed by itself, under the effect of its spring 8, in the closed position, which interrupts the flow of steam.
  • the adjustment of the steam flow rate, or even its interruption can be controlled directly from the handpiece held by the operator and, moreover, without having to bring mains current into said handpiece, but only low voltage current, which is not the source of any danger.
