  • the inclination of the inclined plane 21 is of the order of 30 ° relative to the horizontal.
  • the base 2 comprises, at the foot of the inclined plane 21, a rising portion forming a stopper 22 on which rests the heel of the iron when the iron is placed on the inclined plane, the stopper 22 advantageously having a rounded shape that fits into the a cavity 11 of the heel of the iron 1 so as to laterally immobilize the latter.
  • the base 2 also comprises, on the back of the stopper 22, a panel 23 for controlling the steam generator and encloses in the space under the inclined plane 21, a removable tank 24, better visible in Figure 2.
  • the tank 24 is intended to supply water to the tank of the generator and is provided with a filling door 24a.
  • the steam generator is electrically powered by means of a power cord coming out of the base at a storage cavity comprising an automatic cord winder.
  • a switch 26 is provided near this cavity for starting or stopping the heating means of the generator tank.
  • the base 2 comprises a protective flap 4 consisting of two elements 41, 42 retractable one on the other, made of transparent plastic material such as plexiglass.
  • Each element 41, 42 of the protective shutter 4 is pivotally mounted on the base by means of a hinge 5 disposed substantially midway between the two longitudinal ends of the base 2 and at mid-height between the lower surface 20 and the inclined plane 21 of the base 2.
  • the elements 41, 42 of the protective flap 4 have a U-shaped cross section and one of the two elements of the flap, called outer flap element 41, has dimensions slightly greater than the other. element, called the inner flap member 42, so that the outer flap member 41 can retract onto the inner flap member 42.
  • the outer flap 41 and inner 42 elements comprise stops that cooperate with each other so that the inner flap member 42 is rotated by the outer flap member 41 with a low overlap between the two flap elements. 41, 42 when the outer flap member 41 is manipulated in the closing direction and with an almost total overlap of the inner flap member 42, when the outer flap member 41 is manipulated in the direction of the opening.
  • the inner flap member 42 also has an edge 43 curved inwardly of the flap which limits the rotational stroke of the inner flap member 42, when the protective flap 4 is open, coming to bear on the periphery inclined plane 21.
  • an automatic locking device is integrated in one of the hinges 5 and ensures the locking of the shutter elements 41, 42 in the closed position, an unlocking button 51 being provided in the center of the hinge 5 to disable the locking device and allow the opening of the flap members 41, 42 by the user.
  • the unlocking button 51 may also be advantageously separated from the hinge 5, so that the clearance necessary for the operation of the unlocking button does not create an additional game at the hinge 5.
  • the protective flap 4 comes, in the open position, to be positioned around the zone of the base 2 integrating the removable reservoir 24, as shown in FIG. 3, so that the removal of the tank 24 or its filling by the hatch 24a is impossible when the protective shutter 4 is open.
  • each flap member 41, 42 angularly covers a sector of the order of 50 ° so that the flap members 41, 42 retract completely on the area of the base 2 incorporating the reservoir 24 when the protective flap 4 is open and cover substantially all of the iron 1 disposed on the location 21 when the protective flap 4 is closed.
  • the protective flap 4 in the closed position covers the iron 1 on its inclined plane 21 and then releases the accessibility to the removable tank 24 so that the user can, if he wishes, open the hatch 24a or extract the reservoir 24 for its filling, as is shown respectively in Figures 4 and 5.
  • Such a feature has the advantage of requiring the user to close the protective flap 4 on the iron to fill the tank 24, which improves safety. Indeed, the risk of burns by contact with the hot iron 1, especially by a child, while the user is busy filling the tank 24 are then eliminated.
  • the protective flap 4 also comprises a handle 6 disposed on the outer face of the shutter element 42 inside a storage cavity 44.
  • the handle 6 is pivotally mounted along a longitudinal axis and can be deployed vertically out of its housing, only when the protective flap 4 is in closed position, the handle 6 then having the advantage of preventing, in this position, the folding of the outer flap element 41 on the inner flap element 42.
  • the flap 4 can be opened by retracting the outer flap element 41 on the inner flap element 42, then the set of two flap elements 41, 42 on the zone of the base 2 incorporating the reservoir 24, as shown in Figure 2. In this position of the flap 4, the handle 6 is covered by the outer flap member 41, which makes it inaccessible to the user, so that the transport of the generator by the handle 6 is impossible when the protective flap 4 is open.
  • Such a feature has the advantage of forcing the user to close the protective flap 4 to be able to use the handle 6 transport, which significantly improves the safety of the user when carrying the generator, the protective shutter 4 preventing the fall of the iron 1 and eliminating the risk of burns by contact with the iron 1 hot.
  • one of the hinges 5 of the protective flap 4 may comprise a hub 52 extending towards the inside of the base and comprising a cam 53 on its periphery coming to actuate a switch 7 when the protective flap 4 is in the closed position.
  • the hinge 5 is rotated by the outer flap member 41 to the rib means 54 inserting into a lumen 41a of the outer flap member 41 so that the hinge 5 is rotated with the hinge 5.
  • outer shutter member 41 only on the end of stroke of the latter, when closing or opening the protective flap 4.
  • the switch 7 is carried by the base 2, not shown in the figure, and is preferably arranged in series on the power supply circuit of the generator so that the entire steam generator is not more electrically powered when the switch 7 is open.
  • the switch 7 may also be arranged only on the supply circuit of the soleplate 10 of the iron so that only the supply of the heating resistance of the soleplate 10 is cut off when the flap protection 4 is closed.
  • Figure 8 shows the position of the hinge 5 when the protective flap 4 is in the open position. In this position, the cam 53 is not in contact with the switch 7 so that the latter remains in the closed state, thus allowing the power supply of the generator.
  • Figure 9 illustrates, in turn, the position of the hinge 5 when the protective flap 4 is in the closed position.
  • the cam 53 is in contact with the switch 7 which causes the opening of the latter and the power supply cutoff of the generator, thus eliminating any risk of excessive heating of the organs confined under the protective flap.
  • FIGS 10 and 11 show an alternative embodiment of the steam generator in which the means used to provide safety against the overheating of the generator are different.
  • the storage cavity of the power supply cord 25 of the generator is disposed in an area of the base 2 which is disengaged from the protective flap 4 when the protective flap 4 is in the open position but is covered by the protective flap 4 when it is in the closed position, as is shown respectively in Figures 10 and 11.
  • the steam generator previously described therefore has the advantage of having a protective flap ensuring, in addition to its protective function of iron, many additional safety functions by not allowing the power supply of the iron, the filling or removal of the tank or the use of the carrying handle that when the flap is in a specific position, open or closed.
