Abstract

Pressing iron soleplate comprising, on its internal surface, channels intended for conveying steam, characterized in that the walls and/or the bottom of said channels have protrusions so as to maximize the area of contact between the steam and the walls of the channels.

Description

SEMELLE DE FER A REPASSER  IRON SOLE TO IRON
Domaine de l'invention Field of the invention
L'invention se situe dans le domaine du repassage et plus précisément celui des fers à repasser.  The invention is in the field of ironing and more specifically that of irons.
Etat de la technique State of the art
On connaît des fers à repasser comportant une semelle comprenant des canaux servant à acheminer la vapeur. La partie interne de la semelle est recouverte de matériaux ayant une propriété hydrophile. En effet, cela permet à l'eau en contact (les gouttes résiduelles dans le jet de vapeur) de s'étendre et de disposer d'un maximum de surface sur la semelle chauffée. Le phénomène de caléfaction est ainsi fortement diminué.  There are known irons having a sole comprising channels for conveying steam. The inner part of the sole is covered with materials having a hydrophilic property. Indeed, it allows the water in contact (the residual drops in the jet of steam) to extend and have a maximum of surface on the heated soleplate. The phenomenon of calefaction is thus greatly reduced.
Ces matériaux hydrophiles font partie intégrante des semelles, constituant une part ou l'ensemble de la semelle. Ils peuvent être déposés par spray, par exemple, lors du procédé de fabrication des semelles. Par exemple, de tels revêtements sont décrits dans les brevets US 5,060,406 ou GB 2077624. Cependant la plupart de ces revêtements sont visqueux et difficilement déposables par spray. Cela requiert également la mise en œuvre d'un traitement spécial et de nature chimique sur la semelle.  These hydrophilic materials are an integral part of the soles, constituting part or all of the sole. They may be deposited by spray, for example, during the manufacturing process of the soles. For example, such coatings are described in US Patent 5,060,406 or GB 2077624. However, most of these coatings are viscous and difficult to deposit by spray. This also requires the implementation of a special treatment and chemical nature on the sole.
Exposé général de l'invention General presentation of the invention
La présente invention offre une alternative au traitement chimique de la semelle interne du fer à repasser. Elle consiste à maximiser la surface de contact de l'eau sur la surface de la semelle chauffée et de réduire ainsi le problème de la caléfaction.  The present invention provides an alternative to the chemical treatment of the inner sole of the iron. It consists of maximizing the contact surface of the water on the surface of the heated soleplate and thus reducing the problem of calefaction.
L'objet de l'invention concerne une semelle de fer à repasser comprenant sur sa face interne des canaux destinés à l'acheminement de la vapeur caractérisé en ce que les parois et/ou le fond desdits canaux comportent un relief.  The object of the invention relates to an iron soleplate comprising on its internal face channels for the conveyance of steam characterized in that the walls and / or the bottom of said channels comprise a relief.
Le terme relief désigne tout élément non plat. La forme du relief peut se composer de pics, de vagues, de montagnes, de crêtes, etc. La présence d'un relief sur les parois et/ou le fond des canaux a pour effet d'augmenter la surface de contact entre la vapeur et les parois et/ou le fond des canaux. The term relief designates any non-flat element. The shape of the relief can consist of peaks, waves, mountains, ridges, etc. The presence of a relief on the walls and / or the bottom of the channels has the effect of increasing the contact area between the steam and the walls and / or the bottom of the channels.
La semelle selon l'Invention peut comprendre des canaux de section en forme de triangle, de quadrilatère, de portion de disque ou d'une composition entre une portion de disque et un quadrilatère. The sole according to the invention may comprise triangular, quadrilateral section, disk portion or a composition between a disk portion and a quadrilateral section channels.
La semelle selon l'invention peut être en matériau plastique. The sole according to the invention may be made of plastic material.
La semelle selon l'invention peut comporter une ouverture pour le nettoyage à l'eau ou à un autre produit liquide ou gazeux des parois internes, par exemple pour l'évacuation de sédiments. The soleplate according to the invention may comprise an opening for cleaning with water or other liquid or gaseous product of the internal walls, for example for the evacuation of sediments.
Exposé détaillé de l'invention Detailed exposition of the invention
L'invention est décrite plus en détail ci-après au moyen d'un exemple illustré par la figure 1.  The invention is described in more detail below by means of an example illustrated in FIG.
La figure 1 représente une coupe d'un canal de distribution de la vapeur d'une semelle de fer à repasser selon l'invention.  Figure 1 shows a section of a steam distribution channel of an iron soleplate according to the invention.
Ce canal présente des parois et un fond ayant un relief sous la forme de pics et une section de canal sous la forme d'un quadrilatère. Ce relief peut être obtenu en positionnant à l'intérieur des moules des semelles des éléments micro- structurés sous la forme de pics.  This channel has walls and a bottom having a relief in the form of peaks and a channel section in the form of a quadrilateral. This relief can be obtained by positioning micro-structured elements in the form of peaks inside the molds of the soles.
