Problems solved by technology

[0009] In these known solutions there is also the problem of incomplete evaporation of the water, which creates problems with sealing and low steam delivery pressure
[0010] Some of these known solutions provide an externally located and self-heating pre-vaporization chamber, however, said pre-vaporization chamber does not always guarantee complete vaporization of the water inside the vaporization chamber and in any case increases production costs and energy consumption

Embodiment Construction

[0036] Referring to the accompanying drawings, an ironing appliance 10 according to the invention basically comprises an iron 11 and a container unit or tank 12 for water, which in this particular case is arranged outside the iron 11 .

[0037] In particular, the iron 11 is of the steam type and comprises a central body 13 having in the upper part a grip handle 15 on which is mounted a button 14 for selectively delivering steam superior. The central body 13 is connected in the lower part with an ironing board 16 which is processed into a pointed shape and made of metal material.

[0038] The central body 13 is of essentially conventional type and is connected to the tank 12 by means of a pipe 25 only schematically shown in FIG.

[0039] The central body 13 also includes a valve 18, which is arranged downstream of the inlet area 26 and is mechanically connected to a button 14 which, when suitably actuated, enables the water inside the ironing board 16 to selectively By constr...

Abstract

Ironing apparatus (10) comprising an iron (11) with an ironing plate (16) heated by means of heating members (17) and provided with a steam delivery zone (27), and a container unit (12) which holds a determinate quantity of water and selectively feeds it to the ironing plate (16) through an inlet zone (26). The ironing plate (16) has a shape such as to define an obligatory path (23) that extends between the water inlet zone (26) and the steam delivery zone (27). The obligatory path (23) is configured so as to make the water pass repeatedly in correspondence with and / or in proximity to the heating members (17) as far as the delivery zone (27), in order to cause its progressive and complete evaporation from the inlet zone (26) to the delivery zone (27). The apparatus (10) also comprises a valve (18) disposed in cooperation with the obligatory path (23) downstream of the inlet zone (26), and can be selectively configured between a first closed condition, in which it defines, in correspondence with the heating members (17), a loading chamber (20) in which the water is maintained still in order to reach determinate conditions of temperature and pressure, and a second open condition, inwhich it allows the heated and pressurized water to access the obligatory path (23), so as to undergo a rapid and effective progressive evaporation.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to an ironing appliance for clothes or fabrics, of the type having a steam iron and a water tank for generating steam. In particular, the iron according to the invention comprises an ironing plate heated by one or more electric resistances and shaped inside and / or on its upper surface to define a confining path of progressive vaporization ( obligatory path), water is injected into this constrained path. The apparatus according to the invention further comprises a valve mechanism which allows a quantity of water in the ironing board to be pressurized so that when the valve mechanism is activated, said quantity of water can be easily converted into steam, and Delivered in the form of steam under pressure in an essentially instantaneous manner to the garment to be ironed. Background technique [0002] Apparatus for ironing fabrics are known which comprise a steam iron and a container unit or tank for water which i...
