Embodiment Construction

[0019] Only components necessary for understanding the invention are shown. For ease of reading, the same parts in different figures are given the same reference signs. figure 1 and figure 2 Shown is a steam iron comprising a casing 1 equipped with a grip handle 1A placed on a soleplate 2 in thermal conduction with a heating body 3 whose temperature is regulated by a thermostat 4 .

[0020] According to the figures, the housing 1 generally contains a tank 5, not shown in the figures, for supplying the first evaporation chamber 6 via a cock drip, whereby the vapors generated exit through the outlet holes 2A of the bottom plate.

[0021] The tank 5 has a filling opening covered by a cover 7 placed on the front face of the iron to ensure a sealable closure of the filling opening, the cover 7 being flippable about an axis 7A towards an open position, as figure 1 Shown in dotted line to allow filling of storage tank 5.

Abstract

The invention relates to a steam iron that comprises a housing including a tank (5) above a heating body and a safety device that protects the tank (5) against overpressure, the heating body (3) comprising a vaporisation chamber supplied with liquid from the tank (5) by a supply circuit, characterised in that said supply circuit includes a member (93) extending inside the tank (5) and having an opening (12) blocked by a valve (94A), said valve (94A) opening a passage through said opening (12) when the pressure inside the tank (5) reaches a predetermined value.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a steam iron comprising a body with a reservoir on a heating body, and more particularly to an iron comprising a reservoir equipped with an overpressure safety device, when the supply cock of the evaporation chamber and the reservoir When the fill port is closed, this overpressure will be generated by the temperature rise of the tank. Background technique [0002] From GB 597 209 a steam iron is known, comprising a body with a water reservoir on a heating body and a breather to avoid overpressure in the reservoir. In this document, the outlet of the vent is equipped with a deflector that avoids spraying of the steam generated in the tank onto the hand. [0003] However, such a vent hole brings inconvenience that the water in the storage tank overflows therefrom when ironing. Furthermore, in case of temperature rise in the tank, the jet of steam and water from the vent hole is dangerous and difficult to be noticed by t...
