A steam iron soleplate divided into at least one steaming area having a plurality of steam outlets and at least one drying area having one or more grooves but free of steam outlets. The grooves are arranged in a network of furrows defining a pattern of raised lands.

A manually operable grooming device for animal coats, the device including: a main body; a scratching unit carried by the main body and including a support member and a plurality of scratching teeth carried by, and extending from, the support member, the scratching teeth having free ends which define a scratching surface; a removable screen penetrated by at least a portion of the scratching teeth for recovering animal fur from between the scratching teeth; and a suction unit mounted in the main body behind the scratching surface for producing an air flow along a path adjacent the scratching unit and in a direction from the scratching surface toward the support member, wherein the screen extends across a surface which is spaced from the scratching surface and includes an annular portion which surrounds the scratching teeth, is free of teeth, and is in the path of the air flow.

A steam-iron sole-plate comprises a first plate constituting the sole-plate proper and provided with a roll-bonded layer of brazing alloy, a second plate constituting the steam chamber and provided with a roll-bonded layer of brazing alloy and a flat resistance heating element inserted between the two plates and separated from these latter by insulating layers. The two plates are assembled together by means of a fluid-tight peripheral brazed joint and a series of brazed joints at the level of bosses formed on the second plate.

A process for producing a heating plate involves fastening a tubular heating element (1) to a plate (2) made of metal or metal alloy. A plate (2) made of rolled metal or metal alloy is used, and cold-stamped in this plate is a shoulder (3), the contour of which corresponds substantially to the contour of the tubular heating element (1). The tubular heating element (1) is placed against the shoulder (3) and fastened to the plate by soldering. The thickness of the central part of the plate (2) is sufficient to withstand the thermal stresses which it must undergo. The process is especially useful for producing a heating sole of a steam-operated smoothing iron.

Process for producing a heating plate and heating article relating to

The flat electrical resistance heating element is intended principally for a household article having a heating surface. The heating element comprises a heating resistance cut out from a metal sheet (1) which is coated with a substrate (2) of electrically insulating material resistant to the heating temperature and adherent to the metal sheet (1) and to the material of which the support (5) of the heating surface of the article is made. Use principally in base-heated kitchen utensils and irons.

Method of making flat electrical resistance heating element

Steam generated within a vaporization chamber (4) by water droplets (16) as they fall onto a base (1) in which is embedded a heating resistor (17) is directed onto fabrics to be ironed through sole-plate orifices (26). When the base temperature is high, a closure member (32) attached to a bimetallic strip (33) is opened, steam flows through an intercalary space (23) between the base and the sole-plate, then escapes through a peripheral gap (25), thus completing heat transfers from base to sole-plate by convection and conduction. In the case of low temperatures, the closure member is placed in the closed position, air is admitted into the intercalary space (23) and forms a shield between sole-plate and base. The base temperature is than sufficient for generation of steam while the sole-plate is at a relatively low temperature which permits ironing of delicate fabrics.

Steam iron having variable heat conductivity between the heating base

The iron baseplate (1) has an enamel coating (8) on its surface (7) intended to be applied to the articles for ironing. This enamel coating (8) provides inter alia an improved coefficient of friction between the baseplate and the textile articles for ironing. Use inter alia in steam irons.
