The invention concerns an iron comprising a water reservoir ( ), a textile additive reservoir ( ), and a pump ( ) comprising a mixing chamber ( ) capable of sucking into the mixing chamber a dose of water and a dose of additive via an additive proportioning tap ( ), so as to produce in the mixing chamber a diluted additive solution, and of conveying said solution towards a sprayer ( ). The invention is characterized in that the pump ( ) is of the piston type mobile in a body ( ) and defining the mixing chamber ( ) which emerges into the water reservoir ( ) via a non-return valve, and said pump ( ) also serves as additive proportioning tap ( ).

An appliance includes a housing ( ) containing a motor ( ) whose output shaft ( ) passes through the housing base ( ) and drives in rotation a tool ( ) housed in a bowl ( ) locked on the housing and closed by a lid ( ); and a safety device ( ) having a vertical thruster ( ) mounted sliding in the bowl ( ) peripheral wall ( ) and actuated by a cam ( ) borne by the lid ( ) so as to penetrate in an opening ( ) provided in the base to be urged to actuate a switch controlling the motor. A rigid cover ( ) is mounted on the base movable between an inoperative position wherein it conceals the base opening ( ), when the bowl is not on the base ( ), and an operative position wherein it clears the opening ( ) by the action of an actuating member ( ) borne by the bowl ( ) when the latter is locked on the base ( ).

A pressing iron comprises a housing made of plastic material in the form of a hollow body having a base (3) whose upper portion (H) has an opening (O) closed by a cover (C) and whose outlet (D) is closed by a pressing block comprising an upper portion (4) and a lower portion (5) having at least one pressing sole (6), and surmounted, in the front and rear portions respectively, by two hollow projections (8 and 9) connected at their upper portion by a cross member (10) forming a handle and constituted by a trough (11) closed by a cover (12). The rear projection (9) has a wide opening closed by a cover (14) forming a heel. The hollow body (2) and the cover (14) are formed by a shell (1) molded in one piece and having a transverse cross section of generally inverted V shape. The trough (11) of the handle and the internal surfaces (8' and 9') of the projections (8 and 9) opening inwardly.

A sole for an electric steam iron, which comprises, on its lower surface (9), from the point (3) toward the heel (20), after a first steaming region (14), a first drying region (16), free from steam outlet openings, and extending transversely between the lateral edges (30 and 40) of the sole (1). This first drying region (16) is followed by a second steaming region (17) extending transversely between the lateral edges (30 and 40) of the sole (1) and into which open steam outlet openings (10). The second steaming region (17) is in turn followed by a second drying region (18) free from steam outlet openings, that extends over all the remaining rear surface of the sole.

Pressing iron comprising a casing (1), a pressing sole (2) comprising a heating resistance (3) which is embedded in the sole (2) and whose ends (4, 5) project from the upper surface of the sole (2) in the rear region of the iron. A thermal shield (7) is interposed between the upper surface of the sole and the casing, and is maintained on the sole by fasteners. Securement structure of the thermal shield (7) comprises, in the forward portion of the sole, an anchoring member (9) for the shield (7) to the sole (2) and, in the rear portion of the sole, a hooking device (10) for the shield (7) on the projecting ends (4, 5) of the resistance (3).

A distribution chamber (12) of an electric steam iron comprises two compartments separated in part by a partition (24) whose upper edge (20) is in sealed contact with the cover (13). A first of those compartments (26) is connected to the inlet orifice (14) of the reservoir (15) and through it passes the valve (10) of a first water injection device (11). A second of these compartments (28) communicates with the first compartment (26) through at least one throat (30) and constitutes a water reserve when the iron is used with the sole in a vertical plane. There is immersed, through the cover (13), the opening (27) of a second water injection device (21) for the second compartment (26).

An electric steam iron comprises a casing (1) whose rear provides a heel (2) and a sole (3) heated by an electric resistance (4), and is adapted to occupy two positions, either an ironing position in which it rests on the sole (3), or a rest position in which it rests on the heel (2). The sole (3) has a partition (5) forming with a closure plate (6) a vaporization chamber (7) which is supplied with water from a reservoir (8) and which, on the one hand, communicates with a steam distribution chamber (9) having outwardly opening steam distribution openings (10), and, on the other hand, comprises a so-called de-scaling opening (11) opening into a rear portion of the iron and closed by a removably mounted closure. The closure is a removable receptacle (12) for recovery of calcified deposit communicating by a weir (13) with a vaporization chamber (7), so that the calcified deposit present in the vaporization chamber (7) falls into the receptacle (12) particularly when the iron occupies its rest position.

Control device for at least two luminous condition indicating signals (30, 41) mounted on a domestic electrical appliance provided with a quick opening adjustable thermostat (2) which passes over center. An insulating support (13, 14, 15) receives a thermostat arm (11), a blade (16) forming a fixed contact, a movable blade (7) provided with a flexible tongue (20) on which bears an insulating plug (22) controlled by a rotatable screw (10) permitting obtaining a predetermined temperature, and another movable blade (8) fixed to the movable blade (7) and whose free end bears against the fixed contact as well as an insulating partition (9) fixed to the bimetal (6) and controlling the movable blades (7 and 8). The blade forming a fixed contact (16) and the movable blades (7 and 8) are fixed to the insulating support, connected respectively to electrical terminals by electrical connections (3, 4) and supply the two luminous signals (30, 41). A resilient conductive blade ( 48) having a free end (47) and an end (49) fixed to the insulating support (13, 14, 15), is connected electrically by this end to the terminal (19) and in engagement with the flexible tongue (20) by a bearing member (51). A conductive element (44) is fixed on the insulating partition (9), is connected by an electrical connection to one of the two luminous signals and is adapted to come into contact with the end (47) when the heating temperature is higher than the predetermined temperature.

Electric iron having a cast sole (1A) closed by a cover (2) and in which are provided two chambers (6, 7) separated from each other by a partition (8), namely, a principal vaporization chamber (6) fed with water by an injection device through an opening (9) provided in the cover (2), the water being vaporized by a sheathed resistance (10) embedded in the sole (1A), and a steam distribution chamber (7) communicating on the one hand with the principal vaporization chamber (6) by a passage (11) provided in the partition (8), and on the other hand with the exterior through outlet orifices (12) provided in the sole (1A). The sole (1A) also comprises an intermediate vaporization chamber (15) disposed between the principal vaporization chamber (6) and the distribution chamber (7) and extending adjacent the injection opening (9) of the water. Intermediate vaporization chamber (15) is a closed space delimited by a counter-partition (16) arranged between the injection opening (9) and the partition (8) and extending from the sole (1A) to the cover (2).
