Abstract (en)

The improvements apply in processes for obtaining steam iron soles, the soles being made by fixing two plates (1) and (5) to each other, the first of which is a rolled aluminium part with an enamelled outer surface, and the second a moulded aluminium part, both having holes (2) and (6) facing each other in order for coupling to define steam outlet passages. The improvements lie in that the plates (1) and (5) are independently obtained, the plate (1) being enamelled as appropriate, the enamelling being protected with a sheet of protective paper (4), and wherein the holes (2) of the plate are made by punching, which results in necks (3) that are received in the holes (6) of the plate (5) when they are both coupled to each other, fixing between the two being achieved by flaring (8) such necks (3), the latter acting as rivets. The sole obtained is complemented with a respective lid (9) that closes the iron steam chamber. <IMAGE>
