Household appliance, in contact with an aqueous medium, having a water circuit at least partially traversing a compartment containing a disincrustant agent. The disincrustant agent is obtained by cross-linking or hardening of an organosilicic system having a disincrustant action. The system includes: an ingredient consisting of a polyorganosiloxane composition, hardenable into a siicone elastomer at room temperature or under the effect of a temperature greater than room temperature, at least partially cross-linked or not, permeable to water vapor, and an ingredient, which is hydrophilic and osmotically active, consisting of an active disincrustant material taken alone or in association with a hydrophilic auxiliary agent, dispersed in a homogenous manner within the silicone ingredient, the active disincrustant material being liberated over time, in an aqueous medium, out of the silicone ingredient hardened into elastomer, at a substantially constant rate when the temperature in the compartment is substantially constant.

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.

Steam iron soleplate with separate steaming and drying areas

A method and device for preventing the formation of scale in an electric appliance for producing steam, which appliance includes a reservoir for holding a quantity of water and a steam generation member for effecting a substantially instantaneous generation of steam; and a scale preventing device. Scale formation is prevented by heating water upstream of the reservoir to a temperature and for a time sufficient to precipitate minerals present in the water into a form which allows the precipitated minerals to be expelled from the appliance with steam generated by said steam generation member.

Household steam appliance having a scale-preventing device

A steam iron has a reservoir from which water is supplied to a vaporization chamber. A plurality of cartridges are placed within a housing of the iron and at least one cartridge contains a product other than a demineralizing product for the purpose of treating water or cloth to be ironed. A ramp is provided for bringing the water of the reservoir into contact with the treatment product. A duct beneath the cartridge conveys the water charged with the treatment product to a vaporization chamber. A plurality of steam discharge orifices in communication with the vaporization chamber distributes the treated water on the cloth to be ironed. The plurality of cartridges are arranged such that at least one is arranged in parallel or in series, or a combination of these, along a path in which water flows as it travels from the reservoir to the vaporization chamber.

A steam iron including a vaporization chamber (2) connected by a water/steam supply device (8,11) to a flexible hose (9) extending from an external large-capacity reservoir(13). A device (5) regulates the water discharge that is also connected to the vaporization chamber (2), this discharge regulating device (5) being connected to an internal reservoir (4) incorporated in the iron (1).
