The invention relates to a steam iron with instantaneous vaporization comprising a water container ( ), a steam chamber ( ), an anti-drip device ( ) and a drip device having a rod ( ) which moves axially. According to the invention, the total stroke of the axially-moving rod ( ) comprises a first stroke which provides the flow of water through the opening ( ) of a module ( ) that receives the water from the container ( ) via the anti-drip device ( ) and a second stroke which simultaneously opens a direct passage for the water to flow from the container ( ) to the module ( ) and moves the module ( ) by opening a larger hole for the water to flow from the container to the steam chamber.

Self-cleaning non-drip iron

A steam iron composed of: a metal heating body containing a chamber that has a steam generating zone; a water flow path in communication with the chamber, the water flow path including a compartment containing a quantity of a scale reducing agent that is contacted by water flowing along the path before the water reaches the chamber; and a screen made of a metal different from that of the heating body and disposed in proximity to the steam generating zone at a location to be traversed by steam generated in the steam generating zone.

Physical-chemical scale reducing device with flake disintegrating grid for a pressing iron

A filling orifice structure in a clothes pressing iron having a water reservoir, the structure having: an orifice body providing a filling orifice for filling the reservoir; a closing piece mounted for movement between an open position for opening said filling orifice and a closed position for closing the filling orifice; and at least one sealing joint overmolded onto the orifice body and disposed to provide a fluid seal between the body and the closing piece.
