The appliance comprises a portable and electrical self-contained assembly comprising a case of plastics material defining a housing in which there are disposed an instant steam generator operating at atmospheric pressure with a porous water storage body and electrical heater resistance elements, and a steam distributor for diffusing steam through a series of front orifices. The case is extended by a squeegee carrier fitted with a squeegee blade projecting from the front of the appliance.

Electrical appliance for steam cleaning smooth surfaces such as windows

The omnidirectional portable appliance for steam cleaning surfaces both hard and flexible, comprises a case provided with a handle, a water feed orifice, an electricity power cord, a cleaning head, a steam generator included in the case and a venturi device [means for selectively] delivering steam to the cleaning head. The instantaneous steam generator having low thermal inertia operates at atmospheric pressure and comprises a capillary body for storing in divided form all of the supply of water to be evaporated, [in divided form] the capillary body being compressed around [the electrical heater means which comprise] a [metal-clad] resistance element and a heater body constituted by a [having a] material that is a good conductor of heat, is overmolded on the resistance element and [thereon to form a heater body which] is associated with at least one heat transmission element connected to [the] a hottest portion of the heater body and provided with a temperature sensor enabling the control of power fed to the [metal-clad] resistance element to be optimized so as to be safe regardless of the orientation in three dimensions of the steam generator.
