A pressing iron composed of a case provided with an opening and a power cord that extends from the opening, and a cord guide device mounted to the case and disposed in the opening for reinforcing the cord in a region adjacent to the case in order to limit flexural of the cord. The cord guide device includes a body enveloping a portion of the cord and a mobile guide member for permitting the extent of the cord that is reinforced by the cord guide device to be varied. The mobile guide member is supported by the body and is adapted to occupy a folded up position in which the mobile guide member is substantially integrated into the body and a deployed position in which the mobile guide member projects outside of the body.

Pressing iron having an improved cord guide device

The inventive steam iron comprises a water reservoir () provided with a filling orifice () arranged on the rear face of the iron in such a way that the reservoir () is filled when the iron is tilted forward. Said reservoir comprises a ventilation circuit provided with an end penetrating into the rear part of the reservoir () and an end communicating with external air and arranged on the top front part of the iron. The iron is characterised in that said ventilation circuit comprises a pipe () which has a small cross section, is introduced into the rear part of the reservoir () and is extended by a hollow end element () whose cross section is greater and which extends downwards and is provided with an opening in the lower part thereof.
