Abstract
A steam-smoothing apparatus includes a base intended for producing a steam flow and connected to a smoothing head via a flexible pipe in which the steam produced by the base freely escapes to the smoothing head. The smoothing head includes a rear portion, forming a grasping handle, and a widened front portion including a surface provided with a plurality of steam outlet holes through which the flow of steam from the base is distributed. The widened front portion contains a first steam-dispensing chamber, which supplies steam to a first group of steam outlet holes, and a second steam-dispensing chamber which supplies steam to a second group of steam outlet holes. The smoothing head includes a system for blocking or reducing the steam flow towards the second group of steam outlet holes that can be actuated from outside the smoothing head.
