Abstract
The present application relates to a steam iron () for ironing garments. The steam iron () comprises a steam generator (), an ironing plate () and a thermal bridge arrangement (). The steam generator () comprises a main body (A) and a heating element () to heat the main body (A). The thermal bridge arrangement () extends between the main body (A) and a thermal coupling area () of the ironing plate () to heat the ironing plate () by conduction of heat from the main body (A). The thermal bridge arrangement () comprises a first portion () extending in a first direction (A) away from the thermal coupling area () and a second portion () extending in a second direction (B) towards the thermal coupling area (). This invention allows promoting steam generation operating in a high temperature for a better steam capability, while keeping a lower temperature of the ironing plate which prevents damaging garments during ironing.
