Abstract
Methods and features described herein are applicable to an improved hand-hand steaming iron that reduces dripping while operating in various orientations and that improves consistent steam generation. The iron includes a steam generating chamber that includes an integrated resistive heating element, and the chamber utilizes multiple dividing and fluid guiding elements with back and forth turn features to prevent liquid water from escaping the steam generating chamber in both vertical and horizontal positions. The combination of the geometric walls and the interaction with the heating element allow for a consistent soleplate temperature and efficient steaming of water that enters the chamber.
