Abstract
A hand steaming device includes a housing having a reservoir adapted to contain a quantity of water, a pair of spaced apart electrodes immersed in the water in the reservoir for generating steam upon passage of electrical current between the electrodes through the water and a switch connected in circuit with the electrodes for selectively controlling the energization of the electrodes from a source of electrical power. The reservoir is provided with a fill port and a removable fill cap seals the fill port. The cap is movable between a first position wherein it seals the port and a second position wherein the port is not sealed. Control means are cooperatively associated with the switch and the fill cap and arranged such that when the fill cap is in the second position the switch is automatically opened to prevent energization of the electrodes and when the fill cap is in the first position the switch can be selectively closed to energize the electrodes or open to deenergize the electrodes as desired.
