Abstract
An upright apparatus for heating and conditioning shirts, blouses, jackets and leisure top clothing or garments has a hot-air-supplying, supporting and positioning base part on which an upright, tubular steamer assembly having inner and outer tube element pairs is operatively positioned. A steam supply and recycling system is connected to inner tubes of the pairs in such a manner to continuously indirectly apply heat along outer tubes of the pairs within a garment conditioning chamber defined by an upwardly extending, garment-supporting, permeable bag; dry, high pressure steam is supplied to the outer tubes to periodically directly apply bursts of hot steam within the chamber. To enable a maximum utilization of the heated steam as supplied from a source, such as a boiler, the output from the tube assembly is passed through an air heating heat exchanger positioned in the base part before it is returned to the boiler.
