Abstract
An electric steam iron is provided with an auxiliary water injection device to obtain an instantaneous surplus of steam. The point of auxiliary injection (6) is located directly above a boss (3) into which a resistor type heating element (2) is cast. The boss has a planar top surface which is sloped in a direction towards a main vaporization chamber (4). The thickness of the boss between the heating element and its top surface is reduced to effect a rapid vaporization of the injected water.
