Abstract
A steam pressing iron having a steam conduit system designed to improve the elimination of water droplets entrained by the steam. The steam conduit system includes cylindrical recesses to which the steam is supplied in a lateral tangential direction and from which the steam escapes upwards at a central region. As a result, the steam is constrained to follow a circumferentially extending vortex flow path, whereby the water droplets are flung outwards. In a preferred embodiment the wall surface of the recess is extended by a projection rising from the bottom of the recess, so that the eliminated water droplets are rapidly evaporated by contact with the heated material of the pressing iron sole.
