Abstract: An appliance for removing creases is disclosed having a handle (1) and a body (2) comprising a tank (3) partially filled with water (4) heated by an electrical heating and vaporized element (5) connected to contact prongs (7). The vapor so produced flows through a duct (9) to orifices (11) in a plate (10) adapted to be slid over the surface from which creases are to be removed. The tank (3) is filled through opening (16) which is partially closed by an inwardly extending retainer flange (18) which is located between a stopper (20) for the filling opening (16) and a retaining finger (19). At its other end, the handle (1) has an opening (22) therein in alignment with a socket (8) which receives a removable plug (30) of a supply cord. When the plug (30) is in place (FIG. 1), it is impossible to turn the handle. Upon removal of the plug (30), the handle (1) may be pivoted about the axis of the opening (16) (FIG.
