Abstract: The present application relates to a steam device comprising a steam chamber having a steam generating surface onto which liquid water is provided to be evaporated into steam, a fabric treating plate comprising a fabric treating face and at least one steam vent through which steam is expelled onto a fabric to be steamed, an outlet flow section located between the steam generating surface and the fabric treating face wherein the outlet flow section defines an indirect flow path between the steam chamber and the at least one steam vent and a heater for heating the outlet flow section such that liquid water which enters the outlet flow section from the steam chamber is evaporated into steam. The outlet flow section comprises at least one boundary surface with a plurality of recesses for reducing the flow rate of liquid water travelling through the outlet flow section.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for generating steam. The device comprises a water outlet arrangement having an open end to spray water onto a water receiving arrangement. The water receiving arrangement comprises an interior surface defining a chamber in which the open end is arranged so that water sprayed from the open end is sprayed onto the interior surface. The device further comprises a heating element for heating the interior surface up to a temperature for generating steam from water sprayed on the interior surface. The interior surface is formed by two separate cavities, the open end comprising a spray nozzle received within each cavity so that each spray nozzle sprays water onto a region of the interior surface, each region being defined by the cavity in which a respective spray nozzle is received. This allows the water sprayed by the water outlet arrangement be more uniformly spread on the interior surface, leading to more effective heating and more steam may be generated per unit time.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device (1) for generating steam. The device (1) comprises a water outlet arrangement (2) having an open end (3) to spray water onto a water receiving arrangement (4). The water receiving arrangement (4) comprises an interior surface (5) defining a chamber (6) in which the open end (3) is arranged so that water sprayed from the open end (3) is sprayed onto the interior surface (5). The device further comprises a heating element (7) for heating the interior surface (5) up to a temperature for generating steam from water sprayed on the interior surface (5). The interior surface (5) is formed by two separate cavities (14a, 14b), the open end (3) comprising a spray nozzle (2) received within each cavity (14a, 14b) so that each spray nozzle (2) sprays water onto a region of the interior surface (5), each region being defined by the cavity (14a,14b) in which a respective spray nozzle (2) is received.

Abstract: The present application relates to a steam device (1) comprising a steam chamber (8) having a steam generating surface onto which liquid water is provided to be evaporated into steam. The steam device (1) further comprises a fabric treating plate (4) comprising a fabric treating face (4A) and at least one steam vent (6) through which steam is expelled onto a fabric to be steamed. The steam device (1) further comprises an outlet flow section (21) located between the steam generating surface and the fabric treating face (4A). The outlet flow section (21) defines an indirect flow path (C) between the steam chamber (8) and the at least one steam vent (6). The steam device (1) further comprises a heater for heating the outlet flow section (21) such that liquid water which enters the outlet flow section (21)from the steam chamber (8) is evaporated into steam.

Abstract: The present application relates to a fabric clamp (9) for a garment steamer (1). The fabric clamp (9) has a first clamp portion (10) through which steam is emittable. The fabric clamp (9) also has a second clamp portion (12) which is movable relative to the first clamp portion (10) between a closed position and an open position. The second clamp portion (12) has a steam vent (40) through which steam from the first clamp portion (10) is emittable, and a heater for heating the second clamp portion (12). The present application also relates to a garment steamer (1) and an accessory for a garment steamer (1). This fabric clamp enables a user to remove creases and create pleats from fabric more effectively, and the integrated heater also helps to prevent condensation.
