Abstract: An iron includes a soleplate, a heating body including a lower face in thermal contact with the soleplate and an upper face at which a vaporization chamber is provided, and a system for injecting water into the chamber including two injection openings that simultaneously inject water onto two separate evaporation areas of a bottom wall of the chamber when the soleplate is arranged horizontally. The chamber is bordered laterally by a side wall extending from the bottom wall to a closing cover attached to the heating body, the side wall including a passage establishing communication between the chamber and a steam distribution circuit leading to a steam outlet opening provided in the soleplate. The passage is provided at one longitudinal end of the chamber. The chamber includes a separation wall extending from the two evaporation areas to the passage to provide a partition between the two evaporation areas.

Abstract: Steam iron comprising a heating body (3) comprising a steam chamber (32) and an ironing surface (52) connected thermally to the heating body (3), the ironing surface (52) being designed to come into contact with the fabric to be ironed, and being advantageously provided with steam release holes (50), the heat produced by the heating body (3) being transferred to the ironing surface (52) by conduction through at least two components (3, 4) of the iron, pressed together, characterized in that the two components (3, 4) are in direct contact with one another at at least one point of contact (40A) with a contact surface area of less than 2 mm2 and preferably less than 1 mm2.

Abstract: Electrical household appliance comprising a base (1) for the generation of steam, having a liquid tank (6) mounted removably on a receiving socket (10) and having a steam generator located outside of said tank (6), the steam generator being supplied by gravity by a supply line from the tank (6) and having a steam outlet through which the steam can escape towards a work tool, such as a crease-removing brush, said supply line comprising an inlet orifice located on the receiving socket (10), and said tank (6) comprising a closed enclosure (61) having only one outlet orifice (52) which connects the said inlet orifice when the tank is placed on the receiving socket (10), which appliance is characterized in that said tank (6) connects leaktightly onto said receiving socket (10) and in that said appliance has a vent line admitting air to the outlet orifice (52) of the tank, said vent line having one end connected to the exterior which is higher than the outlet orifice (52) of the tank.

Abstract: A steam iron having a boiling compartment (15) for producing steam and a steam distribution circuit with a smoothing brush (3) including a head (31) equipped with at least one hole (32) for emitting a flow of steam, characterized in that it contains a steam flow acceleration device (4) that generates a puff of air to increase the steam flow rate at the outlet of the smoothing brush (3).

Abstract: The invention relates to a steam iron that comprises a housing including a tank (5) above a heating body and a safety device that protects the tank (5) against overpressure, the heating body (3) comprising a vaporization chamber supplied with liquid from the tank (5) by a supply circuit, characterized in that said supply circuit includes a member (93) extending inside the tank (5) and having an opening (12) blocked by a valve (94A), said valve (94A) opening a passage through said opening (12) when the pressure inside the tank (5) reaches a predetermined value.
