Abstract: The invention relates to a heating device (1) comprising a metallic substrate (2) whose at least one part is coated with a self-cleaning coating. The inventive coating consists of an external layer (4) contacting ambient air and comprising at least one type of oxidation catalyst selected from platinoid oxides, at least one internal layer (3) which is arranged between the metallic substrate and the external layer and comprises at least one type of oxidation catalyst selected from transition elements oxides of 1b group. The inventive heating device can be embodied, for instance in the form of an iron soleplate consisting of a heating base (6) provided with heating elements (7) or a cooking appliance. Said metallic substrate can be covered with an intermediary enamel layer (5). A method for coating the metallic substrate of a heating device with said coating is also disclosed.

Abstract: A steam generating device including an evaporation chamber for evaporating a liquid which is delivered from a reservoir while the chamber is being heated, which chamber includes a base composed of: a body of thermally conductive material having an upper surface against which the liquid to be evaporated is directed, the body having a surface layer extending from the upper surface; and hydrophilic fibers distributed across the upper surface and at least partially and locally embedded in the surface layer.

Abstract: A steam pressing iron having a soleplate presenting an ironing surface and having steam outlet openings; a steam generating structure disposed adjacent the soleplate and defining a water vaporization chamber having a bottom surface; a device for heating water in the vaporization chamber; a covering of a material selected to promote vaporization of water disposed on the bottom surface of the vaporization chamber; and a screen disposed above the covering for distributing water across the covering.
