Embodiment Construction

[0033] refer to Figures 1 to 9 , shows a garment care device 1 of an embodiment of the present invention. The garment care device 1 comprises a housing 2 with an opening 3 . The garment steamer 1 also includes a door 4 connected to the housing 2 via a hinge and which can be opened, allowing a user to access the interior of the housing 2 via the opening 3 .

[0034] The housing 2 includes an outer rear wall 2A and opposing outer side walls 2B, 2C, and the door 4 includes a door wall 4A. The outer rear and side walls 2A, 2B, 2C and the door wall 4A are generally flat, so that when the door 4 is closed, the garment care device 1 is generally parallelepiped in shape (e.g. figure 1 shown).

[0035] image 3 and 4 show as figure 1 A cross-sectional view of the garment care device 1 is shown along the line X-X and shows that the garment care device 1 comprises a chamber 5 within the housing 2 . Chamber 5 is generally rectangular prism shaped and bounded by inner wall 5A (at t...

Abstract

The present application relates to a garment care device (1) comprising a housing (2) and a chamber (5) within the housing (2) to receive at least one garment. The chamber (5) comprises an air inlet (17) and an air outlet (18). An air channel (15) links the air inlet (17) and the air outlet (18). The garment care device (1) further comprises a fan (19) for circulating an air flow between the chamber (5), the air outlet (18), the air channel (15) and the air inlet (17), and a heater (14) for heating the air flow. The air inlet (17) is configured such that air entering the chamber (5) flows along a first direction (A1, A2). The air outlet (18) is configured to draw the air in the chamber (5) along a second direction (B) transverse to the first direction (A1, A2).The garment care device further comprises a second fan (32) and an extraction channel (31) linking the chamber (5) with the second fan (32). The second fan (32) is configured to selectively draw an air flow out of the chamber (5) and into the extraction channel (31). The garment care device (1) allows improving the drying and sanitizing of garments.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of garment care devices. Background technique [0002] With the goal of maintaining a clean and hygienic home environment, various cleaning and sanitizing appliances are available. Such equipment includes sterilizers for cleaning utensils, toothbrushes, cooking utensils and baby feeding equipment. However, equipment for sanitizing garments is less common. [0003] Conventional washing machines generally do not reach the temperatures needed to effectively sanitize clothes, meaning bacteria may survive and continue to grow on garments after the washing process. There are commercially available sanitizing washing machines that provide cold water with ozone. However such devices suffer from the disadvantage that any remaining ozone residue can pose an environmental safety hazard if it escapes into the local environment. Washing machines are also available that provide wash cycles capable of heating water up to...
