Embodiment Construction

[0054] figure 1 Shown is a laundry steaming device 1 comprising: a first water chamber 2; a second water chamber 3 located in the heel 4 of the laundry steaming device 1 (as shown in Figures 3a and 3b); and a steam generating The device 5 is located below the first water chamber 2 in the operating orientation A of the laundry steaming device 1 .

[0055] The first fluid path 6 fluidly communicates the first water chamber 2 and the steam generator 5 .

[0056] The second fluid path 7 fluidly communicates the bottom end of the first water chamber 2 with the lower part of the second water chamber 3 via the second fluid path inlet 8 via the second fluid path outlet 9 . The second fluid path inlet 8 is preferably arranged at the lowest point of the side wall 25 , but can also be arranged at any height in the side wall 25 of the first water chamber 2 . The second fluid path outlet 9 is preferably arranged in the bottom wall 26 , but can also be arranged at any height in the side w...

Abstract

The present application relates to a garment steaming device (1) comprising a first water chamber (2), a second water chamber (3) situated in a heel portion (4) of the garment steaming device (1), a steam generator (5) situated below the first water chamber (2) in an operational orientation (A) of the garment steaming device (1). The garment steaming device (1) also comprises a first fluid path (6) connecting the first water chamber (2) and the steam generator (5), a second fluid path (7) connecting a bottom end of the first water chamber (2) and a lower part of the second water chamber (3) and a vent pipe (10) connected to a top part of the second water chamber (3) by its first end (11) and open to the atmosphere at its second end (12). The second end (12) of the vent pipe (10) extends atleast as far as the maximum water level height of the first water chamber (2) when the garment steaming device (1) is in a non-operational orientation (B). The second water chamber (3) is arranged higher than the first water chamber (2) in the operational orientation (A) so that a water level height of the second water chamber (3) is higher than a water level height of the first water chamber (2)in the operational orientation (A), so that the water head in the first fluid path (6) generated by the fluid coupling the second water chamber (3) and the first water chamber (2) is increased to obtain an increased steam rate when the garment steaming device is in the operation orientation (A).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a clothes steaming device, and more particularly, to a clothes steaming device including a steam iron. Background technique [0002] Clothes steaming devices, such as steam irons, generate steam that is used to remove creases and wrinkles from fabrics. The most common method of generating steam is to feed water from a reservoir through a controlled orifice into a steam generator where the water is heated to generate steam. In the laundry steamer's operating position, the reservoir is usually above the steam generator, so that gravity affects the flow of water from the reservoir into the steam generator. [0003] The water added to the steam generator is evaporated. The resulting volume expansion can lead to relatively high pressure conditions. This high pressure in the steam generator can exceed the pressure at the orifice caused by the hydraulic head in the reservoir above the steam generator, especially if the stea...
