Benefits of technology

The invention provides a planar support element for an active ingredient to treat clothing, which can be easily attached to a steam generator for efficient treatment. The frame gives stability to the support element, allowing for easy handling and positioning within the attachment. The multi-chamber system reduces the risk of uneven distribution of active ingredients and allows for different functionalities to be assigned to each chamber. The outer chamber can be designed for a different function, such as storing accumulated condensate. The frame rim is preferably continuously convex, which makes the support element compact.

Problems solved by technology

Using the multi-chamber system proposed here, different active ingredients can also be stored, the common storage of which in only one chamber could lead to problems during storage due to certain mutual incompatibilities of active ingredients.

Embodiment Construction

[0022]Before going into more detail in respect of FIGS. 4a-4d, which show a support element according to the invention marked with reference sign 1, it is described with the aid of FIGS. 1 to 3 for what purpose and in what interaction with other components the support element 1 according to the invention is used.

[0023]FIG. 1 shows an attachment 2 which is fastened to a steam generator 100, of which only an application tip 101 can be seen in the representation in FIG. 1. A steam outlet opening of the application tip 101 is covered by the attachment 2 in the representation in FIG. 1. Hot steam that is generated by the steam generator 100 is passed through the channel-shaped or tubular application tip 101 and emerges from the steam outlet opening. The attachment 2 is permeable to steam. The steam emerging from the steam generator 100 thus flows through the attachment 2 to the outside. Further components of the steam generator 100, such as a water reservoir or a heating element for heat...

Abstract

A support element for an active ingredient for treating a piece of clothing, the support element being designed to have hot steam flowing therethrough transversely to a main extension plane and to enrich the steam with the active ingredient in the process. The invention is characterized in that the support element has a structure-stabilizing frame extending in the main plane and at least two chambers which are separated from one another, the active ingredient being stored in at least one of the chambers.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a support element for an active ingredient for treating a piece of clothing.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]In the unpublished German patent application DE 10 2018 222 295, a functional element is described that can be inserted into a receiving space of an attachment that is mounted on a steam outlet opening of a steam generator. The hot steam from the steam generator flows through the planar support element transversely or perpendicularly to a main extension plane thereof. When flowing through the steam-permeable support element, the steam is enriched with the active ingredient, for example in the form of a fragrance, contained in the support element, immediately before said steam hits the piece of clothing. The piece of clothing can thus be easily refreshed by the steam, so that more complex washing or cleaning of the piece of clothing can be postponed.[0003]The support element of DE 10 2018 222 295 has a textile fabric...
