Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS52128487
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A self-cleaning steam iron with steam control means, a fill opening to an interior water tank, a ported soleplate and a steam generating boiler and coverplate with distribution passages therebetween and having means to purge the iron of water and residues including a substantially large opening in the tank with means operable to control the opening to suddenly dump and conduct the water directly into the boiler. To this general arrangement the invention provides an improvement comprising a boiler which has at least a pair of separate symmetrical legs extending toward the rear of the iron with each leg having outlet means preferably on the outer peripheral side of the leg and extending substantially over the entire outside of each leg, the outlet means communicating with the soleplate ports so the tank water may be suddenly dumped directly into the boiler to traverse the entire boiler rearwardly through each leg and then through the outlet toward the soleplate periphery and through the port means to scrub the entire boiler clear of deposits.
