ABSTRACT:
An electric iron includes a soleplate and a housing connected to the soleplate. The housing forms a water reservoir. An opening is formed in an outer wall of the housing. A valve seat is formed adjacent the top of the opening. A float valve having a specific gravity less than one is movably disposed within the reservoir. The valve moves into engagement with the valve seat to prevent the flow of water through the opening when the water level in the reservoir raises the valve into engagement with the valve seat.
