ABSTRACT:
A portable garment finishing apparatus of the present invention comprises a water reservoir, a water conversion device, and a conventional steam heated iron. The present apparatus is designed to operate from a single 115 v power source, such as an ordinary wall outlet. Using a water-level probe in connection with a circuit board having a relay switch, a pump is regulated in its supply of water from the reservoir to the steam chamber in the conversion device. Water continuously is converted to steam and constantly released to the iron where it maintains the iron temperature and may be released onto a garment for finishing. The steam returns to the conversion device where it condenses in a steam trap valve for subsequent return to the reservoir, where it may be recycled.
