ABSTRACT:
An electric steam iron includes a housing, a water reservoir, a boiler in fluid flow communication with said water reservoir, a soleplate, a first heater for the boiler, and a second heater for the soleplate. A fluid control device regulates the flow of fluid from the reservoir to the boiler. A first thermostat independently regulates the operation of the boiler heater and a second thermostat independently regulates the operation of the soleplate heater. The first and second thermostats are electrically separated from each other and thus the first and second heaters are independently controlled. The boiler comprises a first member in direct contact with the first heater for receiving water from the reservoir and transforming the water into steam. A second member overlies the first member and defines therebetween a first flow path for the steam. A third member overlies the second member and defines therebetween a second flow path for the steam. The first and second flow paths are in fluid flow communication such that the steam flowing in the second flow path flows in a direction opposite to the steam flowing in the first flow path. The steam flowing through the second flow path is supplied to the soleplate for distribution onto a garment.
