ABSTRACT:
An electric steam iron comprises a casing (1) whose rear provides a heel (2) and a sole (3) heated by an electric resistance (4), and is adapted to occupy two positions, either an ironing position in which it rests on the sole (3), or a rest position in which it rests on the heel (2). The sole (3) has a partition (5) forming with a closure plate (6) a vaporization chamber (7) which is supplied with water from a reservoir (8) and which, on the one hand, communicates with a steam distribution chamber (9) having outwardly opening steam distribution openings (10), and, on the other hand, comprises a so-called de-scaling opening (11) opening into a rear portion of the iron and closed by a removably mounted closure. The closure is a removable receptacle (12) for recovery of calcified deposit communicating by a weir (13) with a vaporization chamber (7), so that the calcified deposit present in the vaporization chamber (7) falls into the receptacle (12) particularly when the iron occupies its rest position.
