ABSTRACT:
A variable steam control for a steam iron employs a metering rod having a plurality of cylindrical portions of successively decreasing diameters. A cam controls the position of the metering rod to position a selectable one of the cylindrical portions within a circular opening, whereby controllable water flow rates, and consequent steam flow rates are attained. The cam includes an assembly region having a cam-installation opening therein, usable following drop-in assembly, for enabling a head of a steam-control actuator rod to pass through the cam. A one-time movement of the cam locks the head in one of a plurality of user regions and blocks return to the assembly region.
