IRON FEATURING LIQUID PHASE GARMENT MOISTURIZATION VIA SOLEPLATE

摘要

An iron (1) comprising: a water reservoir (16) configured to hold liquid water; a heatable soleplate (20); at least one water outlet opening (24); a water atomization and distribution unit (30) configured to atomize water from the water reservoir and to distribute the atomized water to the at least one water outlet opening; at least one sensor (40 42) configured to monitor at least one motion dependent variable of the iron and to generate a reference signal reflecting said variable; a control unit (50) operatively connected to both the water atomization and distribution unit (30) and the at least one sensor (40 42) and configured to control a water outflow rate of the at least one water outlet opening (24) by controlling the operation of the water atomization and distribution unit in dependence of the reference signal generated by the at least one sensor.
