IRON WITH FOAM MOISTENING MEANS

摘要

The invention relates to an iron having means for moistening fabric to be ironed. According to the invention, the moistening means comprise a device for generating foam and means for applying said generated foam to the fabric. For example, foam may be generated by means of a nozzle ( 21 ) having a first inlet ( 8 ) for a foaming liquid ( 6 ) and a second inlet ( 12 ) for supplying pressurized air to the nozzle so as to mix air with said liquid, thereby creating foam ( 42 ). Applying foam to the fabric ( 50 ) can be realized by means of a doctor blade ( 51 ) to break up the foam.
