PORTABLE PRESSURIZED STEAMER TO DEWRINKLE FABRIC

摘要

The present invention provides for a portable steamer comprising a container (12) capable of maintaining a fluid disposed therein, under pressure. The portable steamer further comprises a heating element (14) disposed within a portion of the container (12). The heating element (14) provides energy that causes the fluid disposed within the container (12) to elevate to a temperature greater than the fluid's vapor temperature. Moreover, the pressure generated from the rising fluid temperature causes an increase in the pressure experienced within the container (12). At a certain point, the pressure within the container (12) reaches a pressure that is greater than the fluid's vapor pressure. Once these temperatures and pressures are achieved, a nozzle (16) attached to the container (12) may selectively release the fluid contents from the container (12). In particular embodiments, the fluid generated within the container (12) is superheated water.
