<p>6D-5006 EXTRA CAPACITY STEAM IRON The invention is directed to an extra capacity steam iron with a soleplate having steam ports and heating means and separate forward main, and rear surge, steam generators with conventional means for selective delivery of water to the generators and having a heat regulating thermostat. The improvement to this structure comprises a walled enclosure on the soleplate defining the surge generator in the rear half of the iron and tortuous passages lead from the enclosure to the soleplate ports. A boss is provided upstanding from the soleplate spacedly disposed in the enclosure and a coverplate defines steam distributing passages from the main generator and, with the enclosure and the passages, separate distributing passages from the surge generator. The upstanding boss is in the form of a pyramid with plural slanted striated surfaces sloping toward the soleplate, the striations being in the form of parallel grooves directed down the surfaces to spread and direct water into the enclosure. The water delivery means dumps water substantially centrally of the boss so that the boss forms a heat sink and a water spreader throughout the walled enclosure for efficient and rapid heat transfer to form extra capacity steam.</p> |
