Abstract (en)
The invention relates to a steam iron pump assembly including a two-position selector having one position corresponding to a sudden discharge of steam and a second position corresponding to spraying cold water. According to the invention the pump assembly (100) comprises a pump body (101) surmounted by a deformable bellows (102), and having two side outlets (105, 106) together with a rotary selector (111) passing through the deformable bellows (102). A bottom portion (112) of the rotary selector (111) is surrounded by a sealing sleeve (114) which is radially deformable at the level of one or other of the two side outlets (105, 106) from the pump body (101). The profile of the bottom portion (112) is adapted, depending on the angular position of the rotary selector (111), to apply the sleeve (114) against one of the outlet orifices while simultaneously allowing water to pass through the other outlet orifice.
