Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9800597A1] The ironing machine comprises an iron (1) and a stand (2). The iron (1) comprises a steam generator (11) in the sole plate (15) of the iron (1). The stand (2) comprises a reservoir (21), which is connected to the steam generator (11) by means of a duct (3). The ironing machine further comprises a pump (22) in the duct (3), which pump (22) can be driven by an electric current, and flow-rate adjustment means (41). The flow-rate adjustment means (41) have at least three settings corresponding to different flow-rates of water into the steam generator (11) and comprise a control unit (41) and a driver (45) to control the electric current supplied to the pump (22) in dependence on the setting. The control unit (41) comprises a manually adjustable selector (42) for selecting a setting and a trigger (43) for activating the pump (22). During use the user can depress the trigger (43) when steam operation is required. This causes the pump (22) to be activated, thus producing a flow rate of water into the steam generator (11) depending on the setting selected by means of the adjustable selector (42).
