Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2017068279A1] The invention relates to a steam-smoothing apparatus comprising a base intended for producing a steam flow and connected to a smoothing head (1; 101) via a flexible pipe (2; 102) in which the steam produced by the base freely escapes to the smoothing head (1; 101). The smoothing head (1; 101) comprises a rear portion, forming a grasping handle (3, 103), and a widened front portion (4; 104) comprising a surface (5; 105) provided with a plurality of steam outlet holes (51, 52; 151, 152) through which the flow of steam from the base is distributed. Said steam-smoothing apparatus is characterized in that the widened front portion (4; 104) contains a first steam-dispensing chamber (71; 171) which supplies steam to a first group of steam outlet holes (51; 151), and a second steam-dispensing chamber (72; 172) which supplies steam to a second group of steam outlet holes (52; 152). Said steam-smoothing apparatus is also characterized in that the smoothing head (1; 101) comprises means (80; 109) for blocking or reducing the steam flow towards the second group of steam outlet holes (52; 152) that can be actuated from outside the smoothing head (1; 101).
