Abstract
The present application relates to a garment steaming device (1). The garment steaming device comprises a housing (2) with a steam channel (8) arranged in the housing (2) for the passage of steam and a cavity extending into the housing (2). The garment steaming device (1) further comprises a fragrance cartridge (10) that is removeably disposed in the cavity and a valve assembly (11) which is disposed between the cavity and the steam channel (8). The valve assembly (11) is adapted to prevent steam to from flowing between the steam channel (8) and the cavity when the fragrance cartridge (10) is not disposed in the cavity. The valve assembly and the fragrance cartridge are adapted to cooperate such as to allow steam to flow between the steam channel and the cavity when the fragrance cartridge is disposed in the cavity. This solution allows a user to safely remove the fragrance cartridge from the cavity even when there is steam in the steam channel.
