Abstract
Steam ironing press comprising a movable upper plate equipped with a heating sole and a fixed lower plate, covered with a porous resilient pad which ensures the even distribution of steam over the garment to be ironed. The steam is supplied by a steam generator situated in the base of the apparatus. The upper plate is firmly pressed against the garment, under the effect of a spring which is also used to compensate for the weight of the upper plate when the press is open. The effect of the spring is reversed by the addition of a mechanical support controlled by a press-controlling lever.
