Abstract

An ironing device which comprises an unheated soleplate, a fan, and a discharge port in the soleplate. The fan generates an air stream which is conveyed via the discharge port between the soleplate and a textile material. A large surface and supporting air cushion is developed between the soleplate and the textile material.
