Abstract
An electric iron wherein a cermic sole plate transmits infrared light and is heated by one or more halogen lamps within a reflector in the housing of the iron whose concave surface faces the lamp or lamps and reflects heat upon the sole plate. The reflector further effects the heating of water which is admitted into a steam chamber in the housing of the iron between the reflector and the ceramic sole plate, and the resulting steam is conveyed to nozzles extending into openings in the sole plate.
