Abstract

The invention relates to an iron (1) comprising a container of water (2) at atmospheric pressure. The water from the container flows through a nozzle between said container (2) and a heated and regulated steam chamber (5). An iron sole plate (3) forms the ironing surface and steam outlet holes (12) are arranged in said sole plate (3). The invention is characterized in that the iron (1) comprises means for creating a resonance or relaxation vibration in the water and steam circuit. The cyclic variation in the steam pressure is automatically maintained at an average pressure above that corresponding to the column of water available in the iron.
