Claims

1. Steam iron (1) containing:

- the first chamber (2) for water;

- the second chamber (3) for water, located in the heel area (4) of the steam iron (1);

- a steam generator (5) located below the first chamber (2) for water in the working orientation (A) of the steam iron (1);

- the first channel (6) for the fluid, connecting the first chamber (2) for water and the generator (5) steam; and

- a ventilation pipe (10) connected to the upper part of the second chamber (3) for water by its first end (11) and open to the environment at its second end (12), and the second end (12) of the ventilation pipe (10) at least reaches the height of the maximum water level of the first chamber (2) for water when the steam iron (1) is in the inoperative orientation (B);

- characterized in that the second fluid channel (7) connects the lower end of the first water chamber (2) with the lower part of the second water chamber (3) in the working orientation (A),

the lateral diameter of the second fluid channel (7) is in the range from 2 mm to 15 mm, and

the second water chamber (3) is completely located above the first water chamber (2) in the working orientation (A) so that as long as there is water in the second water chamber (3), the water level of the second water chamber (3) is higher the height of the water level of the first water chamber (2) in the specified working orientation (A) so as to increase the water pressure in the first fluid channel (6) generated by the fluid connecting the second water chamber (3) and the first chamber (2) for water, to provide increased steam consumption when the steam iron (1) is in working orientation (A).

2. The steam iron (1) according to claim 1, wherein the second water chamber (3) and the first water chamber (2) are positioned so that when the steam iron (1) is moved to the non-working orientation (B) from the working orientation (A) move water from the first water chamber (2) to the second water chamber (3) through the second fluid channel (7) until the heights of the water levels in the first water chamber (2) and the ventilation pipe (10) equalize ...

3. Steam iron (1) according to claim 2, wherein the first fluid channel (6) is located above the height of the maximum water level of the first water chamber (2) when the steam iron (1) is in an inoperative orientation (B) to provide the possibility of air passage in the steam generator (5) into the first chamber (2) for water through the first channel (6) for the fluid medium while moving water from the first chamber (2) for water into the second chamber (3) for water.

4. Steam iron (1) according to any preceding claim, wherein the first water chamber (2), the second fluid passage (7), the second water chamber (3) and the ventilation tube (10) are jointly formed in a substantially U-shaped design.

5. Steam iron (1) according to any one of the preceding claims, in which the capacity of the second water chamber (3) is in the range of 5 ml to 50 ml.

6. A steam iron (1) according to any preceding claim, wherein the minimum cross-sectional area of the second fluid channel (7) is 5 mm ² .

7. Steam iron (1) according to any preceding claim, wherein the second fluid channel (7) is formed in the form of a rectangular structure between the first water chamber (2) and the second water chamber (3).

8. Steam iron (1) according to any preceding claim, wherein the second fluid channel (7) is integral with or separate from the first water chamber (2) and / or the second water chamber (3).

9. Steam iron (1) according to any preceding claim, wherein the first water chamber (2) comprises a water inlet (29) and a sealing element (30) located on its side wall,

moreover, the inlet (29) for water is configured to ensure the filling of the first chamber (2) for water and the second (3) chamber for water with water when in the inoperative orientation (B), and

The sealing element (30) is configured to seal the water inlet (29) after filling the first water chamber (2) and the second water chamber (3) and before moving the steam iron (1) to the working orientation (A).

10. The steam iron (1) according to any preceding claim, in which the inoperative orientation (B) denotes the orientation in which the steam iron rests with its heel area (4) on the work surface.

11. Steam iron (1) according to any preceding claim, in which the second water chamber (3) is located in the heel area behind the rear cover (4a).

12. Steam iron (1) according to any preceding claim, in which the ventilation tube (10) is located inside the handle (41) of the steam iron (35).

13. Steam iron (1) according to any preceding paragraph, in which a sole (36) is provided adjacent to the steam generator (5), in which the conversion of water into steam is ensured, and the sole (36) has several outlet openings (38) for steam and is facing the garment to be ironed after moving the steam iron (1) to work orientation (A) from non-work orientation (B).
