A'rurther object ofthe invention is to provide a simple steam nipple lco'ninunieating with the interior'oi thest'eam chamber and having afixe'd water'pipe' connection to the Water of condensation inthe bottom'of the chamber or? reservoir therefor whereby. stealnr with the desired Water content may be discharged through a'suitable outlet conduit connected to the'other end of the nipple.

Further objects and advantages of the invention,v including several specific forms of the-nipple and its arrangement will appear from the description and claims toffollow in connection with" the accompanying drawings which illustrate vthe apparatus, by'wayof eam'ple. but notv of limitation, and several specific forms of the nipple,v and in'which" Figure 1 isa' view'of an' ironing-table with a steam hydrator 'of this invention applied thereto; Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional' View'on'ah enlarged scale of the steam-'condensing chamber and water mixer or injector and outlet valve,`as used in Fig. 1; v l l FigjB is a similar sectional View or diier'en't forio'f steam-containing chambeand Vei'ituriw typ ofV injector or mixer;y and Figi. 4 is a similar Sectionai View' ofl'a. diirer'ent arrangement of condenser chamber and Venturi typejinjector.- Y

With this arrangement, when the stop valve member 2l is raised sufficiently by the foot pedal, the steam rushes through the inclined ports 38 in the tube 28. This tends to reduce the pressure and produce a vacuum eifeot at the end of tube 32, causing a suction thereon which, under the condition of the pressure in the tank and on the water, causes the water to be injected from the bore 34 of the pointed tube into the steam jet and to mix therewith to produce the desired wet steam at the spray head and nozzle I8.
In the form of steam hydrator of Fig. 3, the steam and condensing chamber corresponding to chamber I3 of Figs. l and 2 comprises two chambers 35 and 36, suitably supported with respect to the bed IIJ, the steaminlet 31 and the return pipe 33 being connected, as shown, to the larger receptacle 35. The two chambers are connected near the bottoms by a suitable pipe connection 33. The return pipe 3S provides an overflow to limit the height of the water of condensation 4U, indicated by dashed lines, in the two chambers 35 and 38. The chamber 33, being separated from chamber 35, is somewhat cooler.
In this case the nipple 4I having a Venturi type bore or passage 42 through it, is suitably secured at one end to the steam chamber 35 near the top and extends over the top of chamber 36. At the opposite end, the nipple is connected by angle coupling 43 and short pipe 44 with the stop valve I3 as in the case of Figs. i and 2. At the reduced portion of the bore 42 of nipple 4I, the upper end of tube 54 is suitably connected and extends down through packing gland 45 into the chamber 3E and into the water 4B, as indicated. The relatively small bore 46 in the tube 54 opens into the nipple 4I at the restricted portion of its bore 42 so that on sufficiently opening the stop valve I6 by the pedal, the steam rushes out through the nipple 4I and produces an effective vacuum effect in the said restricted portion in the well known manner which sucks the water up through the bore 46 of the tube 54. This water mixes with the high velocity steam and is carried thereby through the ilexible hose to produce a moist steam to be ejected at the nozzle I8 upon the garment being treated.
In the arrangement of Fig. 4, the nipple 4'1 with which its Venturi type passage 48 and water tube connection 49 are all inside the single chamber D corresponding to chamber I3 in Figs. i and 2 and chambers 35 and 36 of Fig. 3, the nipple being connected to and through the side wall of the chamber 5I! and by angle coupling 5I, .pipe 52, to the valve I6 in the same manner as in the other iigures.
In this iigure the reservoir 5G is not shown complete, but it would have inlet and return steam pipes connected therewith as in the other figures and maintain a body composed of water 4I! therein as before.
Here, also, the opening of stop valve suii'iciently will result in a stream of high velocity steam out of the nipple 41, the suction ci the water up into the restricted Venturi passage and its mixture with the steam in the issuing stream and which is carried through the hose and discharged at the spray nozzle as wet steam.
In all the foregoing forms, the simple nipple and simple plain water pipe connection result in a means for spraying dry steam by partially opening the control valve IIi by the foot pedal or steam of the desired degree of wetness by openingthe said valve still further'. It is extremely simple, efcient and of relatively low cost.
Without further elaboration, the foregoing will so fully explain the gist of my invention that others may, by applying current knowledge,
readily adapt the same for use under varying conditions of service, Without eliminating certain features, which may properly be said to constitute the essential items of novelty involved, which items are intended to be defined and secured to me by the following claims.
