  • the base 12 defines a chamber 19 to generate steam which connects the tank 1 1 to the plate 13.
  • connection we mean that there is a fluidic connection between the tank 11 and the plate 13 thanks to which the steam generated by the water coming from the tank 1 1 reaches the plate 13 and can be used for ironing.
  • the drawings show a connection hole 35 through which the water coming from the tank 1 1 passes.
  • the heated surface 20 can be heated by means of heating devices, for example electric or other type.
  • the heating devices are configured to take the heated surface 20 to a temperature sufficient to vaporize the water when it is in contact with the contact zone 21.
  • the iron 10 is provided with a removable anti-limescale device 22 comprising a tubular body 23 located in the chamber 19.
  • the tubular body 23 of the anti-limescale device 22 defines a passage channel 24 for the steam toward the plate 13, through which the steam passes to reach the plate 13.
  • the tubular body 23 comprises at least one passage hole 25 for the water located on the contact zone 21, or in correspondence with the contact zone 21.
  • the tubular body 23 can have a polygonal or circular cross-section, or other shape with possibly beveled edges.
  • the passage hole 25 can be substantially parallel to the heated surface 20 in correspondence with the contact zone 21 where the water generates steam.
  • the tubular body 23 can have the passage hole 25 in correspondence with one of its ends.
  • the tubular body 23 can comprise two passage holes 25 located on opposite walls and aligned along an axis orthogonal to the longitudinal extension of the tubular body 23.
  • At least one passage hole 25 can be through, perpendicularly to the longitudinal extension of the tubular body 23.
  • the passage hole 25 can cooperate with a shaped portion 27 of the tubular body 23 so that there is only one hole.
  • This configuration allows to condition the limescale to form almost exclusively on the contact zone 21 inside the space defined by the passage hole 25.
  • the limescale does not damage or hinder the functioning of other parts of the iron 10 and, therefore, by removing the limescale from the contact zone 21 it is possible to restore the correct functioning of the iron 10 itself.
  • any limescale possibly present inside the passage channel 24 can easily be removed by extracting the tubular body 23 from the chamber 19 and cleaning the limescale from it, outside the iron 10.
  • the tubular body 23 can comprise at least a protruding portion 26 facing toward the heated surface 20 and configured to mechanically remove the limescale that has deposited in the contact zone 21 while the tubular body 23 is removed from the chamber 19.
  • the protruding portion 26 faces toward the outside of the tubular body 23. This allows to remove the limescale deposited in the contact zone 21 with the aid of the protruding portion 26 simultaneously with the extraction of the tubular body 23 from the chamber 19.
  • the present invention therefore substantially allows to remove all the limescale which is formed in the iron 10.
  • the protruding portion 26 can be disposed along at least part of the perimeter of the passage hole 25.
  • the protruding portions 26 can be provided beyond the passage hole 25, or in proximity, or in correspondence with the end of the tubular body 23.
  • the tubular body 23 can be located in the chamber for a length comprised between 20% and 75% of the length of the plate 13.
  • the tubular body 23 can be located in the chamber for a length comprised between 40% and 70% of the length of the plate 13.
  • This aspect has the advantage that it is possible to make an iron 10 in which the limescale which is generated in a contact zone 21, substantially positioned in a central zone of the plate 13 or in any case distant from the rear support base of the iron 10, can be removed.
  • the tubular body 23 can be provided with a plurality of holes 28 disposed along at least part of the longitudinal extension of the tubular body 23 itself and through which, during use, the steam passes.
  • the holes 28 allow the steam generated in the contact zone 21 and passing through the passage channel 24 to reach the plate 13.
  • the lower shell 18 can comprise one or more through apertures 36 for the steam.
  • the steam exiting from the holes 28 can pass through at least one through aperture 36 of the lower shell 18 to reach the plate 13.
  • the plurality of holes 28 are disposed along two opposite lateral walls of the tubular body 23.
