A synchronous adjustment mechanism for use in a steam iron includes an active module and a passive module. The active module is operable to adjust steam emission rate of the steam iron. The passive module is operable to adjust temperature of a soleplate of the steam iron. The active module and the passive module are cooperatively associated with each other, so that when the active module is operated to adjust the steam emission rate of the steam iron, the passive module is driven by the active module to synchronously adjust the temperature of the soleplate.

The present application relates to a steam device comprising a steam generator (60), at least one steam vent (37) through which steam is emitted from the steam device, a steam path (50) between the steam generator (60) and the at least one steam vent (37). The steam path (50) has a base (53) along which scale is able to pass. The steam device also comprises a noise generator (60) configured to act on steam generated by the steam generator (60) to generate noise. The noise generator (60) is spaced from the base (53) of the steam path (50) so that scale is not obstructed by the noise generator (60).

The present application relates to a steam iron head (30). The steam iron head (30) has a steam inlet (36), a steam pathway (40), and at least one steam vent through which steam is discharged from the steam iron head. The steam pathway (40) has a first steam flow section (50) and a second steam flow section (60). The first steam flow section (50) defines an indirect flow path between the steam inlet (36) and a second steam flow section (60). The second steam flow section (60) defines a cyclonic flow path between the first steam flow section (50) and the at least one steam vent. The present application also relates to a steam system iron (10) having a steam iron head (30). This invention helps remove any water droplets, for example formed by condensation, from the steam flow passing through the steam iron head from the steam inlet to the at least one steam vent.

An iron has a heel on which the iron can rest during inactive ironing phases, an internal reservoir, a fill opening fluidly connected to the internal reservoir, a fill opening cover movable between a closed position and an open position, a seal configured to seal the fill opening when the fill opening cover is in the closed position, and a vent which is fluidly connected to the internal reservoir when the fill opening cover is in the closed position. The seal includes a barrier part extending into the internal reservoir, and a ventilation orifice which is fluidly connected to the vent, and which opens into the internal reservoir, the barrier part and the ventilation orifice being configured so as to prevent liquid from flowing from the internal reservoir and through the vent when the fill opening cover is in the closed position and the iron rests on the heel.
