The present application relates to a clothing processing apparatus comprising: a cabinet provided with a first housing and a second housing which provide an accommodation space; an outlet passing through the upper surface of the cabinet and communicating with the second housing; a first support part that can rotate from one surface of the cabinet toward the upper surface of the cabinet, and provides a space in which clothing is supported; a processing part which can be withdrawn from the first housing and provided so as to supply at least one of heat or moisture to the clothing; a body which can be withdrawn from the second housing via the outlet; and a second support part which is provided in the body and located above the first support part, provides a space in which the clothing is supported, and has a smaller area than the first support part. The second support part includes: a first board which is fixed to the body so as to be capable of rotating from the body toward the upper surface of the first support part; and a second board which is rotatably fixed to the first board so as to be capable of rotating on a plane parallel to the upper surface of the first support part, and which provides a space in which the clothing is supported.

A steam generator includes a pre-heat chamber configured to heat incoming water to a temperature less than the boiling point of water, where the pre-heat chamber is configured to heat the water such that if the water contains a calcium compound, the calcium compound is caused to take a particulate form. The steam generator also includes a filter assembly in fluid communication with the pre-heat chamber, the filter assembly including a removable particulate filter element, where the filter element is reusable and cleanable. The steam generator also includes a water pump in fluid communication with the filter assembly, and operative to cause water flow through the steam generator and a boiler in fluid communication with the water pump, where the water pump is configured to cause water to flow to the boiler, and where the boiler is configured to boil water such that steam is produced.

A handheld appliance delivers heat and steam to a clothing garment or fabric. The appliance has a housing that contains a removable water reservoir, a pump, a control board, and a steam generator. The steam generator has a steam outlet that is a single nozzle connected to one of a plurality of output heads are interchangeably connected. Each output head has a steam outlet of different configurations to selectively vary one or more of steam emission pressure, steam emission distance and steam emission area. One or more output heads include physical components for direct contact with the garment or fabric.

A steaming device (1) is operable in a cordless mode and has a steaming body (2) having a first water chamber (6), a second water chamber (7), a steam generator (8), a first fluid path (20) between the first water chamber (6) and the second water chamber (7), and a second fluid path (26) between the second water chamber (7) and the steam generator (8). The first fluid path (20) is configured to prevent water flow from the first water chamber (6) to the second water chamber (7) when the steaming body (2) is orientated in a normal operating position. The first fluid path (20) is also configured to allow water flow from the first water chamber (6) to the second water chamber (7) when the steaming body is orientated in a rest position in which the steaming body is inclined at an angle to the normal operating position.

A steam type clothing flattening device includes an electrical heating tray unit and a soleplate unit. The electrical heating tray unit is heated electrically to vaporize water in an upper vaporization chamber thereof, and has a discharge port for discharge of vapor from the upper vaporization chamber. The soleplate unit is coupled to an underside of and heated by the electrical heating tray unit. The soleplate unit cooperates with the electrical heating tray unit to define a lower vaporization chamber in communication with the discharge port, and has a plurality of vapor outlets extending through a bottom surface thereof for outletting vapor from the lower vaporization chamber.
