An iron according to the present disclosure includes a light emitter that outputs light, and a base surface that transmits the light. A filter that suppresses transmission of visible light is provided between the light emitter and the base surface. According to the iron, the transmission of the visible light through the base surface is suppressed. Thus, the temperature on the clothes can be kept constant regardless of the color of the clothes.

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the upper surface of the cabinet, and provides a space in which clothing is supported; a processing part which can be withdrawn from the first housing and provided so as to supply at least one of heat or moisture to the clothing; a body which can be withdrawn from the second housing via the outlet; and a second support part which is provided in the body and located above the first support part, provides a space in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.

The invention relates to a portable device (1100) comprising a bottom surface (BS) intended to be in contact with a textile (TXT). The portable device comprises an image sensor (5) for taking an image of a textile, and an illumination system (6) for illuminating a portion of the textile when said image is being taken. The portable device also comprises a control unit (8a) for executing an algorithm stored in the portable device, using the taken image as an input of said algorithm, to obtain a classification of the textile. The image sensor and the control unit are integrated within the portable device. The image sensor has an active surface sensitive to light, which is oriented compared to said bottom surface (BS), with an absolute value of the orientation angle being in the range 15-70 degrees; and/or the illumination system (6) has a light source oriented compared to the said bottom surface (BS), with an absolute value of the orientation angle being in the range 15-70 degrees.

The present invention relates to a fluoropolymer-based coating of the surface of a household article comprising at least two decorations (a) and (b) arranged between or in its layers, wherein: (a) is a decoration comprising at least one thermochromic pigment composition in the form of particles consisting of a (Bi1-xAx) (V1-yMy)O4 type pigment, where: —x is 0 or x is from 0.001 to 0.999; —y is equal to 0 or y is from 0.001 to 0.999; —A and M are selected from the group consisting of nitrogen, phosphorus, an alkali metal, an alkaline earth metal, a transition metal, a poor metal, a metalloid or a lanthanide; —A and M are different from each other; and (b) is a decoration comprising a temperature reference pigment composition.
