DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0036] FIG. 1a, 1 b each show a perspective view of a device according to the invention when retracted and when extended. FIG. 1a shows a perspective view of the device when retracted. The device comprises a housing 1 having a plurality of housing openings (not shown) and a retaining element 2, which can be vertically extended from the housing and is accommodated in the housing 1 when retracted. The retaining element 2 is arranged in one of the housing openings. Furthermore, the device has a water tank 5, which is arranged on the housing 1, in the normal set-up position of the device. Furthermore, the device has a hand steaming apparatus 7, which is detachably fastened in another of the housing openings against and in the housing 1 in such a way that the hand steaming apparatus forms a cylindrical body together with the housing 1. The hand steaming apparatus is connected to the water tank 5 via a steam hose 4.

[0037] The water tank 5 is in particular arranged form-fittingly on the cylindrical body, in the normal set-up position of the device. The water tank 5 is also cylindrical in such a way that the water tank forms a cylindrical body together with the housing 1 and the hand steaming apparatus 7. The cylindrical body is circular-cylindrical. The water tank 5 has an opening in which the retaining element 2 is arranged in such a way that the element can be retracted and extended separately from any water in the water tank 5. The water tank 5 is detachably arranged on the housing 1 so that it can be removed from the housing 1 in order to fill the tank with water. The water tank 5 can optionally have a recess 51 which is designed in such a way that a device user can easily grip the water tank 5 with their hand to detach the water tank 5 from the housing 1. The device also has a base plate 8 on which the cylindrical body is arranged, in the normal set-up position of the device. Two wheels 6 are arranged on an axle A and are arranged and designed in such a way that the cylindrical body can be rolled by means of them when the body is tilted. When it is not tilted, the cylindrical body is stationary.

[0038] FIG. 1b shows a perspective view of the device when extended. When extended, the retaining element 2 protrudes from the housing 1 through the housing opening (not shown) and through the opening (not shown) of the water tank 5. A clothes hanger 3, which can be folded open and folded closed, is arranged on the retaining element 2. The clothes hanger 3 is shown folded open. The clothes hanger 3 has clips 31 which are designed for attaching an item of clothing.

[0039] FIG. 2a, 2b each show a perspective view of a further device according to the invention when retracted and when extended. FIG. 2a shows a perspective view of the device when retracted, while FIG. 2b shows a perspective view of the device when extended. The device shown in FIG. 2a, 2b corresponds to the device shown in FIG. 1a, 1b with the difference that the water tank 5 is not arranged on the housing 1, but rather is detachably arranged against the housing 1 in another of the housing openings (not shown) in such a way that the water tank 5, the hand steaming apparatus 7 and the housing 1 form the cylindrical body and the water tank 5 does not necessarily have to be cylindrical.

[0040] FIG. 3a-3d each show a plan view of the device shown in FIG. 2a, 2b when retracted, when partially extended and when fully extended. FIG. 3a shows a front view of the device when retracted, in which state the retaining element 2 is fully accommodated in the housing 1 and is therefore not visible in this view. FIG. 3b shows a front view of the device when partially extended, in which state the retaining element 2 partially protrudes from the housing 1 and the clothes hanger 3 is folded closed such that the clothes hanger surrounds part of the retaining element 2 in a cylindrical manner. FIG. 3c shows a front view of the device when further partially extended, in which state the retaining element 2 protrudes fully from the housing 1 and the clothes hanger 3 is folded closed. FIG. 3d shows a front view of the device when fully extended, in which state the retaining element 2 protrudes fully from the housing 1 and the clothes hanger 3 is folded open such that the clothes hanger has assumed a conventional clothes hanger shape.
