Abstract:
The present application relates to a steam iron ( 10 ) for ironing garments. The steam iron ( 10 ) comprises a steam generator ( 11 ), an ironing plate ( 13 ) and a thermal bridge arrangement ( 14 ). The steam generator ( 11 ) comprises a main body ( 11 A) and a heating element ( 12 ) to heat the main body ( 11  A). The thermal bridge arrangement ( 14 ) extends between the main body ( 11 A) and a thermal coupling area ( 15 ) of the ironing plate ( 13 ) to heat the ironing plate ( 13 ) by conduction of heat from the main body ( 11 A). The thermal bridge arrangement ( 14 ) comprises a first portion ( 16 ) extending in a first direction (A) away from the thermal coupling area ( 15 ) and a second portion ( 17 ) extending in a second direction (B) towards the thermal coupling area ( 15 ). This invention allows promoting steam generation operating in a high temperature for a better steam capability, while keeping a lower temperature of the ironing plate which prevents damaging garments during ironing.

Claim (Index 1):
A steam iron for ironing garments, the steam iron comprising:\n a steam generator comprising a main body and a heating element to heat the main body; an ironing plate; and, a thermal bridge arrangement extending between the main body and a thermal coupling area of the ironing plate to heat the ironing plate by conduction of heat from the main body, wherein the thermal bridge arrangement comprises a first portion extending in a first direction (A) away from the thermal coupling area and a second portion extending in a second direction (B) towards the thermal coupling area.
