Abstract

A pressing appliance including a body having a handle and a steam emission head connected to the handle, the steam emission head having a treatment face configured to press against a garment to be pressed, the treatment face including at least one steam outlet orifice and one heatable surface configured to contact the garment, the appliance further including at least one accessory configured to be removably mounted on the steam emission head, wherein the accessory is configured to be mounted in at least two positions on the head and including a first treatment surface is exposed on the treatment face when the accessory is mounted in one of the at least two positions, and including a second treatment surface that is exposed on the treatment face when the accessory is mounted in another of the at least two positions.

Claims (16)

1. A pressing appliance comprising:

a body comprising a handle and a steam emission head connected to the handle, the steam emission head comprising a treatment face configured to press against a garment to be pressed, the treatment face comprising at least one steam outlet orifice and heatable surface configured to come into contact with the garment,

at least one accessory configured to be removably mounted on the steam emission head-,

wherein the at least one accessory is configured to be mounted in at least two orientations relative to the steam emission head and comprises a first treatment surface exposed on the treatment face when the accessory is mounted in one of the at least two orientations, and comprises a second treatment surface exposed on the treatment face when the accessory is mounted in another of the at least two orientations,

wherein the first treatment surface and the second treatment surface have different surface textures and/or materials.

2. The pressing appliance according to claim 1 , wherein the first treatment surface and the second treatment surface are arranged on two opposite faces of the at least one accessory, the at least one accessory configured to be mounted reversibly on the steam emission head.

3. The pressing appliance according to claim 1 , wherein the heatable surface is arranged at an end of a projecting protrusion and wherein the at least one accessory comprises a through-opening configured to engage around the protrusion.

4. The pressing appliance according to claim 3 , wherein the body further comprises a peripheral surface extending at a foot of the projecting protrusion and on which the first treatment surface or the second treatment surface is supported when the at least one accessory is mounted on the steam emission head.

5. The pressing appliance according to claim 4 , wherein the peripheral surface extends parallel to the heatable surface.

6. The pressing appliance according to claim 1 , wherein the heatable surface is in thermal contact with a heating body provided in the steam emission head.

7. The pressing appliance according to claim 6 , wherein the heating body encloses a vaporization chamber.

8. The pressing appliance according to claim 1 , wherein the heatable surface is metallic.

9. The pressing appliance according to claim 1 , wherein the first treatment surface or the second treatment surface extends substantially in a plane defined by the heatable surface when the at least one accessory is mounted on the steam emission head.

10. The pressing appliance according to claim 1 , further comprising an attachment device enabling the at least one accessory ( 7 ) to be retained on the steam emission head ( 3 ).

11. The pressing appliance according to claim 10 , wherein the attachment device comprises at least one magnet for retaining the at least one accessory on the treatment face.

12. The pressing appliance according to claim 11 , wherein the body comprises at least one magnet arranged behind a peripheral surface thereof.
