Hand held flow-through steam system

A steamer, comprising:

• a) a housing having a first end, a second opposite end, a first pathway extending through the first end of the housing and the second opposite end of the housing and configured for receiving an item for steaming through both the first end of the housing and the second opposite end of the housing and an opening for injecting steam into an interior of said housing;
• b) a core having a first end and a second opposite end and a plurality of holes for receiving said steam into an interior of said core, said core being positioned in said interior of said housing, wherein said holes are oriented at an angle relative to a longitudinal axis of said core, wherein said first pathway extends through said first end of said core and said second opposite end of said core, and wherein said core is configured for receiving said item for steaming through both said first end of said core and said second opposite end of said core;
• c) spacers centering said core within said interior of said housing, thereby forming a chamber in said interior of said housing around an exterior of said core, wherein said first pathway extends through said spacers;
• d) a cap at said first end of said housing and a cap at said second opposite end of said housing, one of said spacers being reversibly attached to said cap at said first end of said housing and another of said spacers being reversibly attached to said cap at said second opposite end of said housing, wherein said first pathway extends through said cap at said first end of said housing and said cap at said second opposite end of said housing;
• and
• e) said one of said spacers fitting reversibly over said first end of said core and said another of said spacers fitting reversibly over said second opposite end of said core,
• f) wherein, when the steamer is fully assembled and in use, said housing, said first pathway, said cap at said first end of said housing, said cap at said second opposite end of said housing and said core are configured for allowing said steam to exit the steamer along said first pathway and simultaneously out through said first end of said housing, said second opposite end of said housing, said cap at said first end of said housing, said cap at said second opposite end of said housing, said first end of said core and said second opposite end of said core and allowing said item for steaming to travel along said first pathway and through said first end of said housing, said second opposite end of said housing, said first end of said core and said second opposite end of said core.

A steamer comprising:

• an elongate housing including a housing sidewall, a first end defining a first housing opening, a second opposite end defining a second housing opening, and a steam injection opening extending through the housing sidewall,
• an elongate core positioned in the housing, the core including a core sidewall defining a first pathway having a longitudinal axis, a plurality of holes through the core sidewall, a first end defining a first core opening, and a second opposite end defining a second core opening, wherein the longitudinal axis extends through the first housing opening, the second housing opening, the first core opening and the second core opening,
• a chamber defined between the housing sidewall and the core sidewall, the chamber having a first end and a second opposite end,
• a first spacer extending to and between the first end of the housing and the first end of the core, the first spacer encircling the core and defining the first end of the chamber, and
• a second spacer extending to and between the second opposite end of the housing and the second opposite end of the core, the second spacer encircling the core and defining the second opposite end of the chamber,
• wherein, when the steamer is fully assembled and in use steaming an item, the first pathway extends through the first housing opening, the second housing opening, the first core opening and the second core opening.

A steamer comprising,

• an elongate body terminating at each end thereof in an opening through which steam and an item for steaming can pass, the body including,
• a first tube that is open at each end thereof,
• a second tube concentrically arranged around the first tube,
• a pathway extending along a longitudinal axis defined by the first tube,
• a chamber defined between the first tube and the second tube and closed at each end thereof,
• a steam injection opening extending through the second tube and into the chamber,
• a plurality of openings extending through a sidewall of the first tube which fluidly couple the chamber to the pathway,
• wherein, when the steamer is fully assembled for steaming the item, the pathway extends uninterrupted through each open end of the first tube and out of the steamer through each end of the body.
