A system iron comprising:
- a body including a steam generator for generating steam;
- an ironing plate, which is rotatably coupled to an upper portion of the body and which is provided with steam nozzles for spraying steam;
- a steam iron connected to the ironing plate so as to receive steam;
- a steam flow channel for allowing the steam, generated by the steam generator, to be supplied to the steam nozzles or the steam iron;
- and
- a flow channel valve for controlling the steam flow channel so as to supply the steam to one of the steam nozzles or to the steam iron, wherein:
- the ironing plate includes a spreading unit disposed at two lateral side surfaces of the ironing plate and configured to be spread in a lateral direction of the ironing plate for tensioning a garment hung on an outer side of the ironing plate, and
- the steam nozzles are disposed inside the spreading unit and configured to spray the steam toward the two lateral side surfaces of the ironing plate when the spreading unit is spread in the lateral direction.
A system iron comprising:
- a body including therein a steam generator for generating steam;
- an ironing plate, which is rotatably coupled to an upper portion of the body so as to be changed in position depending on whether the system iron is operated in an ironing mode, in which an ironing operation is performed, or in a steam-spraying mode, in which the steam is sprayed to a garment;
- a steam iron connected to the ironing plate so as to receive steam;
- a steam flow channel for allowing the steam, generated by the steam generator, to be supplied to the steam nozzles or the steam iron;
- and
- a flow channel valve for controlling the steam flow channel so as to supply the steam to one of the steam nozzles or the steam iron, wherein:
- the ironing plate includes a spreading unit disposed at two lateral side surfaces of the ironing plate and configured to be spread in a lateral direction of the ironing plate for tensioning a garment hung on an outer side of the ironing plate, and
- the steam nozzles are disposed inside the spreading unit and configured to spray the steam toward the two lateral side surfaces of the ironing plate when the spreading unit is spread in the lateral direction.
