Abstract
Appliance for the treatment of fabric articles comprising a water tank, a steam generator for diffusing steam in the direction of the fabric article and a water supply circuit of the steam generator comprising an electric pump, characterized in that said supply circuit comprises a flexible tube (12) and a device (13) for adjusting the flow of water sent to the steam generator comprising means (133) for compressing the flexible tube (12) so as to modify its cross-section of flow.
Claims17
1) Appliance for the treatment of fabric articles comprising a water tank (2), a steam generator (5) for diffusing steam in the direction of the fabric article, and a water supply circuit of the steam generator (5) comprising an electric pump (3), said supply circuit comprising a flexible tube (12) and a device (13) for adjusting the flow of water sent to the steam generator comprising means (133) for compressing the flexible tube (12) so as to modify its cross-section of flow, characterized in that the device (13) for adjusting the flow comprises several filaments (15) of small cross-section extending inside the flexible tube (12) at the height of the means (133) for compressing the tube (12).
8) Device (13) for controlling the flow of liquid passing through a flexible tube (12) wherein means (133) locally compress the flexible tube (12) so as to reduce its cross-section of flow, characterized in that said device (13) comprises several filaments (15) of small cross-section extending inside the flexible tube (12) at the height of the means (133) for compressing the tube (12).
