It is fitted with a ventilator (3) that is linked to a chamber located under the board (1), and fitted so that the ventilator can run in one direction of rotation or another in order to generating negative or positive pressure in the chamber. The steam iron (4), supplied by a flexible cable (5), is equipped with a control that regulates the steam and the operation of the ventilator.
Claims4
Domestic ironing equipment comprising an ironing board, underneath whose perforated upper surface there is a chamber connected to means of generating negative and positive pressure, and including a steam iron equipped with a steam control, characterised by the fact that the means of generating negative and positive pressure comprises one simple axial flow ventilator and arrangements for selecting the direction of rotation and controlling the ventilator in order to generate positive and negative pressure, the means of controlling the ventilator comprising an electronic circuit that controls the ventilator's power supply, the electronic circuit being controlled by the steam control, the electronic circuit that controls the ventilator being arranged in such a way that the ventilator rotates in the direction required to produce a negative pressure if the user exerts a manual pressure for more than a pre-defined period t.sub.0, if the manual pressure is exerted for less than the pre-defined period t.sub.0, the ventilator rotates in the direction that produces positive pressure.
