Abstract

See full text

A soleplate for a steam iron includes steam openings spaced a predetermined minimum distance from its perimeter to avoid lost steam from escaping. In a preferred embodiment, the steam openings include at least one longitudinal slot centrally aligned between lateral edges of the soleplate surface. The maximum width of the slot is limited so as to avoid permitting an edge of fabric from entering. The slotted shape of the steam opening reduces lint cutting and helps avoid stain spots. Other shapes of steam openings are disclosed.
