ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE In a steam iron with a fill opening to an interior water tank above a heated soleplate with a steam generator and ports to direct steam through the soleplate, an improve- ment is provided for delivery of surge of steam by a generally slanted control/pump assembly from upper forward to lower rear and comprising a pump cylinder communicating through its top with the tank and through its bottom with the generator through a metering orifice. A piston slidable in the cylinder moves between an upper position against a valve seat at the cylinder top to seal the cylinder from the tank for dry ironing, through an intermediate position establishing fluid connection between the tank and generator for continuous steaming, and into a lower position interrupting the fluid connection and trapping fluid below the piston. A slidable control button on the forward iron handle moves and maintains the piston in a selected one of the above positions and the control is selectively operable to momentarily lower the piston to a bottom cylinder position to rapidly expel the trapped fluid into the generator for a surge of steam through the ports. The ports are preferably so oriented that the iron is operable as a steamer in the vertical position as well as a standard iron in the normal horizontal ironing position.
