CRADLE FOR DOCKING AN IRON HEAD AND STEAMING DEVICE COMPRISING THE CRADLE

The invention relates to a cradle (100) for docking an iron head, which iron head has a soleplate for treating garments. The cradle comprises a resting platform (102) for supporting the soleplate thereon. The resting platform comprises a rear end (104) and a front end (106). The cradle includes a back support member (112) for a rear surface of the iron head to rest thereagainst. The back support member projects from the rear end of the resting platform. A first lateral support member (114) projects from a left side of the resting platform, and a second lateral support member (116) projects from a right side of the resting platform. An upper part of the first lateral support member and an upper part of the second lateral support member extend towards each other to define, together with the back support member, a confined rear region (118) of the cradle for accommodating a rear part of the iron head. At least one rear protruding portion (120, 122) protrudes from the resting platform into the confined rear region, and at least one front protruding portion (124) protrudes from the resting platform proximal to the front end. The at least one rear protruding portion protrudes further in height from the resting platform than the at least one front protruding portion.
