First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A steam treatment appliance, comprising: a steam generation facility; a water tank for providing liquid for the steam generation facility; a first pump for pumping liquid out of the water tank and to the steam generation facility; an accommodating container; a second pump for pumping liquid out of the steam generation facility and to the accommodating container; a third pump for pumping liquid out of the accommodating container and into the water tank, and a shared first connecting piece fluidically connected to the water tank, with an input of the first pump and an output of the third pump being connected to the first connecting piece; a shared second connecting piece fluidically connected to the steam generation facility, with an output of the first pump and an input of the second pump being connected to the second connecting piece; and a shared third connecting piece fluidically connected to a port for the accommodating container, with an output of the second pump and an input of the third pump being connected to the third connecting piece. 2. The steam treatment appliance of claim 1 , wherein the first, second and third pumps are arranged in parallel adjacent to one another, and wherein the first, second and third connecting pieces are straight-line connecting pieces and arranged in an X-shape in relation to one another. 3. The steam treatment appliance of claim 1 , wherein the first, second and third connecting pieces are connected to one another mechanically. 4. The steam treatment appliance of claim 1 , further comprising a shared water collection dish, wherein the first, second and third pumps and/or the first, second and third connecting pieces are arranged in the water collection dish. 5. The steam treatment appliance of claim 4 , wherein the water collection dish includes a drain that leads into the water tank. 6. The steam treatment appliance of claim 4 , wherein the water collection dish is produced in one piece with the water tank. 7. The steam treatment appliance of claim 1 , wherein the steam treatment appliance is operable in a steam treatment operating mode in which the second pump and the third pump are deactivated, and a cleaning operating mode in which the first, second and third pumps are activated.
