(ores-s) I 1 Claim.
This invention relates to garment spottingapparatus of the general type shown in the patent application of Don O. Goodwin, Serial Number 549,383, filed August 14, 1944, and has for its object a spotting head or table on which all the spotting operations can be performed, such as removing light or easily removable spots on the perforated brush section of the board or table and removing hard spots after they are treated or softened with chemicals and scrubbing brushes on an imperforate portion of the table.
The invention also has for its object control for the steam to the steam gun of the apparatus and of vacuum in the internal chamber of the steam board or table including a single operating member operable to activate both the flow of steam to the gun and the creation of the vacuum substantially simultaneously.
The invention consists in the novel features and in the combination and constructions hereinafter set forth and claimed.
In describing this invention, reference is had to the accompanying drawings in which like characters designate corresponding parts in all the views.
Figure l is a plan view of the spotting board or table.
Figure 2 is a longitudinal, sectional view on the plane of line 2-2, Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a fragmentary sectional view on the plane of line 33, Figure 1 showing one form of suction creating means.
Figure 4 is a view similar to Figure 3 of another suction control means.
Figure 5 is a detail view of the operating member for the flow of steam to the steam gun and controlling the vacuum in the form shown in Figure 4.
I Figure 6 is an elevation of a machine and the control for the vacuum and the steam gun shown in Figures 1 and 2.
The numeral l designates the steam table or board, this being elongated and somewhat tapered from one end toward the other, and being formed with an internal chamber 2 extending the greater part of its length. The table is supported on a column 3 which in turn is supported upon a base 4. The work top surface of the body of the table I is in three portions or sections, an intermediate imperforate section 5 on which hard spots are treated preliminary to removin and a tray section B for holding chemicals, brushes, etc., used for treating hard spots when the garment is on the intermediate portion or section, and an end section 1 which is provided with or covered by 2 7 brush 8 having upstanding bristles, the base of the brush being perforated and the perforations opening into the vacuum chamber 2. The ends of the bristles are substantially flush with the top surface of the intermediate portion of the table. The perforated portion of the work surface of the table I is of substantially the same general construction as shown in said application of Don O. Goodwin.
The numeral 9 designates a steam gun which is connected to a source ofsupply through a flexible hose Ill. The numeral ll designates a steam supply pipe having a joint or fitting l2, one portion of which is connected to the hose l0 and the other portion of which communicates with an injector nozzle l3 located in a Venturi injector or suction chamber M, which is connected through a pipe [5 to the vacuum chamber 2 in the head I. The steam gun is also provided with a suitable handle. The injector chamber l4 discharges through a pipe H.
The numeral l8 designates a control valve in the steam pipe II, this being operated by a pedal 20 connected to the movable valve member to open and close the valve IS. The pedal 20 is shown as mounted on a rock shaft 2| in the base 4 and connected to an operating lever 22 for the valve l8 by a link 23 which is also connected to a rock arm 24 on the rock shaft 2|. When the pedal is depressed, and hence the valve l8 opened, steam will pass to the injector nozzle 13 and to the steam gun, so that the vacuum starts immediately, and is active when the gun is moved over the article on the brush 8. Thus both the activation of the vacuum and the projection of steam is controlled by a single operating member or pedal and on the same operation thereof.
In Figure 4, the vacuum instead of being created by an injector in the steam system may be created in a central vacuum system or a blower connected to the vacuum chamber by a pipe 25, as in the application referred to of Don O. Goodwin. In this case, the vacuum is controlled by a normally-closed, spring-pressed valve 26 located in a suction chamber 21 connected to the vacuum chamber in the head I. The steam valve for the steam gun is the same as shown in Figure 6 and the steam valve and the valve 26 are operated by a single operating member or pedal 200 corresponding to the pedal 20, this being shown as mounted on a rock shaft 2H3 in the base of the machine and having two lever arm extending in opposite directions therefrom, one being connected by a link 28 to the vacuum valve 26 to operate it and the other 230 corresponding to the link 23 (Figure 6) being connected to the steam valve to open the steamevalve at the same time that the vacuum valve opens,
By this machine, the operator can quickly treat or soften the hard spots on the intermediate section of the board With chemicals and brushes normally held on the tray section of the board, and remove the easy to remove spots or the softened being fiat and imperforate, a brush forminga cover for the remaining portion of the chamber, the brush having a perforated backing and upstanding bristles, the ends of which are exposed hard spots, on the left hand section of the board;
by shifting the article over onto the left hand end of the board, and then depressing the pedal" 20. Depression of the pedal causes the steam to flow to the steam gun and at the same timecauses the vacuum to become efifective either th u h a steam injector or through a control valve.
What we claim is:
A garment finishing boardicomprising an elon T gated body formed with an internal vacuum chamber extending lengthwise thereof and a top plate for a portion ofsaid chamber, the top plate Glover u; Nov. 28, 1944
