Description

The invention relates to a method for automatically ironing trousers in one operation by means of Steam and dry air.

The ironing of trousers in garment factories, in cleaning facilities for items of clothing or in Tailoring requires a lot of work. Damage such as scorching, melting and pressure points can occur also conscientious and experienced ironers. To simplify and speed up of the ironing process ironing presses are known in which a stationary lower plate and a associated, foldable top plate are provided. Furthermore, ironing presses are known in which the Press plates are arranged vertically and are pressed against a central bracket frame. Are there Upper plate and lower plate or the side pressure plates during the ironing process with steam loadable.

It is already known to initiate a suction process to hold a pair of pants and to use a blow bag Provide trousers and blow steam into the waistband area. In all of these known ironing processes it is disadvantageous that the two trouser legs clamped in their entire length and during the Ironing process can be left unchanged. This creates shiny spots, incorrectly inserted folds and causes similar bracket damage.

It is also known for ironing trousers in one operation by means of steam and dry air both creases on both trouser legs at the same time by a performed under clamping pressure To generate the steaming and drying process and at the same time to stretch and inflate the pants top and iron through a steaming and drying process.

The invention is based on the object of specifying a method which has the disadvantages of the known Avoids facilities and increases the quality of the ironing process and enables a higher operating speed of an associated ironing press. This task is essentially achieved in the method of the type explained at the beginning solved that the crease area of the pant legs during the duration of the steaming process is held under tension transversely to the longitudinal direction.

According to a further feature of the invention, it is particularly advantageous if the crease area After the steaming process, the trouser legs are tightened transversely to the longitudinal direction before the drying process will.

It is also particularly advantageous if, according to a development of the invention, the waistband during of the drying process is spread and held taut in a manner known per se to the Inflate and smooth the top of the trousers through to ensure the dry air.

In known horizontally arranged plate presses, one trouser leg is ironed after the other, while according to the method according to the invention, the creases on both trouser legs at the same time can be generated properly. In the case of vertically arranged press plates, this is simultaneous Ironing on both trouser legs is known per se, but with this ironing process the trouser top is used not excited. In that according to the invention the pant legs are stretched transversely to the longitudinal direction the transverse folds in the trouser legs are ironed out properly.

For ironing, trousers are placed in a ready-to-use ironing press in such a way that one trouser leg comes to rest smoothly on a lower, transversely expandable pressure plate. Then the pant leg by suction to the lower press plate

ίο sucked in. The second upper pant leg is on one

'' Intermediate plate that has been folded down in the meantime is placed and smoothed. Then the upper also cross-spreadable pressure plate is lowered onto the pants and presses them up to the waistband area.

The waistband is now tensioned by inserting a waistband tensioning device. Then the automatic process of ironing triggered, with superheated steam from bottom to top the pants is blown through by means of the press plates.

At the same time as the steam blow-through is switched off after a predetermined time, the blower is switched on for drying. After the the selected drying time, the fan is switched off and the upper press plate is removed from the lower Press plate swiveled away. The collar tensioning device is relaxed and extended out of the collar area. The trousers can now be ironed and removed from the platen press.

The inventive method allows a much higher piece output per ironing press and can also be carried out by semi-skilled or unskilled workers.
