Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Bügelmaschine mit einer Unterform, auf die Bügelgut von einer Bedienungsseite her aufzulegen ist, und mit einer auf die Unterform absenkbaren und von der Unterform abhebbaren Oberform (DE-B-1 256 615).The invention relates to an ironing machine with a lower mold on which items to be ironed are to be placed from an operating side, and with an upper mold that can be lowered onto the lower mold and lifted off the lower mold (DE-B-1 256 615).

Es ist bekannt, bei Bügelmaschinen dieser Art die Oberform von der Bedienungsseite her nach hinten oben hochzukippen, das Bügelgut auf die Unterform aufzulegen und dann die Oberform auf die Unterform zur Bedienungsseite hin auf die Unterform zu schwenken und auf die Unterform zu drücken. Bei hochgeklappter Oberform ist die Bedienungsperson Wärmestrahlung bis zur Kopfhöhe ausgesetzt. Beim Schwenken der Oberform auf die Unterform wird Schwung von der Oberform auf das Bügelgut übertragen und von dem Bügelgut abgefangen, wodurch hochempfindliches Bügelgut beschädigt werden kann.In ironing machines of this type, it is known to tip up the upper mold from the operating side toward the rear, to place the items to be ironed on the lower mold and then to pivot the upper mold onto the lower mold towards the operating side onto the lower mold and to press on the lower mold. When the upper shape is folded up, the operator is exposed to heat radiation up to head height. When the upper mold is pivoted onto the lower mold, momentum is transferred from the upper mold to the items to be ironed and intercepted by the items to be ironed, as a result of which highly sensitive items to be ironed can be damaged.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, bei großem Freiraum für die Bedienungsperson zum Auflegen und Abnehmen von Bügelgut die Bedienungsperson vor Wärmestrahlung insbesondere in Kopfhöhe zu bewahren und auch hochempfindliches Bügelgut ohne Beschädigung bügeln zu können.The object of the invention is to protect the operator from heat radiation, in particular at head height, and to be able to iron highly sensitive items to be ironed without damage, with a large free space for the operator to put on and take off items to be ironed.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist die Bügelmaschine gekennzeichnet durch eine Führung für die Oberform, mittels der die Oberform ohne wesentliche Änderung ihrer räumlichen Lage in einem ersten Hub aus einer Anfangsstellung schräg nach unten zur Bedienungsseite hin über die Unterform zu bewegen und dann im wesentlichen rechtwinklig auf die Unterform abzusenken ist und in einem zweiten Hub von der Unterform im wesentlichen rechtwinklig abzuheben und dann schräg nach oben von der Bedienungsseite fort in die Anfangsstellung zu bewegen ist.To solve this problem, the ironing machine is characterized by a guide for the upper mold, by means of which the upper mold can be moved in a first stroke obliquely downwards from the initial position to the operating side over the lower mold without substantial change in its spatial position and then essentially at right angles to the The lower mold is to be lowered and lifted from the lower mold essentially at right angles in a second stroke and then moved obliquely upwards from the operating side to the starting position.

Konstruktiv besonders einfach ausführbare und einfach steuerbare Ausbildungen sind in den Ansprüchen 2 und 3 angegeben.Structures that are particularly simple to implement and easy to control are specified in claims 2 and 3.

Die Erfindung wird im folgenden an einem Ausführungsbeispiel unter Hinweis auf die beigefügten Zeichnungen beschrieben.

Fig. 1
zeigt eine Bügelmaschine in Seitenansicht bei von der Unterform abgehobener und von der Bedienungsperson abgesetzter Oberform.
Fig. 2
zeigt die Bügelmaschine nach Fig. 1 bei zur Bedienungsperson bis über die Unterform abgesenkter Oberform.
Fig. 3
zeigt die Bügelmaschine nach Fig. 1 bei auf die Unterform gedrückter Oberform.
The invention is described below using an exemplary embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1
shows an ironing machine in side view with the upper mold lifted from the lower mold and set away from the operator.
Fig. 2
1 shows the ironing machine according to FIG. 1 with the upper mold lowered to the operator up to the lower mold.
Fig. 3
shows the ironing machine of FIG. 1 with the upper mold pressed onto the lower mold.

Die Bügelmaschine nach dem Ausführungsbeispiel weist ein Gestell 2 auf, nächst dessen Bedienungsseite 4 eine Unterform 6 abgestützt ist. Auf die Unterform 6 ist von der Bedienungsseite 4 her Bügelgut aufzulegen. Zum Bügeln dient eine auf die Unterform 6 absenkbare und von der Unterform 6 abhebbare Oberform 8.The ironing machine according to the exemplary embodiment has a frame 2, the lower side 6 of which is supported by a lower mold 6. Ironing material is to be placed on the lower mold 6 from the operating side 4. An upper mold 8, which can be lowered onto the lower mold 6 and raised from the lower mold 6, is used for ironing.

Die Oberform 8 ist mittels einer Führung 10 ohne wesentliche Änderung ihrer räumlichen Lage in einen ersten Hub aus einer Anfangsstellung (Fig. 1) schräg nach unten zur Bedienungsseite 4 hin über die Unterform 6 zu bewegen (Fig. 2) und dann im wesentlichen rechtwinklig auf die Unterform 6 abzusenken (Fig. 3). In einem zweiten Hub ist - umgekehrt - die Oberform 8 im wesentlichen rechtwinklig von der Unterform 6 abzuheben und dann schräg nach oben von der Bedienungsseite 4 fort in die Anfangsstellung (Fig. 1) zu bewegen.The upper mold 8 can be moved by means of a guide 10 without a substantial change in its spatial position in a first stroke from an initial position (FIG. 1) downwards to the operating side 4 over the lower mold 6 (FIG. 2) and then essentially at a right angle lower the lower mold 6 (Fig. 3). In a second stroke - in reverse - the upper mold 8 is lifted off essentially at a right angle from the lower mold 6 and then moved obliquely upwards from the operating side 4 into the starting position (FIG. 1).

Das Auflegen des Bügelguts erfolgt im Zustand der Fig. 1. Ersichtlich ist der Freiraum für die Bedienungsperson hierfür groß. Die Oberform 8 strahlt dabei Wärme nach unten ab, also nicht zur Bedienungsperson. Das Absenken der Oberform auf die Unterform aus dem Zustand der Fig. 2 kann gesteuert derart erfolgen, daß das Bügelgut nicht geschädigt wird. Ein Schwungmoment tritt dabei nicht auf.The items to be ironed are put on in the state shown in FIG. 1. Obviously, there is a large amount of space for the operator to do this. The upper mold 8 radiates heat downwards, ie not to the operator. The lowering of the upper mold to the lower mold from the state in FIG. 2 can be controlled in such a way that the items to be ironed are not damaged. There is no momentum.

Zur Schrägführung der Oberform 8 sind schräg an einer Trageinrichtung 12 der Oberform 8 Arme 14 angesetzt, die in einer Konsole 16 auf dem Gestell in ihrer Längsrichtung verschiebbar geführt sind. Die Verschiebung erfolgt mittels Kolben-Zylinder-Aggregaten 15, die an der Konsole 16 und an den Armen 14 abgestützt sind. Zur Vertikalführung ist die Trageinrichtung 12 mit der Oberform 8 durch im wesentlichen vertikale Kolbenstangen 18 verbunden, die in ihrer Längsrichtung relativ zur Trageinrichtung 12 mittels in der Trageinrichtung 12 befindlichen Kolben-Zylinder-Aggregaten 20 verschiebbar sind.For inclined guidance of the upper mold 8, arms 14 are attached obliquely to a support device 12 of the upper mold 8 and are guided in a bracket 16 on the frame so as to be displaceable in their longitudinal direction. The displacement takes place by means of piston-cylinder units 15, which are supported on the bracket 16 and on the arms 14. For vertical guidance, the support device 12 is connected to the upper mold 8 by essentially vertical piston rods 18, which are displaceable in their longitudinal direction relative to the support device 12 by means of piston-cylinder units 20 located in the support device 12.
