Abstract

A method and device for pressing items of clothing-in particular, shirts, blouses and jackets-includes a pressing dummy with an inflatable bag. At least a region of the inflatable bag extends into the neck, collar, or lower hem regions of the clothing. At the end of such region is disposed an air diverter for drying adjacent surfaces of the clothing item. The air diverter is connected to the inflatable bag as far as air supply is concerned. Should the airflow be weak or non-existent, then the air diverter-at least partly-retracts into the piece of clothing. Should the airflow be active, however, then the air diverter extends and takes on the form of a mushroom head. In such a form, the air diverter is in the working position thereof and, thus, ventilates the adjacent region of the piece of clothing from the underside of the mushroom head.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zum Bügeln von Kleidungsstücken - insbesondere von Hemden, Blusen und Jacken - mittels einer Bügelpuppe gemäß den Oberbegriffen der Ansprüche 1, 7 und 8.The invention relates to a method and apparatus for ironing garments - In particular of shirts, blouses and jackets - by means of a manikin according to the preambles of claims 1, 7 and 8.

Aus dem Stand der Technik ist die Schrift DE 197 30 358 A1 bekannt. Dort wird eine Vorrichtung vorgeschlagen, bei der das Bügeln auf einer Bügelpuppe erfolgt. Das Kleidungsstück wird hierbei mit seinem unteren Saum auf eine ringförmige Halterung gespannt. Die Ärmel und der Schulter- und Kragenbereich werden mittels Stütz- und/oder Halteelementen fixiert. Durch einen inneren Trocknungsluftstrom wird das Kleidungsstück aufgebläht und damit getrocknet bzw. geglättet. Da Kragen und Manschetten eines Kleidungsstückes mindestens aus einer doppelten Stofflage bestehen, sind diese wegen eines höheren Feuchtigkeitsgehaltes schlechter zu trocknen. Deshalb sind in diesem Stand der Technik Luftumlenkelemente für die Manschetten und/oder für den Kragen vorgesehen. Diese Luftumlenkelemente nehmen einen Teilluftstrom aus dem Inneren des Kleidungsstückes und lenken diesen Luftstrom auf die Oberfläche des Kleidungsstückes. Dadurch werden Kragen und Manschetten nicht nur von innen her mit Wärmeenergie bzw. trockener Luft versorgt, sondern auch von außen mit dem Trocknungsmedium beaufschlagt. Die Zeitdauer des Trocknens für dickwandige Teile des Kleidungsstückes wird somit reduziert. Diese Luftumlenkelemente haben den Nachteil, daß sie beim Wechseln des Kleidungsstückes auf der Bügelpuppe, gegebenenfalls entfernt und wieder angebracht werden müssen und damit störend sind.From the prior art, the document DE 197 30 358 A1 is known. There is a device proposed, in which the ironing is done on a hanger doll. The piece of clothing is stretched here with his lower hem on an annular holder. The Sleeves and the shoulder and collar area by means of support and / or holding elements fixed. Through an inner drying air flow, the garment is inflated and thus dried or smoothed. There collar and cuffs of a garment at least consist of a double layer of fabric, these are because of a higher Moisture content worse to dry. Therefore, in this state of the art Air deflection provided for the sleeves and / or for the collar. These Air deflectors take a partial airflow from inside the garment and direct this airflow to the surface of the garment. This will be Collar and cuffs not only from the inside with heat energy or dry air supplied, but also acted upon from the outside with the drying medium. The duration drying of thick-walled parts of the garment is thus reduced. These Luftumlenkelemente have the disadvantage that they when changing the garment on the ironing manikin, if necessary removed and reapplied must and are annoying.

In der Schrift EP 0 193 483 A1 (Nachanmeldung zu FR 8500673) wird ein Verfahren und eine Bügelpuppe zum Bügeln von Kleidungsstücken beschrieben. Das Kleidungsstück wird hier zum Zwecke des Bügelns auf einen Blähsack dieser Bügelpuppe gezogen. Ein Luftstrom, der in das Innere des Blähsackes hinein bläst, durchbläst diesen und das Kleidungsstück, wobei dann das Kleidungsstück getrocknet und geglättet wird. Da der Blähsack auch in die Ärmel des Kleidungsstückes hineingreift, werden auch diese getrocknet. In einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist der Blähsack über die Manschetten (bzw. evtl. auch über den Kragen) des Kleidungsstückes hinaus verlängert. An diesen Verlängerungen sind außen - d.h. im Bereich der Manschetten - flexible Klappen angebracht. Vorzugsweise sind sie aus dem gleichen Material wie der Blähsack. Ist nun das Kleidungsstück auf der Bügelpuppe positioniert und der Luftstrom ist aktiviert, so werden der Blähsack und die Klappen gemeinsam und gleichzeitig von der Luft durchströmt. Durch den Luftstrom blähen sich dann der Blähsack und die Klappen auf. Der Blähsack legt sich dann von innen an das Kleidungsstück an. Die Klappen bestehen je Manschette oder Kragen - zumindest teilweise - aus zwei Zylinderhalbschalen, die mittels ihrer einen Stirnseite an den Blähsack beispielsweise angenäht sind. Durch diese geometrische Form können sich die Klappen nicht selbsttätig auf die Manschette legen. D.h., nach dem Anbringen des Kleidungsstückes auf der Bügelpuppe müssen diese Klappen manuell auf die Manschetten geklappt werden. Umgekehrt bedeutet dieses, daß beim Entfernen des Kleidungsstückes diese Klappen von der Manschette weggeklappt werden müssen. Bei insgesamt zwei Manschetten je Kleidungsstück und möglichen Klappen im Bereich des Kragens, müssen beim Wechseln des Kleidungsstückes eine Vielzahl von Handgriffen getätigt werden. Dieses ist sehr zeitaufwendig und daher unpraktisch.In the document EP 0 193 483 A1 (subsequent application to FR 8500673) is a method and a hanger for ironing garments described. The piece of clothing is pulled here for the purpose of ironing on an inflatable bag this ironing manikin. One Airflow blowing into the interior of the inflatable bag blows through it and the garment, then the garment is dried and smoothed. Because the inflatable bag even into the sleeves of the garment, they are also dried. In one embodiment of the invention, the inflatable bag over the cuffs (or possibly. extended beyond the collar) of the garment. At these extensions are outside - i. in the area of cuffs - flexible flaps attached. Preferably they are made of the same material as the inflatable bag. Is now the garment positioned on the ironing manikin and the airflow is activated, so are the inflatable bag and the flaps flowed through together and at the same time by the air. By the Air flow then inflate the inflatable bag and the flaps. The bullock lies down then from the inside to the garment. The flaps are each cuff or Collar - at least partially - made of two cylindrical half-shells, by means of one end face sewn to the inflatable bag, for example. Through this geometric shape the flaps can not lay themselves on the cuff automatically. That is, after mounting of the garment on the ironing manikin, these flaps must be manually on the Cuffs are folded. Conversely, this means that when removing the garment these flaps must be folded away from the cuff. At total two cuffs per garment and possible flaps in the area of the collar, When changing the garment a variety of handles must be made become. This is very time consuming and therefore impractical.

Es ist deshalb Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein Verfahren oder eine Vorrichtung (in Form einer Bügelpuppe) zu finden, die die beschriebenen Nachteile nicht mehr aufweisen oder zumindest reduzieren.It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a method or a device (in the form of a Ironing doll) find that no longer have the disadvantages described or at least to reduce.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe durch die Merkmale der kennzeichnenden Teile der Ansprüche 1, 7 und 8 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.According to the invention this object is achieved by the features of the characterizing parts of Claims 1, 7 and 8 solved. Advantageous embodiments and developments of the invention emerge from the dependent claims.

Erfindungsgemäß werden für das Trocknen und Glätten von Kragen und/oder Manschetten und/oder dem unteren Saum eines Kleidungsstückes eine Luftumlenkung verwendet, die im Gegensatz zu den beschriebenen Klappen aus dem Stand der Technik sehr flexibel gestaltet sind. Der Begriff Luftumlenkung steht hier nicht nur für den Vorgang des Luftumlenkens, sondern vorrangig für ein Bauteil. Durch eine Eigenspannung dieser Luftumlenkung und durch deren flexiblen Gestaltung kann sie in Abhängigkeit von der Stärke des Luftstromes in dem Blähsack, unterschiedliche Formen annehmen. Ist der Luftstrom aktiv - d.h. die Bügelpuppe trocknet ein Kleidungsstück - so stülpt sich (hier beim Beispiel Ärmel/Manschetten) diese Luftumlenkung aus dem Teilbereich des Blähsackes, der sich in dem Ärmel des Kleidungsstückes im Bereich der Manschette befindet, heraus. Diese Ausstülpungen (Luftumlenkungen) weisen luftdurchlässige Bereiche oder Düsen auf, so daß die hier austretende Luft, die Manschette an ihrer Oberfläche trocknen kann.According to the invention, for the drying and smoothing of collars and / or cuffs and / or the lower hem of a garment using an air deflector, the very flexible in contrast to the described flaps of the prior art are designed. The term air deflection here does not stand only for the process of Luftumlenkens, but primarily for a component. By a residual stress of this air deflection and by their flexible design, they can vary depending on the strength of the air flow in the inflatable bag, take different forms. Is the airflow active - i. The ironing doll dries a garment - so turns inside out (here in the example Sleeves / cuffs) this air deflection from the portion of the inflatable bag, which is in the sleeve of the garment in the area of the cuff, out. These Protrusions (air deflections) have air-permeable areas or nozzles, so that the air escaping here can dry the cuff on its surface.

Ist nun das Kleidungsstück fertig gebügelt, so wird der Luftstrom der Bügelpuppe zum leichteren Wechseln des Kleidungsstückes abgeschaltet oder zumindest reduziert. Durch die Eigenspannung der Luftumlenkung und weil die Druckkraft des Luftstromes nicht mehr vorhanden ist, stülpt sich die Luftumlenkung in ihrer Ausgangslage zurück. Zusätzlich können Federelemente vorgesehen sein, die die Luftumlenkung bei einem Nachlassen der Druckkraft des Luftstroms insbesondere in ihre Ausgangslage zurückziehen. Diese Federelemente können im Material der Bügelpuppe eingearbeitet sein, zum Beispiel durch Einweben von länglichen Federelementen oder Tränken mit einer nach dem Aushärten federnden Masse, oder durch das Material der Bügelpuppe selbst gebildet werden, das in Bezug auf Stärke und/oder Formgebung derart ausgeformt ist, dass sich ein rückfedernder Effekt ergibt. Dazu können auch die Bereiche der Luftumlenkung aus einem anderen Material als die Bügelpuppe sein, das Rückfedereigenschaften besitzt.Now that the garment is ironed finished, the air flow of the ironing manikin to easier to change the garment off or at least reduced. By the residual stress of the air deflection and because the pressure force of the air flow is no longer is present, the air deflection turns back in its original position. additionally spring elements may be provided which the air deflection in a decrease The pressure force of the air flow in particular retreat to its original position. These Spring elements may be incorporated in the material of the ironing manikin, for example by interweaving elongated spring elements or impregnators with one after curing resilient mass, or be formed by the material of the ironing manikin itself, which is formed in terms of strength and / or shape such that a spring-back Effect results. This can also be the areas of air deflection from a material other than the ironing manikin possessing springback characteristics.

Die Federelemente können in einem im wesentlichen zylindrischen Abschnitt der Bügelpuppe entweder längs in axialer Richtung angeordnet sein oder quer zum Umfang, um den Querschnitt des Luftumlenkungsbereichs zu verringern, wenn die Druckkraft des Luftstroms nachlässt.The spring elements may be in a substantially cylindrical portion of the ironing manikin either longitudinally in the axial direction or transversely to the circumference, to reduce the cross section of the air deflection area when the pressure force of the air flow subsides.

Die erfindungsgemäße Luftumlenkung kann grundsätzlich auf zwei verschiedene Weisen beschaffen sein. Zum einen kann die Luftumlenkung das Ende eines Teilbereiches des Blähsackes sein. Dieses ist vorteilhaft, weil dann der Blähsack und diese Luftumlenkung eine Einheit bilden und so in einem Herstellungsverfahren gemeinsam hergestellt werden kann. Dieses reduziert Herstellungskosten und ermöglicht dadurch eine kostengünstige Bügelpuppe.The air deflection according to the invention can basically be done in two different ways be designed. On the one hand, the air deflection can be the end of a partial area of the Be bloated. This is advantageous because then the inflatable bag and this air deflection form a unit and are thus produced together in a manufacturing process can. This reduces manufacturing costs and thereby enables a cost-effective Ironing dummy.

In manchen Anwendungsfällen kann es aber notwendig sein, wenn die Luftumlenkung ein separates Bauteil bildet, also nicht ein Teil des Blähsackes ist. Dieses kann dann gegeben sein, wenn beispielsweise die Bügelpuppe mit einem relativ steifen Blähsack ausgerüstet ist, welches beispielsweise bei einer Bügelpuppe für schwere Kleidungsstücke der Fall sein kann. In some applications, it may be necessary if the air deflection forms separate component, so is not part of the inflatable bag. This can then be given be if, for example, the ironing manikin equipped with a relatively rigid inflatable bag which, for example, in a trouser for heavy garments of Case can be.

Auch die Luftumlenkung kann unterschiedlich beschaffen sein. Durch ihre Materialeigenschaften ist sie mit einer Elastizität und einer Eigenspannung versehen. Durch diese Eigenspannung behält die Luftumlenkung ohne äußere Krafteinwirkung ihre Ausgangsform bei. Die Ausgangsform kann wie eine zum Korpus der Bügelpuppe gerichtete Einstülpung oder wie eine rosettenartige Faltung gestaltet sein. Die Luftumlenkung kann aber auch durch zusätzliche Spannelemente in ihrer Ruhelage gehalten werden. Als Spannelemente sind federnde Bauteile wie Gummizüge oder Spangen denkbar.The air deflection can be designed differently. Due to their material properties it is provided with an elasticity and a residual stress. By this residual stress the air deflection retains its original shape without external force at. The initial shape can like a directed to the body of the manikin invagination or designed as a rosette-like fold. But the air deflection can also be held by additional clamping elements in their rest position. As clamping elements are resilient components such as elastics or clips conceivable.

Wird nun der Blähsack mit einem Luftstrom beblasen, so wölbt sie die Luftumlenkung nach außen. Die Luftumlenkung tritt dann pilzförmig aus den Ärmeln oder dem Kragen oder unten aus dem unteren Ende des Blähsackes - im Bereich des unteren Saumes - hervor. Der "Pilzkopf" - um bei dem Vergleich zu bleiben - erhebt sich dann über die Oberfläche des Kleidungsstückes hinaus. Die Fläche des "Pilzkopfes", die dem Kleidungsstück zugewandt ist, ist luftdurchlässig gestaltet. Dieses kann entweder dadurch geschehen, daß die Luftumlenkung hier aus einem offenporigen Material besteht oder das in der dem Kleidungsstück zugewandten Fläche des "Pilzkopfes" Luftlöcher bzw. Düsen angeordnet sind. Der Teil des Pilzkopfes, der nicht dem Kleidungsstück zugewandt ist, beziehungsweise die Kappe des Pilzkopfes ist vorteilhafterweise luftundurchlässig ausgeführt, um ein Ausströmen von Luft an dieser Stelle zu verhindern. Die an dieser Stelle austretende Luft würde andernfalls ungenutzt entströmen und zu einem unnötigen Energieverlust führen.Now if the inflatable bag blown with a stream of air, so it bulges the air deflection outward. The air deflection then comes mushroom-shaped from the sleeves or the collar or down from the lower end of the inflatable sack - in the area of the lower hem - out. The "mushroom head" - to stay with the comparison - then rises above the surface of the garment. The area of the "mushroom head" that the garment facing, is designed to be permeable to air. This can either be done by that the air deflection here consists of an open-pore material or that in the Garment facing surface of the "mushroom head" air holes or nozzles arranged are. The part of the mushroom head that does not face the garment, respectively the cap of the mushroom head is advantageously made impermeable to a Prevent leakage of air at this point. The air exiting at this point would otherwise escape unused and lead to unnecessary energy loss.

Es soll der Vollständigkeit halber erwähnt werden, daß die vorliegende Erfindung aber auch beim Bügeln mittels einer Bügelpuppe angewendet werden kann, bei der der Blähsack luftundurchlässig gestaltet ist. Bei diesen Bügelpuppen erfolgt das Trocknen durch einen Luftstrom von außen auf das Kleidungsstück. Der Luftstrom im Innern des Blähsackes dient dann dort lediglich dem Spannen des Blähsackes und nicht zum Trocknen des Kleidungsstückes. Auch hier ist es wichtig, daß die Bereiche der Manschetten, des Kragens und evtl. des unteren Saumes, mit einem zusätzlichen Luftstrom aus der erfindungsgemäßen Luftumlenkung getrocknet werden.It is to be mentioned for completeness, that the present invention but can also be used when ironing by means of a ironing doll, in which the inflatable bag is designed to be impermeable to air. These ironing dolls are dried by an air flow from the outside onto the garment. The air flow inside the inflatable bag then serves there only to tension the inflatable bag and not to dry the Garment. Again, it is important that the areas of the cuffs, the collar and possibly the lower seam, with an additional air flow from the invention Air deflection to be dried.

Nachfolgend soll nun die Erfindung anhand der Figuren erläutert werden. Es zeigen:

Figur 1:
eine Bügelpuppe mit der erfindungsgemäßen Luftumlenkung im Bereich der Manschetten;
Figur 2:
einen vergrößerten Ausschnitt aus der Figur 1.
The invention will now be explained with reference to the figures. Show it:
FIG. 1:
a stirrup doll with the air deflection according to the invention in the region of the sleeves;
FIG. 2:
an enlarged detail of Figure 1.

Die Figur 1 zeigt in schematisch Weise eine Bügelpuppe 2. Die Bügelpuppe besteht im wesentlichen aus einem Sockel 4, dem darüber angeordneten Blähsack 3 und einem hier nicht dargestellten Erzeuger für eine Luftströmung 6. Der Lufterzeuger und die Heizung werden häufig in dem Sockel untergebracht. Zusätzlich kann auch noch eine Heizung vorhanden sein. Auf dem Blähsack 3 ist ein Kleidungsstück 1 angeordnet. Die Figur 1 zeigt die Bügelpuppe 2 im Betrieb, d.h. daß die Luftströmung 6 den Blähsack 3 - der hier luftdurchlässig gestaltet ist - und das Kleidungsstück 1 gleichzeitig durchbläst.FIG. 1 schematically shows an ironing doll 2. The ironing doll consists of essentially from a base 4, the inflatable bag 3 arranged above it and one here not shown generator for an air flow 6. The air generator and the heater are often housed in the socket. In addition, even a heater to be available. On the inflatable bag 3 a garment 1 is arranged. The figure 1 shows the ironing-2 in operation, i. that the air flow 6 the inflatable bag 3 - the here permeable to air - and blows the garment 1 at the same time.

Wenn die Luftströmung 6 aktiv ist, so stülpen sich erfindungsgemäße Luftumlenkungen 5 aus den Ärmeln des Kleidungsstückes 1 heraus. Der Begriff der Luftumlenkung 5 ist im Rahmen dieser Schrift als Bauteil und nicht nur als Funktion zu verstehen. Da die Luftumlenkungen 5 auf der dem Kleidungsstück 1 zugewandten Seite luftdurchlässig sind, kann dort eine Luftströmung 6 austreten, die Manschetten 8 auf der Oberfläche des Kleidungsstückes 1 trocknen und glätten kann.When the air flow 6 is active, air deflections 5 according to the invention are turned over out of the sleeves of garment 1. The concept of air deflection 5 is in Under this document as a component and not just as a function to understand. Because the air deflections 5 on the garment 1 side facing are permeable to air can there escape an air flow 6, the cuffs 8 on the surface of the garment 1 can dry and smooth.

Im Rahmen der Erfindung können die Luftumlenkungen 5 auch im Bereich eines Kragens 10 oder im Bereich des unteren Saumes 7 angeordnet sein.Within the scope of the invention, the air deflections 5 can also be in the region of a collar 10 or be arranged in the region of the lower seam 7.

Mit der Figur 2 wird in vergrößerter Form noch einmal eine Luftumlenkung 5 in Verbindung mit ihrer Anordnung am Ärmelende eines Kleidungsstückes 1 gezeigt. Die Luftströmung 6 im Innern des Blähsackes 3 durchstreift zunächst den Ärmel auf der Innenseite. Hierbei tritt - einen luftdurchlässigen Blähsack 3 vorausgesetzt - selbstverständlich auch gleich ein Teil der Luftströmung 6 direkt von Innern des Blähsackes 3 durch den Stoff des Kleidungsstückes 1 nach außen. Dieses gilt auch für die Manschette 8. Bei dem weiteren Fortschreiten der Luftströmung 6 aus dem Ärmel heraus, wird die Luftströmung 6 mittels der Luftumlenkung 5 in umgekehrter Richtung wieder über die Manschette hinweggeleitet. Dadurch wird die Manschette 8 auch von außen getrocknet und geglättet.With the figure 2 is again in an enlarged form an air deflection 5 in combination shown with their arrangement at the sleeve end of a garment 1. The air flow 6 in the interior of the inflatable bag 3 first roams the sleeve on the inside. This occurs - assuming an air-permeable inflatable bag 3 - of course, too a part of the air flow 6 directly from the inside of the inflatable bag 3 through the fabric of the Garment 1 to the outside. This also applies to the cuff 8. In the other Advancing the air flow 6 out of the sleeve, the air flow 6 by the air deflection 5 in the reverse direction again passed over the cuff. As a result, the sleeve 8 is also dried and smoothed from the outside.
