Abstract

To smooth items of clothing, especially shirts, by an inflatable bag, the item of clothing, especially in a damp state, is placed on the inflatable bag, is pulled taut by the inflation of the bag, and is dried by heat. To this end, the inflatable bag is inflated with heated air, certain areas of the item of clothing drying faster than others however. To supply heat energy in a targeted manner to individual, especially slow-drying areas, the inflatable bag includes heating bodies either supplying additional heat for drying the item of clothing, or all of the heat. Advantageously, the heating bodies are applied to the material of inflatable bag.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einer Vorrichtung zum Glätten von Hemden, insbesondere zum Glätten der Enden der Hemdsärmel, bzw. der Manschetten, des Hemdkragens und der Knopfleisten.The invention relates to a device for smoothing shirts, in particular for smoothing the ends of the shirt sleeve, or the cuffs, the shirt collar and the button plackets.

Nach einem bekannten Verfahren werden Hemden geglättet in dem sie an verschiedenen stellen fixiert und mit insbesondere erwärmter Luft aufgeblasen und gespannt werden, wobei das Hemd an den fixierten Stellen zusätzlich auseinander gezogen werden kann.According to a known method shirts are smoothed in which they are fixed at various points and inflated with particular heated air and tensioned, the shirt can be pulled apart at the fixed points in addition.

In einem anderen Verfahren zum Glätten von Hemden wird ein aufblasbarer Blähsack verwendet, um den herum das Hemd angeordnet wird. In diesem Fall muss das Hemd nicht fixiert werden, da es von dem Blähsack gehalten wird. Die Manschetten werden in diesen Fällen von Ärmelabschnitten des Blähsacks geglättet. Bei Verwendung eines Blähsacks ist es bekannt, die Knopfleiste wie auch die Ärmel oder den Kragen des zuglättenden Hemdes zu fixieren, um es nicht zuknöpfen zu müssen, wie z.B. durch die US 3,165,244 bekannt ist. Die US 3,653,561 beschreibt eine Vorrichtung nur Entfernung von Feuchtigkeit aus Kleidung, wobei diese Vorrichtung mindestens eine elektrisch leitende Fläche aufweist.Another method of straightening shirts uses an inflatable inflatable bag around which the shirt is placed. In this case, the shirt does not need to be fixed because it is held by the inflatable bag. The cuffs are smoothed in these cases of sleeve sections of the inflatable bag. When using an inflatable bag, it is known to fix the button placket as well as the sleeves or the collar of the shirt to be smoothed, so as not to need to button it, such as e.g. by US 3,165,244 is known. US 3,653,561 describes a device only removal of moisture from clothing, said device having at least one electrically conductive surface.

In der US 3,048,310 wird eine Vorrichtung zum besser von Kleidung beschreiben, wobei diese Vorrichtung Speziell nur Endbehandlung von gereinigter Wasche vorgesehen ist.In US 3,048,310 a device for better clothing is described, this device being specifically designed only for final treatment of purified laundry.

Bei der Verwendung eines solchen Blähsacks besteht jedoch das Problem, dass die Oberfläche des Blähsacks zwar durch die einströmende erwärmte Luft gleichmäßig erwärmt wird, jedoch einzelne Stellen eines zuglättenden Hemdes, an denen dickeres Material oder das Material mehrlagig verwendet wird, wie z.B. die Manschetten. der Kragen oder die Knopfleiste, nicht hinreichend geglättet werden, da die erwärmte Luft nicht ausreichend Wärme an diesen Stellen erzeugen kann. Gleichermaßen würde jedoch ein stärkeres Erwärmen der zuzuführenden Luft oder ein längeres Behandeln des zuglättenden Hemdes unter anderem zu einer Überbelastung des Hemdes in den übrigen Bereichen führen.However, there is a problem in using such an inflatable bag in that the surface of the inflatable bag is uniformly heated by the inflowing heated air, but individual locations of a shirt to be flattened where thicker material or material is used in multiple layers, such as the cuffs. the collar or the button placket, are not sufficiently smoothed, since the heated air can not generate sufficient heat at these points. Equally, however, a greater heating of the air to be supplied or a longer treatment of the smoothing shirt would, inter alia, lead to an overload of the shirt in the other areas.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugründe, eine Vorrichtung zum Glatten von Hemden mit einem aufblasbaren hemdförmigen Blähsack zu schaffen, die Manschetten, Kragen oder Knopfleiste eines zu behandelnden Hemden besser glättet und dabei möglichst energiesparend arbeitet.The invention is therefore the task of creating a device for smoothing shirts with an inflatable shirt-shaped inflatable bag, the cuffs, collar or button band of a shirt to be treated better smoothes and works while saving energy as possible.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch eine Vorrichtung zum Glätten von Hemden gelöst, mit einem aufblasbaren hemdförmigen Blähsack, der teilweise oder durchgehend Heizkörper aufweist, wobei die Heizkörper Heizfäden sich, und wobei die Heizkörper in verschiedenen Bereichen mit unterschiedlichen Flächenleistungen heizen.This object is achieved by a device for smoothing shirts, with an inflatable shirt-shaped inflatable bag, which has partially or continuously radiator, wherein the radiator filaments, and wherein the radiator in different areas with different area performance heat.

Durch das Vorsehen von Heizkörpern im ganzen hemdförmigen Blähsack wird erreicht, dass eine Glättung des Hemdes auch bei geringerer oder keiner Erwärmung der in den Blähsack eingeführten Luft gewährleistet wird. Auf gleiche Weise kann die Dauer der Einführung erwärmter Luft in den Blähsack im Vergleich mit herkömmlichen Vorrichtungen verkürzt werden, da ausreichend Energie durch das Vorsehen der Heizkörper geschaffen wird, um so die Hemden zu glätten.By providing radiators throughout the shirt-shaped inflatable bag is achieved that a smoothing of the shirt is guaranteed even with less or no warming of imported into the inflatable air. In the same way, the duration of introduction of heated air into the inflatable bag can be shortened as compared with conventional devices, since sufficient energy is provided by providing the radiators so as to flatten the shirts.

Durch Vorsehen von Heizkörpern in bestimmten Regionen des Blähsackes wird erreicht, dass das Hemd in diesen Regionen, zusätzlich zu der durch die eingeführte, erwärmte Luft abgegebenen Energie, eine Energiezufuhr über die Heizkörper erfährt, und dadurch das Hemd hinreichend geglättet wird. In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform sind die Heizkörper in Form von aufgeklebten oder in den Stoff des Blähsackes eingewobenen Heizfäden realisiert. Die aufgeklebten Heizfäden können an der Innenseite des Blähsackes wie auch an der Außenseite des Blähsackes angebracht sein.By providing radiators in certain regions of the inflatable bag, it is achieved that the shirt in these regions, in addition to the energy released by the introduced, heated air, receives an energy input through the radiators and thereby sufficiently smoothes the shirt. In a preferred embodiment, the radiators are realized in the form of glued or woven into the fabric of the inflatable filaments. The glued filaments can be attached to the inside of the inflatable bag as well as on the outside of the inflatable bag.

Allgemein können unterschiedliche Flächenheizleistungen gemäß der Erfindung vorzugsweise durch unterschiedliche Ansteuerung verschiedener Heizeinrichtungen und/oder durch Vorsehen von Heizeinrichtungen mit unterschiedlichen Flächenleistungen beispielsweise durch mehr oder weniger dicht verlegte Heizfäden erreicht werden. Damit können die Bereiche gezielt stärker geheizt werden, in denen das Hemd langsamer trocknet. Weiterhin kann damit auch dem Schnitt bzw. der Art des Hemds Rechnung getragen werden, wenn dies beispielsweise Brusttaschen oder Applikationen oder zusätzliche Stoffschichten an bestimmten Stellen aufweist.In general, different surface heating powers according to the invention can preferably be achieved by different activation of different heating devices and / or by providing heating devices with different surface powers, for example by more or less closely laid heating filaments. In this way, the areas in which the shirt dries more slowly can be specifically heated. Furthermore, so that the cut or the type of shirt can be taken into account, if so For example, breast pockets or applications or additional layers of fabric has at certain points.

Die Beheizung des Blähsacks kann auch in Bezug auf alle Heizeinrichtungen regel- bzw. steuerbar sein, um unterschiedliche Materialien zu berücksichtigen, um z.B. bei Seide geringere Temperaturen einstellen zu können als bei Baumwolle.The heating of the inflatable bag may also be controllable with respect to all heaters to account for different materials, e.g. to be able to set lower temperatures for silk than for cotton.

Vorteilhafterweise werden Heizleiter verwendet, deren Widerstand sich bei steigenden Temperaturen und insbesondere ab einer bestimmten Temperatur stark erhöht, so dass eine Selbstregelung der Temperatur erreicht wird. Auf diese Weise können die Wärmeverluste in den schneller trockenen Bereichen begrenzt werden.Advantageously, heating conductors are used whose resistance increases sharply with increasing temperatures and in particular above a certain temperature, so that a self-regulation of the temperature is achieved. In this way, the heat losses in the faster dry areas can be limited.

Die Heizkörper können zu diesem Zwecke im Bereich des Kragenabschnitts, im Bereich der Hemdmanschetten an den Enden der zwei Ärmelabschnitte und/oder im Bereich der Knopf- und Knopflochleiste vorgesehen sein.The radiators may be provided for this purpose in the region of the collar portion, in the region of the shirt cuffs at the ends of the two sleeve portions and / or in the region of the button and buttonhole bar.

Die Energiequelle der Heizkörper befindet sich bevorzugter Weise im Sockel des Blähsacks, der auch als Standfuß für das Gerät dient. Der Sockel weist ferner ein Gebläse und eine Heizeinrichtung auf, um die erwärmter Luft in den Blähsack einführen zu können.The energy source of the radiator is preferably in the base of the inflatable bag, which also serves as a stand for the device. The base also has a fan and a heater to introduce the heated air in the inflatable can.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform sind die Bereiche, in denen die Heizfäden eingewoben bzw. aufgeklebt sind, luftdurchlässig. Auf diese Weise wird erreicht, dass das Hemd in unmittelbarer Nähe zum Kragenabschnitt sowohl durch die eingeführte, erwärmte Luft, als auch durch die von den Heizkörpern abgegebene Energie erwärmt und somit geglättet wird.In an advantageous embodiment, the areas in which the filaments are woven or glued, permeable to air. In this way it is achieved that the shirt is heated in the immediate vicinity of the collar portion both by the introduced, heated air, as well as by the energy emitted by the radiators energy and thus smoothed.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform sind den Heizkörpern Temperatursensoren und/oder Feuchtigkeitssensoren zugeordnet und die Temperatur der Heizkörper wird in Abhängigkeit der erfassten Temperatur und/oder Feuchtigkeit des zu glättenden Abschnitts des Hemdes eingestellt. Hierdurch ist es möglich, ein synchrone Trocknung aller Abschnitte des Hemdes zu bewerkstelligen, wobei eine Übertrocknung von dünnen bzw, einlagigen Abschnitten vermieden wird.In an advantageous embodiment, the radiators are assigned to temperature sensors and / or humidity sensors and the temperature of the radiator is dependent on the detected temperature and / or humidity of the to be smoothed Section of the shirt. This makes it possible to accomplish a synchronous drying of all sections of the shirt, whereby over-drying of thin or single-layer sections is avoided.
