Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for straightening garments.
  • cuffs are usually provided at the sleeve ends of garments. These cuffs are usually buttoned and have a slot above the cuff (ie towards the body portion). Since the inflatable body inflates during the smoothing process, he presses on this slot and opens it. This leads to wrinkling, which worsens the smoothing result.
  • an apparatus for smoothing garments which has an inflatable inflatable body with a flexible shell and the shell has at least one stiffener, which is connected exclusively to the shell of the inflatable body.
  • the bracing is in the in the DE 100 64 321 A1 described apparatus connected over its entire length with the shell of the inflatable body.
  • the stiffener may be incorporated into the material of the shell of the inflatable body or be achieved by attaching the two ends of a stiffening member to the inflatable body.
  • the position of the stiffener is fixed on the sleeve portion of the inflatable body.
  • the sleeve slot is not always at the same position on the circumference of the sleeve.
  • the slot may lie in positions between the sleeve closing seam and the sleeve center, ie on the circumference opposite the sleeve closing seam.
  • the shirt at the sleeve edge usually attached to the sleeve opening on the inflatable body. Due to the different positions of the slot on the shirt sleeve, when using a prior art device, the stiffener, whose position is fixed on the sleeve portion, is not always aligned with the slot, so that warping may occur.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a device for straightening garments, in particular shirts, which can accommodate different positions of cuff slits and yet which is easy to use.
  • the garment to be smoothed should be quickly and reliably pulled up in the correct position on the inflatable body of the device.
  • the invention is based on the finding that this object can be ideally achieved if a flexible connection is created between the stiffening part and the sleeve portion of the inflatable body, which allows a certain inclination or pivoting of the stiffener to the longitudinal direction of the sleeve portion of the inflatable body.
  • the elongated stiffener is a separate device part provided to prevent the opening of a cuff slit during the flattening process.
  • This device part is therefore also referred to as a slotted spoon or cuff smoother.
  • It can be formed by a plastic or metal part, which is preferably provided with openings to the fabric layers of the sleeve slot air through the Bläh stresses exits, to be able to perform drying.
  • the length of the connection or connection length is the effective length of the connection between the stiffening part and the inflatable body. This effective length can be realized by a continuous connecting line, eg an adhesive line, or by connecting points which are distributed over the length.
  • the connection length is preferably in the longitudinal direction of the stiffening part and the sleeve portion.
  • connection length is smaller than the total length of the stiffening part, tilting of the stiffening part with respect to the longitudinal direction of the sleeve portion is made possible to some extent.
  • This flexible connection supported by the flexibility of the material of the inflatable body, thus aligning the stiffening part with the cuff slit is made possible.
  • connection length between the stiffening part and the inflatable body preferably begins in the region of the longitudinal end of the stiffening part and in the region of the longitudinal end of the sleeve section, which faces away from the body section of the inflatable body.
  • the longitudinal end of the stiffening part, in the area of which the connection length begins, is the end of the stiffening part which, in the connected state, faces away from the body section.
  • the opposite end of the stiffener is referred to as the free end.
  • the edge of the shirt sleeve is usually connected in the region of the longitudinal end of the sleeve section via the stiffening member with the inflatable body. At this point, therefore, a relative movement between the sleeve portion and the stiffening member is not necessary or not desired. At the free end of the stiffener, however, the greatest displacement can be achieved with respect to the sleeve portion and thus the stiffening member can be easily aligned with the sleeve slot.
  • connection length is preferably dimensioned such that the free end of the stiffening member does not move away from the sleeve portion even under the action of gravity.
  • a very simple clamping of the garment can be ensured on the inflatable body. Namely, the sleeve portion may be dropped into the sleeve of the garment due to the weight it has through the stiffener. Since the stiffening part by the Connection length is also held at the free end close to the outside of the sleeve portion, falling out of the free end of the stiffening member of the sleeve of the garment, ie a folding of the stiffening member is avoided. Such a folding over would occur if, for example, the stiffening part were fastened only at one point at the end of the sleeve section or the connection length was chosen too small.
  • connection length can also be formed by a continuous connection, such as an adhesive seam
  • connection length is preferably defined by two connection points. These are arranged at the longitudinal ends of the connection length. About the lying between these connection points area there is no direct connection of the stiffening part with the inflatable body. As a result, the flexibility of the connection is further increased and a twisting or tilting of the stiffening part with respect to the sleeve section is simplified.
  • the stiffening part has a fastening device for fixing a part of the sleeve edge of the garment.
  • This embodiment has the advantage that the relative position of the sleeve to the stiffening member is fixed in one place. This simplifies alignment of the stiffener with the cuff slot.
  • the fastening device may be for example a clamp on the stiffening part.
  • the first connection point is located at the end of the sleeve portion and a second connection point is located in the sleeve portion of the sleeve portion.
  • the region of the sleeve represents the section of the sleeve section, against which, in the inflated state of the inflatable body, the cuff of the garment rests against the inflatable body. This area can be formed, for example, by a section of highly air-permeable material.
  • the stiffening part is designed such that it has an angled region at the end which is to be connected to the end of the sleeve section.
  • the connection line extends from the first connection point, which is located at the angled region over the angled region to the second connection point, which is located between the angled region and the free end.
  • the connection length has a curvature.
  • connection between the stiffening part and the inflatable body is preferably detachable.
  • this releasable connection is realized via push buttons at the connection points which define the connection length.
  • the push buttons can be attached directly to the shell of the inflatable body and on the stiffening part.
  • the push button which is provided at the end of the sleeve portion, are used simultaneously for closing the sleeve portion by the part of the push button, which is to be attached to the inflatable body, is punched by the folded at the sleeve end portion material of the inflatable body.
  • connection length by a band, which is fastened at its ends to the inflatable body and carries connecting means for connecting to the stiffening part.
  • the connecting means can advantageously represent push buttons.
  • This embodiment has a considerable advantage, in particular when using metal snaps.
  • the band which is formed from a material, and thus the push buttons, which can form the connection points, separated from the inflatable body or the push buttons are covered by the tape.
  • the push buttons are not heated when introducing hot air or hot steam into the inflatable body. The risk of injury to the user is thereby reduced.
  • the stiffening part can be easily removed from the inflatable body. This is for example for the cleaning of the inflatable body advantage.
  • the Stiffening member has a rigidity or hardness, which must withstand the pressure of the inflatable body during clamping. Therefore, when washing the inflatable body damage to the material of the inflatable body may occur when the stiffening member is firmly connected to the inflatable body, that can not be removed.
  • FIG. 1 an embodiment of a device 10 according to the invention for smoothing shirt-shaped garments is shown schematically.
  • This device comprises a swelling body 1 with a body section 12 and two sleeve sections 11.
  • the sleeve sections 11 are connected to the body section 12 via sleeve openings 13.
  • the inflatable body 1 can be supplied indirectly or directly with air and / or steam, for example, from below via the body portion 12.
  • the introduction of the air or the steam causes inflation of the inflatable body 1 closed at the sleeve section end 14 and thus smoothing of a garment to be tensioned on the sleeve section end 14, eg. B. shirts.
  • the inflatable body 1 consists in the illustrated embodiment substantially of a flexible, partially air-permeable material.
  • a stiffening part in the form of a slot spoon 2 is provided in each case.
  • the slotted spoons 2 are arranged on the sleeve sections 11 so that they are in the opened state of the inflatable body 1, the in FIG. 1 is shown, abut on the outside of the material of the sleeve sections 11.
  • the attachment of the slotted spoon 2 to the respective sleeve sections 11 takes place in the in FIGS. 1 and 2
  • the first push button 3 is mounted in the region of the end 14 of the sleeve portion 11 and the second push button 4 is provided in the region of the sleeve portion 11, which abuts the garment cuff when the garment is stretched.
  • a cut portion 111 can be processed in the sleeve portion 11 having a high air permeability to ensure drying and smoothing of the cuff.
  • connection length L is formed, which is low compared to the total length of the slot spoon 2.
  • the connection length L starts at the sleeve portion 11 at the end 14 and at the slot spoon 2 at the end 21 thereof facing the end 14 of the sleeve portion 11.
  • the end 14 of the sleeve portion 11 may be closed by sewing the end by means of a longitudinal seam along the end 14.
  • a fastening device 23 is provided on the slot spoon 2. This is on the side of the slot spoon 2, which is opposite to the side on which the push buttons 3, 4 are provided, attached.
  • the fastening device 23 is indicated only schematically and can for example a Be a clamp or a button.
  • a part of the edge of the shirt sleeve (not shown), which is clamped on the inflatable body 1, are connected to the slot spoon 2 and thus with the inflatable body 1.
  • the fastening device 23 engages the cuff in the region of the cuff opening. From there extends in the longitudinal direction of the sleeve of the shirt of the sleeve slot whose opening is to be prevented by the slotted spoon 2. If the sleeve is connected to the fastening device 23, the slot spoon 2 is automatically in a position in which it is aligned with the sleeve slot.
  • the slotted spoon 2 Even when clamping the inflatable body by introducing air or steam, the slotted spoon 2 remains in the position behind the sleeve slot. This maintaining of the position is made possible by the invention loose connection of the slot spoon 2 with the sleeve portion 11, through which the free end 22 of the slot spoon 2 can rotate or tilt by a certain amount relative to the sleeve portion 11.
  • the sleeve portion 11 runs at the end 14 punctiform together.
  • This shape can be achieved by suitable cutting of the last section of the sleeve portion 11.
  • the end 14 of the sleeve portion 11 may be contracted or folded together. This contracted, or folded, area can then be fixed by a seam, a rivet or a knob.
  • the first push button 3 is provided and the second push button 4 is again provided in the area of the collar 111.
  • a slotted spoon 2 is used, which has an angled end 21, to which the first connection point 3 is provided.
  • connection length L between the sleeve portion 11 and the slotted spoon 2 is formed by a cloth tape 5 abutting in the stretched shape of the sleeve portion 11 thereon.
  • the push buttons 3, 4 are in the vicinity of the ends 51, 52 of the band 5 attached.
  • the connection length L extends here between the both ends 51, 52 of the band, where it is sewn to the inflatable body 1.
  • the push buttons 3 and 4 do not come in this embodiment with the inside of the inflatable body in contact.
  • this separation from the inside of the inflatable body is advantageous because it can prevent transmission of heat that can be introduced into the inflatable body from heated air to the push buttons. This avoids overheating of the push buttons.
  • connection length can also be formed, for example, by three or more connection points lying thereon, the length being defined by the two connection points which have the greatest distance from each other.
  • the dimension of the connection length is preferably reduced to a minimum.
  • the length should have such a dimension that a folding down of the stiffening part is avoided by the sleeve portion.
  • the fastening device for the end of the shirt sleeve is arranged on the stiffening part in the region of the connection length, as a result of which the length of the stiffening part, which is flexibly movable, lies in the region between the cuff and the end of the cuff slot in which the flexibility is required.
  • the shape of the stiffening part is according to the invention elongated.
  • the width of the stiffening part is adjusted so that it covers at least the width of a sleeve slot.
  • the length of the stiffening member is chosen so that it extends in a clamped garment to a position above the sleeve slot in the direction of the body portion.
  • the stiffening member which serves for cuff smoothing, is held so variable by the connection according to the invention with the sleeve portion that it adapts to each position of the cuff slit.
  • the second connection point the spaced apart from the end of the sleeve portion is positioned so that the stiffener hangs in equilibrium with the strap doll sleeve and does not strike down. A faulty positioning of the stiffening member by the user is thereby excluded.
  • the user does not have to worry about the position of the cuff slit on the shirt. The user can simply clamp the cuff and the loose connection will not buckle at any of the slot positions.
