Der innere Blähkörper kann mit dem äußeren Blähkörper punktuell oder entlang einer Linie lösbar verbunden sein.[002] DE 100 62 672 shows a device for smoothing and drying clothes, in particular shirts, with an inflatable outer inflatable body and an inflatable inner blowing body located therein. The inner inflatable body can be connected to the outer inflatable body selectively or detachably along a line.
[003] Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine gattungsgemäße Vorrichtung zum Glätten- und/oder Trocknen von Kleidungsstücken, insbesondere Hemden zur Verfügung zu stellen, die einfach in der Benutzung und der Handhabung ist.The object of the present invention is to provide a generic device for smoothing and / or drying clothes, in particular shirts, which is easy to use and handle.
[004] Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruches 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.This object is solved by the features of claim 1. Advantageous refinements and developments of the invention result from the subclaims.
[005] Eine Vorrichtung zum Glätten- und/oder Trocknen von Kleidungsstücken, insbesondere von Hemden ist versehen mit einem aufblasbaren, äußeren Blähkörper, der einen äußeren Rumpf und einem am äußeren Rumpf angeordneten äußeren Ärmel hat, einem im äußeren Blahkorper befindlichen aufblasbaren, inneren Blahkorper, der einen inneren Rumpf und einen am inneren Rumpf angeordneten inneren Ärmel hat. Indem das distale Ende des inneren Ärmels mit dem distalen Ende des äußeren Ärmels über eine Verbindungseinrichtung verbunden ist, kann Nachstehendes erzielt werden.A device for smoothing and / or drying clothes, in particular shirts, is provided with an inflatable outer inflatable body, which has an outer trunk and an outer sleeve arranged on the outer trunk, an inflatable inner blowing body located in the outer blowing body , which has an inner torso and an inner sleeve arranged on the inner torso. By connecting the distal end of the inner sleeve to the distal end of the outer sleeve via a connector, the following can be achieved.
[006] Wenn sich bei der Benutzung der Bügelpuppe der innere Ärmel des inneren Blähkörpers manchmal gegenüber dem äußeren Ärmel des äußeren Blähkörpers verschiebt oder verdreht, und sich in Folge dessen beim nächsten Bügelprozess der äußere Ärmel des äußeren Blähkörpers nicht oder nur teilweise aufbläht, wird durch die Verbindungseinrichtung der innere Ärmel durch das Aufblähen der Blähkörper in die richtige Position innerhalb des äußeren Ärmels gezogen und positioniert. Sollte daher beim Wechseln des Bügelguts der innere Ärmel gegenüber dem äußeren Ärmel verrutschen und eine falsche Position einnehmen, so wird er durch den nächsten Bügelprozess immer wieder automatisch in die richtige Position gezogen. Auch wenn die Blähkörper nach einen Wasch- oder Reinigungsvorgang wieder auf die Vorrichtung zum Glätten- und/oder Trocknen aufgespannt werden, wird durch das Vorhandensein der Verbindungseinrichtung der innere Ärmel immer richtig im äußeren Ärmel positioniert, so dass ein mühevolles Einfädeln und Positionieren per Hand des inneren Ärmels im äußeren Ärmel entfallen kann. [007] Hierdurch wird eine einfach zu handhabende und einfach zu benutzende Vorrichtung zum Glätten- und/oder Trocknen von Kleidungsstücken zur Verfügung gestellt.If, when using the iron-on manikin, the inner sleeve of the inner inflatable body sometimes shifts or twists relative to the outer sleeve of the outer inflatable body, and as a result, the outer sleeve of the outer inflatable body does not or only partially inflates during the next ironing process, by the connecting device of the inner sleeve is drawn and positioned in the correct position within the outer sleeve by inflating the inflatable bodies. Therefore, if the inner sleeve slips in relation to the outer sleeve and takes an incorrect position when changing the ironing material, it will automatically be pulled into the correct position again and again by the next ironing process. Even if the inflatable bodies are clamped back onto the device for smoothing and / or drying after a washing or cleaning process, the presence of the connecting device means that the inner sleeve is always correctly positioned in the outer sleeve, so that laborious threading and positioning by hand inner Sleeves in the outer sleeve can be omitted. This provides an easy-to-use and easy-to-use device for smoothing and / or drying items of clothing.
[008] Indem die Verbindungseinrichtung eine lösbare Verbindungseinrichtung ist, die bevorzugt an der Verbindungsstelle mit dem inneren Ärmel und/oder mit dem äußeren Ärmel lösbar verbunden ist, kann der äußere Blähkörper vom inneren Blähkörper auf einfache Weise getrennt werden. Bspw. nach einem Waschvorgang kann der innere Blähkörper auf einfache Weise mittels der lösbaren Verbindungseinrichtung mit dem äußeren Blähkörper verbunden werden, wobei beim Verbinden von innerem Blähkörper mit äußerem Blähkörper auf eine exakte Positionierung des inneren Ärmels im äußeren Ärmel nicht geachtet werden braucht.Since the connecting device is a detachable connecting device, which is preferably releasably connected at the connection point to the inner sleeve and / or to the outer sleeve, the outer inflatable body can be separated from the inner inflatable body in a simple manner. For example. after a washing process, the inner inflatable body can be connected to the outer inflatable body in a simple manner by means of the releasable connecting device, wherein when connecting the inner inflatable body to the outer inflatable body, no exact positioning of the inner sleeve in the outer sleeve needs to be taken into account.
[009] Indem die Verbindungseinrichtung beabstandet zu einer Mittellinie des inneren und des äußeren Ärmels ist, kann auch eine verdrehte Position, bei der der innere Ärmel gegenüber dem äußeren Ärmel verdreht positioniert ist, auf zuverlässige Weise wieder in die ordnungsgemäße Position zurückgebracht werden, wenn beim nächsten Bügelvorgang der Blahkorper aufgeblasen wird. Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, die Verbindungseinrichtung im unteren Abschnitt des inneren und des äußeren Ärmels anzuordnen, um Verdrehungen des inneren Ärmels gegenüber dem äußeren Ärmel bedingt durch das Eigengewicht der Verbindungseinrichtung besser zu eliminieren.By spacing the connector from a centerline of the inner and outer sleeves, a twisted position in which the inner sleeve is rotated relative to the outer sleeve can also be reliably returned to the proper position when at the next time the blah body is inflated. It is particularly advantageous to arrange the connecting device in the lower section of the inner and outer sleeves in order to better eliminate twisting of the inner sleeve relative to the outer sleeve due to the weight of the connecting device.
[010] Indem der innere Ärmel um eine vorbestimmte Länge L kürzer als der äußere Ärmel ist, und indem die Verbindungseinrichtung eine Länge L hat, um den Abstand zwischen innerem Ärmel und äußerem Ärmel zu überbrücken, dient die Verbindungs- . - einrichtung als ein vorteilhaftes Zugmittel um den innern Ärmel im äußeren Ärmel immer zuverlässig exakt zu positionieren.By making the inner sleeve shorter than the outer sleeve by a predetermined length L, and by having the connector length L to bridge the distance between the inner sleeve and the outer sleeve, the connector serves. - Device as an advantageous traction device to always reliably position the inner sleeve in the outer sleeve.
[011] ' Indem die Verbindungseinrichtung am stirnseitigen Ende des inneren Ärmels befestigt ist und indem die Verbindungseinrichtung am stirnseitigen Ende des äußeren Ärmels befestigt ist, ist die Verbindungseinrichtung jeweils an Stellen mit dem inneren Blähkörper bzw. dem äußeren Blähkörper verbunden, an dem kein Bügelgut, insbesondere Hemd anliegt. Hierdurch wird vermieden, dass sich die Verbindungsstelle zwischen innerem Ärmel und äußerem Ärmel auf dem Bügelgut abdrückt.[011] 'Since the connecting device is fastened to the front end of the inner sleeve and by the connecting device is fastened to the front end of the outer sleeve, the connection means is respectively connected at locations with the inner inflatable member and the outer inflation body, in which no material to be ironed, especially shirt. This prevents the connection point between the inner sleeve and the outer sleeve from being pressed onto the material to be ironed.
[012] Indem die Verbindungseinrichtung als ein biegeschlaffes Teil, bevorzugt als ein Band aus Stoff oder eine Schnur ausgebildet ist, wird eine einfache Verbindungseinrichtung zur Verfügung gestellt.By the connection device being designed as a pliable part, preferably as a band made of fabric or a cord, a simple connection device is provided.
[013] Indem am Endabschnitt des äußeren Ärmels ein Gewicht angeordnet ist, das bevorzugt als ein Manschettenspanner ausgebildet ist, wird der innere Ärmel durch das Gewicht bzw. den Manschettenspanner über die Verbindungseinrichtung im äußeren Ärmel bereits vorpositioniert. [014] Weitere Einzelheiten, Merkmale und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachstehenden Beschreibung eines Ausführungsbeispiels einer erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung zum- Glätten- und/oder Trocknen von Kleidungsstücken, insbesondere Hemden, unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeichnung.By arranging a weight at the end section of the outer sleeve, which is preferably designed as a cuff tensioner, the inner sleeve is already pre-positioned in the outer sleeve by the weight or the cuff tensioner via the connecting device. Further details, features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description of an embodiment of an apparatus for smoothing and / or drying clothes, in particular shirts, with reference to the drawing.
[015] Darin zeigen:[015]
[016] Figur 1 eine schematische Gesamtansicht einer Vorrichtung zum Glätten- und/oder Trocknen von Kleidungsstücken, insbesondere Hemden;[016] Figure 1 is a schematic overall view of a device for smoothing and / or drying clothes, in particular shirts;
[017] Figur 2 eine Ansicht der rechten Hälfte des Blähkörpers der Vorrichtung zum Glätten- und/oder Trocknen von Kleidungsstücken gemäß Figur 1.FIG. 2 shows a view of the right half of the inflatable body of the device for smoothing and / or drying items of clothing according to FIG. 1.
[018] Gemäß Figur 1 hat eine Vorrichtung zum Glätten- und/oder Trocknen von Kleidungsstücken, insbesondere Hemden, ein Gestell 1, auf dem ein aufblasbarer äußerer Blähkörper 2 angeordnet ist. Der äußere Blähkörper 2 hat die Form des zu glättenden und/oder zu trocknenden Kleidungsstücks bzw. Bügelguts, das im vorliegenden Fall ein Hemd, ein Jackett oder ein anderes Kleidungsstück sein kann, das einem menschlichen Oberkörper entspricht.According to FIG. 1, a device for smoothing and / or drying clothes, in particular shirts, has a frame 1 on which an inflatable outer inflatable body 2 is arranged. The outer inflatable body 2 has the shape of the item of clothing or ironing to be smoothed and / or dried, which in the present case can be a shirt, jacket or other item of clothing that corresponds to a human torso.
[019] Im Gestell 1 ist ein Luftführungskanal 3 angeordnet, in dem eine Heizeinrichtung 4 und ein Ventilator 5 angeordnet sind.In the frame 1, an air duct 3 is arranged, in which a heating device 4 and a fan 5 are arranged.
[020] Gemäß Figur 2 ist erkennbar, dass innerhalb des äußeren Blähkörpers 2 ein weiterer innerer Blähkörper 6 innerhalb des äußeren Blähkörpers 2 angeordnet ist. Der innere Blähkörper 6 hat im wesentlichen die gleiche Form wie der äußere Blähkörper 2. Der äußere Blähkörper 2 hat einen äußeren Rumpf 7 und einen äußeren Ärmel 8. Der innere Blähkörper 6 hat einen inneren Rumpf 9 und einen inneren Ärmel 10.According to FIG. 2 it can be seen that a further inner inflatable body 6 is arranged within the outer inflatable body 2 within the outer inflatable body 2. The inner inflatable body 6 has essentially the same shape as the outer inflatable body 2. The outer inflatable body 2 has an outer trunk 7 and an outer sleeve 8. The inner inflatable body 6 has an inner trunk 9 and an inner sleeve 10.
[021] Der Ventilator 5 erzeugt im Luftführungskanal 3 einen heißen Luftstrom 11, der über eine Öffnung 12 zunächst in den inneren Blähkörper 6 eingeleitet wird. Der Luftstrom 11 wird über eine vorbestimmte Luftdurchlässigkeit des Materials des inneren Blähkörpers 6 in den äußeren Rumpf und den äußeren Ärmel 8 des äußeren Blähkörpers 2 eingeleitet. Das stirnseitige Ende des inneren Ärmels hat eine Öffnung 13, um den Luftstrom 11 bevorzugt in den äußeren Ärmel 8 einzuleiten.The fan 5 generates a hot air flow 11 in the air duct 3, which is initially introduced into the inner inflatable body 6 via an opening 12. The air flow 11 is introduced into the outer fuselage and the outer sleeve 8 of the outer inflatable body 2 via a predetermined air permeability of the material of the inner inflatable body 6. The front end of the inner sleeve has an opening 13 for preferably introducing the air flow 11 into the outer sleeve 8.
[022] Sowohl im Verbindungsbereicht zwischen innerem Rumpf 9 und innerem Ärmel 10 als im Verbindungsbereich zwischen äußerem Rumpf 7 und äußerem Ärmel 8 ist eine Einschnürung 14 vorgesehen, die ein besseres und automatisches Anpassen des inneren Blähkörpers 6 und des äußeren Blähkörpers 2 an unterschiedlich Konfektionsgrößen ermöglicht.A constriction 14 is provided both in the connection area between the inner trunk 9 and the inner sleeve 10 and in the connection area between the outer trunk 7 and the outer sleeve 8, which enables a better and automatic adaptation of the inner inflatable body 6 and the outer inflatable body 2 to different clothing sizes ,
[023] Der innere Ärmel 10 ist um die Länge L kürzer als der äußere Ärmel 8. Zwischen dem stirnseitigen Ende des inneren Ärmels 9 und dem stirnseitigen Ende des äußeren Endes 8 ist eine Verbindungseinrichtung 15 angeordnet, die das distale Ende des inneren Ärmels 10 den mit dem distalen Ende des äußeren Ärmels 8 verbindet. Die Verbindungseinrichtung 15 ist als ein biegeschlaffes Teil, bevorzugt als ein Band aus Stoff oder eine Schnur ausgebildet. Die Verbindungseinrichtung 15 ist als eine lösbare Verbindungseinrichtung ausgebildet, die bevorzugt an den Verbindungsstellen 16 mit dem inneren Ärmel und/oder dem äußeren Ärmel lösbar verbunden ist. Bevorzugt ist die Verbindungseinrichtung 15 an den Verbindungsstellen 16 über eine Druckknopfverbindung oder über eine Verbindung mittels Knopf und Knopfloch verbunden. Es ist jedoch jede andere lösbare Verbindungseinrichtung möglich.The inner sleeve 10 is shorter by the length L than the outer sleeve 8. Between the front end of the inner sleeve 9 and the front end of the outer end 8, a connecting device 15 is arranged, which the distal end of the inner sleeve 10 den connects to the distal end of the outer sleeve 8. The connecting device 15 is made from a limp part, preferably as a band Fabric or a cord. The connecting device 15 is designed as a detachable connecting device, which is preferably detachably connected to the inner sleeve and / or the outer sleeve at the connecting points 16. The connection device 15 is preferably connected at the connection points 16 via a push-button connection or via a connection by means of a button and buttonhole. However, any other detachable connection device is possible.
[024] Die Verbindungseinrichtung 15 ist beabstandet zu einer Mittellinie 17 des inneren und äußeren Ärmels 10, 8 angeordnet. Bevorzugt ist die Verbindungseinrichtung im unteren Abschnitt des inneren und des äußeren Ärmels 10, 8 angeordnet.The connecting device 15 is spaced apart from a center line 17 of the inner and outer sleeves 10, 8. The connecting device is preferably arranged in the lower section of the inner and outer sleeves 10, 8.
[025] Die Länge der Verbindungseinrichtung 15 entspricht der Länge L und damit dem Längenunterschied zwischen dem inneren Ärmel 10 und dem äußeren Ärmel 8. Weiterhin ist am Endabschnitt des äußeren Ärmels ein Gewicht 18 in Form eines Manschettenspanners angeordnet.The length of the connecting device 15 corresponds to the length L and thus the difference in length between the inner sleeve 10 and the outer sleeve 8. Furthermore, a weight 18 in the form of a cuff tensioner is arranged at the end section of the outer sleeve.
[026] Wird der innere Blähkörper 6 und der äußere Blähkörper 2 bspw. nach einem Waschvorgang neu auf das Gestell 1 montiert, so muss bei der Montage des äußeren Blähkörpers 2 über dem inneren Blähkörper 6 lediglich die Verbindungseinrichtung 15 in Form eines Bandes aus Stoff zwischen den Verbindungsstellen 16 verbunden werden. Eine genaue Positionierung des inneren Ärmels 10 im äußeren Ärmel 8 ist nicht erforderlich, da beim ersten Aufblähen des inneren und des äußeren Blähkörpers 6 und 2 der äußere Ärmel 8 gestreckt wird und über die Verbindungseinrichtung 15 den inneren Ärmel 10 automatisch in die richtige Position zieht. Auch kann es vorkommen, dass beim Wechseln des zu trocknenden und zu glättenden Kleidungsstücks bzw. Hemds sich der innere Ärmel 10 gegenüber dem äußeren Ärmel 8 falsch positioniert. Wird dann nächste Kleidungsstück über den äußeren Blähkörper 2 gezogen und dabei der äußere Ärmel 8 in den Ärmel des Kleidungsstücks gesteckt, so hilft das Gewicht 18 in Form eines Manschettenspanners, dass der äußere Ärmel 8 besser durch den Ärmel des Kleidungsstücks fällt und durch diesen Vorgang bereits eine Vorpositionierung des inneren Ärmels 10 gegenüber dem äußeren Ärmel 8 vornimmt, da die Kraft des Gewichts 18 über die Verbindungseinrichtung 15 einen Zug auf den inneren Ärmel 10 ausübt und somit richtig positioniert. Werden nach dem Aufziehen eines zu trocknenden Kleidungsstücks die Blähkörper 2 und 6 aufgeblasen, so streckt sich der äußere Ärmel 8 und übt über die Verbindungseinrichtung 15 einen Zug auf den inneren Ärmel aus, so dass der innere Ärmel 10 optimal positioniert ist. If the inner inflatable body 6 and the outer inflatable body 2, for example after a washing process, are newly mounted on the frame 1, then only the connecting device 15 in the form of a band of material between the inner inflatable body 2 has to be installed the connection points 16 are connected. A precise positioning of the inner sleeve 10 in the outer sleeve 8 is not necessary, since when the inner and outer inflatable bodies 6 and 2 are first inflated, the outer sleeve 8 is stretched and automatically pulls the inner sleeve 10 into the correct position via the connecting device 15. It can also happen that when changing the garment or shirt to be dried and smoothed, the inner sleeve 10 is positioned incorrectly with respect to the outer sleeve 8. If the next garment is then pulled over the outer inflatable body 2 and the outer sleeve 8 is inserted into the sleeve of the garment, the weight 18 in the form of a cuff tensioner helps that the outer sleeve 8 falls better through the sleeve of the garment and through this process already prepositions the inner sleeve 10 with respect to the outer sleeve 8, since the force of the weight 18 exerts a pull on the inner sleeve 10 via the connecting device 15 and thus positions it correctly.
