Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Glätten- und/oder Trocknen von Kleidungsstücken, insbesondere von Hemden mittels eines aufblasbaren Blähkörpers.The invention relates to a device for smoothing and / or drying of garments, in particular of shirts by means of an inflatable inflatable body.

Die DE 100 63 672 zeigt eine Vorrichtung zum Glätten- und Trocknen von Kleidungsstücken, insbesondere von Hemden mit einem aufblasbaren äußeren Blähkörper und einem darin befindlichen aufblasbaren inneren Blähkörper. Der innere Blähkörper kann mit dem äußeren Blähkörper punktuell oder entlang einer Linie lösbar verbunden sein.The DE 100 63 672 shows a device for smoothing and drying of garments, especially shirts with an inflatable outer inflatable body and an inflatable inner inflatable body therein. The inner inflatable body can be detachably connected to the outer inflatable body at a point or along a line.

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.Object of the present invention is to provide a generic device for smoothing and / or drying of garments, especially shirts available, which is easy to use and handling.

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 embodiments and modifications of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims.

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 Blähkörper befindlichen aufblasbaren, inneren Blähkörper, 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.An apparatus for straightening and / or drying garments, in particular shirts, is provided with an inflatable outer inflatable body having an outer torso and an outer sleeve disposed on the outer torso, an inflatable inner inflatable body located in the outer inflatable body inner hull and has an inner sleeve disposed on the inner trunk. 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.

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.When the inner sleeve of the inner inflatable body sometimes shifts or twists with respect to the outer sleeve of the outer inflatable body during use of the ironing manikin, and as a result the outer sleeve of the outer inflatable body does not inflate or only partly inflates during the next ironing process, the connecting device of FIG Inner sleeves are pulled and positioned by inflating the inflatable body into position within the outer sleeve. If, therefore, when changing the item to be ironed, the inner sleeve slips relative to the outer sleeve and assumes a wrong position, then it is automatically pulled into the correct position by the next ironing process. Even if the inflatable bodies are stretched back onto the device for smoothing and / or drying after a washing or cleaning process, the inner sleeve is always correctly positioned in the outer sleeve due to the presence of the connecting device, so that a laborious threading and positioning by hand inner Sleeves in the outer sleeve can be omitted.

Hierdurch wird eine einfach zu handhabende und einfach zu benutzende Vorrichtung zum Glätten- und/oder Trocknen von Kleidungsstücken zur Verfügung gestellt.This provides an easy-to-use and easy to use device for smoothing and / or drying garments.

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.By the connecting means is a releasable connection means, which is preferably releasably connected at the junction with the inner sleeve and / or with 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 easily connected by means of the releasable connection means with the outer inflatable body, which does not need to be paid attention to an exact positioning of the inner sleeve in the outer sleeve when connecting the inner inflatable body with the outer inflatable body.

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 Blähkörper 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 having the connecting means spaced from a centerline of the inner and outer sleeves, a twisted position in which the inner sleeve is twisted relative to the outer sleeve can be reliably returned to the proper position when the next ironing operation Inflated inflatable body is. It is particularly advantageous to arrange the connecting device in the lower portion of the inner and the outer sleeve to better eliminate twisting of the inner sleeve relative to the outer sleeve due to the weight of the connecting device.

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 Verbindungseinrichtung als ein vorteilhaftes Zugmittel um den innern Ärmel im äußeren Ärmel immer zuverlässig exakt zu positionieren.By having the inner sleeve shorter than the outer sleeve by a predetermined length L, and by having the connecting means of a length L to bridge the distance between inner sleeve and outer sleeve, the connecting means serves as an advantageous traction means around the inner sleeve in the outer Always reliably position sleeves.

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.By the connecting device is attached to the front end of the inner sleeve and by the connecting device is attached to the front end of the outer sleeve, the connecting device is connected in each case at points with the inner inflatable body or the outer inflatable body against which no ironed, in particular shirt. This avoids that the connection between inner sleeve and outer sleeve on the ironing depressed.

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 forming the connecting device as a pliable part, preferably as a band of cloth or a string, a simple connecting device is provided.

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.By placing a weight on the end portion of the outer sleeve which is preferably designed as a cuff tensioner, the inner sleeve is already pre-positioned by the weight or the cuff tensioner via the connection device in the outer sleeve.

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.Further details, features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description of an embodiment of an apparatus according to the invention for smoothing and / or drying of garments, in particular shirts, with reference to the drawing.

Darin zeigen:Show:

Figur 1 eine schematische Gesamtansicht einer Vorrichtung zum Glätten- und/oder Trocknen von Kleidungsstücken, insbesondere Hemden;Figure 1 is a schematic overall view of a device for smoothing and / or drying of garments, especially shirts;

Figur 2 eine Ansicht der rechten Hälfte des Blähkörpers der Vorrichtung zum Glätten- und/oder Trocknen von Kleidungsstücken gemäß Figur 1.2 shows a view of the right half of the inflatable body of the device for smoothing and / or drying garments according to FIG. 1.

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 articles of clothing, 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 garment to be smoothed and / or dried, which in the present case may be a shirt, jacket or other garment corresponding to a human torso.

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 heater 4 and a fan 5 are arranged.

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 Figure 2 it can be seen that within the outer inflatable body 2, a further inner inflatable body 6 is disposed within the outer inflatable body 2. The inner inflatable body 6 has substantially 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.

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 in the air duct 3, a hot air flow 11, which is first introduced via an opening 12 in the inner inflatable body 6. The air flow 11 is introduced via a predetermined air permeability of the material of the inner inflatable body 6 in the outer trunk and the outer sleeve 8 of the outer inflatable body 2. The front end of the inner sleeve has an opening 13 to the air flow 11 preferably in the outer sleeve 8 to initiate.

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.Both in Verbindungsbereicht between the inner hull 9 and inner sleeve 10 as in the connection region between the outer trunk 7 and outer sleeve 8 a constriction 14 is provided which allows a better and automatic adjustment of the inner inflatable body 6 and the outer inflatable body 2 to different clothing sizes.

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, the distal end of the inner sleeve 10 with the distal End of the outer sleeve 8 connects. The connecting device 15 is designed as a pliable part, preferably as a band Fabric or a cord formed. The connecting device 15 is designed as a releasable connecting device, which is preferably detachably connected at the connection points 16 with the inner sleeve and / or the outer sleeve. Preferably, the connecting device 15 is connected to the connection points 16 via a push-button connection or via a connection by means of button and buttonhole. However, any other releasable connection means is possible.

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 arranged at a distance 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.

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 is arranged in the form of a sleeve tensioner at the end portion of the outer sleeve.

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, for example, the inner inflatable body 6 and the outer inflatable body 2 are newly mounted onto the frame 1 after a washing process, then only the connecting device 15 in the form of a band of material between the connecting points 16 must be used during assembly of the outer inflatable body 2 above the inner inflatable body 6 get connected. A precise positioning of the inner sleeve 10 in the outer sleeve 8 is not required because the first inflation of the inner and outer inflatable body 6 and 2, the outer sleeve 8 is stretched and automatically pulls the inner sleeve 10 via the connecting means 15 in the correct position. It can also happen that when changing the garment or shirt to be dried and smoothed, the inner sleeve 10 is positioned incorrectly relative to the outer sleeve 8. Then, when the next garment is 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 the outer sleeve 8 to fall better through the sleeve of the garment and through this process already a pre-positioning of the inner sleeve 10 relative to the outer sleeve 8 makes, since the force of the weight 18 via the connecting means 15 exerts a train on the inner sleeve 10 and thus correctly positioned. If after inflating a garment to be dried the inflatable bodies 2 and 6 are inflated, the outer sleeve 8 stretches and exerts a tension on the inner sleeve via the connecting device 15, so that the inner sleeve 10 is optimally positioned.
