Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a finishing machine for drying and finishing jackets such as suits and blazers using steam and hot air.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, jackets such as suits and blazers are sewn at a sewing factory and then finished using a jacket finishing machine. This type of jacket finishing machine has a jacket stand equipped with a steam outlet, blows out steam from the jacket head to unevenly finish the jacket placed on the jacket stand, and then processes the jacket between the jacket stand and the jacket stand. Hot air is blown out from between the side tension plates installed on both sides to dry the product.

A front presser is provided on the front side of the body stand of the above-mentioned finishing machine, and the jacket is attached to the body stand with its right and left body parts overlapped to prevent the jacket from shifting from the set position of the body stand. The overlapping part is pressed down with a front presser to fix the jacket and body stand.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

By the way, when finishing work using the above-mentioned jacket finishing machine, if buttons or accessories are attached to the overlapping part of the jacket,
There is a problem in which pressure from the front presser foot leaves crimping marks from buttons, etc. on the fabric of the jacket.

For this reason, the conventional method has been to dry finish the jacket using a jacket finishing machine and then attach buttons, accessories, etc. to the jacket. However, this method has the disadvantage of poor work efficiency since it is necessary to perform the sewing work in two steps.

Additionally, attaching buttons and accessories to the jacket may cause the jacket to wrinkle or distort the silhouette. In such cases, it is necessary to correct the jacket using a hand iron, etc. after the finishing cycle. It was hot.

On the other hand, if the pressing force of the front presser is weakened,
Although it is possible to reduce the crimping marks of buttons, etc., the fixing force to the jacket is weakened, so there is a problem that the jacket may shift position when tensioned by the armpit tension plate or hot air is blown out.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is therefore a technical object of the present invention to provide a jacket finishing machine that can prevent the occurrence of crimping marks due to the front presser and also eliminate the displacement of the jacket due to a reduction in the presser force and can finish the jacket reliably.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention has a structure in which a flexible cushion layer is provided on the pressing surface of the front presser and the surface of the body stand corresponding to the pressing surface, and a surface fastener is provided on the surface of the cushion layer. It was adopted.

In the above structure, when the pressing force of the front presser is applied to the jacket, the cushion layer is deformed to reduce the deformation of the jacket and to suppress the impression of pressure marks caused by buttons or the like.

Furthermore, since the hook and loop fastener on the surface of the cushion layer adheres to and holds the fabric of the jacket, it is possible to prevent the jacket from shifting even if the pressing force of the front presser is slightly weakened.

On the other hand, in addition to the above-mentioned structure, if a board made of a cushion layer separate from the jacket is connected to the torso, the board can be sandwiched between the overlapping parts of the jacket, resulting in a larger jacket. A cushion effect can be obtained.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, embodiments of this invention will be described based on the accompanying drawings.

1 and 2 show the overall structure of the embodiment, in which a torso stand 1 is mounted on a base 2 equipped with a control panel and the like.

This torso stand 1 has a pair of side tension plates 4, 4 and a pair of shoulder rest plates 5, 5 provided on both sides of a torso body 3 so that they can be approached and separated, and the shape of the torso as a whole is made to resemble the shape of the upper body of a human body. It is formed.

The side tension plates 4, 4 are connected to the torso main body 3 via a gore cloth 6, and the shoulder rest plates 5, 5 are also attached to the torso main body 3. A guide plate 8 that slides on a guide rail 7 provided on the top surface of the base is attached to the lower end of the side tension plates 4, 4, and an air cylinder 9 is connected to this guide plate 8. When activated, the side tension plates 4, 4 move on the guide rail 7, and expand and approach the torso body 3.

Although not shown, a steam supply source and a hot air supply source are built into the base 2, and steam is supplied from the bottom of the torso 1 to the inside of the torso 1 according to a predetermined cycle. The armpit tension plate 4 has been expanded.
Hot air is blown outward from the gap between the main body 3 and the main body 3.

A cushion layer 10 having a hook-and-loop fastener 11 on its surface is attached to approximately the center of the front surface of the torso main body 3. This cushion layer 10 is attached at a position where a front presser 14 (described later) comes into pressure contact with the torso stand 1, and is formed in a shape slightly larger than a pressing surface 14a of the front presser 14. Felt, foamed urethane rubber, etc. can be used as the material for the cushion layer 10, but in order to obtain greater cushioning performance, sponge rubber, etc. may be laminated on the surface of the felt, etc. .

A cushion plate 13 made of felt or the like is attached to the upper end of the torso main body 3 via a string 12. This cushion plate 13 is formed in a shape slightly larger than the pressing surface 14a of the front presser foot 14.
A hook-and-loop fastener 11 is provided on one surface thereof. The length of the string 12 is determined by the length of the cushion plate 1 between the overlapping fabrics of the shirt covered by the bodice 1.
It is set to a length that can fit 3 in between.

On the other hand, a front presser foot 14 that swings back and forth is provided on the front side of the torso stand 1. This front presser foot 14 is fixed to a swinging lever 15 rotatably attached to the base 2, and is moved toward the body stand 1 by the operation of a drive cylinder 16 connected to the lower end of the swinging lever 15. Jacket A approaches and leaves and covers the trunk 1.
is pressed against the front surface of the torso stand main body 3. A cushion layer 17 is attached to the entire surface of the pressing surface 14a of the front presser foot 14.
The surface of this cushion layer 17 has a hook-and-loop fastener 11.
is provided.

Further, a rear presser foot 18 is provided on the rear side of the torso stand 1 for pressing the back surface of the jacket against the torso stand 1.
This rear presser foot 18 is fixed to a swinging lever 19 driven by an air cylinder, and like the front presser foot 14, a cushion layer 20 and a surface fastener 11 are provided on its pressing surface.

This embodiment has the structure described above.
Next, the effect will be explained.

To attach the jacket to the body stand 1, press the front presser foot 1.
4 and the rear presser foot 18 are separated from the torso stand 1.
As shown in the figure and Fig. 4, the jacket A is
The right body part a with the front opening is placed on the cushion layer 10 of the torso body 3. Next, the cushion plate 13 is placed on the right body part a, and the left body part b of the jacket A is placed on the cushion plate 13. In this case, since the surface fasteners 11 on the surfaces of the cushion layer 10 and the cushion plate 13 adhere to the fabric of the jacket A, the jacket and the cushion plate 1
3 can be held in the set position by simply pressing it lightly against the torso stand 1 or jacket.

Once the jacket A is set as described above, the drive cylinder 16 is then actuated to press the overlapped portion of the jacket A against the barrel stand 1 by the front presser foot 14. In this set state, as shown in FIG. 4, the cushion layers 10 and 17 and the cushion plate 13
When the fabric of the jacket A is sandwiched between them and a pressing force is applied from the front presser foot 14, the flexible cushion layers 10, 17 and the cushion plate 13 are deformed. Therefore, the pressing force applied to the fabric from the button 21 to the jacket A is reduced, and the marks left on the jacket are kept small.

The pressing force of the front 14 is weakened to the extent that the fixing force, which is the sum of the pressing force and the adhesive force of the hook-and-loop fastener 11, exceeds the outward expansion force exerted on the jacket by the armpit tension plate or hot air. Set to .

Incidentally, together with the operation of the front presser 14, the rear presser 18 is activated to press the back of the jacket A against the body stand 1 and fix its movement.

Once jacket A is set on stand 1, the finishing cycle is then started. That is, when the activation button is pressed, the air cylinder 9 in the base 2 is activated to expand the armpit tension plates 4, 4, and the shoulder rest plates 5, 5 are expanded by the grip 22, thereby tightening the jacket A. to smooth out wrinkles on the surface.

Next, steam is introduced into the torso stand 1 from the base 2, blows out from the gaps between the torso stand main body 3 and the expanded side tension plates 4, 4 and shoulder rest plates 5, 5, and the jacket A.
Gives an uneven finish and smoothes out surface wrinkles.

After the steam is dispersed for a predetermined period of time, the steam is changed to hot air, and the jacket A is dried and finished by the hot air blown from the body stand 1.

When the finishing cycle is completed, the front presser 14 and the rear presser 18 are separated from the body stand 1, the finished jacket is removed, and the next jacket is set on the body stand 1.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the cushion plate 13
By simply providing the cushion layers 10 and 17 on the surface of the body stand 1 and the pressing surface of the front presser foot 14, the desired cushioning effect can be obtained, and the press marks of the buttons can be kept small.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, in this invention, a cushion layer is provided on the pressing force of the front presser and the surface of the body stand, and the jacket is sandwiched between the cushion layers, so that the pressing force acting on the jacket can be reduced. , crimping marks on buttons, accessories, etc. can be kept small.

In addition, since the hook-and-loop fasteners on the surface of the cushion layer adhere and hold the jacket fabric, it is possible to prevent the jacket from shifting and ensure a secure finish. Since it can be made weaker, crimping marks caused by buttons, etc. can be further reduced.

Therefore, it is possible to attach buttons and accessories at the sewing stage before finishing work using a finishing machine, and it is also possible to eliminate wrinkles and deformed silhouettes caused by the conventional work of attaching buttons, etc. This eliminates the need for correction work, which has the effect of greatly improving work productivity.
