Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an ironing machine for press-finishing collars and cuffs of shirts and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a cleaning factory or the like, a washed shirt is finished by ironing the front surface and the back surface and then press-molding the collar and both cuffs with a dedicated ironing machine.

This ironing machine exclusively for the collar and cuff is
As shown in FIG. 1, an ironing board 14 for finishing a collar and two ironing boards 1 for finishing a cuff are placed on an iron support 6.
5, 5 and 15 are arranged side by side, and a hot plate 11 having a crimping surface 13 corresponding to the surface shape of each ironing board 14, 15 is provided above the support table 6, and the hot plate 11 and each ironing board 14, 1 are provided.
By crimping 5, the shirt collar and both cuffs are finished at the same time.

In the above ironing machine, the surface shapes of the ironing boards 14 and 15 must be formed so that the collar and cuffs can be expanded and set without wrinkles. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 6, the ironing boards 15 and 15 for finishing the cuffs are formed in a mountain shape with a small narrow angle to correspond to the developed shape of the cuffs that cannot be largely opened by a button or the like, and have an arc shape. It has a shape in which a pair of slope portions 42 and 43 extending in the left-right direction at the same inclination angle are provided on both sides of the apex portion 41 projecting to.

Conventionally, such an ironing board 15 for finishing a cuff is formed by covering a pad plate 45 on a single crimping plate 44 bent in an arc shape as shown in FIG. Is elastically supported by the support base 6 via a coil spring 28.

[0006]

By the way, when considering the state in which the cuffs of the shirt are pressed between the ironing board 15 and the heating plate 11, the surface of the ironing board 15 is vertically pressed by pressing the heating plate 11. The pressing force P of is applied.

In this case, the arc-shaped top 41 is
The pressing force P acts almost perpendicularly to the surface of the pad material 45, and good press finishing is performed. However, the pressing force P acts in an oblique direction on the surfaces of the inclined sloped portions 42 and 43. The pressing force P acting on an arbitrary point is decomposed into a component force Px in the vertical direction and a component force Py in the horizontal direction with respect to the surface of the pad material 45.

Therefore, in each of the slope portions 42 and 43, the horizontal component force Py tends to cause a position shift in the cuffs, and the vertical component force Px acting as a pressing force becomes small, which is sufficient. There is a problem that press molding cannot be performed and it is difficult to obtain a beautiful finished surface.

Further, since the pad material 45 is made of a flexible material, it tends to be deteriorated by the heat generated by the press working, and the thickness thereof will be gradually reduced and hardened. In this case, in the ironing machine, the radius of curvature of the surface of the ironing board 15 is set to be larger than the radius of curvature of the pressure bonding surface 13 of the hot plate 11, and the pressing force ( Although the component force Px) in the vertical direction is obtained, the thickness of the pad material 45 of the slope portions 42 and 43 becomes thin due to repeated use, and when the pad material 45 is hardened, the difference in the above-mentioned radii of curvature becomes small, and The vertical component Px of the pressing force hardly acts on the slopes 42 and 43. Therefore, there is a problem that the finish quality of the cuffs is significantly deteriorated.

Therefore, the present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and in a structure in which a garment is pressed between a mountain-shaped ironing board having a small narrow angle and a heating plate, the entire garment can be uniformly and stably press-molded. The purpose is to provide a possible ironing finish.

[0011]

In order to solve the above problems, according to the present invention, an ironing board is provided with a pair of tops, which are arcuate convex surfaces, and a pair of left and right sides extending from both sides of the tops in the left-right direction at the same inclination angle. In a structure in which the ironing board is supported by a support base via an elastic member, the top of the ironing board and each slope are separated, and the slope of each slope with respect to the top is inclined to each slope. The structure is such that the opening / closing means for changing the angle is connected.

The second means of the present invention connects the above-mentioned opening / closing means to each slope portion, the top and the support base,
The link mechanism converts the approaching movement of the ironing board toward the supporting stand into the movement of each inclined surface portion in the pressing direction of the hot plate.

[0013]

In the above structure, when press-molding is performed by pressing the ironing board and the hot plate, the slopes are opened by the opening / closing means to reduce the inclination angle of the slope with respect to the hot plate. As a result, each slope portion moves in the pressure bonding direction of the hot plate, and the ratio of the vertical component force of the pressing force acting on each slope portion can be increased, so that a large forming force can be obtained.

On the other hand, as in the case of the second means, when the slopes are opened and closed by the link mechanism in conjunction with the movement of the ironing board at the time of pressure bonding of the hot plate, the heat is applied to the slopes at the same time as the pressure bonding of the hot plate. It can be moved toward the plate, and reliable and stable press molding can be performed.
