Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a clothing press that applies pressure vertically to a garment press (including when it functions as a lower iron).

In general, this type of clothing press has an upper trowel supported by a two-stage arm mechanism so that it does not get in the way when clothing is attached or removed. That is, the first arm is rotatably supported on the main body where Nomurad is located, and the first arm is pivoted at the tip of the first arm and rotates around an axis parallel to the center line of rotation of the first arm. A second arm is freely movable, and an upper trowel is pivotably supported on the tip of the second arm, so that the upper trowel can be moved rearward and downward of the pad when not pressing. It is something. According to this two-stage arm mechanism, a necessary and sufficient space can be obtained above the nomirad in the open state. Since the movement range of the upper trowel is wide, the side heat of the upper trowel will directly hit the operator during movement and in the open position, resulting in a poor working environment and, in some cases, there is a danger that the operator may come into contact with the upper trowel. . In addition, when the first arm is in the press position, the upper iron is substantially horizontal and is configured to face the o-tub, so that the lower surface of the upper iron is against the clothes on the nozzle P. One outer end of the cloth presses against it, which tends to cause wrinkles and twists in the clothing.

The present invention aims to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks.
In a clothing press in which the upper trowel applies pressure perpendicularly to the Nomurado, there is provided a pressurizing arm having an upper trowel at the tip and curved backward, and a pressurizing center line of the upper trowel below the Nomurado and relative to the Nomurado. ← A rotating member having a rotation center side 1 is provided at a slightly heated position at the rear, and a leg is formed on the rotating member that extends rearward and downward from the rotation center axis,
The base of the pressure arm is attached to this leg so as to be movable up and down, and a cylinder device is installed between the rotation member and the base of the front pressure arm on the front side of the rotation center axis. This is a characteristic feature.

The present invention will be explained below with reference to an illustrated embodiment.

The pressurizing arm 4 includes a horizontal protruding portion 4a that supports the upper iron 3, and a curved portion 4 that curves backward and downward from the horizontal protruding portion when viewed from the operator.
．． 1), and a base portion 4c located at the lower end of the curved portion and projecting inward from the curved shape.

The base 4c of the pressurizing arm 4 is located within the press body 1, and has a support arm 4d protruding forward from the lower end of the base. As can be clearly seen from FIG. 3, this pressurizing arm 4.4 has a mechanism 5 provided between the bottom surfaces of the tips of its horizontal protrusions 4a, 4a, and
They are integrally connected by a mechanism 6 provided between the upper grooves of the base, a mechanism 7 provided between the upper surface of the support arm 4d protruding from the lower end of the base, and several other elements 8, 9 and 10. There is.

Inside the press body 1, there are side walls 1a, 1 of the body casing.
A shaft 11 having both ends fixed is provided at b, and a boss portion of a rotating member 12 is rotatably fitted onto the shaft. As can be clearly seen from FIG. 3, the rotating member 12 has a pair of legs 13 extending rearward from the shaft 11 and hanging downward, and a pair of arms 14 projecting obliquely upward on the front side. Support plates 15 and 16 are fixed parallel to the shaft 11 between the upper and lower portions of the pair of legs 13 and 13 that extend rearward from the shaft 11, respectively. Both support plates 1.5.16 extend beyond the legs 13 toward the side walls 1a, lb of the main casing, and between the extended portions of the support plate 15 and the support plate 16, One Rotsu Y1'7 is fixed in each case. 18.19
is a stop horn ξ which limits the range of rotation of the rotating member 12, and the rod 17 is vertical at a position where the leg 13 of the rotating member contacts the stop horn 818 (FIG. 2).

A base 4c extending from the inside of the pressurizing arm 4 is superimposed on the leg 13 projecting rearwardly of the rotating member 12, and the rod 17 of the rotating member 12 is connected to a superior officer's base 4c. The base 4a of the pressurizing arm 4 is supported by bearings 20 and 21 provided at two upper and lower locations on the side surface thereof. The pressure arm 4 can be moved up and down along the rod 17 as viewed in FIGS. 2 and 3. Reference numeral 22 indicates stop horns for restricting the movement of the pressurizing arm 4. This stop horn 822 is attached to the support plate 15 at the upper end of the leg of the rotating member 12 via an auxiliary plate, and is located at a position where it can come into contact with the mechanism 6 provided at the upper end of the base of the pressure arm 4 described above. The legs 13 of the rotating member 12 are extended rearward, and the base 4c of the pressurizing arm 4 is
By overlapping both of them, the length of the leg 13 of the rotating member 12 is not unnecessarily increased in order to ensure the predetermined vertical movement distance of the pressurizing arm 4. This is not only good, but also means that the center of rotation of the entire curved body of the pressurizing arm 4 is moved away from the inside of the curved body.

Support arm 4 protruding forward from the lower end of base 4C of pressurizing arm 4
The machine 7 bridging d + 4 d is made of a plate having a projection 7' at the center of its upper surface, and both ends extend parallel to the axis 11 of the rotating member 12 beyond the support arm 4d of the pressure member. There is. On the other hand, a shaft 23 is provided between the tips of the pair of arms 14, 14 of the rotating member 12, and this shaft 23 also extends outside the arms 14 and 14 in parallel with the axis 11 of the rotating member. . As a driving source for moving the pressure member 4 relative to the rotation member 12, a cylinder device 24 is provided between the center of the shaft 23 of the rotation member and the central protrusion 7' of the mechanism 7 of the pressure arm 4. Installation. In this embodiment, the piston rod of the cylinder device 24 is pivoted on the shaft 23 of the arm 14 of the rotating member, and the base of the cylinder is pivoted via a pin 25 on the central projection 7' of the pressurizing arm 4. It is. Furthermore, the shaft 23 of the rotary member serves as a return means for returning the pressure member 4 to the original position with respect to the rotary member 12.
A coil spring 26 is provided between the pressurizing arm 4 and the pressurizing arm 4 on both sides of the cylinder device 24 (in this example, on the outwardly extending portion of the rotating member 12 of the arm 14). It is fixed. Due to the action of this spring 26)
...Usually, the pressure arm 4 is at the upper limit of its movement range, i.e.
When the cylinder group #24 is pulled up to the position where it contacts the rod 17 (original position), the cylinder group #24 acts to push the pressurizing arm 4 downward along the rod 17 against the force of this spring.

The axis of the cylinder device 24 is the upper trowel 3 relative to the pan)'2.
The rotation center axis 11 of the rotating member 12 is located at a position slightly rearward from this pressure center line 27.

Pressure arm 4B, Rotsu P17. Since it is connected to the rotating member 12 by the cylinder device 24 and the spring 26, it can rotate integrally with the rotating member 12 about the shaft 11 in the direction of arrow P in FIG.

Therefore, the shaft 11 serves as the rotation center axis of the pressurizing arm 4.
The pressurizing arm as a whole is located on the inside of the curved body. In this case, axis 1
An assembly that rotates around 1, that is, an upper trowel 3. Pressure arm 4
9 Rotating member 12. Lotsu P17. The cylinder device 24 and the S neck 2G as a whole have an S lance around the shaft 11, and the base 4C of the pressurizing arm 4 functions as a weight for taking this lance. Note that 28 is a handshake portion for opening and closing the pressurizing arm 4, and 29 is a shelf for placing work tools and the like.

Next, the operation will be explained. Initially, the pressurizing arm 4 is in the closed position shown in FIG.
Suppose that it is at 64F, which is in contact with 8. At this time, the pressure arm 4
The upper trowel 3 attached to the tip of is directly above the Nomurad 2 (
It is located at the top #) and is separated from Nomurad 2 by an appropriate distance.

Now, the handshake part 2 provided at the tip of the horizontal protrusion 4a of the pressure arm 4
8 and push the pressurizing arm 4 backward, the pressurizing arm 4 moves along with the rotating member 12 around the shaft 11 in the direction of the arrow P in FIG.
The rotating member 12 rotates in one direction and stops at the position where the leg 13 of the rotating member 12 contacts the stop horn 819 (open position), as shown in FIG. At this time, the upper trowel 3 attached to the tip of the pressurizing arm 4, the rotation center of the pressurizing arm 4 is slightly away from the pressurizing center line 27 of the Nomurad 2 to the rear side, and the entire pressurizing arm First of all, due to the fact that it is on the inside of the curved body,
While moving horizontally for a relatively long time on the ξ-tsu l-''2, it gradually moves downward, and finally moves to the open position shown in FIG. 4. Length of the pressurizing arm 4 from the axis 11 Since the rotation radius of the pressurizing arm 4 is shorter than that in the case where the center of rotation of the pressurizing arm 4 is not shifted to the inside of the curved body of the pressurizing arm 4, there is a possibility that the pressurizing arm 4 protrudes backward from the press body. (dRelatively little.

With the upper trowel 3 flying 1 point against the pad 2, attach the garment to be pressed to the pan 1-''2, then move the pressurizing arm 4 to the second
Return to closed position as shown.

Press the press switch (not shown) to set the air pressure.

Cylinder device A using an appropriate pressure source such as steam pressure or liquid pressure
24 is activated. The cylinder device 24 is the Nomine 2
Support arm 4 of pressurizing arm 4 in closed ff1t against force of 6
d is pushed down against the arm 14 of the rotating member 12. Pressure arm 4
moves downward from the state shown in FIG. 2 along the curve l-' 17 of the rotating member 12. At this time, the upper trowel 3 descends perpendicularly to the pad 2 and presses the clothing on the pad 2. At this time, steam is added from the upper trowel 3 or pad 2 as required. The cylinder device 24 is located on the pressurization center line 27,
Since the pressurizing arm 4 is pulled down directly below the bread 1-'2, the garment is pressed with high quality without any wrinkles or the like.

After an appropriate pressing time, which may be set manually or automatically, the cylinder device 24 is depressurized, and the pressing arm 4 returns from the pressing position to the closed position shown in FIG. 2 by the action of the ζ screw 26. The operator tilts the pressurizer 111ii4 to the open position,
Remove the pressed clothing.

As described above, according to the present invention, the upper trowel 3 moves backward horizontally with respect to the pad 2, so if the operator touches the upper trowel 3 when opening and closing the pressurizing arm, it is difficult to properly wear the upper trowel 3. There is no danger of touching clothing, and work efficiency is significantly improved. Since the radius of rearward tilting of the pressurizing arm 4 is small, a relatively compact clothing press is provided, and the shelf 29 can be provided above the upper trowel 3 as in the embodiment. Additionally, if it is lowered during pressing, the upper trowel 3 will descend perpendicularly to the nomirad 2, resulting in a better press finish.

In addition, in the embodiment, the rod 17 and the bearings 20, 21
Although the pressurizing arm 4 is made vertically movable relative to the rotary Ib member 12 through a slot, it is also possible to do so using a slot or the like.

Further, although the entire assembly including the pressure member 4 and the rotation member 12 is manually rotated by the handshake portion 28,
For example, the arm 14 or 14194113 of the rotating member 12 may be configured to be rotated by a cylinder device dedicated to opening and closing through an appropriate link mechanism, so that the pressurizing arm 4 can be automatically opened and closed. .
