Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] This invention is used for finishing work in dry cleaning by supplying and exhausting steam and hot air from both press trowels to the laundry sandwiched between the upper and lower press trowels. This invention relates to the improvement of an automatic press machine that performs press finishing.

[Conventional technology]

Conventional automatic press machines of this type consist of upper and lower trowels and a means for supplying and exhausting steam and hot air from inside the machine to these trowels, so they can be sandwiched between the upper and lower trowels to perform press finishing. Press finishing can only be applied to flat parts such as the body of laundry such as pants and skirts, or suits and coats that can be washed.
Generally, when press finishing the sleeves of suits and coats, using a pressing machine with a trowel like the one mentioned above, the sleeves are sandwiched between the upper and lower trowels, which is undesirable as it creates creases like pants. Therefore, it is customary to finish the sleeve portions not by using this press, but by using a puff finishing machine that specializes in threading rod-shaped sleeves.

Therefore, in the past, automatic press machines with upper and lower trowels and puff machines for sleeves were produced and sold separately.
Cleaning companies purchase these devices separately and install them in their factories. First, suits and coats are pressed using a pressing machine with a trowel, and then sleeves are finished using a special sleeve puffing machine. I needed a procedure to do it. Of course, even for a single item of laundry, separate finishing machines must be used for the body and sleeves, which means that each machine has its own heat source and operating means for supplying and discharging steam and hot air. For cleaning companies that purchase these equipment, not only do they need extra equipment costs, but they also require extra space within the factory, and the work process is wasteful and inefficient. However, there is a problem in that the cost is inevitably high.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

In view of the above-mentioned problems with the conventional technology, this idea was created by attaching a sleeve stand to one corner of a press machine with a trowel that supplies and exhausts steam and hot air to the upper and lower trowels.
When finishing laundry with sleeves such as suits and coats for pants and skirts, the machine can be switched to supply and exhaust steam and hot air from inside the machine towards the sleeve stand. This machine allows for efficient pressing and puff finishing of all laundry items.

〔Example〕

Next, the press machine according to this invention will be described with reference to a preferred embodiment shown in the drawings.As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the press body 1 has a frame 2.
A lower iron 4 is fixed on a table 3 supported above, and an upper iron 5, which is paired with the lower iron, is supported by a handle arm 6 pivotally supported above the rear part of the frame 2 so as to be openable and closable. There is.

A steam generator (not shown) is provided within the frame 2, and a steam supply pipe 7 and a steam drain pipe 8 are connected to the upper trowel 5 from this equipment. On the other hand, on the lower surface of one side of the table 3, there is provided a switching box 13 between a hot air blowing duct 11 and an exhaust duct 12 connected from the blower 9a and the air intake 9b of the blower 10 arranged at the rear of the frame 2. A supply/exhaust duct 14 from the blower 10 is connected from this switching box 13 to the inside of the lower iron 4. Also, steam is supplied to the lower iron 4 from the steam generator in the frame 2 through a pipe (not shown) in the same manner as the upper iron 5.

At the front of one side of the table 3, there is a hollow sleeve stand 15, which is cylindrical in shape with a closed end and has a number of through holes 16 on its surface, and is fixed in a horizontal position as shown by the solid line in Fig. 3 when in use. , is attached with the base end of the sleeve stand rotatable so that it rotates in the downward direction shown in FIG. 4 when not in use. The armrest 15 has a proximal opening 17 bent in an L-shape in the longitudinal direction of the armrest 15, and a bracket 18 is attached to the opening 17, with the rear end of the bracket 18 extending along the horizontal axis. 19, it is rotatably attached to the side surface of the table 3. When press finishing suits and coats with the press body 1, it is desirable to fix the sleeve stand 15 in a horizontal position as shown by the solid line in Fig. 3 and use it as a puff stand, so it is fixed in a horizontal position. When doing so, hold the tip of the armrest 15 and rotate it around the horizontal axis 19, align the locking hole 20 formed at the tip of the bracket 18 with the locking hole 21 of the table 3, and screw in the set screw 22. This fixes the bracket 18 in that position.

A hot air duct 24 and a steam supply pipe 25 are connected to the bracket 18 of the armrest 15, which is branched from a switching valve 23 provided in a part of the supply/exhaust duct 14 connected from the switching box 13 to the lower iron 4. By switching this switching valve 23 as necessary, the upper and lower irons 4 and 5 of the press body 1 can be
Steam and hot air to be sent to the sleeve table 15 are sent into the sleeve stand 15, and forced exhaust air drawn into the blower 10 from the upper and lower irons 4 and 5 flows from the sleeve table 15 toward the blower 10.

The sleeve stand 15 is used by covering the outside with a cloth bag (not shown). When in use, the sleeve of a suit or the like is passed through the tip of the sleeve stand 15 and the switching valve 23 is closed.
In the state in which the sleeves are switched, the sleeves are pulled well to bring them into close contact with the surface of the sleeve stand while steam is supplied and blown out from the through holes 16, and then hot air is sent to smooth out the wrinkles in the fabric. Finally, operate the switching petal switch 26 provided on the bottom surface of the frame 2 of the main body 1 to reverse the blower 10,
The air in the sleeve stand 15 is forcibly discharged through the hot air duct 24, and the moisture adhering to the fabric is surely removed to complete the finishing.

As mentioned above, the present invention is characterized in that a sleeve stand is attached to a part of the press machine with a trowel, and the steam and hot air from the press body can be switched and used in the direction of the sleeve stand. The mounting direction and mounting condition can be selected as appropriate. In the above embodiment, the sleeve stand 15 is rotatably connected to the side of the press body at its base end, and is fixed in a horizontal position when in use, and only the press body is used when not in use. Although it was designed to be rotated downward so as not to cause any trouble, FIG. 5 and subsequent figures show different embodiments.

In the example shown in FIG. 5, the base end bracket 18 of the sleeve stand 15 is
The rear end is pivotally attached to a bearing 27 protruding from the side surface of the table 3 by a vertical shaft 28, so that the sleeve stand 15 can pivot about the vertical shaft 28 in a horizontal state. In this case, the sleeve stand 15 rotates toward the front of the table 3 as shown by the solid line when in use, and pivots backwards as shown by the chain line when not in use, so as not to interfere with the use of only the press body 1. be able to.

In the example shown in FIG. 6, the base end bracket 18 of the armrest 15 in a horizontal state is connected so as to be slidable along a guide groove 29 provided on the side surface of the table 3, so that the armrest 15 can be moved during use. move it forward,
It is designed to be moved backwards when not in use.

In all of the above embodiments, the base end is connected so that it can rotate or slide with respect to the body so that the setting position of the armrest is different when it is in use and when it is not in use. The base 15 of the base 15 does not necessarily have to be movable relative to the machine body; for example, in the state shown in the embodiment of FIG. It may be fixed to. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 7, the sleeve stand 15 does not necessarily need to be provided on the front side of the table 3; for example, the sleeve stand 15 may be placed vertically at an appropriate position such as at the rear of the machine where it does not interfere with the use of the press body 1. It may also be fixed upright.

[Effect of idea]

As mentioned above, this invention has a sleeve stand attached to the side of the body of a dry cleaning press equipped with a trowel, and is configured so that the supply and exhaust of steam and hot air from the press body can be switched to the sleeve stand. A single press machine can also perform puff finishing for sleeves if necessary, which not only makes finishing work more efficient, but also saves space in the factory by allowing one machine to double as two machines. can be used effectively,
It has the advantage of providing a good working environment. In addition, this invention not only attaches a sleeve stand to the press body, but also allows the sleeve stand to be used for both the supply and exhaust of steam and hot air from the press body. This has the effect that the extra equipment costs that would otherwise be incurred by requiring two separate machines can be reduced to just one equipment, and a significant improvement in equipment costs can be expected.
