Description

Steam ironing device for vehicle seat {STEAM IRONING APPARATUS FOR VEHICLE SEAT COVER}

The present invention relates to a steam ironing apparatus for a vehicle seat, and more particularly, to a steam ironing apparatus for a vehicle seat that minimizes water generated from an ironing unit by efficiently recovering water generated in the apparatus during a steam supply process.

In general, automobile seats are finished by installing a headrest and various adjustment devices on the seat, and then covering the outer circumference of the seat with a fabric or leather cover.At this time, a large amount of wrinkles are formed on the fabric or leather cover, so to remove them. For this, a separate wrinkle removal operation is performed.

Conventionally, in order to remove the wrinkles of the fabric or leather cover covered on the outer circumference of the seat, a simple method of removing wrinkles by a grooming method is used by spraying steam along the cover while the operator holds the steam sprayer in hand.

Therefore, the wrinkles of the cover on the outer circumference of the seat could not be completely removed, as well as waste of manpower and working time due to the dependence on manual work, which lowered the efficiency of work. Because of this, the defect rate of the sheet due to damage to the cover was high, and there was also a situation where there was a concern for the safety accident of the worker.

Therefore, in order to compensate for the above problems, a steam spray stand device has been devised that evenly sprays steam by a predetermined distance from a fabric paper or leather cover covered on an outer circumference of a car seat.

However, in such a steam sprayer device, moisture generated when the steam is sprayed may leak out to the top of the sheet through the spray hole, causing stains on the seat cover, and by ironing away a predetermined distance without contacting the sheet surface directly. There was a problem that the wrinkle removal effect was insignificant.
