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 includes an iron to which a steam circulation structure is applied to minimize water generated when steam is sprayed.

In general, a car seat is finished by installing a headrest and various adjustment devices on the seat, and then covering the outer periphery of the seat with a fabric or leather cover. A separate wrinkle removal operation is performed for this purpose.

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

Therefore, the folds of the cover on the outer periphery of the seat cannot be completely removed, and due to the dependence on manual labor, it causes waste of manpower and work time, lowering the efficiency of work, and furthermore, it is possible to evenly spray high-temperature steam over the entire upper part of the seat. Due to the damage of the cover, the defect rate of the seat was high, and there were concerns about the safety of the workers.

Therefore, in order to compensate for the above problems, a steam spraying device for evenly spraying steam at a predetermined distance from the fabric or leather cover covered on the outer periphery of the automobile seat has been devised.

However, in such a steam jet device, moisture generated when steam is sprayed can flow out to the top of the seat through the spray hole, causing stains on the seat cover. There was a problem that the wrinkle removal effect was insignificant.
