TIE-PRESS.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented a aio, 1917..
Application filed April 11, 1916. Serial No. 90,435.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that T, AUBREY MATTHEWS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Fitzgerald, in the county of Ben Hill, State of Georgia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tie-Presses; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to'tie presses, and has for its primary object to provide a simple and efiicient means for removing wrinkles from four-in-hand neck ties or c-ravats.
A further object of the invention is to provide a deviceof this character which is of extremely simple and inexpensive construction, which is composed of but few readily assembled parts, which is simple of operation, and which will prove thoroughly efficient in the attainment of the ends for which it is designed.
With these objects in view, together with s others which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the novel combination and arrangementof parts, all as will be described more fully hereinafter, illustrated in the drawings and particularly pointed out in the claims.
The invention will be best understood by reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Figure 1, is a perspective view of a tie press embodying the invention, the same being shown in operative position,
Fig. 2, is a transverse sectional View taken through the tie press and illustrating the same open,
Fig. 3, is a similar view showing the press in closed position, and
Fig. 4:, is a detail perspective view of the tie stretching or smoothing device used in carrying out the invention.
Referring now more particularly to the drawings, 5 and 6 represent separable clamping or pressing elements, for convenience in description the former being referred to as the bottom or box, and the latter the lid. These members are hingedly connected together at one of their longitudinal edges as at 7, the construction permitting of the swinging of the cover member relative to the body or box 5. A stud 8 may be arranged on the body member for engagement by a spring clasp member 9 carand bottom.
ried by the lid, whereby the lid and box may be held securely in closed position.
The upper and lower faces of the body and cover respectively are channeled as shown for the reception of cushioning or pad elements 10. These pads are secured within the channeled portions in any suitable manner, and extend throughout their length and width slightly beyond the lower and upper faces respectively of the said top From this construction it is apparent that upon moving the cover elements 6 to closed position, the pads 10 will engage at their outer faces, and a tie placed between the said faces will be tightly compressed within the device. The ends of the bottom and top members are cut away as at 11 throughout the width of the pad members carried by said elements, this construction preventing the body portions of the top or bottom pressing against the protruding portions of the tie held within the device.
The stretchingdevice shown in Fig. 4 of the drawings comprises a spring member bent intermediate its ends as at 12 and crossed as at 13 to provide stretcher arms 14, the tendency of the spring being to force the arms 14: toward each other. This stretching device may be constructed of spring wire, or of thin flat steel. This stretcher is designed to be inserted within the open end of the ordinary four-in-hand neck tie or cravat with its ends 14: close together. When the arms 14 have reached that portion of the tie wherein stretching is needed to remove the wrinkles therefrom, the tie may be slightly moistened and the handle portion of the stretcher between the crossed and bent portions 13 and 12 thereof compressed, whereupon the spring arms 14: will be forced outwardly into engagement with the cloth at the opposite longitudinal edges of the tie or cravat, stretching the cloth smooth. hen thus tightly stretched, the tie may be placed within the pressing box above described and ,the lid portion thereof forced into closed position, whereupon the tie will be firmly pressed between the cushion members 10 of the device and so held until the tie is dry. Upon removal of the tie from the presser it will'be found that the same will be free jimm wrinkles, and the stretcher may be removed from the tie. With reference to Fig. 3 of the drawing, it will be observed that the resiliency or compressibility of the pad elements 10 enables the same to firmly compress all portions of the tie placed between the bottom and top members, irrespective of the fact that the wires or arms 14 may be contained within the tie cloth.
While I have herein shown and described a particular embodiment of the invention, various changes may be made in the minor details Without departing from the spirit of the invention or exceeding the scope of the claims. I
What is claimed is:
1. V A tie press, comprising in combination, a pair of hinged recessed elements, opposing compressible pads seated in the recesses, and a device for positioning and holding ties between said pads, the corresponding edges of said elements being recessed to receive the positioning device.
2. A tie press, comprising in combination, a pair of elements having recesses formed in their opposing faces, compressible pads carried in said recesses and adapted to be wholly contained therein when the edges of the elements are brought together, and a two-armed device for positioning ties between said elements before they are compressed.
In testimony whereof, I aflix my signature, in the presence of two Witnesses.
