NON-GLOSSING SPONGING PRESS-CLOTH.
Specication of Letters Patent. Patented Dec. 31, 1918.
Application filed July 5, 1918. Serial No. 243,453.
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, ARTHUR H.F1scHE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Indianapolis, in the county of Marion and State of Indiana, have invented a new and useful Non-Glossing Sponging Press-Cloth, of 'which the following is a specification, Areference being had to the accompanying drawings and to lthe letters and iigures of reference marked thereon.
This invention relates to an appliance that is designed to be used instead of the well known press-cloth commonly employed by tailors land those who press garments or other articles.
In the operations of pressing fabrics it has been found necessary to place a cloth or layer of muslin or drilling upon the fabric or garment and then use the pressing.- iron or goose upon the layer, but it is Well known that in such operations there is a tendency to cause the fabric to become glossy, this being aggravated when the gar ment or portions thereof already have a shiny surface. The primary object of this invention is |to provide a press-cloth which may be used as above described when pressing fabrics without causing or producing a glossy surface on the fabric, another object being to provide a non-glossing sponging press-cloth which shall be adapted to contribute Ito the preservation of the nap of the fabric or garment which may be subjected to pressing operations, and obviate the necessity of using the faulty presscloth hitherto made use of. A further object is to provide an improved press-cloth which shall be of such construction as to be not only highly efficient but shall be strong, durable and economical in use and not be costly to manufacture.
With the above-mentioned and other objects in view, the invention consists in a sheet or layer of material of a porous nature adapted to permit steam, generated in pressing operations, to circulate when the sheet is upon the fabric operated on, the sheet or layer being provided on its upper face with ribs to hold the pressing-iron off from direct contact with the sheet or layer, a cover for the ribs being arranged upon the latter to guide the pressing-iron on the ribs and prevent the latter from being scorched, the cover being of a relatively less porous character than the sheet or layer, so as to be enabled to retard the escape of the generated steam or vapor. The` invention consists also further in the parts and combinations and arrangements of parts as hereinafter particularly described and finally pointed out in the accompanying claims.
Referring to the drawings,-Figure 1 is a top plan of the new press-cloth as preferably constructed, a portion of the cover thereof being turned back to expose the essential features of the invention; Fig. 2 is an end view of the press-cloth; Fig. Sis a fragmentary top plan of the press-cloth minus its cover; Fig. 4: is a fragmentary transverse section of the press-cloth; Fig. 5 is a frag mentary plan of the under side of the presscloth; Fig. 6 is a perspective view of a wel] known gas iron for pressing fabrics and shown in operative position in relation to the invention to illustrate a function of the improved construction in press-cloths; and. Fig. 7 is a fragmentary perspective view of the principal part of the new press-cloth.
Similar reference characters in the diiferent figures of the drawings indicate corresponding elements, parts or features hereafter referred to inl detail.
The new press-cloth comprises a sheet or layer 1 which is composed of woolen cloth which preferably is of the character of that vcommonly known as wool undercollar cloth, the sheet therefore being of a spongy consistency and having soft or rough faces. The sheet is made in various sizes, convenient dimensionsbeing nine by twentyfour inches, the edges being left unfinished. The under side of the Sheet or layer is left in its natural condition or practically so, in order to insure practically continuous contact with the articles to be pressed. The upper side of the sheet or layer is provided with a plurality of ribs or tracks 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9, these preferably being arranged longitudinally of the sheet and spaced a suitable distance apart, a satisfactory result being obtained when the spaces are approximately one-half inch or less in width, and the ribs may suitably be approximately three-fourths of an inch or less in width and are secured by any suitable means upon the sheet or layer. A cover 10 is provided which preferably is composed of material of the character of the well known white unbleached drilling and corresponds` in plan dimensions to the like dimensions of the sheet 1, so as to lie flat upon and cover the ribs, the cov-er beingsuitably secured adjacent't'o 'one'of the longer edges thereovfnto the sheet or layer adjacent to one of vits longer edges, pref-- erably by means of a ron? of.. stitching` 11. The ribs or strips of cloth are preferably secured to the Sheet 1 by means of rows" of stitching 12 and 13 to secure each stripl in place. Each rib is preferably composed yofthe material of which the sheet or layer 1 is composed. L
In practical use the article to be pressed is placed upon an ironing board or press board 14 as is eustomary,zand an article 15 which is conveniently illustrated in Fig. 6 is laid flat upon the press board' as usual'. The plain side of theneW press-cloth is laid upon the article 15', so that the ribs shall be upon the upper side of the sheet orlayer 1 and the cover 10 upon the ribs. -Water is used with a spongeA as hitherto, and' thev pressing.- iron 16yis placed upon the cover 10 and moved vabout thereon to obtain the' desired results, the heat from the pressing-ron causing steam or vapor tovbe generated from Copies of this Vpatent mayxbe; obtained for smooth-faced cover and the pressing-.iron from vsmoothing down the face of the fabric ongarment being pressed. e nHaving thus described the invention, What is, claimed as new. is
1. vA press-cloth includinga flexible fabric "sheet and ribs on one side of the sheet,y all composed of one and the same material, and
acovercomposed of different material and connected to the sheet to lie upon the ribs.
2. A non-glossing sponging press-cloth comprising av flexible fabric layer vhaving a plurality of flexible fabric strips and also a flexible. fabric cover secured thereto, the
strips being spaced apart and arranged bef' tween the layer'and the cover.
3. A nonglossing sponging press cloth comprising a Woolen fabric layer, a plurality ofv Woolen fabric strips spaced apart upon one side of the fabric layer and secured thereto, and a flexible covery secured to one edge portion of the fabric layer and extending over the fabric strips.
4. A sponging press-cloth including a thick and porous layer to lie upon cloth and permit circulationof steam therein,l the upper side of the layer having ribs thereon to hold the pressing iron ofi' from the layer, and a relativelyv thin and smooth cover upon the ribs to guide the pressing iron over the ribs. Y
In testimony whereof, I affix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
