Definitions

  • This invention relates to pressing machines, such as are used for pressing garments or fabrics of any kind.
  • rlhe object of the invention is to provide a pressing machine embodying improved means for applying steam to the work for moistening it and for raising its'nap, and
  • a ⁇ further object of the invention is toprovide a machine which evenly distributes the steam across the work and ⁇ con'servessteam, and which 'is of simple construction and convenient to operate.
  • the invention comprises ⁇ the pressing machine hereinafter described and claimed.
  • Figure 1 is an end elevation, showing the press-open;
  • Fig.- 2 is a detail sectional elevation onv a larger scale,
  • the machine shown in the drawings comprises a suitable ⁇ frame l near the front of which is a column 2 supporting the lower pressing member 3, which 1s of common form, being provided with a hollow heating chamber 4 connected to a suitable source of steam supply, the upper wall 5 of said chamber separating itfrom a combined heating and vacuum chamber 6 above which is the perforated plate 7 covered with padding 8. Steam may be admitted to said chamber 6 and discharged through thev perforated plate and padding and distributed to a garment or other article lying on the padding byl /opening a valve 9 controlling the flow of/steam through passages 10 from chamber Specification ofLetters Patent.
  • valve may be of any suitable form, for exam le as shown in the patent of William E. ndree for garment press, Patent No. 1,368,684, of Feb. 15, 1921 filed June 7, 1916. -As it forms no part o the present invention no further description of .said valve is necessary than to state that 1t 1s operated by raising or lowering a rod 11 operated by a foot treadle 12.
  • Chamber 6 may also communicate with a passage' 13 connected by pine 14 to a suitaable source of vacuum or suction, such as a constantly operating fan or air pump 14, the passage being controlled by a valve 15 operated by rod 16, asin the Andree application already referred to.
  • a valve 15 operated by rod 16, asin the Andree application already referred to.
  • a column 17 forming a support for the lever 18, one arm of which carries the upper pressing member or head 19 balanced by a -weight 20 on the other arm.
  • the head may be advanced or depressed into pressing relation with the lower pressing member by an suitable operating mechanism, such as t e two toggle links 21 connectedA by 'a link 22 to a lever 23 pivoted in the frameI and connected by a link 24 to a foot treadle 25.
  • the head is and pipe 14,
  • the head is of substantially the same form as the lower pressing member, being provided with a heating chamber through which steam is circulated from the supply pipe 27 through pipe 28 to said chamber thence by way of pipe 29- to the outlet pipe 30; 4No padding need be used on the upper pressing member, whose lower face can be aXis of pipes 31 andy its connected pipe members are suitlframe.
  • a continuous press plate 38 which may be a 'comparatively thin metal plate riveted or otherwise secured to the p ipe
  • a flexible diaphragm consisting of a cloth or fabric sheet 39 which may be removably held in pla/ce by a spring ring or frame 40 snapped into place as shown in Fig.'3.
  • the space or cavity 41 between the press plate and diaphragm communicates withthe ports or openings 37 of the live steam pipe and steam maybe supplied to said space by opening the norspring pressed valve 42 in the supply pipe.
  • This valve is operated by pulling over a lever 43 connected by a wire. or cable 44 to a bell crank lever 45 engaging the valve stem.
  • the supplemental frame may be suitably counterbalanced so as to be more easily moved by the operator, either by a suitable spring or by the counterweight 45 on the arm 47 connected to said frame.
  • This counterweight, or the spring may be adjusted to hold the supplemental frame stationary in any position in which it is placed, but preferably slightly overbalances 'the frame so that normally it will always rise and follow the upper dpressing member when the latter is elevated.
  • the garment or fabric to be pressed is arranged on the lower ressing member in the usual manner.
  • plemental frame is close to the garment the valve operating handle 43 is moved over to the left, thereby opening valve 42 causing a flow of steam from the supply pipe to the live pipe section of the supplemental frame pressure applied to said pressing member in i "the usual manner.
  • the press plate 38 is of thin metal so that the heat of the upper pressing member is ⁇ quickly transferred through said plate to the garment to elfectively press the same.
  • the pressing members are then'released and the steam valve 42 again opened to apply a quick flash of steam to the work for raising its nap. If desired the operator can then take hold of ⁇ the supplemental frame and move it quickly downward one or more times into contact with the work to pat the same and raise the steam therefrom, but without the necessity of resorting to a special paddle or tool for this purpose.
  • the steam and moisture on the work and in, on or near the padding of the lower pressing member may be then withdrawn through the lower ressing member by suction, as already refldrred to.
  • the supplemental frame When the upper pressing member is elevated the supplemental frame will also rise to follow it.
  • the machine can consequently be operated in exactly the same manner as ordinary machines not equipped with a supplemental frame, and the operator can in effect forvet that the supplemental frame is present.
  • the supplemental frame can always be resorted t0,.fand usually is, for the 'purpose of applying steam to the work or for patting the same to cause the steam to rise therefrom.
  • a pressing machine comprising a lower pressing member for supporting the garment, an upper pressing member cop erating therewith, means separate from said pressing members and -lying between the same for discharging steam upon an article upon the lower pressing member, and steam supply means therefor.
  • a pressing machine comprising relatively movable upper and lower pressing members, a separate and movable steaming device adapted to be adjusted to a position over and adjacent an article upon the lower member and from which steam may be discharged thereon, and means for supplying steam thereto.
  • a pressing machine comprising relatively movable pressing members, a separate hollow pervious device adapted to be moved to a positionover and adjacent an article between said members, and means for supplying steam to the chamber in said device.
  • pressing machine comprising relatively movable ressing members, and a separate hollow evice located between said members and movable toward and from one thereof and connected to a source of steam supply.
