"til ll'lilil l STATEd PATENT OFFICE ANroN seamen, or enrol-rec, ILLINOIS, Assrenon roaosnrn sewn/inn, F Ch cago, ILLINOIS.
SUBIOBT FOB PRESS ING,
Application filed (Hitcher 27, 192%, Serial No 7%,095.
To all ec/wmmay concern:
Be it known that T, AN'roN ZEMAN, a citizen ot theUnited States residing at Chicago in the county of Cool: and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Supports :tor Pressing Irons oii which the Following is a specifis cation.
My invention has reference to a support for a pressing iron and particularly the por tion thereof which affords treedom of movement of the iron in the pressing operation.
The principal objects of my invention are to provide an improved support tor a pressins; iron: to permit unrestricted. freedom of n'iovement of the iron during the pressing operation: to provide apivoted track which permits longitudinal movement and facilitates lateral swinging; movement at the iron;
and in general, to provide a simple and sub-,
stantial support tor a pressing iron which facilitates the operation of pressing.
On the drawings:
Fig, 1 is a trout perspective view of a pressing device embodying my improve ments;
Fig. 2 a top view of the track and carriage for supporting the iron;
Fig. 3 an enlarged fragmentary sectional view on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2; and
Fig. 4 a fragmentary sectional view on the line 4:"4: of Fig. 3.
Referring to the drawings, the reference numeral 1 indicates a pressing table upon which a pressing buck 2 of any desired form may be mounted. At each end of the table and near the back are sockets 8 for supporting standards 1 and each of these stand ards has a bracket 5 extending forwardly from the upper end and terminating in a bearing 6 which is arranged in alignment with the correspondin bearing of the other bracket. A track is arranged between the brackets 5 and comprises the spaced rails in the form of bars with guard plates 8 secured to the outer sides thereot and extending up above the upper edges of the rails or bars 7 for a purpose hereinafter indicated. These rails or bars 7 are held in proper spaced parallel relation by cross members 9 to which the ends of the rails or bars *4 are secured in any suitable manner as by means of the rivets 10 and these cross members 9, intermediate of the rails 7 are provided with outwardly extending pins 11 which are engaged respectively in the bear ings 6 so thatthe track is capable otlateral tilting movement. i l
A. carriage 12 is interposed between the rails or bars '1' and provided with an upwardly extending centrally apertured hub 13 with a lateral; projection 14 at each side, and in each. projection a pin 15 is tired so as to serve as a spindle for a wheel 16 which is mounted to rotate thereon and held in place in any suitable manner, as for example, by the cotter pin 17. The axes of the wheels 16 are in alignment so as to afford a pivotal mounting for the carriage 12, and these wheels operate along the upper edges oi. the rails or bars 7, being confined thereon by the upwardly projecting edges of the plates 8. hiloreover, the carriage 12 is termed at opposite sides with elongated side plates or wings 18 which are spaced apart a suitable distance to permit freedom of operation of the carriage along the track and at the same time serve'to prevent displacement of the carriage on the track, particularly a twisting movement which would throw the wheels 16 out of alignment with the track, and these side wings 18 have portions intermediate of their ends extending down below the rails or bars 7 to accommodate outwardly extending pins 19 which project respectively under the rails or bars 7 and serve to prevent accidental displacement of the carriage from the track.
For suspending the pressing iron from the carriage 12 a tube 20 has its upper end inserted in the aperture of the hub 13 and secured in place by the set screw 35. This end may be further accomplished by flaring the extremeupper end of the tube as shown. This tube encloses a spring 21 which carries the weight of the pressing iron. The upper end of the spring 21 is formed with a hook which is detachably engaged with an eye 22 on the lower end of a plug 23 whichfits into the upper end of the tube 20, and this plug is formed with an annular flange 24 which extends over and engages the upper end of the hub 13. The lower end of the-spring 21 is secured to the upper end of a tubularv stem 25 which slides through a bushing 26 which is secured by the set screw 27 or in any other convenient manner, in the lower end of the tube 20, and a rod 28 is adjusts ably secured in the tubular stem 25 by a hand screw 29 which has a threaded engagement with a boss at the lower end of the tubular stem 25 and clamps against the rod 28. The pressing iron, which is indicated at 30, may beof any suitable type, and is detachably connected in the usual manner to the lower end of a goose-neck or hookshaped hanger 31 which is horizontally pivoted at 32 to the lower end of the rod 28.
From the foregoing it will be observed that the presing iron 30 may be adjusted as to elevation by releasing the clamping screw 29 and adjusting the rod 28 in the tubular stem 25 as desired so that the iron is adapted to operate properly at any desired elevation, and in any position of adjustment the weight of the iron is carried by the spring 21. It is to be noted particularly that an extremely eflicient universal pivoting or swinging support of the iron is afforded by reason of the pivoting of the opposite ends of the track to the brackets 5 and the pivoting of the carriage on the wheels 16. and by reason of the carriage being supported by a single wheel at each side, the carriage readily follows the movement of the iron in a direction lengthwise of the track.
For limiting the movement of the carriage along the track, stops83 ma be emnlo ed, these preferably consisting of a rubber bumper which is secured by a cap screw 34 to the top of the rails 7 in the desired position.
"While I have shown and described my invention in a preferred form, I am aware that various changes and modifications may be made without departin; from the principles of my invention, the scope of which is to be determined by the appended claims.
I claim as my invention:
1. In a pressing device, the combination of a pair of supports, a track member extending between and pivoted to the supports and having spaced rails positioned respectively at opposite sides of the axis of the pivots, a carriage interposed between the rails and having supporting wheels operating therealong, and a hanger carried by the carriage and having a yielding connection with the pressing iron.
2, In a support for a pressing iron, the combination of a track, a carriage supported bv and operable along the track, and a pressing iron resiliently supported by the carriage, said carriage being pivoted to oscillate on an axis transverse to the track and the track being pivoted for oscillation on an axis at right angles to the pivotal axis of the carriage,
3. In a device of the class described, the combination of a pair of spaced parallel rails. end members connecting the rails, supports having the end members pivoted thereto midway between the rails, a carriage inte posed between the and having a hanger depending therefrom, a wheel rotatably mounted on the carriage at each side of the han er and operable respectively along the adjoining track, guides at opposite sides of the carriage for holding the wheels in alignment with the track, and a pressing iron resiliently supported by the hanger.
