OF DALLAS, TEXAS.

PRESSING BOARD.

Application filed October 2, 1923, Serial No. 666,150.

To (/ZZ whom may concern.

Be it known that I, JOHN LUDwIe, S12,

a citizen of the United States, residing at Dallas, in the county of Dallas and State of 6 Texas, have invented a new and useful Pressing Board, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a pressing plate or the like, the primary object of the invention being to provide novel means for steaming and reconditioning cloth material.

An important object of the invention is to provide a plate of this character having needles and openings disposed adjacent to the needles, which needles are designed to pierce the cloth under operation, while the openings direct steam to the cloth at points adjacent to the needles to recondition the cloth.

lVith the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter de scribed and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, may be made within the scope of what is claimed, with out departing from the spirit of the invention.

Referring to the drawing:

Figure 1 is a plan view of a pressing plate constructed in accordance with the invention.

Figure 2 is an enlarged fragmental view disclosing a portion of the presser plate.

Figure 3 is a sectional View taken on line 3-3 of Figure 2.

Figure 4 is a sectional view taken on line H of Figure 2.

Referring to the drawing in detail, the reference character 5 designates the body portion of the pressing plate which is formed preferably of sheet metal and formed with a plurality of cut out portions 6 providing openings to permit steam to pass from one side of the plate to the other.

These portions 6 are preferably formed Renewed May 12, 1925.

by stamping out portions of the sheet metal in the formation of the needles 7. These needles are arranged in spaced relation with each other tln'oughout the entire surface of the plate, the openings being arranged in proximity thereto, so that when the needles pierce the cloth and steam is admitted to the plate, steam will pass through the openings of the plate and through the cloth at points adjacent to the needles and openings formed thereby.

While I have shown and described a pressing plate, it is to be understood that the plate may be secured in position on a press ing machine by any suitable and well known means such as clamps or the like.

In the use of the device, the presser plate is positioned on the usual steam pressing machine now in use, so that the steam on its passage to the plate will be controlled in the usual and well known manner, eliminating the necessity of making alterations in the pressing machine construction to apply the device.

It might be further stated that the needles 7 will have a tendency to remove the shine from clothing by allowing the steam to pass directly through the cloth.

From the foregoing it will also be noted that due to the construction of the pressing board clothing or cloth material may be pressed by a machine eliminating any possibility of the clothing or articles becoming shiny, due to the pressing.

I' claim A presser plate for presser boards comprising a thin sheet of material, said sheet having a plurality of triangular openings therein, needles projecting from the sheet, the base of each needle being merged into one edge of an associated opening, said needles being of a size and shape correspond ing to that defined by the edges of the associated opening.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto affixed my signature.

JOHN LUDWIG, sR.
