To all whom itvmag concern: I I
Be it knownthat' I, jPAUL' LUNes'rR'As,;a citizen of the United S tates,- residing'at the city of St. 'Louis, in the State of,Mis-
souri, have invented certain "newandluse ful Improvements in Clothes Drying Apparatus, fication. V I i 1 II I This invention relates to thefart offdry ing clothes and the like, and has-for-it's object the provision of an apparatus whereby the drying may bev effected "without any. shrinkage or wrinkling of the. 'clothe's. This invention may be employed advan tag eously in laundries, aswell as in clean ing'and dyeing establishments. Hitherto,
in drying clothes the old method, more or less shrinkage hasoccurred, the shrinkage being especially pronounced inthe subsequent d'rying of clothes which have been freshlydyed. In dryingIIby the oldmeth-f od's, considerable wrinkling has, also, fo
curred, especially along the seams The present" invention minimizes or practically eliminates shrmkageand wr nkling, jso
that the clothes after drying p sent, a
- smooth and, finished appearance, rendering unnecessary any ironing LOIWPIGSSijIlgVeX cept where creasing is customarily resorted to, as for'instance, 1n the pressing of a pair of trousers. {The most tediouspart 0f.
the operation of ironing or pressing ,con- 'sists in'the smoothing out of'wr1n'kles,.and
erator is relieved of this" burden.
.The invention consists generally in'pror' viding a hollow dummy form of yieldable material on which the clothes are placed,
and which is then inflated to a suitable-pres Sure, and intained thereat while the clothes aredrying.
In the accompanying drawings form'- Jing partofthis specification, in which like 7 parts numbers of referencepdenote like wherever they occur,
Y Figure 1 is a viewdepicting one embo'dii ment of this invention as employed in dry ing a pair of trousers; and
placedover a hollow dummy form 2, shaped ofwhich the following'is' a speci'- i' I I I I a core around which.ithasbeenlmoldedythe'f- I sends iflmaylbe. brought together, and sealed The Imethedfof at the waist end.
by meansof-Ithepresent invention the op Figure 2 is a sectional v ew on the line:
' ten in t e was; The form2is 'rfrmed'or el astie material, beingpreferablt moldedof rubber,", having its lower end: orc-the bottom w I PAUL LUNGSTRAS, or,s:r,;1.o 1s, 1'vrissoU-RI,}AssIG oR To nnnes'rnns DYEING *AND of its leg closed, and its upper [or waist end 40 ewe facilitate withdrawal of the I form 2 romi the core on which it"is 'rriolde d. After [withdrawal of the form. 2 from the in any: suitable manner;
sea1ing;adoptedin the p'resent instanceconsists in placing opposing bars ,5 over each of th ppo n n and p mpi ihe' endsAJbetWee'n the bars-5 by means of clamps". 6.' [The means for attaching the bag 2to a supplier of inflating "fluid, such as compressed air, may be embodied in ayalve 7, which may be of thewellknown form such as is attachedto the inner {tubes 50f automobile tires, an'dwhich may ,be fat- 'tached to the-bag 2 in the same .manner'.
The valve7 ,may beattached to the bag 2 at any suitable point'thereon not covered by the trousers, being preferably "located The procedureisv I i I trousers l to be dried are pulled :overthe as follows The ao deflated form 2 and buttoned. I Compressed air-is then supplied from any's'uitableisource through thevalve *z tothei'nterior; Gram;
' forfrn' 2, inflating the form,2' and: exerting pressure therefrom" against the jinnerpsides .of the, enclosingtrousers, rod iing ap proirimatelyequal tension v on zthejc'loth different directions. Thef rnostflsuitable air pressure, as determined by experiment, is approximately fivepounds to the, square inch. -The drying operation may be'speeded:
in' anysuita bl e manner, as for instance',-by'
the applicationi'of heat, by drying in a j vacuum, orby a-combination of both heat.
andvacuumdrying. The tension is fairly uniformly distributed over the cloth by this method, and wrinklingjis prevented. Fur- I I "thermore, shrinkage is mitigated,- or prac- I tically prevented, the trousers drying with- I out distortion The" elastic nature of the form 2 and'of the: fluid within causes the intimate'following'of theoutside surface 0f the form 2 into theirregularities in the inner surface of. the cloth of the trousers, which intimate. contact prevents slippage i of thetrousers on the form while drying.
It will be manifest that shrinkage in all directions is thus prevented. When the drying operation has been completed, the valte 7 is opened, thus permitting the e'seipe (if the air confined in the form 2 and deflating the latter. In the event it is desired to-effeet a quick and eflicient removal of the fluid from the form the upper end 4 there-- of may be opened by releasing the bars held by the clamps 6. The trousers may then be removed.
Clothes which have been subjected to the foregeingtreatment present a smooth fin: ished appearance, and no ironing is 's'ary, except where creasing is desired. F e1 thri'nore, any glossiriess, 's'ffc'h as is tina'void abiy produced by ressing or ironing in the usual Way, cannot result the new marred herein as faith. The 'tfeatme'nt is different kinds of garments.
Hating thus described this invention, I hereby reserve the benefit of all changes in form, arran ement, order, or use of arts, as it is evident that ma minor chz'thgs be made therein without departing- .from the spirit of this invention 01' the scope of the following claims.
I claim:
' 1. A clothes drying apparatus comprising an inflatable garment-fitting body having one end open, a valve thru which the said body is inflated, and means for sealing the said open end of the body during the period of inflation, said means being removable to open the said end to eflect the quick removal of the inflating medium from the inside of the said body.
2. A clothes drying itppafiitus comprising a hence distehs'ible may shaped to fit into and to conform to the garment supported thereon; having one end open; an inlet valve thru which the said-body is inflated, and means for clamping the body together it's'said epen end to seal the body during the period of inflation, said clamping means being releasable to open the said body at said end to effect the quick removal of the inflating medium from the "inside of the 'sa-ic'l body. y
3. A tituser's' drying apparatus cofnptising a toilet era-sue fer-m shaped to fit into the tr'oii'set's' and having its upper end epes, an mat e-ween said are tape-"mat inflating and deflating thereof, a pair 0 oppgi'siiig bars disposed on relatiyely opposite of the form and adjacent the open end t ereof, and Clas s for seem-mg the tars togather to damp the open end of the said fonnytheretetween and, thus seal tlle' o en? mg during the period of inflation, said clamps :Qeieasable' to pen the forth at said end t6 effect the quick remeval off the inflating m'dil'i'ih from the inside of the said form. I
4. A ei thes drying a paratus comp'ris ing a hon-ow distehsible body of a shape to fit into afid to Conform to the garni efitssuppelted thereon and valved member thru tvhich it may be inflated deflated, said body being provided wv'itha large openmg to eff ec a quick removal of theintiati'ri'g mediumfmm the 'i'riside' of the body, a releasable clamp engaged about the said body adjacent the enlarged op'ningfand being operable for drawin the ed espf the opening together to seal the opening during the period of inflation.
In testimony whereof I hereunto afiix my signature;
