TAIL-HOLDING DEVICE FOR SHIRT-PRESSING MACHINES.

a lication filed May 12,

This invention relates to shirt ironing machines and has for its object a particularly simple and efiicient means for holding the tails of the shirt after the shirt has been stretched in ironing position on the table or buck.

The invention consists in the novel features and in the combinations and constructions hereinafter set forth and claimed.

In describing this invention reference is had to the accompanying drawings in which like numerals designate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a pressing machine embodying this invention.

Figures 2 and 3 are respectively a plan view and a front elevation of the ironingtable or buck.

This invention comprises, generally, a tail holder mounted on and extending transversely of the ironing table or buck near one end thereof or near the end remote from the neck band clamp, which tail holder is for the most part located below the surface of the padding on the buck.

1 designates the ironing table or buck mounted on a suitable frame 2.

3 is a press head movable toward and from the buck and carried in any suitable manner as by a yoke 4 pivoted at 5 to the frame and actuated b any suitable mechanism unnecessary to escribe herein as the construction of such mechanism is well known in the art.

6 is the padding on the buck, and 7 the neck band clamp of any suitable construction.

The buck is rectangular in general form and provided with cut-outs 8 at the corners thereof at which the shoulders of a shirt are located when being ironed. The padding is composed of sections, the main section terminating short of the end of the buck remote from the neck band holder and the other section 9 being detachably mounted on the face of the buck, and being spaced apart from the main section forming a channel at 10 in which the tail holder 11 is arranged.

This section 9 is detachablv mounted in position by spring means inc uding spring arms as 12 extending under the table or buck near opposite edges thereof, and itrictionally engaged with under-marginal surfaces at is on the buck.

1926. Serial No. 108,458.

The tail holder 10 consists of a suitable.

base or backing having prongs projecting upwardly, the prongs terminating near or slightly above the plane of the face of the padding. This tail holder is usually card in mounted on a suitable back as 15.

n operation, the operator after arranging and stretching the shirt or the front of the shirt on the buck l and in so doing pulling against the end edge of the buck, and the neck band clamp, presses the tail of the shirt on the prongs of holder 11 so that the shirt is held stretched while the press head is coming down on the. work to iron it. 1

What I claim is:- 1. An ironin table for pressing machines, said ironing ta le having a tail holder extending transversely thereof near one end of the table, the table having a padding thereon, the tail holder being located between the ends of the padding whereby the padding is located on opposite sides of the tail holder and the tail holder is embedded in the padding, and the tail holder being located with its upper surface near the level of the surface of the pudding.

2. An ironing table for pressing machines having a padding thereon consisting of sec-- tions, one section terminating short of the end of the table and the other section being located at the endof the table and detachably mounted thereon and spaced apart from the former section forming a transverse channel on the face of the ironing table, and a tail holder located in said channel.

8. An ironing table for said pressing machines having a padding thereon consisting of sections, one section terminating short of the end of the table, and the other section being located at the end of the table and detachably mounted thereon and spaced apart from the former section forming a transverse channel on the face of the ironing table, and a tail holder located in said channel, said tail holder having upwardly extending prongs terminating near the plane of the upper surface or the padding.

4, An ironing table for shirt pressing machines having a padding thereon consisting of sections, one section terminating short of the end of the table and the other section being located at the end of the table and detachably mounted thereon and spaced apart from the former section forming a transverse lid channel on the face of the ironing table, and a tail holder located in said channel, the movable section having means for clamping it to the table.

5. An ironing table for shirt pressing machines having a padding thereon consisting of sections, one section terminating short of the end of the table and the other section being located at the end of the table and detachably mounted thereonand spaced apart from the former section forming a transverse channel on the face of the ironing table, and a tail holder located in said channel, the removable section having spring means for engaging the underside of the table and clamping it on the face of the table, said spring means including spring leaves frictionally engaging the under-face of the ironing table.

6. The combination with an ironing table, of a padding therefor having means for securing it to the table including a leaf spring arm rigid with the padding and having a resilient portion arranged to extend around the edge of the table and under the same to frictionally engage the under side of the table.

7. The combination with an ironing table of a padding therefor having means for securing it to the table including a leaf spring arm rigid with the padding and having a resilient portion arranged to extend around the edge of the table and under the same to frictionally engage the under side of the table, the resilient portion being com aratively long and engaging the under si e of the table at a point remote in a horizontal direction from the point where the arm is socured to the padding.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto signed my name, at Syracuse, in the coimty of Onondaga, and in the State ofNew York, this 26th day of firil, 1926.
