V LOUIS SANTENS, OF SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA IRONING DEVICE FOR THE FOLDS OF COLLARS Application filed May 26,
' In the laundering of starched 0r stiff foldover collars, it is the usual practice to first wash the collar, then to starch it, then to iron it out fiat, thereupon to dampen the collar merely along the line where the collar is to be bent over to form the fold in order to soften that part of the collar, whereupon it is folded over and given a preliminary shaping treatment by passing it through a hot tube, after which the softened edge is ironed stiff to final shape. This last step is ordinarily practiced by placing the collar over the end of an almost, but not completely, cylindrical memher with the outside fold of the collar without the cylinder, and with the inner fold of the collarwithin the cylinder, whereupon a complementary heated member is used to iron the fold down against the end of such cylindrical member.
The principal object of the inventionis to provide a cylindrical member of the kind referred to for use in folding over the collar by ironing it with less strain upon thefabric of the collar, so that there will be a substantially lesser tendency for the collar to crack.
Referring to the drawings forming a part of this specification- Fig. 1 is a plan view of an ironing device, including my improvement, v
Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view on the line,IIII of Fig. 1,
Fig. 3 is an elevation thereof, Fig. 4 is a top plan view of my novel ironmg shaper, Fig. 5 is a cross section thereof on the line V- Vof Fig.4,.-
Fig. 6 is a cross section thereof on the line 40 -VIVI of Fig.4, and
Fig. 7 is an enlargement of details shown on Fig. 2. I j p The device used for imparting the final shape to the seam or bend of the collar comprises a base 11 suitably supported by legs 12 and, in turn, supporting a cylinder-like member 13. A Valvecontrolled fuel supply pipe 14 leads to a point substantially central of the'cylinder to supply fuel for heating the ironing member 15, having a burner 16, the
from the pipe 14 through a swivel connection 18, whereby the ironing member 15 may be rotated about the swivel connection 18 and pressed down upon the upper edge of the cylinder-like member 13 by means of a handle 19.
Those in control of laundries have desired to impart to the starched, stiff, or semi-stiff turn-over collar a rolled effect at the front, but have been unable to produce such an effect at all; or, in such cases where they have been able to produce such an effect, this has been accomplished in a manner that is altogether too uneconomical for standard practice. I have found that the desired results may be accomplished easily, speedily,'and economically by the use of a device of the type described, wherein the member 13 is somewhat wider or thicker at its open ends 20 than at points intermediate thereof and substantially tapering down gradually to about the medial point 21 thereof. Ordinarily, laundries are required to handle collars varying in length from about ten (10) or eleven (11) inches to about seventeen (17) or seventeen and onehalf (17 inches, and I therefore prefer to make the member 13 about two and one-half (2 inches longer at each end than such maximum length, so that it will not be necessary to exercise too much care in placing the collar thereon. I have discovered that especially good results are obtained when the thickness of the member 13 at the medial point 21 is about one-eighth of an inch, this thickness increasing gradually toward both ends of the member for a distance of about eight and one-half (8 inches up to the points 22, to a thickness of one-fourth of an inch, and then extending at each side for a distance of about two and one-half (2 inches, this last-mentioned part being substantially of the same thickness as at the points 22. It is preferable, but, of course, not essential that the member 13 be shaped to conform to an arc of a circle and, with the dimensions given, I have found that such an arc having a diameter of about nine and threeeights (9 inches will produce the desired results.
The member 15 which co-operates with the member 13 to give the parts of the collar 109 adjacent the bend their final shape, hasv a curved indented portion 23 which co-operates with the top of the member 135 for such pur pose. I I prefer to so dimension the cut-away portion 23 that it will fit with a slight degree of play Over the widest part of the top .of the member '13 and to have the ironing member so; mounted as to be slightly movable radially. This may be accomplished bymaking the support for the swivel'connection 18 slidable by-providing acircular base '24 therefor having a circular flange held inplace by a holding-member; Qififihaving flange 27 projecting over the flange 25,
there being a slight amountot play-possible between the. inner edge of the supporting.
' member 26 and the'edge ofthe flange 25'. As
"while pushing or pulling it radially; while afresu'lt; the inside part o'f theturnedbver edge of the collarmay be finished byrotatthe handle memberJlS) intone direction,
the outside part may be finished by corresp'ondingl'y pulling 'orpushing'while rotating said handle'in the other direction. r Itis, of course, not essential that one direct10n 0t r0 tation be used for the outside of the collar and theother'dire'ction for the inside, but this is generally the simplest procedure.
