11- Claims.

`The main objects of this invention are:

First, to provide an improved pad unit for ironer pressure rolls and the like.

Second, to provide an ironer roll pad unit made up of one or more individual pad elements or members of cotton batting or other padding material arranged with their ends forming butt joints, the joints of the different layers being circumferentially spaced from each other.

Third, to provide an ironer roll pad unit made up in such manner that variations caused by pronounced overlapping parts are eliminated.

Fourth, to provide an iron roll pad unit having the above desirable features and characteristics and .which is simple and economical in its parts and very ecient and effective in operation.

Objects pertaining to details and economies of my invention will appear from the description to follow. 'I'he invention is defined in the claims.

A structure which is a preferred embodiment of my invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:

Fig. 1 is a conventionalized fragmentary view in side elevation of an ironer having padded rolls embodying the features of. my invention.

Fig. 2 is a fragmentary perspective view of the ironer roll pad unit in the fiat.

Fig. 3 is a transverse section of an ironer padded roll with the pad unit partially assembled thereon.

Fig. 4 is a view similar to Fig. 3, showing parts in assembled relation.

Fig. 5 is a fragmentary perspective view of the roll with the pad unit partially assembled thereon.

Fig. 6 is an end elevation of anironer padded roll embodying a modication of the invention.

Referring to the drawing, the ironer 1 has a the central heating drum or chest 2 with which the' like, the ironer being conventionally illustrated.-

The padded rolls 4 illustrated are provided with my improved pad unit 5.

This pad unit consists of a length of canvas 6 constituting an inner flap and a plurality of pad elements as 7 and 8 shown in Figs. 3 and 4, and an outer flap 9. These pad units are conventionally shown and formed of suitable resilient material as cotton with proper facings and stitching to secure the material in place, this not being illustrated. Theap 6 constitutes an anchoring ap and is udapted to`be wrapped about the roll a plurality of times to effectively anchor the pad unit to the roll. The pad element 7 is secured adjacent its inner end to the flap 6 as by means vwound around the roll in a single layer the ends .of the pad element lie in abutting relation, or, in

other Words, the outer end 12 of the pad element 7 faces the inner end 10 thereof to form the butt joint 13. The second or outer pad element 8 is arranged in stepped overlapping relation to the pad element 7 and is secured adjacent its inner end 14 to the pad elementi by means of stitches 15.

The pad element 8 is of such length that its outer end 16 and its inner end 14 form thebutt joint 17, this joint being disposed out of alinement or in joint breaking relation to the joint of the inner pad element. The outer nap 19 is disposed with its inner end in overlapping relation to the pad element 8 and is secured adjacent its inner end 18 by the stitches 15. The outer flap is convolutely wound as indicated in Fig. 4v and constitutes the facing for the padded roll.A

The pad unit is wrapped around the roll in a direction opposite to the normal rotation of the roll as indicated by the arrow in connection with Fig. 3. The outer end 19 of the outer ap is free, but is retained in position by the rotation of the roll.

In the modification shown in Fig. 6, three pad elements are provided. This pad unit consists of the inner flap 20 of canvas, the

pad elements

21, 22 and 23 arrangedin stepped relation, and the outer flap 24. The number of pad elements may be varied according to the cushioning desired and l the character of the pad elements. If desired, only one pad element may be used.

The common practice has 4been to Wind a pad convolutely upon the roll, the result being that the end of the pad forms a ridge or hump across the roll and consequently uneven pressure is applied upon the article passing through the ironer. This also results in uneven compression on the pad and uneven Wear on the outer or facing surface. In the event that the outer ap should become scorched, it is easily replaced, so the life of my improved pad unit very materially exceeds that of pads of the type commonly used.

Myimproved roll pad presents no uneven surfaces and has no pronounced variations in thickness due to overlapping of the layers, the ends of the individual layers being arranged to form butt joints. Further, my improved pad is simple and economical in its parts and may be quickly and readily wound on the roll core. Y In assembling the pad on the roll core, the

inner end of the inner winding is preferably attached to the surface of the core in any suitable manner as by means of an adhesive material. Due to the absence of humps and overlapping joints, my ironer roll pad is quite efficient and effective in ironing, particularly flat work.

I have illustrated and described my improvements in embodiments which I have found very practical. I have not attempted to illustrate or describe other embodiments or adaptations, as it is believed this disclosure will enable those skilled in the art to embody or adapt my improvements as may be desired.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. An ironer roll pad unit comprising an anchoring ap of canvas, a pad element overlapping said anchoring flap and of such length that its ends form a butt joint when wrapped around the roll, a second pad element overlapping said first pad element and of such length that it forms a butt joint when itis Wrapped around the rst pad element, a third pad element of such length that its ends form a butt joint when it is wrapped around the second pad element, the joints of the pad elements being circumferentially spaced, and an outer flap element convolutely wound around the third element, said aps and pad elements being secured together in stepped relation by stitching.

2. An ironer roll pad unit comprising an anchoring flap of canvas, a pad element overlapping said anchoring flap and of such length that its ends form a butt joint when Wrapped around the roll, a second pad element overlapping said first pad element and of such length that it forms a butt joint when it is Wrapped around the first pad element, the joints of the pad elements being crcumferentially spaced, and an outer ap element convolutely Wound .around the third element, said aps and pad elements being secured together in stepped relation by stitching.

3. A pad unit adapted to be convolutely wound upon an ironer roll and comprising inner and outer end aps and a plurality of pad elements of uniform thickness disposed in stepped relation and of progressively increasing length so that when the pad unit is convolutely wound upon an ironer roll the pad elements are concentrically disposed one upon another and the ends of each pad element lie in abutting joint relation and the joints of the pad elements are out of alinement, the inner flap of the pad unit constituting an anchoring nap and being of such length as to provide a plurality of convolutions around the roll and the outer end flap being of such length as to provide a plurality of convolutions about the superimposed pad elements.

4. A pad unit adapted to be convolutely wound upon an ironer roll and comprising inner and outer end aps and a plurality of pad elements of uniform thickness disposed in stepped relation winding of canvas Wrapped around the roll core,

9. An ironer'roll pad unit comprising an anchoring ap of canvas, a pad element overlapping said anchoringflap and of such length that its ends form a butt joint when wrapped around the roll, and an outer flap element convolutely Wound around the element, said aps and pad element being secured together in stepped relation by stitching.-

11. An ironer roll pad comprising an inner ap adapted to be wrapped around the roll core a plurality of convolutions to form an inner anchor Winding, a padelement adapted to be wrapped around theouter side of the inner anchor winding once with its ends in abutting contact relation, and an outer flap adapted to be Wrapped around the outer side of the pad element a plurality of convolutions to form an outer casing winding, said flaps and pad element being secured together in stepped relation.
