3 llairns.
'1he present invention relates to new and useful improvements in ironing machines and has for its primary object to provide, in a manner as hereinafter set forth, a machine of this character embodying a novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts through the me dium of which collars may be expeditiously and neatly ironed.
@ther objects of the invention are to provide an ironing machine of the aforementioned character which will be simple in construction, strong, durable, highly efficient and reliable in use, compact, and which may be manufactured and operated at low cost.
All of the foregoing and still further objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from a study of the following specification, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings wherein like characters of reference designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, and wherein:-
Figure 1 is a view in side elevation of an ironing machine constructed in accordance with the present invention.
Figure 2 is a top plan view thereof.
Figure' 3 is a view in front elevation of the machine.
Figure 4 is a view in vertical transverse section, taken substantially on the line lll-l of Figure l..
Figure 5 is a detail view in bottom plan of the press head.
Referring now to the drawings in detail, it will be seen that the embodiment of the present invention which has been illustrated comprises a buck l which is in the form of a steam heated cylinder mounted horizontally on pairs of downwardly spreading supporting legs 2 which may, if desired, be secured in any suitable manner to a iloor, base or other support. Supply and exhaust pipes t and Il, respectively, convey steam from a suitable source of supply to and from the buck l.
A standard 5 rises from the rear end portion of the buck l and has pivotally mounted thereon at an intermediate point a lever t. The reference numeral 1 designates an angular foot lever which is pivotally mounted at an intermediate point on a bracket t extending between the lower portions of the rear pair of legs 2. A link 9 operatively connects the lever t within the lever 'l for actuation thereby. A stop lll is provided beneath the rear end portion of the foot lever l for limiting the swinging movement of said foot lever 'l toward inoperative position. A notched latch ll is provided for engagement with the forward end portion of the foot lever 'l for adjustably and releasably securing said foot lever in operative position. A coil spring l2 is connected, at one end, to an arm i3 which projects from the rear w end portion of the buck l and at its other end to the rear end portion of the lever t. The coil spring l2 constitutes means for yieldingly urging the lever t toward its inoperative position.
Pivotally suspended for swinging movement in a vertical plane on the forward end portion of the lever t is a press head which is designated generally by the reference numeral il. The press head lll includes a pair of jaws It which are hingedly connected together at one end, as at lli. The jaws l5 conform substantiallly to the cylindrical buck l in curvature. A lining l1, of suitable material, is provided on the inner faces of the jaws l5. Hinge plates lll are pivotally mounted on opposite sides of the forward end portion of 20 the lever t and have hingedly connected thereto bars 29 which, in turn, are hingedly connected to the jaws l5 at points in spaced relation to the pivotal connection i6 of said jaws, as at 2l. It will be seen that the bars 29 diverge toward the jaws l5. A rod 22 is mounted slidably between the bars 20 and has mounted thereon a coil spring 2li, The ends of the coil spring 2li are engaged with the bars 20 for spreading said bars, thereby constituting means for yieldingly urging the jaws l5 to open or inoperative position.
The reference numeral 23 designates a table which is mounted on the lower side of the buck l. The table 23 may be secured in position on the buck in any suitable way, as by soldering, welding or riveting and is provided with openings 25 which accommodate the supporting legs 2. The table 23 may be of any suitable material and dimensions.
Briefly, the operation of the machine is as fol- 1ows:- 40
The various levers and the press head lil are normally maintained in inoperative position by the coil spring l2, as seen in Figure l of the drawings. The collar to be ironed is mounted transversely around the forward end portion of the buck l beneath the jaws l5. The operator then presses downwardly on the lever l to actuate the lever t through the link 9 against the tension of the coil spring i2 for moving the jaws downwardly into engagement with the collar. The hingedly connected ends of the jaws l5 are the first to engage the collar and thereafter as the downward movement of the lever continues, the bars 2li swingthe jaws l5 inwardly on the hinge lli in a manner to tightly embrace and iron the lll collar. As previously stated, the parts may be adjustably and releasably secured in operative position by the latch l l. When the lever 'I is released, the spring l2 raises the jaws I5 away from the buck l while at the same time the coil spring 2&1 spreads the jaws to the position shown in Figure 4 of the drawings. In Figure 3 of the drawings, a collar is shown being ironed between the press head I4 and the buck l, said collar being designated by the reference numeral 26.
It is believed that the many advantages of an ironing machine constructed in accordance with the present invention will be readily understood, and although the preferred embodiment of the invention is as illustrated and described, it is t0 be understood that changes in the details of construction and in the combination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to which will fall within the scope of the invention as claimed.
This application is a rei'lling of my previously abandoned application No. 643,933, led November 22, 1932.
What is claimed is:-
1. An ironing machine comprising a supporting structure, a buck mounted on the supporting structure, a press head mounted for movement toward and away from the buck, and means for actuating the press head, said press head including a pair of hingedly connected jaws, and resilient means operatively connected to the jaws for yieldingly urging said jaws apart.
2. An ironing machine comprising a supporting structure, a buck mounted on the supporting structure, a lever pivotally mounted adjacent the buck, means for actuating the lever, and a press head mounted on the lever for movement toward and away from the buck, said press head including a pair of jaws hingedly connected together at one end, bars hingedly connected to the lever and to intermediate portion of the jaws, and resilient means yieldingly urging the jaws apart.
3. An ironing machine comprising a supporting structure, a substantially cylindrical buck mounted on` the supporting structure, means for heating the buck, a pivoted lever mounted adjacent the buck, means for actuating the lever, and a press head mounted on the lever for movement toward and away from the buck, said press head including a pair of arcuate jaws hingedly connected together at one end, hinge platesl pivotally mounted on the lever, bars hingedly connected, at one end, to the hinge plates and at their other ends to intermediate portions of the jaws, and a coil spring engaged with the bars for yieldinglyv urging the jaws apart.
