4 claims.
This invention relates to garment presses, and pertains more particularly to an improved means for eiecting a non-spotting distribution of steam from one or another of the pressing elements of the press, which steam is commonly utilized to dampen the goods or articles to be pressed, or to raise the nap or pile of various textiles such as serges, velvets and the like.
I am aware that heretofore various so-called l press plates and screens have been devised to effectuate the object above specifled, but their use as a rule produces markings on certain goods, which markings are commonly known in the trade as nickel spots.
The main object of the present case is to produce a structure which, While it may be readily positioned upon a pressing element of a pressing machine, will produce that even distribution of steam which is essential to the proper treatment of the goods or garments and which, moreover, precludes the production of nickel spots.
The plate of 'my invention is4 illustrated in the annexed drawing, whereinz Figure 1 is a face view thereoras seen from the innermost side, or that which lies next adjacent the press element, say the steam heated head;
Fig. 2, a transverse Isectional view of such a head with the press plate positioned thereon; and :i0 I Fig. 3, a perspective View of a portion of the usual undermost perforate plate or element of the head with a section or portion of the press plate in position with relation thereto.
In the'drawing I0 denotes the press head having a steam heating chamber II formed therein, steam passing thereto and through the same through suitable piping, not shown.
Permanently secured to a downwardly extending flange I2 lof the head I0 is a perforate plate I3, said plate, flange and under face of the head forming a chamber I4, which is in communication with the chamber II through a. valve I5, which is of the standard type and normally closes ofi the passage of steam from the heating chamber II to the spray chamber I4. When the valve is opened, however, steam may pass through the valve from chamber II to chamber I4 andthrough perforations I6 formed in the plate I3.
.O The construction thus far.described is' of the usual type.
The press plate of m`y invention embodies or comprises a plate'I'I of comparatively light gauge and having a series 'or plurality cf perforations 1 I1a extending therethrough, said perforations being small as compared to the openings I6 in the element I3.
'Ihe plate I1, as will be most clearly seen upon reference to Figs. 2 and 3, has its outer edge upturned as at I8 and secured to said ,plate and upturned or flanged portion is a grid or screen, preferably formed ofV non-corrosive, fine mesh' Woven wire. Such grid or screen is denoted by I9. It is carried entirely beneath the plate I1 upwardly past the flange I8 and about two retainl0 ing wires or bands 2l and 22 which are bent to conform to the contour of the head or upper portion of the flange I2, each band extending approximately half-way around the same.
The end of each section 2l and 2 2v is formed 15 into an eye and bolts 23 and 24 are passed through the adjacent eyes, thumb nuts 25 being provided to permit ready adjustment of the plate to the head of the machine.
The grid or screen I9 at its inner margin is carried downwardly and overlaps the upstanding flange I8 and small rivets 26 are passed therethrough, so that the screen or grid is rigidly xed and secured to the ange I8 of the plate A"91. In this manner, the press plate or screen may be 25 readily handled with a View of positioning it on the head, or removing it therefrom.
While the bands or wires 2| and 22, together with the bolts 23 and 24, provide a ready means of drawing the plate to position upon the head,
or in that position shown in Fig. 2 wherein the bands 2| and 22 overlie the upper edge of the flange I2, one or more coiled springs as 21 may be utilized, the same being attached at opposite ends through links 2s and bans 29, the hitter being 35 pivoted or secured upon the respective bands 2I and 22.
Assuming that the press plate is secured in position upon the head of the press and steam isY permitted to pass .through the valve from the chamber II to the chamber I4, it will, owing to its pressure, pass outwardly through the openings I6 and contact the plate I'I, passing thereover or between the lower face of the plate I3 and the upper face of the plate I] until it comes to the small yopenings- I1a through which it passes to the screen or grid I9. v .Y
The arrangement of the relatively small openings inthe plate II, together with the underlying screen, secures a substantially even distribution of the steam over` the entire face of the pressing head, and, consequently, an evendistribution to all parts of the garment which may be in contact with the screen at such time. By reason of this even distribution, the lo-called 55 nickel spots" are eliminated; or, stated in another way, are not produced.
Not only is there better diffusion of steam brought about by the plate I1 with its small orifices whenvemployed with the grid or screen I9, but as above indicated, no spotting of the garment takes place and if the goods undergoing treatment are shiny, the shine is eliminated therefrom.
Insofar as the fastening or securing means for the screen is concerned, other means may be employed, the essential feature being the screen construction as above described.
Preferably, the plate l 'l and the wire screen will be produced from non-corrosive metal, and by reason of the fact'that the plate I'l is flanged and the Wire or screen is permanently secured thereto as by the rivets, ythe structure presents that degree of stability which enables it to be readily handled and positioned upon a pressing eement of the garment pressing machine. So, too, there is no opportunity for the members 2| and 22 to become displaced, as they are encased within the folded over\portion of the screen, which folding over of the rounded surface of the rods or cables presents a smooth finished edge to the structure.
It is to be understood that the plate Il could be made to conform to any desired configuration of the pressing member with which it is to bey employed.
What is claimed lsf 1. In a device of the class described, the combination of a plate having perforations therein and having its marginal portions flanged; a wire screen extending across the under face of said plate and upward along the `flanged portion thereof; means for securing said' combination of a plate having a plurality of small perforations extending therethrough, said plate at its edges being flanged in an upward direction; a wire screen underlying the plate, said screen extending upwardly beyond the upper edge of the flange of the plate and being turned back upon itself and embracing the flange; and means for securing the flange and the embracing portions of the screen together.
3. In a device of the character described, the combination of a plate having a series of small perforations formed in and extending therethrough, the outer edge of the plate being flanged 1n an upward direction; a wire screen underlying said plate, said screen likewise extending upwardly against the outer face of the flanged p0rtion of the back upon itself and over the flanged portion of the plate, with the lower marginal portion thereof lying against the inner face of the flange of the plate; and a series of rivets extending through the upstanding flange aforesaid and through those portions of the screen which lie against the opposite faces thereof. f
4. In a device of the character described, the combination of a plate having an upstanding flanged edge, said plate likewise having a plurality of small perforations extending therethrough from its upper to its lower face; a screen extending beneath and contacting the lower face of the plate and extending upwardly past 'and in contact with the flanged portion of the plate, the edge of the screen being folded back upon itself so that the marginal portion thereof lies against the inner face of the flange of the plate; a plurality of rivets passing through the ange and the adjacent portions of the screen; and a band encased within the infolded portion of the screen above the upper edge of the flange of the plate.
