I NVENTOR CtiARLES A. FISCHER Patented May 19, 1942 warren stares Parser tical movement, and springs M bias the bed to-' 9 Claim.
This invention relates toimprovements in pressing machines and is particularly applicable to machines of the type used in ironing or pressing garments, laundered articles and the like.
One of the objects of the present invention is to provide a novel pressing machine operated I wholly by the force which an operator is able to exert. More particularly my improved pressing machine provides coacting head and bed pressing members, one of which is first moved to the pressing position and held there while a powerful pressure is applied to the other member by the operator.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a pressing machine in which a pressing head is first moved to a pressing position where it is held and thereafter the pressing bed is moved upwardly against the head by a very powerful leverage extending downwardly in the press frame and operatively connected with a treadle near the floor. My invention thus makes the most efficient use of the space occupied by the press frame to apply a very high pressure, using only such weight as the operator can exert upon the treadle.
Another novel feature of my invention is the arrangement of a pressing machine having two pressing members each movable toward the other, and a lever for applying the weight of the operator for a pressing operation between the members wherein the lever is constructedto hold one of the members in pressing position while exerting a powerful force on the other pressing member.
The variousnovel features of my invention are shown in the accompanying drawings and described in the specification and the essential features will be set forth in the claims.
In the drawings, Fig. 1 is an end elevation of a pressing machine showing one embodiment of my invention, certain of the parts being broken away to more clearly show the structure,the open press position being shown in full lines and the safe closed position being indicated .in dotdash lines; Fig. 2 is a view similar to Fig. 1 showing the parts in press closed position; while Fig. 3 is a fragmental transverse sectional view taken along the line 3-3 of Fig. 2.
I have illustrated my invention as applied to a pressing machine of the scissors type wherein a frame l5 carries a bracket I l in which is mounted a pressing bed l2 for limited vertical movement. In the form shown, pins l3 extend downwardly from the bed. [2 through suitable bores in the bracket H to guide the bed in its verwards its lowermost position. Suitable means is provided extending downwardly from the bed so that pressure maybe exerted to move the bed upwardly. In the present instance this comprises a pressure pin I5 in contact with the bed and extending downwardly for engagement with the operating leverage.
Also mounted in the press frame is a head lever it which is pivotally mounted intermediate its ends at IT between apair of upright channels forming the rear portion of the frame ll}. This lever carries at its forward end the pressing head 58 which upon lever oscillation is carried into and out of registering position over the bed'l2 for a pressing operation. A handle l9 serves for the manipulation of the head lever. To oscillate;
the head lever a forwardly breaking toggle 20 is connected between the point 2i at the rear end of the head lever and the pivot 22 at the lower rear portion of the frame. This toggle comprises the upper link 20a which is connected to the head lever by a clevis and an adjustable screw connection 23. The lower toggle link 2% is bi:
furcated and carries a pair of rollers 24 for a purpose presently to be described.- One or more springs 25 bias the head toward open position. A snubber .26 cushions the movement of the head toward open position. A resilient stop 2'! cushions and limits the movement of toggle 29 rearwardly toward straightened position.
For raising the bed into pressure engagement with the head a powerful leverage is provided operable by a treadle in the lower part of the frame. This mechanism comprises a bell crank designated 29a and extends downwardly in the press frame to a point fairly near the floor. Because the bed l2 is supported in a position substantially waist high to the operator standing on the fioor, I am enabled to use a great deal of the vertical height of the frame for the lever 29a so that I obtain a leverage multiplication as betweenthe arm 29a and theshort arm 30-3I having a mechanical advantage of ten or fifteen.
A treadle 3-2 is pivotally mounted at 33 in thelower rear portion of the frame forwardly of the toggle pivot 22. This treadle carries a footengaging portion 32aat its forward end. The operative connection between the treadle and the lever 29a comprises a link 34 connected between the upstanding arm 35 of treadle 32 and the bifurcated lower end of lever 29. The connection with lever 29 comprises a swivel block 36 pivotally mounted in the lever 29 and having a threaded connection at 31. with the link 34. At its other end the link enters a clevis 38 and is held therein by a screw 39 which enters an annular groove 4!] in the link 34. An adjusting knob 4! at the forward end of link 34 serves to rotate the link so as to adjust its position in the swivel block 36. By this adjustment the relationship between bed I2 and head I8 is initially set and may be adjusted from time to time to compensate for changes in padding during the life of a pressing member.
My invention contemplates the use of any suitable means for holding the head in pressing position while the bed is raised into pressure engagement therewith. In the embodiment here disclosed I provide a novel arrangement whereby the treadle 32 holds the head in pressing position while at the same time applying a powerful pressure to the bed. This means comprises an abutment 42 carried by a rearward extension of treadle 32 and formed arcuately about the pivot 33 and adapted after the head reaches the safe closed position indicated in dot-dash lines in Fig 1 to engage beneath and in front of the rollers 24 on the lower toggle link while pressure is being applied to the bed.
Means is provided for normally maintaining the treadle 32 in raised position. As shown in the drawings this comprises a cylindrical member 43 attached to the frame and a piston-like abutment 44 connected by rod 45 to pin 46 on the treadle. A compression spring 47 is engaged between the abutment 44 and the lower end of cylinder 43.
Means is provided to latch the treadle 32 in its lowermost position to hold the press closed. The means here disclosed for this purpose comprises a latch 48 pivoted to the frame at 49 and carrying a hook member 50 adapted to overlie an extension of pin 45 on the treadle in the position shown in Fig. 2. by a spring 5! and is limited in its movements in opposite directions by the stops 52 and 53.
A resilient cushion 54 engages a projection on treadle 32 to limit its downward movement.
It is thought the operation of the press will a now be readily understood. With the parts in the open position of Fig. 1 (full lines) the operator arranges the work to be pressed on the bed l2, then grasps the handle l9 and moves the head to the dot-dash position of Fig. l. Treadle 32 is then depressed and during this movement the arcuate abutment 42 acting against rollers 24 holds the head in pressing position while link 34 acting through lever 29 exerts a powerful pressure upwardly on the bed. The treadle is latched in its lowermost position as shown in Fig.2 so that the press remains closed as long as desired. To release the press latch 48 is depressed by stepping on its forward end, whereupon the parts return to the open position first described.
It will be noted that the power applied at 32a is multiplied approximately four times in the treadle because of the relationship between the short upwardly extending treadle arm 35 and This latch is biased upwardly the long forwardly extending treadle arm. Also as mentioned before, the multiplication in lever 29 is of the nature of ten or fifteen times so that the multiplication of the force applied to the bed is approximately forty to sixty times the pressure applied on the treadle by the operator. To obtain the maximum advantage, when the head is moved to safe closed registering position above the bed I have these pressing members substantially in contact so that a very small movement of the bed I2 in a vertical direction is necessary to apply the final pressure.
It will be noted that the powerful pressure cannot be applied between the bed and head until the press has first reached safe closed position, where the operators hand can no longer be caught between the pressing members. This is due to the fact that the arcuate abutment 42 is not in position to engage the rollers 24 so as to hold the head in pressing position until the parts reach approximately the dot-dash position of Fig. 1.
