1942- s. GUARNASCHELLI STEAM BUCK OR PRESSING MACHINE Fil'ed May Q4, 1940 INVENTOR Jzepficw @oarzzwcZcZZz ATTORNEYS Patented Oct. 13, 1942 m castes STEAM BUCK R PRESSING MACHINE Application May 24, 1940, Serial No. 336,926
1 Claim.
This invention relates to steam bucks or pressing machines, and particularly to the steam connections therefor.
The usual garment pressing machine consists of a pad or cushion on which the garment is placed and a pivoted steam buck adapted to swing downwardly onto the pad and to steam and press the garment thereon.
Flexible hose is connected to the pivoted buck to conduct steam thereto or to remove the used or spent steam and condensate therefrom. Flexible metallic hose has been used for this purpose, but it has been found that the repeated raising and lowering or pivotal movement of the steam buck about its pivot causes the hose to break between the buck pivot and the buck.
This invention has been developed for the purpose of overcoming the above diificulty and providing a hose connection to the buck so constructed and arranged that the hose will not break.
Further objects of the invention will appear from the following specification taken in connection with the drawing which forms a part of this application, and in which there is shown an elevational view of a pressing machine having hose connections constructed in accordance with the invention.
In the particular embodiment of the invention illustrated in the drawing there is shown a garment pressing machine having a frame IB, a table II mounted on the frame and a support l2 for a cushion or pad l3 mounted on the table.
A bracket I 4 is carried by the frame and has pivoted thereto at its upper end, as shown at I5, a lever 16 which carries at one end a steam buck IT. The other end of the lever is connected to suitable operative mechanism by means of which it can be raised and lowered.
In the usual garment pressing machine the connections for the flexible hose which carry the live steam and the spent or used steam are made at the side of the steam buck adjacent the pivot [5 of the lever l6. With this type of connection it has been found that flexible metallic hose under the repeated flexing due to the rapid pivotal movement of the steam buck breaks at a point between the pivot and the adjacent side of the steam buck.
In the embodiment of the invention illustrated the live steam supply pipe is shown at and is connected to a flexible metallic hose 2!, the delivery or discharge end of its hose being connected to a connector or coupling 22 which is connected to the steam buck I1 adjacent the longitudinal center thereof. The buck I! has a steam chamber therein and the live steam passes into the chamber through the connector or coupling 22. The particular point of connection of the connector 22 to the steam buck need not be at the longitudinal center, but should preferably be at some point between the left hand side of the buck viewing Fig. 1 and the center thereof. If desired, however, this point of connection could be beyond the center.
The drain pipe 25 has connected thereto a flexible metallic hose 26 and the opposite end of the hose 26 is connected to a U bend 21. A pipe 28 is connected to the bend 2'! and through an elbow 29 to a pipe 30 which in turn is connected to a coupling or connection 3i which is connected to the side of the buck adjacent the pivot Hi. It is obvious that when the buck is raised about the pivot l5 the side adjacent the pivot will be the low or bottom side of the buck and that any condensate will drain toward this side.
The particular connections shown in the drawing are merely illustrative and it should be understood that both connections could be made at the center or between the sides of the buck or both could be made at the side of the buck nearest the pivot.
If both connections are made at the side then two return bend pipes will be used. If both connections are made at the center, the return bend pipe could be inclosed within the buck.
If desired, the connection between the delivery end of the flexible hose 26 and the low end or left hand. end viewing Fig. 1 of the buck ll may be made through channels or pipes inclosed within the buck casing instead of through pipes disposed on the outside, as illustrated.
By connecting the upper ends of the flexible metallic hose in the manner described the repeated flexing of the hose on a short radius is avoided and the breaking of the metallic hose is overcome.
Although one specific embodiment of the invention has been particularly shown and described, it will be understood that the invention is capable of modification and that changes in the construction and in the arrangement of the various cooperating parts may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, as expressed in the following claim.
What I claim is:
In the type of garment pressing machine which comprises a fixed press member and a buck arranged to swing on a pivot at one side of the fixed member into and out of operative relation with said member, said buck having a steam chamber and a drain outlet on the side thereof adjacent its pivot, a conduit from the drain out let to a fixed point between the sides of the buck and more remote from the pivot than said outlet, a drain pipe below the pivot and a flexible hose interconnecting the drain pipe and said more remote point of the conduit.
STEPHEN GUARNASCHELLI.
