Definitions

  • This invention relates to textile or laundry and A garment pressing machines, and has for its object a machine for pressing sleeved articles, as the 2, 1944, Serial No. 558,373 6 Claims. (Cl. 223-57) sleeves of garments, and particularly shirt sleeves,
  • the invention further has for its object a In describing this invention, reference is had.
  • Figure 1 is a front elevation of a preferable embodiment of this pressing machine.
  • Figure 2 is a side elevation, partly in section.
  • Figure '3 is a plan view looking downwardly in Figure l.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 are fragmentary side elevations illustrating the vertical adjustment of the form on which the sleeve is placed different elevations for pressing long sleeves.
  • Figure 6 is a fragmentary view, partly in section, of the form illustrating the sleeve or the padding thereof.
  • Figure 7 is a fragmentary view of the upper end of the form shown in Figure 6 showing the position of the padding when pulled upwardly relatively to the form against its returning
  • Figure 8 is a plan view of one of the forms with clamps in place for holding the garment in place.
  • This pressing machine comprises, generally, a suitable frame, opposing upright pressing members mounted on the frame and having relative pressing movement, a spatulate or substantially fiat, padded form on which a sleeve is pressed shiftable into and out of between the opposing pressing faces, which are preferably flat, carrier means for the form including a table or platform shiftable to carry the form into and out of 'position between thepressing members, and also means by which the table or platform is shiftable vertically to carry the form to different elevations, and thereby make the machine adjustapress shorter sleeves.
  • I designates a frame; 2 a double intermediate upright pressing member having oppositely or outwardly presented pressing faces, which are substantially flat, and 3 are outside upright pressing members movable toward and from the pressingfaces respectively of the intermediate pressing member '2.
  • These pressingmembers 2, 3 are usually formed hollow and heated, as by steam, in any well known manner.
  • the double pressing member 2 is supported on the frame by supporting means including a column 4 having a bracket 5 on the upper port on thereof, carrying a forwardly and horizont' lly extending arm '6, which is provided with a basting or block I at its front end to which the opposing sides of the intermediate pressing members 2 are secured, the arm, 6 extending between the pressing members 2.
  • the outer movable pressing members 3 are also supported from the column 4 or the bracket-thereon, here shown as by yieldable arms or plates 8 anchored at like. ends to the bracket 5 and secured at their opposite ends to the pressing members 3, the plates 8 being biased to separate the members 3 from the pressing faces of the double member 2 by springs 8.
  • the frame is enclosed in a suitable cabinet 9 formed with slots ill alined with the spaces between the pressing elements 2, 3. -These slots also open through the top of the cabinet.
  • ll designates the forms, these being usually flat metal plates tapered in accordancewith the tapered article or sleeve from its lower end toward its upper end, the form having a thin padding l2 sleeved thereon, which has a shifting movement upwardly. against the action of returning springs I3.
  • the forms are provided with tions of the shirt in place during the ironing operation and; are removed after the sleeves have been ironed.
  • the carrier mechanism for the forms comprises a platform or table l5 movable from a 3 position in front of the pressing elements rearwardly horizontally into a position to carry the forms between the pressing elements, a vertically movable base l6 movable along fixed guides I! in the frame below the pressing elements and connections, as pairs of parallel links l8 between the base I3 and the table or platform l to carry the table or platform l5 substantially horizontally to shift the forms into and out of between the pressing members 2, 3. While the table 15 is being shifted from its forward position ( Figure 2) to its rear dotted line position, the upper pivot 20 of each link l8 passes from the front side of a vertical plane intersecting its lower pivot 2i to the other side.
  • a stop I5 limits the rearward movement of the table when the form I l is between the pressing members.
  • the stop I5 is shown as a roller which comes into engagement with and rides or rolls on the column 4.
  • a second stop I! limits the travel of the platform ii to its forward position, it coming against the guide H.
  • the table [5 is operated to carry the forms into and out of position between the pressing elements 2, 3 by hand, it being a simple matter for the operator to push or pull on the front edge T of the table ii.
  • the pressing members 2, 3 are of sufficient height to press short sleeves or a portion only. of a longer sleeve, so that to press the entire longer sleeve from the cuff to the shoulder seam, two pressing operations are necessary, and an adjustment of the table vertically is necessary to bring the unpressed portion of the long sleeve into a position between the pressing members.
  • the entire carrier mechanism is movable vertically as set forth, and this operation is effected by lifting the table up from a position, such as shown in Figure 4 to that shown in Figure 5, or pushing down from the position shown in Figure 5 to that shown in Figure 4.
  • a counterweight 22 is provided, this being shown as carried bya lever arm 23 pivoted at 24 to the frame and connected to the base iii of the carrier mechanism as by a cable 25 pivoted at 26 to the lever 23 and running over an idler 21 mounted in the frame and connected at its other end at 28 to the base IS.
  • the movable pressing members 3 are operated preferably by air pressure applied to diaphragm chambers 29 carried by the frame, the diaphragms in said chambers operating through plungers or slides 30 against the outer sides of the pressing members 3 to compress them against the work on the forms in opposition to the tendency of the springs 8 to open the members 3.
  • the flow of air to and from the diaphragm is controlled by a suitable valve 3
  • These valves are of a two-way, or combined intake and exhaust type, so that when the pedal is released, air exhausts from the diaphragm chamber, permitting the pressing members 3 to be opened by the re-action of springs 8.
  • the sleeves of a garment are placed on the two forms. at the same time and pulled down until the sleeve fits the form, due to the taper of the sleeve and the form and are free of wrinkles.
  • the upper ends of the forms are of such width as to prevent the cuffs from sliding down on the forms.
  • the cufls are clamped on the extensions H by the clamps ll.
  • the table I 5 is then pushed rearwardly into between the pressing elements 2, 3 and the pressing elements 3 operated by operation of foot valve 3
  • the table I5 is lifted to the desired height, as illustrated in Figure 5, to eifect the pressing operation to the shoulder or including the arm seam and a portion of'the body, the pressing elements 2, 3 are again operated.
  • An operation may be considered as consisting of a closing and opening movement of the
  • the table I5 is then pulled forwardly, moving the forms out of position from between the pressing members.
  • the operator then removes the clamps M and taking hold of the garment or shirt sleeves pulls upwardly.
  • the pad slides upward with the sleeve,
