Application January 29, 1944, Serial No. 520,225 1 Claim. (Cl. 22S-79) This invention relates to new and useful improvements in a glove presser.

More particularly, the invention proposes an improved glove presser characterized by a base having a flat rearwardly inclined top face upon which a at heat operated glove form is turnably mounted.

The invention proposes to make use of a tubular member turnably mounted on the base and disposed at right angles to and projecting yfrom the top face of said base and having a flange resting upon the top face and attached to and supporting said glove form. Certain stop elements are associated with the top face and flange for limiting turning of the tubular member through 180. Furthermore, it is proposed to construct the glove form of adjacent plate-like sections each having half of the finger portions of the form, and together having the complete iinger'portions. Y

For further comprehension of the invention, and of the objects and advantages thereof, reference will be had to the following description and accompanying drawings, and to the appended claim in which the various novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.

In the accompanying drawing forming a material part of this disclosure:

Fig. 2 is a front elevational view of Fig. l.

Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1. Y

Fig. 4 is a fragmentary enlarged sectional view taken on the line 4-4 of Fig. 2.

Fig. 5 is a fragmentary transverse sectional view taken on the line 5-5 of Fig. 2.

Fig. 6 is a side elevational View of a glove presser constructed in accordance with a modified form of this invention.

Fig. 7 is a front elevational view of Fig. 6.

Fig. 8 is a fragmentary enlarged sectional view taken on the line 8-8 of Fig. '7. Y

Fig. 9 is a perspective View of a shaping tool used in connection with the glove presser.

The glove presser, in accordance with the form of the invention disclosed in Figs. 1-5 inclusive, includes a base I0 having a front extension |08 for clamping the base I0 on a table and a flat rearwardly inclined top face I I. A at heat operated glove form I2 is formed with a circular bottom arm portion I3 rotatively mounted upon said inclined top face I I.

A tubular member I4 is removably lmounted in said base I0 and at right angles to and projecting from said top face II. This tubular member has a circumferential groove I5 engaged by a set screw I6 threadedly mounted on the base I0. This set screw serves to turnably support the tubular member I4.

The tubular member HI is provided with a flange I1 resting upon and against said top face Il and being attached to and supporting said glove form I2 by several fastening elements I8 engaged into the circular bottom portion I3 of said glove form. Stop elements I9 and 20 are arranged upon the top face II and upon said ange for limiting turning of the tubular member I4 to about 180. The stop element I9 is in the nature of a projection mounted upon and projecting from the top face II. The stop elements 2|] are in the nature of shoulder portions formed upon the flange I'l and engageable with the stop I9 for limiting turning of the tubular member I4 and thus the glove form I2. An asbestos disc I'Ia is provided between the flange member Il and the top face II of the base I0.

The glove -form I2 is heat operated with an electric heater 2l mounted within it. A cable 22 for the electric heater extends through the tubular member M and passes through a passage 23 in the base I0. The cable 22 is insulated by an insulation tube 24 at the point where it leaves the base I0.

The form I2 consists oi a pair of adjacent plate- like sections 25 and 26 secured together with several rivets 21 or other fastening elements. Each of said adjacent plate- like sections 25 and 26 have half of the finger portions 28 of the form and together they have the complete nger portions. At the inner sides, the finger portions 28 are formed with grooves 30 into which the seams and the fourchette portion of a glove may engage when the glove is mounted on the form.

A forming tool 3| is provided for forcing the fourchette or inner portions of the glove into the grooves 3D for the purpose of shaping and pressing a pleat therein. This forming tool is in the form of a fork with three projecting fingers 3I. These ngers 3|a have V-shaped complementary edges 3|b which ft within the grooves" 30.

The operation of the device is as follows:

The heater 2| is turned on so as to bring the heat operated glove form I2 up to a suitable temperature. The operator stands to the front of the form and slips the glove on to the form. He may turn the glove form I2 around 180, so as to bring the back of the glove to the front so that it may be properly adjusted on the form. In

other respects this glove presser is used similarly to the conventional glove pressers.

In Figs. 6-8 a modied form of the invention is disclosed which is very similar to the prior form, distinguishing merely in the fact that the heat operated glove form l2' is formed from a pair of adjacent plate- like sections 25 and 26 which are hingedly connected together by a hinge 32 near their bottom ends. A screw 33 has a shank portion 34 turnably mounted upon the plate-like section 26. This screw 33 threadedly engages the plate-like section 25. The screw 33 has a wing-shaped head 35 by which it may be easily turned. The hinge 32 is of a loose construction so that there is suicient play t0 permit the plate-like sections 25 Vand 26 to be angularly separated when moved apart or together when the screw 33 is turned in one direction or the other.

A glove is engaged upon the form, as previously explained; then the screw 33. may be turned to extend the plate- like sections 25 and 23 so that: they expand Within the glove and stretch; and press the glove.

A pilot light 410 is provided in the base I which may be connected in the electric circuitV by joining it with the cable 22 in series with a control switch 4l sothat when the current in the electric heater 2'!A is being supplied, the pilot light will indicate that the current is on.

While I have illustrated and described the preferred embodiments of my invention, it is to be understood that I do not limit myself to the precise constructions herein disclosed and the right is reserved to all changes and modiiications coming within the scope of the invention as dened in the appended claim.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by United States Letters Patent is:

A glove presser comprising a base portion and a separable substantially flat glove form rotatably mounted in an inclined plane on said base portion, said glove form comprising a pair 0f separable sections hingedly connected adjacent that end of said form disposed adjacent said base portion, means disposed intermediate the ends of said hinged sections for adjusting the relative positions of said sections with respect to each other, and a heating element for said sections enclosed Within said sections and wholly contained at a point adjacent said hinge connection.
