4 Claims. .1,
This invention relates to covercloths for the padded buck of pressing-machines utilized in the art of pressing clothes, such as laundry pressing machines. Such pressin m"achines usually include a horizontallysustaii'id'padded buck upon which the work-is-laid and a-heated pressing or ironing member movable -into engagement with the buck to exert pressure thereon for pressing the work upon the buck.
The object of the invention is to provide an improved cover cloth for the padded buck of a pressing machine.
Another object is to provide a smooth surfaced cover cloth provided with a non-smooth workholding edge area.
A further object is to provide a cover cloth having the requisite smoothness over the pressin area with a work-retaining rough edge area.
Other objects will be apparent as the invention is more fully hereinafter disclosed.
In accordance with these objects I have found that whereas in a pressing machine buck cover cloth it is advantageous to provide a smooth surface over the pressing area of the cloth, such smooth surface makes it difficult to hold or retain the workpiece in pressing position on the buck during the time interval required to move the heated pressin or ironing member into engagement with the buck due to the normally curved surface of the cover cloth as mounted on the buck over the buck padding thereon. The weight of the workpiece depending from the part thereof laid in pressing position on the buck tends to drag the workpiece off the buck and out of pressing position and requires the press operator to hold the workpiece in position on the buck until the heated pressing member makes contact therewith. This is not only hazardous to the operator but is time-consuming and slows up the pressing operation.
I have discovered that by providing the cover cloth with a rough-surfaced area extending about the smooth-surfaced pressing area in a position to engage the workpiece laid on the pressing area as the workpiece falls away from the pressing area along the arcuate side of the buck, this hazard is eliminated and the pressing operation is materially speeded up without loss of advantages gained by the use of the smooth-surfaced pressing area in the cloth.
Several alternative arrangements are utilizable to obtain the advantages of the present invention. In the drawings I have illustrated several of these alternative arrangements.
In the drawings:
species of the roughened areadmprovement of tire present invention;
Fig. 6 is a sectional view of the same along plane 65 of Fig. 5;
Fig. 7 is an enlarged fragmentary View illustrating a second species of the present improvement invention, and
Fig. 8 is an enlarged fragmentary view illustrating a third species of the present improvement invention.
Referring to the drawings, in Fig. 1 is shown a typical shape of padded buck B with cover cloth C thereon overlying padding P and held in position on the buck by spring clip means AA' passing under the buck between opposite sides of the cover cloth C. Means AA, per se, is old and well known in the art and forms no part of the present invention.
As indicated in the drawings, Figs. 2 and 3, cover cloth C is provided with a rough surfaced area B extending about the pressing area of the cloth C and about the arcuate side edges of the padded buck B in a position to catch and hold the depending portion of the workpiece part of which is laid in pressing position on the buck. The width of roughened area R. may vary widely without essential departure from the invention as may also the type and kind of material employed in forming same, although some materials are of greater utility and effectiveness for the purpose than others.
I have found that a strip of upstanding fiber cloth, such as velvet cloth, having a width of about one inch secured in position on the smooth surface of the cover cloth by any convenient means, as by sewing the same thereon, to extend about the arcuate sides of the padded buck upon mounting the cover cloth thereon, gives excellent workholding results. Such a strip of material is illustrated in Figs. 5 and 6.
Alternatively, I have found that a strip of material, such as the usual type edge binding material, folded into a plurality of reverse bends and secured at the center of the bends to the cloth as a band bordering the pressing area of the cover 3 cloth, as shown in Fig. '7, also gives excellent results.
f lesser effectiveness, but of good utility, is the arrangement indicated in Fig. 8 wherein in the area next adjacent the pressing area of the cloth a plurality of relatively coarse threads consisting of non-smooth material, such as cotton, are sewn into the cover cloth to roughen the surface of the cloth sufficiently for the purpose in view.
Ordinary emery cloth similarly attached to the cover cloth also has proven to be highly effective for the purposes of the present invention.
Various other types and kinds of alternative materials will occur to those skilled in the art in the forming of the work-holding rough area on the cover cloth of the present invention.
In view of the above disclosure and specific examples of the same given and illustrated, it is believed apparent that the invention may be widely modified without essential departure therefrom and all such modifications and departures are contemplated as may fall within the scope of the following claims.
What I claim is:
1. A cover cloth for the pressing buck of a clothes pressing machine, said cloth consisting of a woven fabric having a smooth surface, the area of said surface next adjacent the outer edges of the pressing area of the cloth as mounted on the buck being covered with material having a rough work-retaining surface.
2. A cover cloth for the pressing buck of a clothes pressing machine, said cloth consisting of a woven fabric having a smooth surface, upon the smooth surface of which is mounted, in a band located to lie along the arcuate sides of the buck when the cloth is in mounted position thereon, a work-retaining strip of material having a rough surface.
3. The cover cloth of claim 2, said strip of material consisting of material having up-standing fibers.
4. The cover cloth of claim 2, said strip of material consisting of a narrow band mounted in a plurality of reverse bends along the strip area and secured at the centers of the reverse bends to the said cover cloth.
