PRESSING PAD WITH ATTACHED PRESSING CLOTH Filed May 50, 1945 INVENTORS ATTORNEYS Patented Nov. 1, 1 949 PRESSING PAD WITH ATTACHED PRESSING CLOTH Theresa M. McKinley, New York, and David Traum, Purchase, N. Y., assignors to Dritz- Traum 00., Inc., New York, N. Y., a corporation of New York Application May 30, 1945,-Serial No. 596,754
Claims. (01. 38141) This invention relates to garment pressing accessories and has particular reference to a pressing pad provided with a pressing cloth secured thereto along one side thereof and adapted to overlie a garment to protect the same during.
the pressing operation while the pad affords a support therefor.
The invention primarily comprehends a pressing pad for use in the pressing of the sh0ulder portions of coats, jackets and the like whereby the pad may be held in one hand by the operator under the shoulder portion of the garment and the pressing cloth folded over the edge of the garment and disposed in covering relation with the surface thereof to be pressed to thereby protect the same during the pressing operation which is performed by the operator using a heated iron in the other hand..
The invention also has in view a pressing pad of the indicated character which is formed with hand engaging means for holding the same during the pressing operation and in which the pressing cloth is secured to the pad adjacent the entrance of the hand engaging means.
The invention further comprehends a pressing cloth including upper and lower mating fabric sections secured together to provide a casing which is filled with a soft compressible fibrous material and to which casing a fabric section is secured in spanning relation with the lower section thereof to form a pocket therewith for receiving the hand of the operator and adjacent the entrance to the said pocket a flexible strip of material is secured to the end of the casin so as to define a pressing cloth.
With the foregoing and other objects in view reference is' now made to the following specification and accompanying drawings in which the preferred embodiment thereof is illustrated.
In the drawings:
Fig.1 is a side view of a pressing pad constructed in accordance with'the invention and illustrating the pressing cloth disposed in superposed relation.
Fig. 2 is a sectional view therethrough on line 2-2 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a side view on a reduced scale of a pressing pad constructed in accordance with the invention and. illustrating a modified form thereof.
Referring to the drawings by characters of reference, the pressing pad includes a flexible casing preferably constructed of Woven fabric which casing consists of upper and lower mating plies or sections I0 and II which are se- 2 cured together by stitching I2 continuously abou the peripheries thereof with the selvage edges of the plies or sections inturned. The casing is filled with a compressible fibrous material such as cotton wadding 83 which distends the same and provides an elongated pad with .a substantially flat upper surface when compressed and oval side edges in cross-sectional configuration.
A ply or section M preferably of woven fabric is provided which is similar in formation to the lower ply or section II but of reduced length and which underlies the lower ply or section II and is secured to the casing so as to form a pocket therewith for receiving the hand of the operator so as to support the pad in position within the garment and under the surface to be pressed, the pocket having an entrance mouth l5 which is spaced from one end of the pad. As illustrated, the ply or section it has one end thereof and its opposite side edges inturned between the edges of the plies l0 and II and secured thereto by the stitching I 2 about said edges of the ply-or section M.
Constructed in thi manner the pad may be conveniently held by the operator with one hand and arranged in position under the portion of the garment to be pressed so as to provide a foundation or backing for the pressure of the pressing iron applied against the outer surface of the garment which is performed by the operator holding the pressin iron in the other hand. In order to provide means for protecting the surface of the garment from direct contact with the pressing iron during the pressing operation; a pressing cloth 16 consisting of a strip of flexible material such as woven fabric is secured to the pad continuously along the end I! thereof adjacent the entrance mouth l5 of the pocket by a line of stitching l2. As illustrated, "one end of the pressing cloth i6 is secured to the pad between the upper and lower plies or sections l0 and H by inserting the same therebetween, the line of stitching H2 at the end I! of the pad securing the upper and lower plies or sections II] and II and the pressing cloth [6 together in assembled relation and closing the end of the casing. The outer end of the pressing cloth l6 and the opposite side edges thereof are doubled over and secured by a line of stitching Hi to provide a hemmed edge.
When the pad is in use and disposed in posi tion within or under the portion of the garment to be pressed, the portion of the pressing cloth adjacent the padis folded over the edgeof the garment and the remainder thereof disposed in overlying relation upon the surface of the garment to be pressed to constitute a protection against direct contact of the iron with the garment and which pressin cloth may also be dampened to facilitate the pressing of the garment.
In the modified form of the invention illustrated in Fig. 3 of the drawings the pad includes a flexible casing consisting of a forward portion I9 which is similar in construction to the pad shown in the previous form of the invention. In this form however the forward portion I9 is provided with an elongated flexible extremity which is of reduced thickness and is connected with the rear end of the forward portion I9. The said pad is preferably constructed of upper and lower mating plies or sections 2| and 22 extending longitudinally throughout the portions I9 and 20 thereof and which are secured together by stitching extendingv continuously about their peripheries similar to the stitching I2 in the previous form of the invention. The forward portion I9 of the pad is similarly provided with a ply or section 23 which underlies the lower ply or section 22 and is secured along its opposite side edges to the casing by the aforesaid stitching so as to form a pocket 24 with the lower ply 2'2.
A pressing cloth 25 similar to the pressing cloth I6 in the previous form of the invention is secured by stitching 26 to the forward end of the casing, the pressing cloth 25 however being relatively longer than the pressing cloth I6 in the previous form of the invention and extends throughout the entire lengtlfof the portions I9 and 20 thereof. The pressing pad in this form of the invention is adapted to be used in a manner similar to that described in the previous form of the invention but in this instance the forward portion I9 thereof is adapted to be disposed under the shoulder portion of the garment to be pressed with the flexible extremity 20 extending into and throughout the sleeve of the garment to provide a foundation or backing for the pressure of the iron upon the surface of the garment to be pressed while the pressing cloth 25 is adapted to overlie the shoulder portion and the sleeve of the garment so as to protect the garment from direct contact with the iron.
What is claimed is:
The casing of the pressing pad illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawings is produced by sewing the plies I0, II and I4 together by the line of stitching I2 with the said plies arranged inside out after which the plies are turned right side out and the casing filled with the wadding I 3 and the end I! thereof closed by the line of stitching I2 and uniting the pressing cloth I6 thereto. In a similar manner the casing of the pressing pad illustrated in Fig. 3 of the drawings is produced.
