Cumelvce 506 lflvGLE/ Patented Jan. 3, 1950 OFFICE 2,493,252 NECKTIE FINISHER Clarence Edgar Langley, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Application July 2, 1945, Serial No. 602,835
My invention relates to a finisher.
More particularly, the invention relates to a necktie finisher.
A tie finisher made according to my invention, which includes a rigid form adapted to receive a portion of the tie, operates to steam or otherwise moisten the fabric, and then to dry the same while on the form.
According to the preferred form of the invention as shown on the drawing and as described below, steam is turned on manually to suitably moisten a portion of the tie on the form, and steam turned off, and the tie allowed to dry on the form. No other manual operation is required, except, of course, to place the tie on the form and to remove it therefrom after it has been processed or finished.
The objects of the invention, generally, are to provide a necktie finisher of simple form and easy and expeditious of operation.
A specific object is to provide a necktie finisher which will require but one manual operation, other than the operations of placing the tie on the form and then removing it therefrom after finishing or processing.
Another specific object is to provide a necktie finisher which includes a continuously operating heater, disposed especially to affect zones or areas of the tie which should be well dried before removal from the form.
In the drawing, wherein like numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in the various figures,
Figure I is a fragmentary side elevation of the device, with parts broken away; and,
Figure II is a cross section on line 22 in Figure I with parts below said line omitted for clarity of illustration.
Referring now to the drawing the form shown as i ii, includes a hollow flat oval tubular member ii, preferably of aluminum, which is shaped or otherwise adapted to receive the larger (or front) end of the necktie to be processed or finished.
One wall of the member ll is provided with a plurality of orifices l9 to permit steam within the form to reach the fabric of the tie, more particularly the front panel and the edges thereof. If preferred, orifices may also be provided in the opposite or rear wall of the member II.
To the lower end of the member H is secured a second hollow member M as by suitable screws 39 threaded through cooperating flanges l2 and 53 formed integral with the members H and M,
1 Claim. (Cl. 223-82) respectively. Suitable steam packing 28 is preferably used between the flanges I2 and I3.
The form is preferably secured in an upright position to a table or the like, T, by means of say, bolts 3| passed through both flanges l2 and I3.
Since the tie is usually made of a loosely woven fabric and, therefore, is porous, more steam will tend to pass through the tie near the bottom of the form than at the top. On the other hand, it is desirable that all parts of the fabric to be processed or treated should be as much as possible equally moistened. Accordingly, preferably I provide a cover or sleeve 20 over the member H, of a fabric which will appreciably retard or impede the fiow of steam through the perforated wall of the member II. The preferred fabric is that used in umbrellas. While such fabric permits steam to pass through, it impedes the flow sufficiently to enable the steam to build up to a certain pressure within the member ll, so that the steam which passes through the fabric will be reasonably uniform in density. Such sleeve will also make for the easier and smoother application of the tie on the form, and of its removal therefrom. Moreover, the use of such a sleeve will have the additional advantage that the outside of the member II, which in practice will be cast, will not require as much finishing or buffing.
Such a sleeve may be secured to the member H as by a suitable ring 2| clamping the lower portion of the sleeve to the member.
Steam may be fed into the form from a steam chest 23 through a pipe [6, a valve ll (shown diagrammatically only) being provided to turn the steam on and off. In practice, the valve I! will take the form of a quick operating valve operated by a foot lever. Condensation in the steam chest is evacuated through a suitable cock 2?. I'he steam chest is operatively connected to a steam boiler (not shown) by means of a pipe 2t, the supply of live steam to the chest being controlled by valve 25.
As already stated, the finisher of my present invention dries the tie while on the form after the steam is turned oif. Accordingly, I provide a heating element within the member II, more especially adjacent the side edges of the member which corresponds to the edges or creases of the tie. It is important that the edges or creases of the tie should be well dried out before the tie is removed from the form. The heating element which provides a source of heat independent of that provided by the steam admitted into the member ll, preferably takes the form of a small copper tube 22, in the order of A; of an inch in diameter, formed or shaped approximately to the contour of the side edges of the member H, and lying against or very close to the inside wall of the member. One end of the tube is open to atmosphere while the other end is connected to the source of live steam, say to the pipe 24 aforesaid. A suitable valve 26 controls the flow .of steam through the tube. When the form is in use, steam is allowed to pass through the tube continuously.
What I claim is:
A necktie finisher comprising a flattened, elongated, hollow metallic form having a perforated wall, means for admitting steam into said form to escape through said perforated wall and to moisten the necktie on the form, valve means for controlling the admission of steam, and
a U-shaped tube mounted within said form :0
closely adjacent the edges or said form and connected at one end to a source of steam and adapted to provide dry heat within said form to keep said perforated wall warm and thereby tend to dry the necktie while on said form with the creased edges thereof subjected to the highest heat.
