COAT SHOULDER PRESSING DEVICE Filed Feb. 18, 1965 INVENTOR Jerome fiz'aaeff WWW United States Patent Ohio Filed Feb. 18, 1965, Ser. No. 433,645 1 Claim. (Cl. 22357) This invention relates to garment presses and is particularly directed to a device of this character that is adapted to press, in one operation, the full upper shoulder portion of a coat between the armhole and the collar and laterally across the top of the shoulder from the shoulder seam to a substantial distance down the coat front and from said seam a substantial distance down the back of the coat.
An object of the invention is to provide a novel pressing head and cooperative buck which will neatly press the coat area described hereinbefore and which will, in the single pressing operation, remove all collar impressions from the coat shoulder portion adjacent the coat collar line.
Another object of the invention is to provide a machine that will press a coat shoulder in one operation and thus eliminate many hand ironings and touch up operations necessitated by the use of present day multiple pressing operations.
Another object of the invention is to provide a novel pressing head and buck, both of ovoidoconical shape in lateral section throughout their longitudinal extent, which in cooperative pressing positions have their coat armhole pressing edges in alignment, the pressing head terminating short of the buck at the collar portion of the shoulder whereby the pressing head will engage the front shoulder portion of the coat along the collar line.
A further object of this invention is to provide cooperative pressing head and buck structures that will secure an improved pressing machine having the foregoing advantageous functions.
These and other objects and features of the invention will be understood from the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a fragmental, perspective View of a pressing machine showing a coat in operative position thereon.
FIG. 2 is a fragmental, perspective view of my buck for the coat press shown in FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a fragmental, side elevational view of the pressing machine with my pressing head and buck in ironing positions.
FIG. 4 is an enlarged section through the pressing head taken on line 44 of FIG. 3.
FIG. 5 is a section taken on line 5-5 of FIG. 4.
The general pressing machine illustrated in the drawings is of conventional design and may comprise a base 8 that supports a work table 9, the base having a frame 1t) extending upwardly from its rear portion. The frame has pivoted thereto at 11 a pair of counter-balanced arms 12-12 which movably support a pressing head element 13; a handle 14 extending from the arms for manual operation of the pressing machine.
The table 9 fixedly supports a hollow buck element 15 positioned upon a hollow pedestal 16, said buck comprising a bottom wall 17 having a hole 18 therein communicating with the interior of the pedestal. End walls 19 and 20 extend upwardly from the opposed end edges of the bottom wall and, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, are ovoidoconical in end elevation. A curved, perforate buck plate 21 has its end edges secured to the edges of the side walls 19 and 20 and has its longitudinal edges secured to the side edges of the bottom Wall 17; said plate having a substantially uniform, ovoidoconical configura- 3,224,654 Patented Dec. 21, 1965 tion in lateral section throughout its longitudinal extent. The buck plate 21, end walls 19 and 20 and bottom wall 17 constitute a vacuum chamber 22 for the buck from which steam is exhausted by way of the hollow pedestal 16 and the latters connection in any suitable manner (not shown) with an exhaust pipe 23.
The movable pressing head 13 is hollow and consists of an outer casing having a rectangular top wall 24 and rectangular side walls 25 and 26 each connected to an opposed side edge of the top wall 24 and diverging downwardly therefrom. The lower longitudinal edges of each side wall 25 and 26 has an inturned, longitudinal flange 27 and 28, respectively, connected thereto. End walls 29 and 30 are connected to the lateral edges of the top wall 24 and the side walls 25 and 26 and each has a longitudinally aligned, downwardly opening portion therein that is generally ovoidoconical in shape and which conforms closely to the form of the buck plate 21.
A curved, perforate pressing plate 31 has its opposed end edges connected to the curved edges of the end Walls 29 and 30 and has its longitudinal lower edges connected to the confronting edges of the flanges 27 and 28 on the casing. The pressing head plate 31 has substantially a uniform, ovoidoconical configuration in lateral section throughout its longitudinal extent which conforms closely to and is slightly larger than the configuration of the buck plate 21. A steam pressure chamber is constituted for the pressing head element by the top wall 24, the side walls 29 and 30, the flanges 27 and 28, and the side walls 25 and 26; steam being introduced therein through the flexible pipe 32 which is connected to a valve 33 controlled by a hand lever 135. The valve 33 is connected to a steam supply pipe 34 in the usual manner. Preferably the curved pressing head plate 31 is covered by a pressing pad or cloth 35 that is held in stretched condition thereover by a number of clamping strips 36 screwed to the outer walls of the casing.
The present invention is directed to the particular configurations and cooperation of the pressing head plate 31 and the buck plate 21 and in this respect it will be seen, with reference to FIGS. 1 and 5, that a coat or jacket 37 is initially draped over the buck element 15 in a longitudinal position such that the sleeve opening 38 overlies the front edge of the buck plate 21 and is placed in a lateral position such that the front upper portions of the inner coat shoulder lie substantially down one side of the buck plate whilst the back of the coat shoulder portion lies equally down the opposite side of the buck plate 21. In this position the collar 39 of the coat is turned up and the coat is in position such that the rear edge of the buck plate 21 extends beyond the coat collar attaching seam, the front of said edge portion following the said seam down the front shoulder portion of the coat. When the pressing head plate 31 is drawn downwardly by means of the handle 14 the pressing head plate 31 and its padding 35 will move downwardly over the coat shoulder portion thus described close to the collar attaching seam and the armhole seam without drag until it is in full pressing condition on the coat. As shown in FIG. 5 the rear edge of the pressing head plate 31 will engage the coat shoulder across the front thereof at the collar line to press out all collar impressions from the shoulder adjacent the collar thereof. Because of the ovoidoconical shapes of the cooperating pressure head plate and the buck plate, said plates may be moved into cooperative pressing positions with a forward shoulder pressing action to press the coat front portion and also the shoulder back portion without stretching the coat material and it will therefore be noted that the plates are adapted to press, in one operation, the full upper shoulder portion of the coat between the armhole and the collar and laterally across the top of the shoulder from the shoulder 6 seam to a substantial distance down the coat front and from the said seam a substantial distance down the back of the coat.
What is claimed is:
A machine for pressing a finished coat comprising a perforate buck plate having a uniform, ovoidoconical configuration in lateral section throughout its longitudinal extent, upstanding end walls connected to the end edges of the buck plate, a bottom wall connected to the lower edge of the buck plate and end Walls forming with them a steam exhaust chamber, means exhausting steam from said chamber, the forward end edge of the buck plate adapted to engage the inside upper coat shoulder portion and inside upper coat portions around the armhole therein, a pressing head plate cooperative with the buck plate and having a uniform and inverted ovoidoconical shape in lateral section throughout its longitudinal extent, a casing comprising a top wall, side walls connected to the side edges of the top wall, end walls connected to the top wall and having aligned ovoidocoriical openings therein connected to the end edges of the head plate, and means joining the bottom edges of the side walls to the lower side edges of the pressing head plate, said casing and the pressing head plate forming a steam chamber for the head, one opening in the head plate being aligned when in pressing condition with the forward end edge of the buck plate, said pressing head plate being somewhat larger in dimensions than the buck plate to permit movement of the pressing head plate into full cooperative pressing condition with the buck plate without stretching the coat material, the buck plate being longer than the pressing head plate to permit pressing the coat shoulder material close to the collar line thereof.
