Description
March 28, 1967 J. G. WEINGARTEN 3,310,895
DUAL EDGER Filed Aug. 17, 1965 INVENTOR.
JOHN G. WEI/VGA/PTE/V BY Unitcd States Patent 3,310,895 DUAL EDGER John G. Weingarten, 354 Lancaster Ave., Haverford, Pa. 19041 Filed Aug. 17, 1965, Ser. No. 480,386 2 Claims. (Cl. 38-16) This invention relates generally to pressing bucks and in particular, to a pressing buck for opening and underpressing lapel notch seams and front seams of a coat.
The style and fitting of a mans coat depends largely on the pressing and shaping thereof. The lapel notch and front seams of a coat are generally opened and underpressed by means of a small hand iron. The front seams of a coat are difiicult to shape and iron because of their arcuate shape. Generally, the hand ironing of these seams involves a considerable expenditure of the time of -a highly skilled operator.
Therefore, to overcome the foregoing and other difliculties, a general object of this invention is to improve shaping and underpressing of coat seams.
It is an object of this invention to provide an underpressing buck which aids in the shaping and underpressing of front and lapel notch seams of a coat.
Another object of this invention is to provide an underpressing buck wherein the opening and pressing of a plurality of coat seams may be easily accomplished in a minimum of operations.
Another object of this invention is to provide an underpressing buck wherein a simultaneous shaping and underpressing of a pair of front seams and a pair of lapel notch seams of a coat may be accomplished in two separate operations.
Another object of this invention is to provide an underpressing buck for duel edging, having inherent simplicity and capable of easy, economical fabrication.
Other objects will appear hereinafter.
For the purpose of illustrating the invention, there is shown in the drawings a form which is presently preferred; it being understood, however, that this invention is not limited to the precise arrangements and instrumentalities shown.
Other objects and a fuller understanding of the invention may be had by referring to the following description and claims, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which the same numerals refer to corresponding parts and in which:
FIGURE 1 is a side elevational view showing a dual edger buck in profile.
FIGURE 2 is a plan view of FIGURE 1.
FIGURE 3 is an end elevational View in the direction of line 33 of FIGURE 2.
FIGURE 4 is a partial sectional view taken along line 44 of FIGURE 2.
Referring to the drawings in detail wherein like numerals indicate like elements, there is shown in FIGURE 1 a drawing of the configuration of a dual edger buck of the present invention, designated generally as 10. The base 12 is of a substantially sturdy and heavy material, such as cast iron, and has a size and shape for easy accommodation on a work bench or table. In the illustrations, a base 12 is a rectangular inverted pan providing a hollow for the collar fitting 14 at one end thereof. The fitting .14 is provided for connection to a conventional evacuation pump commonly utilized in the art and therefore not shown.
A pair of standards, 20 and 22 are fixed on the base 12 in a rigid upright position by the bolts 23. The upright standards 20 and 22 are spaced apart a desired distance for accommodation of front and lapel notch seams of a coat. The upright standards are mirror images of each other, therefore further description will refer only to upright standard 20. As illustrated by FIGURE 4, the upright standard 20 is hollow to provide an evacuation passage 24 which is in communication with the collar fitting 14 on base 12. A steam inlet conduit 25 and a steam outlet conduit 26 are provided as shown, for communication, in conventional manner, with a source of steam (not shown). The web 27 separates the evacuation passage 24 from the steam conduits 25 and 26 and also provides a strength reinforcement member within the upright standard 20. A cover plate 28 secured for screws 29 encloses the upright standard 20 as"'shown in FIG URE 1.
Dual edger buck forms are fixed at the top of the up- . right standards 20, 22. The buck forms 30, 32 and the upright standards 20, 22 are preferably of a heavy, sturdy metal casting of iron, aluminum or other suitable materials or combination of materials and are permanently afiixed together by a suitable means, such as welding. The narrow and elongated forms 30, 32 are horizontally disposed over the base 12 and in spaced parallel relationship .as shown in the figures. The forms 30, 32 are hollow and each are divided within by a substantially horizontal separating wall 31 to form a steam chamber 33 and a vacuum chamber 37. The steam chamber 33 communicates with the steam inlet and outlet conduits 25 and 26. A substantially vertical partition plate 35 within the steam chamber 33 provides a separation between the inlet and outlet conduits 25 and 26 to provide a long passageway for steam flow (in the direction of the arrow), thereby elfectuating an efficient heat transfer to the buck forms 30, 32. The vacuum chamber 37 of each buck form communicates with vacuum passageway 24 in each of the respective upright standards 20, 22. The forms vertical side members 40, 41 are parallel and hence substantially closely spaced to form the slender and elongated configuration shown. A bottom face at 43 is substantially horizontal. The surfaces 46, 47 converge from sides 40, 41 to a fiat uppermost pressing face 45. The uppermost face 45 is elongated and narrow (as best seen in FIGURES 2 and 3), extending along the uppermost edge of each of the bucks, and has an arcuate profile corresponding to a coat front seam contour. A single row of perforations 39 extends along the uppermost face 45 in communication with the vacuum chamber 37. The buck forms 30, 32 taper to a pointed end at 48 and have an opposite blunt end at 50. As illustrated, the buck forms 30, 32 are mounted on the upright standards 20, 22, respectively, at their blunt ends 50 to extend horizontally out over the base 12.
The twin bucks permit a coat to be prepositioned with both front seams simultaneously shaped. The contour of the bucks allows the fronts to fit naturally. A small, electric steam iron (not shown) is used in conjunction with the bucks to open and underpress the front seams positioned thereon. Evacuation of the vacuum chamber 37 through the passageway 24 will draw liquid contained on the garment through the perforations 39 for a more efficient press. The seams are opened and underpressed with a zip of the small, easily handled electric steam iron. A second quick movement of the coat by the operator will place both lapel notch seams in position on the extention bucks 60, 62. The lapel notch seams almost fall 'into position on the extension bucks 60, 62 as the coat fronts are slid off the large bucks 30, 32 onto the small extension bucks 60, 62. In this manner, the opening and underpressing of both front coat seams and both lapel notch collar seams may be eifectuated in two quick and easy steps.
The present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing. from the spirit or essential attributes thereof and, accordingly, reference should be made to the appended claims, rather than to-the foregoing specification as indicating the scope of the invention.
I claim:
1. A buck for opening and underpressing seams of a coat comprising: a horizontal base, an upright standard rigidly extending from said base, at least one horizontally disposed oblong and slender form mounted on said upright standard and being rigidly supported thereby, said form having an elongated narrow uppermost fiat face, said flat face when viewed from the side having an arcuate profile, said form being hollow so that it includes a separate vacuum and steam heat chamber therein, said uppermost face of said form having a row of perforations extending therealong in communication with said vacuum chamber, said form having closely spaced upstanding members, said closely spaced upstanding members converging towards said uppermost face at the uppermost ends of said members, said closely spaced members defining a tapered end and an opposite blunt end, said upright standard firmly supporting said hollow form proximate said blunt end, said standard being hollow to provide an evacuating passage in communication with said vacuum chamber; and steam conduit means within said hollow standard in communication with said steam heat chamber.
2. A buck in accordance with claim 1 including a pair of slender forms mounted on said upright standard, said forms being substantially identical, and partition means in the steam heat chamber of each of said forms facilitating movement of steam throughout each steam chamber.
