Definitions

  • Known hand operated ironing devices are generally provided with a long shank handle.
  • the shank is grasped by the hand which forms a fist to permit movement and control of the ironing device during the ironing operation.
  • the joints located in the flat of the hand are excluded from the accomplishment of this movement of the device because the hand is formed into a fist. Therefore, in this sense, the freedom of operating the prior art devices is restricted.
  • the wrist allows only coarse movements of such a prior art ironing device across the hanging surface.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide a hand receiving assembly on the ironing device so that a sufficient amount of hot steam may be applied to the article without causing injury to the fingers and to prevent any possible contact between the operators hand and the freshly steamed clothing.
  • a still further object of the invention is to provide a holding assembly which enables the device to be gripped for safely guiding the device without undue effort into all the customary operational positions including beating and striking treatments. It is a still further object of this invention to provide a hand operated steam ironing device permitting accurate and rapid operation in conjunction with ironing presses, inflatable steam dummies and the like.
  • the steam ironing device comprises a bottom portion having a bottom ironing plate means and an upper portion including a hand receiving means located above the ironing plate means.
  • the ironing plate means includes outlet openings to allow passage of steam.
  • the hand receiving means has a structural configuration effective to enwrap at least a portion of an operators hand for protecting the operators hand and to facilitate operation of the device.
  • the hand receiving means is composed of a flexible or pliable material such as fabric.
  • the upper portion of the device includes a padded insulated layer disposed between the hand receiving means and the bottom plate means.
  • the cover plate has a structural configuration to form a steam expansion chamber between itself and the bottom ironing plate.
  • the steam expansion chamber may be divided into a plurality of sections through the use of porous inserts composed of material such as BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
  • FIG. 2 is a bottom view showing the ironing surface of the device of FIG. 1,
  • FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along line IV-IV of FIG. 3.
  • the steam expansion chamber 3 is covered by a heated cover plate9 which includes the heating element.
  • the heating element is brought into close contact with the steam expansion chamber by the pressure plate 10.
  • the electrical connection 11 serves to connect the heating element associated with cover plate 9 to an electrical supply.
  • a seal 16 is arranged to insulate the electrical connection 11 at the heated cover plate 9 with respect to the expansion chamber 3.
  • the hand receiving glove 12 is composed of a flexible or pliable material such as fabric and together with the insulating layer 15 serves to facilitate handling and operating the steam ironing device 1.
  • the insulating pocket 12 and padding layer 15 provide both a heat insulating and hand protecting effect.
  • the chamber portion or insulating pocket 12 4. extends in a direction parallelto the bottom plate 2.
  • the hand operated steaming and ironing device 1 should be as light as possible so thatit may be used as a steam ironing device. It is imperative that the weight of the device not exceed about 1,000 grams at the maximum. The total weight of the device should be from about 500 to 750 grams which weight may be achieved by manufacturing the device of light metal or plastic material.
  • a manually operated steam ironing device com-- prising 1.
  • said hand receiving means having a structural configuration eeffective to enwrap at least a portion of an operator's hand for protecting the operators hand and to facilitate operation of the device,
  • said upper portion including a padded insulated layer disposed between the hand receiving means and the bottom plate means.
  • a manually operated steam ironing device comprising:
  • said upper portion including a carrier plate portion which defines an insulating chamber above the bottom heating plate and having a padded insulated layer disposed between the hand receiving means and the bottom plate means, i
  • said hand receiving means being disposed on said carrier plate portion.
  • a manually operated steam ironing device comprising:
  • a device as defined in rialis fabric 7.
  • a manually operated steam ironing device comprising:
  • said hand receiving means being disposed on said carrier plate portion and including a chamber portion into which a portion of an operators hand is insertable and which chamber is effective to enwrap at least a portion of an operators hand for protecting the operators hand and to facilitate operation of the device.
  • a bottom portion including a heating element, a heated cover plate carrying said heating element and a bottom ironing plate means having outlet openings to allow passage of steam,
  • said hand receiving means including a chamber portion into which a portion of an operator s hand is insertable and which chamberis'effective to enwrap at least a portion of an operators hand for protecting the operators hand and to facilitate operation of the device,
