Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A method for steaming and smoothing articles'of clothing in a closed'chamber with a lockable processing chamber and with means for admitting steam and hot air. Short abrupt treatments of saturated or hot steam at constant pressure above atmospheric are introduced into the chamber and the pressure is lowered to a vacuum by condensation of the moisture onto the clothing. After several such treatments the clothes are dried by hot air which is blown thereover from above.
  • the present invention concerns a method for the steaming and smoothing of articles of clothing in a closed chamber having a lockable processing chamber with means for admitting steam and hot air.
  • the object of the present invention is to create a method with which the articles of clothing of various kinds can be smoothed, in which temperature, moisture and pressure can be varied individually and plurally in any desired manner, and the smoothing effect is considtions of steam, and pressure being capable of being reduced to a vacuum (adjustable at will) through condensation of moisture with variation of the exposure time, and that simultaneously or successively injected dry saturated steam or hot steam alone or in combination with steam admitted abruptly into the room heats the articles of clothing, after which the remaining residual steam is released and hot air is blown in bursts over the articles of clothing from top to bottom.
  • the processing chamber is filled practically instantly with a preset volume of steam.
  • the moisture contained in said steam condenses out nearly completely and abruptly on the articles of clothing, since these are initially the coldest of all parts of the processing chamber.
  • the vacuum which is formed immediately upon the first shock wave can be reduced by subsequent further single or plural shock steamings and/or admission of saturated or hot steam, so that in the following steaming phase a rapid heating of the articles of clothing upon evaporation of the moisture on the fibers is achieved, with the resultant excess pressure in the processing chamber being limited as to duration and maghand leads to a discharge of the evaporated liquid, with erably improved with respect to the heretofore known methods.
  • the object is achieved according to the invention primarily in that an excess pressure is created in the chamber that is to accept the articles of clothing to be smoothed by means of one or more short, abrupt injeca suction effect being exerted on the articles of clothing by the hot air passing over them from top to bottom;
  • a brief pause can be introduced between the single or plural phases of steam admission and between the end of the steam admission and the beginning of the hot-air drying, in order to produce a prolonged time of action of the steam and moisture on the articles of clothing, with the admission of steam and heat being controlled and limited by adjustable temperature ranges.
  • the invention enables the application of a substantively adhering wet impregnating agent, a scent or deodorant to eliminate the odor of perspiration or other means, in such a manner that the agents are sprayed by a special spraying device into the closed saturation chamber, with the steam acting as the carrier.
  • water of condensation or percolated condensate can be sprayed together with hot steam or dry saturated steam in order to deposit a still larger amount of moisture on the cloth during the shock moistening than the steam alone contains.
  • the additional moistening of the steam burst can also be accomplished by having a conventional expansion nozzle spray wet steam with a high moisture content.
  • the process is advantageously carried out in such a manner that the quantity of air and hence the air velocity can be continuously adjusted by changing the air inlet cross section and varied as desired during the hot air drying, in order to attain an optimum match to the special conditions required for the articles to be processed.
  • the'hot air temperature can be regulated and limited alone or interacting with conventional temperature limiting devices.
  • the state and characteristics of the processing steam can be varied depending on the conditions of the articles of clothing to be processed in one or more temperature ranges, which are governed by conventional thermostatic limiting devices. This is achieved by appropriate charging with a shock burst of steam from a steam storage device, saturated or hot steam from an annular nozzle device, and/or additional moistening of the steam by spraying water of condensation or percolation condensate and- /or moistening by means of a wet steam nozzle, with each device adjustable either alone or in combination with others.
  • the invention also pertains to a method for smoothing articles of clothing in a closed chamber with a lockable processing chamber with means for input of steam and hot air.
  • the device for practicing the method of the invention is primarily characterized in that the processing chamber is made in the form of a pressure chamber, that an excess pressure valve, a nozzle arrangement for separate or combined feed of steam in different conditions, of water of condensation or percolator condensate and a saturated or heated steam intermediate storage device are provided for abrupt shock damping.
  • the air inlet pipe of a hot-air blower is connected to the roof portion of the processing chamber.
  • the air pipe and guide system are heated.
  • a supplementary heater is mounted on the floor of the processing chamber to avoid condensation, wherein the supplementary heater, according to a further feature of the invention, is covered by a strainer disk mounted some distance above it. This avoids having some article of clothing possibly fall from the hanger and come in contact with the floor heater and possibly be damaged.
  • the nozzle chamber located horizontally in the lower part of the processing chamber is advantageously heated in the same way.
  • a heat register is mounted in known fashion in the air inlet path of the blower.
  • the heat register is constructed according to the invention in such a manner that a large free cross section exists between the heating plates and the heating pipes, in order to keep the intake resistance to a minimum.
  • the cold air intake openings are made so that their cross section is at least 25 times greater than the intake opening of the hot air blower. This results in the intake noise being largely reduced at the same time as the air resistance is lowered.
  • a fixed carrier track is provided according to the invention in said chamber, as well as a connecting tank that can be raised or lowered automatically, located outside the chamber and above the doors of the processing chamber. This ensures that the articles of clothing suspended on a movable carrier can be shifted from said carrier to the processing chamber and removed again from said chamber after processing, preferably by means of a switching arrangement, with the track arrangement of the carrier being selected so that the loading and unloading can be carried out in a continuous sequence.
  • the carrier tracks according to another feature of the invention are also heated to prevent condensation of the steam on these relatively cooler metal parts.
  • the arrangement is advantageously made so that the heat for the air intake and guide system, the carrier rails, heat register, flow and nozzle chamber heat are connected in series.
  • the nozzle arrangement for supplying various kinds of steam is advantageously made so that an annular nozzle surrounding the shock steam nozzle serves for the saturated steam.
  • a wet steam nozzle or alternately a nozzle to moisten the steam with water of condensation or percolated condensate is mounted in the mouth of the shock steam nozzle.
  • an exhaust air flap is provided in one wall of the processing chamber and the blower has an adjustable intake flap.
  • the arrangement is such that the exhaust and inlet flaps open before the hot air blower is turned
  • a shaft motor with automatic end-point shut-off or a hydraulically or pneumatically operable cylinder and piston arrangement is advantageously employed for moving the intake flap for the blower.
  • the intake flap is made cone-shaped and provided with a sealing means against the intake air and the steam backpressure.
  • the automatically limiting drive of the shaft motor or cylinder piston arrangement is continuously adjustable in all directions of movement.
  • a hydraulically or pneumatically operable cylinder and piston arrangement is provided to control the exhaust flap.
  • At least one more nozzle with a stream axis parallel to the shock steam nozzle is provided.
  • the apparatus according to the invention is automatically controlled, with steering means provided for the accomplishment of the individual processes of the shock smoothing treatment.
  • steering means provided for the accomplishment of the individual processes of the shock smoothing treatment.
  • a known variety of pro grammed-card control mechanism can be used for control.
  • Closing the processing chamber door automatically actuates a door lock through a pushbutton switch and the completelyjautomatic execution of the program is started (after looking is complete by means of the drive provided therefor) by means of a start switch.
  • Actuating the processing chamber door to move it from the open position also advantageously activates switching means to cause the carrier track to drop after opening (and to rise upon closing) of the processing chamber door.
  • the movable carriers supporting the transport means which slide on the carrier rails, are provided with a spring loaded section for hanging up the articles of clothing to be processed. This ensures that depending on the type of articles of clothing only the maxi-' mum number of articles admissible in each case will be added, and thus the amount of space for free movement (especially necessary in hot-air drying) is left to allow the clothes toflutter and the setting of creases produced by forced folding due to insufficient space for movement is avoided.
  • deep indentations are provided for two different types of clothing.
  • the ratio of the indentations of different depths is approximately 1:2.
