MEANS FOR CREASING TROUSERS.
EPECIFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 718,939, dated January 20, 1903.
' Application filed December 12 1902. Serial No. 135,004. (No model.)
To all whom it ntay concern:
Be it known that LARTHUR SIDNEY PIKE, commercial traveler, a subject of the King of Great Britain and Ireland, and a resident of No. 49 Barrington road, Crouch End, in the county of Middlesex, England, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pressing, Creasing, and Stretching Apparatus for Garment-s and the Like, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to an improved means for and methods of pressing, creasing, and stretching trousers and like garments, and has for its objects the production of an appliance which may readily be rendered portable and does not in its application break or weaken the seams and also certain methods of folding and pressing whereby the original shape of the garment may be retained without deterioration of the fabric thereof.
In order that my invention may be the better understood, I have appended the accompanying sheet of drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the appliance. Figs. 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are different Views illustrative of the methods of folding and using the appliance aforesaid. Fig. 7 is a cross-section taken through section-line 7 7 of Fig. 6.
The same letters of reference are used throughout the views.
In carrying my invention into efiect I employ three or more boards A B C D, which may be hinged at h or at other parts to allow of packing into small compass. I also use in connection therewith two or more clips E E, with fiy-screws or the like F F.
I prefer to employ two distinct methods of folding and pressing, each of which has an alternative allowing of the use of another board. In the first method the garment a b is properly folded one leg upon the other, and then the board A is placed under the front part of the legs a, as shown by Fig. 2, andB is laid upon the legs to coincide therewith, and the garmentis then folded overB longitudinally on the line 4) 20, Fig. 2, so that it presents the appearance shown by Fig. 3. The board 0 is then laid upon the upper side so presented by b and a clamp E put upon the lower part, Fig. 4, and the garment is then pulled or stretched to the required extent, when the second clamp E is placed in position and screwed tightly upon the boards A 0. According to this method the legs of the garment are together cloth to cloth when A is placed underneath and B upon the upper surface of the front of the legs. Therefore I may (after placing the front part of the legs a between A and B) as an alternative fold or place the back part of the top leg only, 1), between B and C and turning the apparatus over fold or place the back part b of the bottom leg A and D. (Not shown.)
The second method consists of folding the garment so that the legs are together cloth to cloth, as hereiubefore described, and placing the board A centrally lengthwise underneath the trousers between the folding-lines m 1 u .2, Fig. 5, the board B being placed upon the upper surface coinciding with A. The two sides of the garment a b are then folded on their respective lines w y, u a over B, as shown by the direction of arrows, Fig. 5, and boards 0 then placed as shown, Fig. 6. One of the clamps E may then be placed upon the lower part of A O, and after stretching the second clamp E may be screwed on the upper part. The alternative method is to turn the edges of the top leg only over B to come between B and O and then turn the apparatus over, the edges of the bottom leg being turned over A to come between A and D with the same manner of folding. In short, in all methods I employ a pair of outside boards and one or more intermediate or core boards, about which the trousers are folded, and my object is to produce a pile or series of alternating cloth and boards, so that the pressure will be equally distributed throughout the parts of clothing contained in the pile. This arrangement by the first methods enables me to press the creases without including the seams, which being of greater thicknesswould,ifinc1uded,receive more than their share of the pressure and entirely deprive the adjoining cloth of its pressure. By the latter methods the seams are given a layer to themselves separate from those containing the creases, so that the said creases and the seams do not come between the same pressing-surfaces.
The manipulation of garments other than trousers, such as knickerbockers and the like,
prising a narrow core-board around which both forward and rear creases of the trousersleg are adapted to be folded, a pair of outside boards adapted to receive said core-board between them with the garment thereon, and means for pressing the outside boards together.
In testimony whereof I have afiixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.
ARTHUR SIDNEY PIKE. Witnesses:
WM. 0. BROWN, FRED. 0. SMITH.
