- the movable shaping element is driven by a rotary movement, which is susceptible to generate a very great horizontal feeding movement for the top shaping element supporting arms, with consequent great dangers for the machine operator.
- Further prior solutions provide to support the top shaping element by means adapted to perform vertical movements: however, these vertical movements must be necessarily limited to a comparatively narrow range, in order to prevent the vertical size of the ironing machine from being excessively increased.
- the aim of the present invention is to overcome the above mentioned drawbacks, by providing an automatic ironing machine for ironing neck and shoulder portions of a cloth article in general, which allows to perform a series of operating movements adapted to improve the ironing steps, by movements which are successively controlled and which do not generate any dangerous conditions, while providing the ironing machine with a small size .
- a main object of the present invention is to provide such an automatic ironing machine which allows to adjust the ironing length in order to proper iron the lapel portions as well as the inner top and bottom portions of a jacket.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide such an automatic ironing machine which is very reliable and safe in operation.
- Yet another object of the present invention is to provide such an automatic ironing machine which allows to perfectly iron even neck and shoulder portions of cloth articles difficult to iron, such as the neck, lapel and inner top and bottom portions of a j acket .
- jacket portions are much more difficult to iron as they are made of delicate fabrics requiring that delicate ironing steps be carried out which, on the other hand, could not be easily performed on prior ironing machines.
- This feature which represents a main characteristic of the subject automatic ironing machine, allows to provide safety devices applied to the top shaping element with a very high operating efficiency.
- control devices which have been specifically designed for control the several movement components of the top shaping element .
- the top shaping element is arrived at a position slightly spaced from the cloth article to be ironed, it is at first subjected to a slight downward vertical translation, in order to iron the neck to the lapel portions of the jacket. Then, the top shaping element is slightly raised and a pneumatic piston is operated which, through a rod, causes a lever to turn about a pivot point .
- This movement is adjusted by a plurality of limit switch elements, of different lengths, which are radially arranged on the surface of a cylinder which is rotatively driven about a shaft, by a lever controlled by the operator.
- the above mentioned adjustment is performed in order to properly fit the ironing operations to the length of the inner top and bottom portions of the j acket .
- This operation is facilitated by a suitable arrangement of the inner chambers of the shaping elements, through which are performed the vaporizing, sucking and blowing operating cycles .
- a critical region of the cloth to be ironed is that between the neck portion and inner top portions of a jacket, substantially corresponding to a lapel of a jacket.
- the top movable shaping element at the joining region of the two chambers arranged at the jacket lapel, is provided with an inner triangular ridge.
- the latter allows, by providing aligned and crossing holes, the underlaying portion to be affected by a fluid flow both during the ironing of the neck and during the ironing of the inner top and bottom portions of the jacket.
- the movements of the machine are suitably controlled by linear potentiometers which are vertically and transversely arranged.
- an automatic ironing machine for ironing the neck and shoulder portions of a cloth article in general, characterized in that said ironing machine comprises a bearing framework, defining an inner fixed shaping element and that, to said framework, are articulated supporting arms which support a plate in turn supporting a top movable shaping element.
- driving means are provided for vertically and transversely driving said supporting plate with respect to said supporting arms.
- Figure 1 is a schematic side elevation view illustrating the ironing machine according to the present invention
- Figure 2 illustrates the subject automatic ironing machine in which the top movable shaping element or manikin part is arranged in a raised position
- Figure 3 illustrates the subject automatic ironing machine with the top movable shaping element in a working condition
- Figure 4 is a top plan view of the subject automatic ironing machine
- Figure 5 is a front elevation view of the subject automatic ironing machine; and Figure 6 is a schematic view illustrating a series of possible feeding or approaching movements performed by the top movable shaping element .
- the subject automatic ironing machine for ironing the neck and shoulder portions of a cloth article in general, and which has been generally indicated by the reference number 1, comprises a bearing framework 2, which supports a fixed bottom shaping element or manikin part 3 , thereon is properly arranged a cloth article to be ironed.
- a supporting arm 10 is pivoted, said supporting arm 10 being adapted to turn about a horizontal rotary axis, indicated generally by the reference number 11.
- a supporting plate 12 supporting a top movable shaping element is coupled.
- the main feature of the invention is that said plate 12, which is operatively connected to heating means, can perform several movements and, in particular, a rotary movement obtained by the provision of an adjustable tie-rod 20 which, at one end thereof, is pivoted to a lever 21 in turn connected to said plate 12 at the transversal or cross pivoting axis 23.
- the adjusting tie-rod 20 is connected, at the other end thereof, to a swinging lever 24, which is pivoted at a middle portion 25 thereof and, at the other end thereof is coupled to a driving cylinder 26 provided for swingably driving said lever 24, in cooperation with adjustable abutments 30, provided on a cylinder 31 supported by the sidewalls of the bearing framework and driven by a lever 32 which can be engaged by the operator.
- the plate 12 is coupled to vertical driving means, including a guide frame 40, in which vertical column 41 slide in order to support said plate 12, driven by a pneumatic piston 42.
- transversal or cross driving means are provided, said transversal driving means including transversal or cross guides 50, which are coupled to a transversal or cross driving piston 51, allowing to provide a cross displacement.
- the machine comprises furthermore a plurality of control devices for controlling several movement components of the top movable shaping element 15.
- top movable shaping element is arrived at a position slightly spaced from the cloth article to be ironed, at first it is slightly vertically downwardly displaced to properly iron the neck up to the lapel of the jacket.
- a pneumatic cylinder 26 is actuated which, by operating the swinging rod 24, through the adjustable tie-rod 20, will cause the lever 21 to turn about the cross shaft 23.
- the top movable shaping element will be transversely driven by the piston 51, with a set slanting, thereby allowing to properly iron the inner top and bottom portions of the jacket, without affecting the neck portion, since the movable shaping element has been arranged at a starting raised position.
- a critical region of the cloth article to be ironed is that between the neck portion and the top inner portion, corresponding to the lapels of a jacket.
- the top movable shaping element 15 at the joining zone of the two chambers arranged at the jacket lapels, is provided with an inner triangular ridge, allowing to affect both the neck portion and inner top portion by steam jets, ejected through the crossing aligned holes.
