Definitions

  • This invention relates to an apparatus applying steam, heat and pressure on hang-up fabrics under tension, to be smoothened quickly and effortlessly.
  • ironing is to use a heated tool to remove wrinkles from fabrics, the normal temperature under which the heating is carried out is between 180-220 °Celsius, depending on the fabric's material, Ironing loosen the bonds between the fabric's material long-chains (polymer molecules), then the weight or press of the iron will straighten them, to get a shape which they will hold after getting cooler.
  • the steam brush also has its disadvantages, such as: its effective surface area is small, and so the user need to move his hand up-down too many times to cover the whole fabric, the lower side of each part of the fabric should be pulled by hand to smoothen and straighten it, exposing this hand to the heat of the steam, and so it is easy to accidently steam burn, for longer clothes, the user need to lean and bend then stand repeatedly, and so it is uncomfortable, as the hand cannot apply a full 2-D tension from all the edges at once to achieve a full fabric smoothening and straightening, the final shape of clothes will not be wrinkle free, also it is not removing bigger wrinkles at all.
  • a motorized sweeper iron disc (Disciron) is used to remove a fixed fabric wrinkles, without the use of hands to smoothen the fabric while the ironing is taking place, and with an iron heated metallic surface that does not face the user or fells down, it is modified to carry out these tasks, in cooperation with a fast time saving ironing process, which will be reflected on power saving.
  • An electric control circuit is installed inside the Disciron to control the timing and temperature of the heat generation unit (heater), the steam temperature, and the motor timed operation.

  • the sponge 51 and the minor radial flexibility of the spring 52 will help much in creating an ironing surface with inwards elasticity, that respond elastically to be retarded flexibly inwards when the Disciron 33 face press on a thick part of the fabric 30, and so the Disciron 33 will not get stuck, neither the fabric 30 get curled or crunched.

  • the iron disc 33 will start moving up, surrounding the whole fabric 30; the upper chamfered edge will start pushing steam towards the lower edge of the fabric 30 to flex and loosen the bonds between the fabric's material long-chains freely without pressure, as a pre-steaming stage that will relatively smoothen the fabric 30, before the pressing vertical part of the iron disc 33 will come after it, and press on the fabric in addition to steaming it, followed by the third stage of steaming flexibly and freely the fabric 30, via the lower chamfered edge.
  • the motor 22 programmed controller 62 will reverse its motion direction, where it will unroll the strings 28 downward, and as a result the iron disc 33 will start moving downward, now the lower chamfered edge will make a flexibly free pre-steaming, then the vertical part of the soledisc 33 will carry out ironing with steaming, followed by the upper chamfered edge steaming, to flex the fabric 30 more.
  • the motor's programmed controllers 62 will stop the motor, while the timed delay opening relay 64 switch off the water pump 36, by opening the water pump 36 electric circuit, and so the water pump 36 also stops, as a result steaming stops.
  • each cycle of fabric 30 smoothening consists of two ironing-steaming stages, and four (iron press-free) steaming stages, also to make the ironing operation more smooth, the thickness of the sponge 51 around the cylinder 23 is made a little bit thicker, so that when the ironed fabric is thick, and as the iron disc 21 diameter is fixed, the pressed fabric 30 will not be crunched in- between the moveable soledisc 33 and the cylinder 23, but the thick fabric 30 will be pressed toward the spongy cylinder 23, which will retard flexibly and elastically inwards under the press of the thick fabric 30, that is strongly pressed by the soledisc 33.
