Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial application field This invention relates to a trowel for press finishing machines for clothes.

Conventional technology and its problems Press-finishing machines for clothes usually consist of a heating pot and a trowel, and the clothes placed in the heating pot are press-finished by the trowel. If there are wrinkles or looseness, when pressed with a trowel, the product will be wrinkled and the value of the product will be diminished. Pressing clothes to smooth out wrinkles and looseness is time-consuming and difficult.

Means to Solve the Problem In order to solve the above problem, this invention divides the iron into multiple parts and connects each part with a curved leaf spring, so that when pressed against the heating pot, the leaf spring stretches and each part of the iron It is made to expand, allowing the garment to be stretched and pressed for finishing in a stretched state.

Although the present invention can be applied to trowels in press finishing machines for clothing in general, it is most desirable to apply it to trowels in trouser press machines in particular. Pants tend to wrinkle at the seam of the fabric that runs along the length of the legs, and the seam allowance is thick, so when pressed with a trowel, the seam wrinkles or lines form on the steps. It is common practice to split the iron into two pieces, connect them with a curved leaf spring at an appropriate distance, and press the seamed part of the pants by applying it between the two pieces of the iron. This is because the seamed part will not be pressed and will be in a state of being stretched on both sides, which will eliminate wrinkles and creases caused by steps.

The heating pot may be oriented horizontally like the previous one, and clothes can be placed over it, but it is preferably oriented vertically, with the A hanger is provided for hanging clothes as shown. This is because clothes hung on a hanger tend to have wrinkles and slack due to their own weight.

Embodiment The heating pot 1 is vertically oriented and has an elongated oval cross section, and the upper end has a curved shape that fits the crotch so that the pants 2 can be worn with the crotch stretched. Both sides are finished with countless steam ejection holes,
8637, that is, the switching device 3 which is disposed in the flow path leading from the blower (not shown) to the heating pot 1, and which switches the intake and discharge of air to the heating pot 1 by pressing a foot pedal. It is rotatably supported by a pipe-shaped duct 4 that constitutes a part of the flow path. Two steam pipes 5 and 6 are also attached to the heating pot 1, one of which is connected to a boiler (not shown) via a valve, and the other pipe 6 is connected to outside air. Either an opening is provided to allow steam to escape to the outside, or it is connected to a condenser.
The steam discharged from the heating pot 1 can be condensed.

A pair of rails 9 are arranged on both sides of the heating pot 1 on the base frame 8, and a U-shaped support plate 11 is slidably supported on both rails 9, and boxes 12 are placed at symmetrical positions across the groove. is firmly attached. A press plate 15 is supported in each box 12 so as to be slidable in the left-right direction by a pair of guide pins 13 and a forked rod 14 between the two guide pins, and the two protrusions of the forked rod 14 protrude into the box. and one end of a bell crank 16 whose intermediate portion is pivotally supported on the box 12 are connected by a link 17. It is attached to the shaft.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the holding plate 15 is further provided with leaf springs 21 which are bent concavely toward the heating pot 1 on the upper and lower sides of the holding plate 15, respectively, with headed pins 22.
That is, the plate spring 21 is supported movably toward the heating pot 1 and moved toward the heating pot 1 by a compression spring 23 wound around a pin 22 between the presser plate 15 and the plate spring 21.
It seems to be pushing towards. The trowel 24 is divided into left and right parts, and each divided part is connected at an appropriate interval by the leaf spring 21 above and below, respectively.

When the piston rod 19 protrudes, the bell crank 16 rotates counterclockwise in FIG.
Both trowels 24 are pressed against the heating pot 1 through the trowels 1 and 1.
When both trowels 24 are strongly pressed against the heating pot 1, the curved leaf spring 21 stretches, and accordingly, both trowels 24
begins to spread along the finished surface of the heating pot 1 in the direction of the arrow in FIG. piston rod 19
When the trowel 24 moves backward, both trowels 24 operate in the opposite manner to the above, and are separated from the heating pot 1.

Although not shown, the substrate 8 also includes a support plate 11.
An actuating device is provided which is connected to the trowel 24 and includes an air cylinder, thereby placing the trowel 24 in the non-use position shown in solid lines in FIG. It is set up so that it can be switched.

Reference numeral 26 denotes a vertical air cylinder, which is erected on both sides of the base frame 8. An arm 29 is rotatably supported on a stand 28 fixed to the upper end of the piston rod 27, and the air cylinder is connected to the stand 28. 30, it can be turned horizontally. The arm 29 has a hanger 31 suspended from its free end that holds the waist of the pants from the inside, and a fan 32 is attached to its base end.
1, so that it can be blown out to the side from around the hanger. The duct is also connected to a steam pipe connected to a boiler (not shown), so that steam as well as air can be injected from the hanger 31.

Operation With the iron 24 switched to the non-use position, the waist part of the pants 2 is placed over the hanger 31 which is lowered at a position away from the heating pot 1, and is held by an appropriate means. After the pants 2 are hung on the hanger 31, the piston rod 27 of the air cylinder 26 is manually raised to raise the pants suspended on the hanger 31, and then the air cylinder 30 is rotated to a set position above the heating pot 1. At this position, both hems of the pants are guided to both sides of the heating pot 1 and lowered.

Next, the actuating device moves the trowels 24 along the rail 9, switches them to the use position and makes them face the heating pot 1, and then the piston rod 19 of the air cylinder 18 is made to protrude, so that each trowel 24 disposed on both sides of the heating pot are simultaneously extruded toward the heating pot 1, and the seamed parts of the trousers are sandwiched between both sides of the heating pot 1, and both side edges are pressed against the heating pot 1 and pressed. As the iron 24 is pressed against the heating cauldron 1, it spreads laterally as described above, pulling the pants 2 laterally. At the same time, steam is injected from the finished surfaces on both sides of the heating pot and from the hanger 31. As a result, the trouser 24 presses down both side edges of the legs of the trousers, causing the seams and the waist to bulge out, thereby removing wrinkles and other curls from each part. After stopping the steam injection, air is blown out from the blower and fan to dry the pants.

According to this embodiment, the trousers are pressed with their own weight in the longitudinal direction and with a trowel in the transverse direction, so that wrinkle-free pressed products can be obtained.

In the above embodiment, the heating pot is oriented vertically, and the trowel is placed on both sides of the pot so that press finishing can be performed on both sides of the pot, but in another embodiment, the trowel is placed on one side of the pot. is placed so that both legs of the pants are pressed against one side of the heating pot. In yet another embodiment, the heating pot is turned sideways;
A trowel provided above the trowel is constructed in the same manner as described above.

Effects of the invention As described above, the trowel of the present invention is divided into multiple parts and is connected by a curved leaf spring, and when the clothes attached to the heating pot are pressurized with the trowel, the leaf spring stretches and the trowel moves. As each part expands, the garment is stretched and pressed to smooth out wrinkles and looseness, making it possible to obtain a pressed product without wrinkles.
