Abstract

A shirt-smoothing device includes a lower part and an inflatable body fixed thereon. Because the inflatable body must be at least the same size as the shirt to be smoothed, the device has considerable height, however, the rigid components in the area of the inflatable body are lowerable to handle the device more easily and, more particularly, to stow it away easily. An internally disposed supporting frame and a button strip tensioner disposed in front of the inflatable body can be lowered after use into the lower part, whereby the inflatable body, which is exclusively connected to the supporting frame at the top becomes folded. The same applies to flexible inflatable support bodied and support nets disposed between the inflatable body and the supporting frame. The storage space required for the shirt smoothing device can be substantially reduced by the invention and the handling and storage thereof simplified.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Glätten von Hemden nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a device for smoothing shirts according to the preamble of claim 1.

Eine derartige Vorrichtung ist beispielsweise aus der WO 99/49 123 A1 bekannt.Such a device is known for example from WO 99/49 123 A1.

Der Erfindung stellt sich die Aufgabe, bei einer Vorrichtung zum Glätten von Hemden der eingangs genannten Art eine kompaktere Ausführung zur besseren Unterbringung zu erzielen.The invention has for its object in a device for smoothing shirts to achieve a more compact design for better accommodation.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe durch die im Patentanspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den nachfolgenden Unteransprüchen.According to the invention, this object is achieved by those specified in claim 1 Features solved. Advantageous refinements and developments of the invention result resulting from the following subclaims.

Durch den großen Anteil des Blähkörpers an der Gesamthöhe der Hemdenglättvorrichtung lassen sich mittels der Erfindung wesentlich kompaktere Abmessungen der Hemdenglättvorrichtung außerhalb des Betriebszustands erzielen. Gerade in diesem Zustand, in dem die Vorrichtung verstaut werden muss, sind geringe Abmessungen notwendig. Im Betriebszustand fällt eine große Höhe hingegen nicht nachteilig, ins Gewicht, da die Hemdenglättvorrichtung zum Bedienen ohnehin frei aufgestellt werden muss. Innerhalb des Blähkörpers können weitere, insbesondere mit höherem Druck beaufschlagte Innenblähkörper angeordnet sein, die ebenfalls bei einem Versenken des Oberteils zusammengefaltet werden können. Diese Innenblähkörper können sich an der Tragekonstruktion abstützen, um die Blähkörperhülle an bestimmten Stellen gezielt nach außen drücken zu können. Dabei können die Verbindungselemente zwischen den Innenblähkörpern und der Tragekonstruktion zur Aufnahme der Druckkräfte an der Tragekonstruktion verschiebbar befestigt sein, um sich bei einem Versenken der Tragekonstruktion zusammenschieben zu lassen. So können die Innenblähkörper mit Schlaufen oder Ringen versehen sein, die entlang der Tragekonstruktion verschiebbar sind. Weiterhin können als Tragekonstruktion versenkbare Stäbe verwendet werden, zwischen denen Netze bzw. luftdurchlässige Gewebeabschnitte gespannt sind, gegen die sich die Innenblähkörper abstützen können und deren Verbindungen zu den Stäben entlang dieser verschiebbar sind. Beispielsweise können die Netze bzw. die luftdurchlässigen Gewebeabschnitte an den Stäben mit einfachen Schlaufen oder Ringen befestigt sein.Due to the large proportion of the inflatable body in the overall height of the shirt smoothing device can be much more compact dimensions of the shirt smoothing device by means of the invention achieve outside of the operating state. Just in this state in which the device must be stowed, small dimensions are necessary. in the Operating condition, on the other hand, a large height is not disadvantageous, because the shirt smoothing device must be set up to operate anyway. Within the Inflatable bodies can have further inner inflatable bodies, in particular those which are subjected to higher pressure be arranged, which are also folded when the upper part is sunk can be. These inner inflatable bodies can be supported on the supporting structure, around the inflatable body shell at certain points can. The connecting elements between the inner inflatable bodies and the Carrying structure to absorb the compressive forces on the supporting structure be attached to push together when the support structure is sunk allow. The inner inflatable body can be provided with loops or rings that are slidable along the support structure. Can also be used as a supporting structure retractable rods are used, between which nets or air-permeable fabric sections are excited against which the inner inflatable body can be supported and whose connections to the bars are slidable along these. For example can the nets or the air-permeable fabric sections on the rods with simple Loops or rings are attached.

Um das Versenken eines Knopfleistenspanners nicht zu behindern, ist eine Verbindung zwischen der Tragekonstruktion und dem Knopfleistenspanner vorteilhafterweise nur am oberen Ende angeordnet, so dass sich der dazwischenliegende Bereich des Blähkörpers beim Versenken der Tragekonstruktion bzw. des Knopfleistenspanners zusammenfalten kann.In order not to hinder the sinking of a button bar tensioner, there is a connection between the support structure and the button bar tensioner advantageously only on Upper end arranged so that the intermediate region of the inflatable body fold in when sinking the support structure or the button bar tensioner can.

Bei vorgesehenem Knopfleistenspanner kommt es dazu, dass der im Betrieb gespannte Blähkörper hinten an der Rückseite des Knopfleistenspanners anliegt. Dabei kann an den beiden Seiten des Knopfleistenspanners ein Abstand zwischen dem Blähkörper und einem gespannten Hemd entstehen, da sowohl das Hemd als auch der Blähkörper straff gezogen sind und sich zwischen dem Hemd und dem Blähkörper ein Teil des Knopfleistenspanners befindet, gegen das die Knopfleiste bzw. Knopflochleiste zur Fixierung geklemmt wird. Ein solcher Abstand führt dazu, dass der Blähsack sich nicht gegen die Bereiche des Hemds schmiegt, die nahe bei dem Knopfleistenspanner liegen und das Glättergebnis in diesen Bereichen verschlechtert werden kann.If the button strip tensioner is provided, the tensioned during operation occurs Inflatable body bears against the back of the button bar tensioner. It can be to the a distance between the inflatable body and one on both sides of the button bar tensioner tense shirt arise because both the shirt and the inflatable body taut are pulled and between the shirt and the inflatable part of the button bar tensioner against which the button panel or buttonhole panel is clamped for fixation becomes. Such a distance means that the inflatable bag is not against the areas hugs the shirt, which are close to the button placket tensioner and the smoothing result can deteriorate in these areas.

Um dies zu verhindern, ist die Rückseite des Knopfleistenspanners im wesentlichen gewölbt und nähert sich an den Rändern in einem flachen Winkel der Ebene, in der die Knopfleiste bzw. die Knopflochleiste eines zu glättenden Hemds festgespannt wird. Auf diese Weise kann sich der Blähkörper im aufgeblähten Zustand bereits in sehr geringem Abstand zu den Rändern des Knopfleistenspanners von hinten an das zu glättende Hemd schmiegen. Die Bereiche des Hemds nahe der Knopfleiste bzw. der Knopflochleiste werden auf diese Weise keinen abrupten Übergängen ausgesetzt, so dass ein Glätten des Hemds ohne Falten erreicht werden kann. To prevent this, the back of the button bar tensioner is essentially curved and approaches the edges at a flat angle to the plane in which the Button bar or the buttonhole bar of a shirt to be smoothed is tightened. On in this way the inflatable body can become very small in the inflated state Distance to the edges of the button placket tensioner from behind on the shirt to be smoothed nestle. The areas of the shirt near the button panel or buttonhole panel will be not exposed to abrupt transitions in this way, so that smoothing of the Shirts can be achieved without wrinkles.

Die in Fig. 1 dargestellte Hemdenglättvorrichtung weist ein Unterteil 3 mit einem darauf befestigten hemdförmigen Blähkörper 1 auf, der zum Spannen eines darüber gezogenen Hemds dient. Dazu sind im Unterteil 3 ein Gebläse 6, eine Heizeinrichtung 7 und ein Luftkanal 8 angeordnet, mit denen ein heißer Luftstrom erzeugt werden kann. Der Luftstrom wird von Luftkanal 8 in zwei Teilluftströme aufgeteilt die zu einer linken bzw. einer rechten Auslassöffnung des Unterteils 3 geleitet werden.The shirt smoothing device shown in FIG. 1 has a lower part 3 with one thereon attached shirt-shaped inflatable body 1, for tensioning a pulled over it Shirt. For this purpose, there is a blower 6, a heating device 7 and an air duct in the lower part 3 8 arranged with which a hot air flow can be generated. The airflow is divided by air duct 8 into two partial air flows, one to the left and one to the right Outlet opening of the lower part 3 are passed.

An den beiden Auslassöffnungen ist jeweils einer der beiden Stützkörper 2 angeschlossen, die im Inneren des Blähkörpers 1 angeordnet sind und dazu dienen, den Rumpfabschnitt des Blähkörpers 1 an den Seiten nach außen zu drücken, um ihm so einen flachen Querschnitt zu verleihen. Die Stützkörper 2 sind ebenso wie der Blähkörper 1 aus einem luftdurchlässigen, flexiblen Material gefertigt, beispielsweise Kunstfasergewebe. Die Stützkörper 2 erstrecken sich im wesentlichen über die gesamte Höhe des Rumpfabschnitts des Blähkörpers 1.One of the two support bodies 2 is connected to each of the two outlet openings, which are arranged inside the inflatable body 1 and serve the fuselage section of the inflatable body 1 on the sides to push it out so that it is flat To give cross section. The support body 2, like the inflatable body 1, are made of one air-permeable, flexible material, for example synthetic fiber fabric. The Support body 2 extend essentially over the entire height of the fuselage section of the inflatable body 1.

An dem Unterteil 3 ist weiterhin ein Tragegestell 5 mittels Buchsen höhenverschiebbar befestigt. Im ausgezogenen Zustand erstreckt sich das Tragegestell 5 bis über die Höhe der Stützkörper 2 im aufgeblähten Zustand. On the lower part 3, a support frame 5 is also vertically displaceable by means of bushings attached. In the extended state, the support frame 5 extends to the height the support body 2 in the inflated state.

Auf dem Tragegestell 5 ist ein Oberteil 4 befestigt, an dem der Blähkörper 1 oben befestigt ist und der zum Fixieren und Spannen des Kragens eines aufgelegten Hemds dient. Dazu sind am Oberteil 4 zwei Spannklappen 10 angeordnet, mit denen die beiden Enden eines aufgestellten Kragens fixiert werden können. Weiterhin weist das Oberteil 4 eine hinten angeordnete nicht dargestellte Vorrichtung zum Spannen eines an seinen Enden fixierten Hemdkragens in Umfangsrichtung auf.On the support frame 5, an upper part 4 is attached, on which the inflatable body 1 is attached above and is used to fix and tension the collar of a shirt on. For this purpose, two clamping flaps 10 are arranged on the upper part 4, with which the two ends of an erected collar can be fixed. Furthermore, the upper part 4 has a Rear device, not shown, for tensioning a device at its ends fixed shirt collar in the circumferential direction.

In Fig. 3 ist die innenliegende Konstruktion zum Halten und Stützen des Blähkörpers 1 perspektivisch mit weiteren Einzelheiten dargestellt. Das Tragegestell 5 umfasst vier Stützrohre 11, die innerhalb der Buchsen 9 im Unterteil höhenverschiebbar gelagert sind. Zwischen den zwei links bzw. den zwei rechts angeordneten Stützrohren 11 ist jeweils ein Stütznetz 12 gespannt. Die Stütznetze 12 sind an den Seiten mittels Schlaufen an den Stützrohren 11 befestigt, wobei die Schlaufen entlang der Stützrohre 11 gleiten können. Die Stütznetze 12 dienen zum Abstützen der Stützkörper 2, damit diese im aufgeblähten Zustand von innen einen nach außen gerichteten Druck auf die Seiten des Rumpfabschnitts des Blähkörpers 1 ausüben können. Die Stützkörper 2 sind mit einem unteren Abschnitt an den Auslassöffnungen des Unterteils 3 und mit einem oberen Abschnitt am oberen Ende des Tragegestells 5 befestigt. Die Stütznetze 12 sind unten am Unterteil 3 und oben am oberen Ende des Tragegestells 5 befestigt.3 is the internal construction for holding and supporting the inflatable body 1 shown in perspective with further details. The support frame 5 comprises four Support tubes 11, which are mounted within the bushings 9 in the lower part so as to be vertically displaceable. Between the two support tubes 11 on the left and the two on the right is one Support network 12 stretched. The support nets 12 are on the sides by means of loops on the Support tubes 11 attached, wherein the loops can slide along the support tubes 11. The support nets 12 serve to support the support body 2 so that they are inflated Condition from the inside an outward pressure on the sides of the fuselage section of the inflatable body 1 can exercise. The support body 2 are with a lower Section at the outlet openings of the lower part 3 and with an upper section on attached upper end of the support frame 5. The support nets 12 are at the bottom of the lower part 3 and attached to the top of the support frame 5 at the top.

Weiterhin weist das Unterteil 3 einen Knopfleistenspanner 13 auf, der am vorderen Rand des Unterteils 3 im wesentlichen mittig höhenverstellbar gelagert ist. Der in Fig. 4 im Querschnitt dargestellte Knopfleistenspanner 13 dient zum Fixieren der Knopfleiste bzw. der Knopflochleiste eines aufgelegten Hemds 19, damit dieses vom Blähkörper 1 gespannt werden kann. Der Knopfleistenspanner 13 weist ein ovales Stützrohr 18 und eine Stützleiste 17 auf, zwischen denen ein luftdurchlässiger Spannkörper 14 angeordnet ist, der beispielsweise aus einem Lochblech gefertigt sein kann. Bei einer ausreichenden Stabilität der übrigen Teile, insbesondere der Stützleiste 17 und des Spannkörpers 14, kann das ovale Stützrohr 18 entbehrlich sein. Der Spannkörper 14 besitzt die Form eines niedrigen Trapezes, dessen Grundfläche auf der dem Blähkörper 1 abgewendeten Seite liegt und dessen Seitenflächen in einem flachen Winkel ansteigen.Furthermore, the lower part 3 has a button strip tensioner 13, which is on the front edge of the lower part 3 is mounted in a height-adjustable manner in the middle. The in Fig. 4 in Button bar tensioner 13 shown in cross section serves to fix the button bar or the buttonhole bar of a shirt 19, so that this is stretched by the inflatable body 1 can be. The button strip tensioner 13 has an oval support tube 18 and one Support bar 17, between which an air-permeable clamping body 14 is arranged, which can be made from a perforated sheet, for example. With a sufficient Stability of the other parts, in particular the support bar 17 and the clamping body 14, the oval support tube 18 can be dispensed with. The clamping body 14 has the shape of a low trapezes, the base of which on the side facing away from the inflatable body 1 lies and the side surfaces rise at a flat angle.

An den Rändern der Stützleiste 17 sind jeweils Klappen 15 angelenkt, die über die Höhe des Knopfleistenspanners 13 in mehrere Abschnitte unterteilt sind. Die Klappen 15 weisen jeweils Füllungen 16 aus einem flexiblen und gegebenenfalls luftdurchlässigen Material auf. Die Füllungen 16 können an der Oberfläche, auf der beim Festspannen der Knopfleiste bzw. Knopflochleiste das Gewebe des Hemds 19 zu liegen kommt, mit einer Antirutschbeschichtung versehen sein. Diese kann beispielsweise kurze Borsten aufweisen, die nach innen in Richtung der Stützleiste 17 geneigt sind, um das Gewebe des Hemds 19 gegen den bei aufgeblähtem Blähkörper 1 nach außen gerichteten Zug halten zu können. Jeder der Klappen 15 ist jeweils ein Federelement zugeordnet. Die Federelemente sorgen dafür, dass die Klappen 15 bis zu einem bestimmten Punkt gegen den Spannkörper 14 gepresst werden und oberhalb des Punkts vom Spannkörper weg in einer offenen Stellung gehalten werden. Die einzelnen Federelemente können einzelne Laschen einer einigen Federplatte sein. Damit können auf einfache Weise mit einem Teil mehrere unabhängig voneinander wirkende Federelemente geschaffen werden.At the edges of the support bar 17 flaps 15 are articulated, the height the button bar tensioner 13 are divided into several sections. The flaps 15 have each fillings 16 made of a flexible and possibly air-permeable material on. The fillings 16 can on the surface on which the clamping Button placket or buttonhole placket the fabric of shirt 19 comes to rest with a Be provided with anti-slip coating. This can, for example, short bristles have, which are inclined in the direction of the support bar 17 to the tissue the shirt 19 against the outward movement when the inflatable body 1 is inflated to be able to hold. A spring element is assigned to each of the flaps 15. The Spring elements ensure that the flaps 15 counter to a certain point the clamping body 14 are pressed and above the point away from the clamping body in held in an open position. The individual spring elements can be individual Be a few spring plate tabs. So you can easily with one part several independently acting spring elements are created.

Zum Glätten wird das Hemd 19 insbesondere in einem feuchten Zustand bei herausgezogenem Tragegestell 5 auf den Blähkörper 1 aufgelegt. Dabei werden zunächst die Klappen 15 des Knopfleistenspanners 13 sowie die entsprechend ausgelegten Klappen 10 des Oberteils 4 geöffnet. Die Knopfleiste bzw. die Knopflochleiste sowie die Kragenspitzen werden unter die Klappen 15 bzw. 10 gelegt und durch Schließen der Klappen 15 bzw. 10 fixiert. Der Hemdkragen wird zum Glätten durch Betätigen der Kragenspannvorrichtung im oberen Teil 4 in Umfangsrichtung gespannt. Anschließend wird das Gebläse 6 zusammen mit der Heizeinrichtung 7 in Betrieb gesetzt, worauf erwärmte Luft in die Stützkörper 2 geleitet wird. Aus den Stützkörpem 2 strömt die Luft durch deren luftdurchlässige Hüllen in den Blähkörper 1, bläht diesen auf und strömt anschließend durch dessen ebenfalls luftdurchlässige Hülle zu dem aufgelegten Hemd 19, das durch die Einwirkung von Zugspannung und Hitze geglättet wird. Im stationären Zustand herrscht in den Stützkörpern 2 ein höherer Druck als im Blähkörper 1, beispielsweise in Höhe von 6 mbar in den Stützkörpem 2 gegenüber einem Druck von 3 mbar im Blähkörper 1. Die Stützkörper 2 stützen sich nach innen gegen die Stütznetze 12 ab und drücken den Rumpfabschnitt des Blähkörpers 1 an den Seiten nach außen.For smoothing the shirt 19 is in particular in a moist state when pulled out Carrying frame 5 placed on the inflatable body 1. First, the flaps 15 of the button strip tensioner 13 and the correspondingly designed flaps 10 of the upper part 4 opened. The button placket or buttonhole placket as well as the collar tips are placed under the flaps 15 and 10 and by closing the flaps 15 or 10 fixed. The shirt collar becomes smooth by operating the collar tensioner stretched in the upper part 4 in the circumferential direction. Then the blower 6 put into operation together with the heater 7, whereupon heated air into the support body 2 is directed. The air flows out of the support body 2 through its air-permeable one Envelopes in the inflatable body 1, inflates it and then flows through it as well air-permeable cover to the shirt 19, which is caused by the action of Tension and heat is smoothed. In the steady state there is in the support bodies 2 a higher pressure than in the inflatable body 1, for example in the amount of 6 mbar in the Support body 2 against a pressure of 3 mbar in the inflatable body 1. The support body 2 are supported inwards against the support nets 12 and press the fuselage section of the Inflatable body 1 on the sides to the outside.

Ein in einem feuchten Zustand aufgelegtes Hemd 19 wird vom aufgeblähten Blähkörper 1 gespannt, dabei getrocknet und auf diese Weise geglättet. Dabei legt sich der Blähkörper 1 von hinten gegen den Knopfleistenspanner 13, wobei die Luft durch den luftdurchlässigen Spannkörper 14 hindurch zu der fixierten Knopfleiste bzw. Knopflochleiste strömen kann, um diese zu trocknen. Aufgrund der geneigten Seitenflächen des Spannkörpers 14 liegt der Blähkörper 1 bereits ab einem sehr geringen Abstand zum Spannkörper 14 von hinten an das Hemd 19 an. Die Bereiche des Hemds 19 nahe der Knopfleiste bzw. der Knopflochleiste werden auf diese Weise ohne Knicke gehalten, so dass beim Glätten von der Fixierung keine Falten erzeugt werden.A shirt 19 which is put on in a moist state is removed from the inflated inflatable body 1 stretched, dried and smoothed in this way. The inflatable body lies down 1 from behind against the button bar tensioner 13, the air through the air-permeable Flow the tensioning body 14 through to the fixed button strip or buttonhole strip can to dry them. Due to the inclined side surfaces of the clamping body 14 the inflatable body 1 is already at a very small distance from the clamping body 14 of back of shirt 19. The areas of the shirt 19 near the button panel or the Buttonhole placket are held in this way without kinks, so that when smoothing no wrinkles are created during fixation.

Nach dem Betrieb ist es für die Unterbringung der Hemdenglättvorrichtung vorteilhaft, wenn diese geringe Abmessungen aufweist. Dazu wird wie in Fig. 2 dargestellt das Tragegestell 5 nach unten geschoben, wobei die Stützrohre 11 durch die Buchsen 9 hindurch in das Unterteil 3 geschoben werden. Gleichzeitig wird auch der Knopfleistenspanner 13 in das Unterteil 3 hineingeschoben. Da sowohl der Blähkörper 1 als auch die Stützkörper 2 und Stütznetze 12 nur an zwei Punkten unten bzw. oben befestigt sind, werden diese oberhalb des Unterteils 3 beim Versenken der Tragekonstruktion 5 zusammengefaltet. Der Blähkörper 1, die Stützkörper 2 und die Stütznetze 12 beanspruchen in diesem Zustand nur einen Bruchteil des Platzes, den sie im auseinandergezogenen Zustand einnehmen.After operation, it is advantageous to accommodate the shirt smoothing device, if it has small dimensions. For this purpose, as shown in Fig. 2, the support frame 5 pushed down, the support tubes 11 through the bushings 9 be pushed into the lower part 3. At the same time, the button strip tensioner 13 pushed into the lower part 3. Since both the inflatable body 1 and the support body 2 and support nets 12 are attached only at two points below and above, these are folded over the lower part 3 when the supporting structure 5 was sunk. The inflatable body 1, the support body 2 and the support nets 12 stress in this state only a fraction of the space they take up when pulled apart.

In einer Weiterbildung ist es möglich, von den Stützstangen 11 nur eine im Unterteil 3 gegen Verkippen gesichert axial zu lagern und die übrigen Stützstangen 11 im Unterteil 3 nur zu führen. Dazu kann beispielsweise die eine Stützstange 11 in zwei übereinander angeordneten Rollenpaaren gelagert sein, bei denen jeweils wenigstens eine Rolle eine Einschnürung bzw. Einbuchtung aufweist, um die Stützstange in alle Richtungen gegen Verkippen sichern zu können. Die übrigen Stützstangen 11 können in dieser Ausgestaltung in einfachen Öffnungen im Unterteil 3 geführt werden. Damit kann erreicht werden, dass die gesamte Tragekonstruktion 5 beim Herausziehen bzw. Hineinschieben nicht verkantet infolge eines Verkantens zweier oder mehrerer Stützstangen 11. Die Führung wird damit wesentlich verbessert. In dieser Ausgestaltung kann vorgesehen sein, dass die vorderen, beiderseits des Knopfleistenspanners 13 angeordneten Stützrohre unterhalb der axialen Lagerung bzw. Führung innerhalb des Unterteils 3 mittels einer Traverse miteinander verbunden sind, um eine zusätzliche Stabilisierung zu erreichen. Oberhalb der Führung bzw. der Lagerung sind alle Stützstangen 11 insbesondere an ihrem oberen Ende miteinander verbunden. An dieser Traverse kann auch der Knopfleistenspanner 13 befestigt werden und so in Bezug auf eine Höhenverschiebung mit der Tragekonstruktion 5 gekoppelt werden. In a further development it is possible to have only one of the support rods 11 in the lower part 3 axially secured against tilting and the remaining support rods 11 in the lower part 3 just lead. For this purpose, for example, the one support rod 11 can be stacked in two arranged pairs of rollers can be stored, in each of which at least one roller Has constriction or indentation to counter the support rod in all directions To be able to secure tilting. The remaining support rods 11 can in this embodiment be guided in simple openings in the lower part 3. This can be achieved that the entire support structure 5 does not tilt when pulled out or pushed in due to tilting of two or more support rods 11. The guide will thus significantly improved. In this embodiment it can be provided that the front, on both sides of the button bar tensioner 13 arranged support tubes below the axial storage or guidance within the lower part 3 by means of a cross member connected to achieve additional stabilization. Above the tour or the storage are all support rods 11 in particular at their upper end connected with each other. The button bar tensioner 13 can also be attached to this crossbar and so in relation to a height shift with the support structure 5 be coupled.

Die Tragekonstruktion 5 kann im ausgezogenen und/ oder im hineingeschobenen Zustand arretierbar sein. Um das Herausziehen des Tragegestells 5 zu erleichtern, kann ferner ein Federelement vorgesehen sein, dass das Tragegestell 5 gegen seine Gewichtskraft nach oben drückt. Beispielsweise kann eine Rollenfeder vorgesehen sein, die vorteilhafterweise einen weitgehend linearen Kraftverlauf aufweist. Zur Vereinfachung der Handhabung kann der Arretiermechanismus so ausgelegt werden, dass das Tragegestell 5 beim erstmaligen Versenken unten verriegelt wird und bei einem nochmaligen Hineindrücken wieder entriegelt wird. Vorteilhafterweise ist die Feder in diesem Fall so ausgelegt, dass sie ohne äußere Einwirkung die Tragekonstruktion 5 langsam nach oben bewegen kann.The support structure 5 can be in the extended and / or in the inserted state be lockable. In order to make it easier to pull out the support frame 5, a Spring element can be provided that the support frame 5 against its weight presses up. For example, a roller spring can be provided, which advantageously has a largely linear force curve. To simplify handling the locking mechanism can be designed so that the support frame 5 when first Sink is locked at the bottom and if you push it in again is unlocked. In this case, the spring is advantageously designed such that it can move the support structure 5 slowly upwards without external influence.

In einer Weiterbildung ist weiterhin denkbar, die Feder so auszulegen, dass das Tragegestell 5 ohne äußere Krafteinwirkung langsam nach unten sinkt und das Herausfahren des Tragegestells 5 durch Einschalten des Gebläses 6 bewirkt wird, wobei die Stützkörper 2 beim Aufblähen die erforderliche nach oben gerichtete Kraft erzeugen. Oben angekommen kann sich das Tragegestell 5 selbst verriegeln, so dass noch eine Bedienperson nach der Benutzung der Hemdenglättvorrichtung die Tragekonstruktion nur entriegeln braucht, damit diese langsam nach unten sinkt.In a further development it is also conceivable to design the spring so that the support frame 5 slowly drops down without external force and the retraction of the Carrying frame 5 is effected by switching on the blower 6, the support body 2 generate the required upward force when inflating. Once at the top can the support frame 5 lock itself, so that an operator only unlock the support structure after using the shirt smoothing device so that it slowly sinks down.

Die Tragekonstruktion 5 kann mit einer Dämpfungsvorrichtung mit einer geschwindigkeitsabhängigen Dämpfung verbunden sein, so dass das Herausziehen und/oder das Hineinschieben gedämpft werden. Als Dämpfungsvorrichtung kann beispielsweise ein Unterdruckbremszylinder verwendet werden.The support structure 5 can with a damping device with a speed-dependent Damping can be connected so that the pulling out and / or Pushing in are dampened. As a damping device, for example Vacuum brake cylinders are used.

Weiterhin sind als Mittel zur Unterstützung und/oder Bewegung der Tragekonstruktion 5 manuelle Antriebe wie beispielsweise eine Kurbel, motorische Antriebe, gedämpfte Federn oder Gasdruckfedern möglich. Weiterhin kann vorgesehen sein, dass das Verriegeln und/oder das Entriegeln durch Verdrehen bewirkt wird.Furthermore, as a means of supporting and / or moving the support structure 5 manual drives such as a crank, motor drives, damped springs or gas pressure springs possible. It can further be provided that the locking and / or unlocking is effected by twisting.
