, Machines, of which the following is a speciication.
My invention relates to machines for steaming and pressing cloth, and particularly for pressing clothes. Tt has been customary in the past to employ what are termed bucks, one of which is movable with respect to the other` and between which the cloth is pressed. Steam is passed through these. bucks so as to soften the cloth which is to be pressed. ln order to properly press the cloth, it is necessary to apply considerable pressure. This pressure tends to mat down the surface of the cloth and destrcy its finish or appearance. Tn order to minimize this flattening and polishing effect, it has been customary to cover the bucks with cloth, but in spite of this the nap of the cloth is matted down when any substantial pressure is used. Tn carrying out the pressing operation in a commercial way, it is customary to usea very substantial pressure -in order to expedite the pressing operation. This results in giving the cloth a shine which makes it necessary to subject the cloth to a further steaming and roughing process in order to restore it to its proper condition and appearance. To avoid this matting and shiny appearance, and the operations required to restore the cloth to its proper condition, T propose to employ special coverings for the pressing bucks. These coverings are provided with fine wire needles, the ends of which serve as the pressing surface. The bases of these needles are embedded in a stili' foundation which holds them erect, and between the needles at intervals are arranged openings through which steam passes from the buck'.
Figure 1 is a perspective View showingv in dotted outline the principal parts of asuitable type of pressing machine having bucks with the special covering according to my invention.
Figure 2 is a perspective view of an attachment for a pressing buck embodying improvements of my invention.
Figure 3 is an edge view and partial sec` tion of one form of pressing buck with a modified form of my attachment.
Figure d is a considerably enlarged fragin place.
mentary sectional view showing-my attachment in connection with the fragment of a pressing buck.
The pressing members or bucks 10 and f 11 have suitable mechanism for causing one buck to be moved toward the other; for instance, a lever device having a pedal operator 12. Steam may be furnished from a boiler 13 and admitted through openings Y 14C in the outer surfaces of the bucks under control of a valve handle 15.
The pressing covering is composed of a foundation 16 having needles 17, the outer ends of which furnish the cloth engaging surfaces. These needles are preferably U- shaped and pass through the foundation which is stiff enough to hold the needles upright for instance as shown in my former Patent No. 1,d53,697 The foundation may be formed of one or more layers of cloth and lis provided with openings 18.. which are preferably arranged in line with the openings 14 in the buck Wall. Theseopenings 18-are formed by tubular members 19 which are inserted from. the back and provided with flangesl20 to prevent these from Working out. These tubes may be tapered somewhat as shown in order to facilitate insertion. T also propose to provide a wire mesh backing 21 through which steam can readily pass. This backing may be secured in place by rows of stitching 22 arranged adJacent to the tubes 19 so as to prevent the tubes from working` out.
To prevent steam from passing out from between the buck and the foundation 16, T propose to provide the foundation with a Hange or skirt 23 which surrounds the edge of the buck. This may be provided with-a draw string or cord 24 for holding it tightly This draw string may serve to hold the Ventire attachment in place on the buck or T may provide in addition or in place of it a series of straps 25, 26, 27 and 28, which. can lbe readily passed around the buck. Another means of holding the attachment is shown in Figure 3, consisting of hooks 29 connected by springs` `30 to the i foundation and adapted to engage a flange 31, on .the buck. ll do not wish, however, to 'be limited to these ymethods "of holding the attachment in place.
The needle-like pressmg surface has been found suitable for various kinds of cloth so that the tailor or same set-up for practically any garment,
resser can use the whether of worsted, broadcloth, cheviot or velvet, thus saving a great deal of time and expense. The pressing surface is suiliciently hard to permit of a quick powerful pressing action, and yet it is aoi'such a character that the nap is notI matted down and the cloth is not made shiny.
ll claim:
l. A cloth pressing machine comprising stationary and movable bucks9 impervious cloth foundations detachably secured on said bucks and having uniformly distributed, closely set, stiff needles passing through the cloth foundation, the ends 'oi which -form the pressing surfaces and communicating passageways for admitting steam through said bucks and cloth foundation.
2.. A cloth pressing machine attachmentl comprising a sti7 impervious cloth :foundation having closely set sti needles passing therethrough and permanent steam passages through the cloth 'foundation between the needles.
3. A cloth pressing machine attachment comprising a stid cloth foundation having closely set sti' needles and steam passages through the cloth foundation between the needles, and an impervious skirt connected to the edges of the foundation.
d. A cloth pressing'l machine attachment comprising a stidD cloth foundation having closely set stiff needles and steam passages through the foundation between the needles,
annessa an impervious skirt connected to edges of the the passage of steam through the foundation and between the needles.
6. A cloth pressing attachment comprising a `foundation having closely set needles projecting from the front and hollow tapered members in the foundation having their ends larger at the back ot the foundation-than at the needle side tor permitting the passage oil steam through the foundation and between the needles.
7. A cloth pressing attachment comprising a oundation having closely set needles and hollow members in the vfoundation pei'- mitting the passage of steam through the foundation and between the needles, and a meshwork backing holding the hollow members in place..
8. A cloth pressing attachment compris ing a foundation having closely set needles and hollow members in the foundation permitting lthe passage of steam through the :foundation and between the needles, each hollow member having a dange to prevent it from working through the foundation.
