Description
April 15, 1930. L. PANTHQNY STEAM PRESS HEAD CONSTRUCTION Filed Sept. 26, 192@ vPatented Apr. 15, 1930 i UNITED vsTaTras PATENT ori-Ica LEON P. ANTHONY, OF LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, ASSIGNOR OF FIFTY PER CENT T MARY ADELINE REYNOLDS, OF LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA STEAM-PRESS-HEAD CONSTRUCTION Application lled September 26, 1928.
This invention relates to improvements in steam presses used in pressing articles of wearing apparel, and particularly to the construction of the head of the press.
The conventional steam press is provided with a movable head, adapted to be swung downwardly into contact with articles of wearing apparel to press them. This head is provided with a fiat, smooth surface which en ages the fabric of the wearing apparel.
It as been recognized that the smooth surface on the head is undesirable in that it tends to smooth the fabric in such a manner that the fibers will lie flat and tend to give the fabric a lossy appearance which is un* desirable. I-eretofore, in order to overcome this objection it has been customary to apply a layer of wire mesh or screen to the head, covering the smooth surface provided by the head so that the screen engages the fabric and will present a rough surface on the bottom of the head which will not create this glossy appearance on clothing.
Such screens are undesirable for the following reasons: The screens or wire mesh are qulte fine and quickly wear out, requiring replacementalso strands of the wire break .and penetrate the fabric so that when the head is removed from the clothing the strands of wire break threads. Another objectional feature is that when the head of the steam press is swung downwardly against buttons on the clothing being pressed, the buttons crimp and deform the screen, giving it a depression or crimp which is permanent so that when the crimped or depressed ortion of the screen engages a flat piece o fabric on a second article of wearing apparel 1t leaves an objectional mark because of the crimp.
An object of this invention is to provide an improved steam press head construction wherein the head presents a bottom surface ada ted to engage the fabric, which is of desira le roughness to prevent its giving the fabric a lossy appearance and at the same time is 0% suilicient strength that when the head en ages buttons on clothing, the
roughene surface will not be deformed so as to mark the fabric on subsequent articles 5 of wearing apparel placed on the press.
Serial No. 308,491.
With .the foregoing and'other objects in View whlch will be made manifest in the following detailed description and specifically pointed out in the appended claims, reference is had to the accompanying drawings for an illustrative embodiment of the invention. wherein: l
Fig. 1 is a partial view in front elevation, of a steam press upon which the invention is shown as having been embodied.
Fig. 2 1s a view in section, taken through the headv substantially upon the line 2 2 upon Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a partial View in perspective on a greatly enlarged scale, illustrating the manner in which the roughened surface of the head is provided. v
Referring to the accompanying drawings wherein similar reference characters designate similar parts throughout, the steam press comprises a support 10 supported on legs 11 on which a suitable table 12 is supported by means of uprights 13. The table 12 is adapted to have articles of wearing apparel placed thereon to be engaged by the head 14 which is hingedly mounted as indicated at 15, so that it may be swung downwardly into engagement with the articles of clothing placed on the table 12. As above described, it is desirable to give to the bottom surface head 14 a roughened surface which cannot be easily deformed by buttons. This roughened surface may be provided by a section of sheet metal indicated at 16 which may be fastened to the head as by screws or the like 17. The bottom surface of the plate 16 is roughened as shown in Fig. 3 and this roughened surface may be made in any of several manners` such as by a photo-chemical process for providing stippling in printing, or the surface may be provided by engraving. The surface provided by the plate 16 is of about the same roughness as the roughness presented by a finger-nail file or similar article, it being desired to have it flat and one of suiicient roughness as will prevent the fabric from receving a glossy appearance. The plate 16 presenting this roughened surface is of relatively thick sheet metal so that when it is Ata forced into en a ment with buttons it will not be easily e ormed.
The plate 16 can either be applied to the head 14 on steam presses now in general use as a substitute for the screen or wire mesh heretofore emplo ed, or it may be incorporated in the hea 14 as art of the original construction of the head). In other words, the head 14 may be originally constructed so that its bottom surface, instead of being flat and smooth, will be flat and roughened to the same extent that the plate 16 presents a roughened surface.
From the above described construction it will be appreciated that a novel and useful improvement in head constructions for steam presses is provided which is highly advanous in that the head will not give to the fa ric a glossy appearance and at the same time the plate 16 will not receive deformations from buttons or the like, nor become quickly worn out.
Various changes may be made in the details of construction without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as designed by the appended claims.
I claim:
1. A ress element comprising a fiat plate having its surface provided with a plurality of fine cuts forming narrow ridges to produce a roughened surface to eliminate the gloss in pressing fabrics, the cuts being spaced apart a distance corresponding to that of the cuts of a finger nail file.
2. A press head comprising a fiat plate having its surface provided with a plurality of fine cuts forming narrow ridges, the cuts and ridges being approximately equal insize, to produce a roughened surface to eliminate the gloss in pressing fabrics.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification.
LEON P. ANTHONY.
