Filed May 31. 1929 4 ShetQ-Sheet 4 r l I 5/ i [Mg Q WITNESS BY M M n .477'0RN Y6 Patented Oct. 25, 1932 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE FRANK E. BAKER, OF SYRACUSE, NEW YORK, ASSIGNOB OF ONE-HALF 'IO LOUIS WILL, OF SYRACUSE, NEW YORK IBONING PRESS Application filed Kay 31,
This invention relates to an ironing press involving the use of a substantially horizontal stationary buck and a heated press head yieldingly mounted upon a carriage which in turn is movable transversely of the buck for moving the press head to and from a position directly over the buck in combination with means operable at will for moving the press head into pressingco-action with the buck.
The main object is to provide a simple and comparatively inexpensive ironing press for domestic or household use whereby practically all kinds of laundered or driedfabrics may be more conveniently and expeditiously ironed and dried. than has heretofore been practiced, 'without in any way injuring the articles operated upon.
In other words. I have sought to prov de means whereby the usual domestic ironing may be accomplished by direct pressure as distinguished from the rotary or mangle-type and sad-iron type of ironing machine. so that the finest or coarsest fabrics may be efiiciently ironed without liability of injury.
Another object is to enable the ironing head to be moved by hand to and from its pressing pos tion so that the amount of pressure or power mav be regulated entirely by the operator according to the nature of the fabric'operated upon.
One of the specific objects is to mount the ironing head upon a carriage which is movable along a suitable track transverselv of the buck so that when the carriage is in its rearmost position the entire upper surface and marginal edges of the buck will be exposed for the reception of the fabrics to be ironed without.- in any way, interfering with the ironing head or other parts of the machine.
Another specific object is to provide resilient connections between the ironing head and carriage whereby the head will be yieldingly held in spaced relation to the buck when the carriage is moved forwardly to bring the head d rectly over the buck and also to enable the head to be forced to its pressing position against the action of said resilient connections by. the simple operation of a cam lever under the control of the operator thereby rendering 1929. Serial I0. 887,380.
the operation of the machine entirely safe in the hands of a skilled or unskilled operator.
Another object is to require the use of both hands in the adjustments of the carriage and ironing head to further reduce the liability of injury of the hands by burning or pressure between the presselements.
Other objects and uses relating to specific parts of the machine will be brought out in the following description.

The cabinet A-- is provided with a central le or foot opening '-a thenethrough from ront to rear to permit the operator to stand or sit in close relation to the machine and is also provided with a plurality of drawers a-- for the reception of the ironed or unironed articles, the top. of the table being mainly horizontal for receiving and supporting the frame -1-- of the machine in a similar position. a
The track rails 2- forming the base of the frame -1- are arranged in parallel spaced relation transversely of and some distance below the buck 4-- and are preferably made of channel irons arranged with their channels facing each other, the major positions of the rails from front to rear be-' ing disposed in a horizontal plane while the rear positions are deflected downwardly at 2' in inclined planes to cause a corresponding tilting movement of the carriage -6 when the latter is moved to its extreme rearward position, theopposite ends of the channels in the rails 2 being closed to form limiting stops 11 and 12,' as shown more clearly in Figures 3 and 5, respectively.
The upright frames or-standards 3- are bolted or .otherwiseasecured to the upper.
edges and outer sides of the rails -2-, as shown more clearly in Fig. 2, to extend upwardly some distance above said rails for receiving and supporting the buck -4 on the upper edges thereof, as shown more clearly in Fig. 3, said frames being provided with lowerand upper len hwise bars -13 and 13',- the lower posed in a planedirectly over and in close proximity to the upper. edges of the horizontal portions of the rails --2 for receiving and supporting a shelf 14-, as shown in Fig. 3.
The buck 4 is supported directly upon the top bars-13 of the standards 3'- and is preferably elongated laterally so as to afford a relativelgelarge area for supportin the articles to ironed, the pad 5-- being drawndownwardly around the marback and ars -13 being disginal edges of the buck and secured at the under side thereof by shirring cords Fig. 3.
The carriage .6 comprises in this instance of a pair of u-shaped bars 6' arranged edgewise vertically and having their lower arms overlapping upon the inner channel sides of the guide rails 2 below the buckand their upper arms adapted to overlie the upper surface of the buck in considerably spaced relation thereto when the carriage is moved to its operativeposition for receiving and supporting the head be-' tween the upper arms and upper surface of the buck, Fig. 3.
The intermediate portions of the lower arms of the U-shaped bars -6- of the carriage are rigidly connected to each other ,by a cross bar 15-- to hold them in parallel spaced relation, the front ends of the upper horizontal portions of the bars --6' being connected by a cross rod -16 carrying a suitable handle -17- which together with the rod -1'6- serves to hold the upper portions of the carriage bars 6'-- in parallel spaced relation and also serves as a means by which the carriage may be moved forth along the track rails 2-. The lower horizontal arms of the carriage bars -6'-- are also connectedby additional cross bars -18 and -19 arranged in parallel spaced relation at opposite sides of and some distance from the cross bars 15, as shown more clearly in Fig. 5.
These cross bars -18 and 19-- extend beyond the outer faces of the lower arms of the carriage bars -6'- and 'into the channels in the adjacent sides of the track rails -2- for receiving rollers -20-- which are adapted to ride upon the lower walls of the channels of said track rails and may also contact with the upper walls of the same channel to guide the carriage along the track in a plane substantially parallel with all portions thereof except for a slight tilting.move-' ment of the carriage as will be hereinafter more fully explained.
The springs -8- are preferably of the single flat leaf type extending lengthwise of the upper-arms of the carriage 6 and having their rear ends secured by suitable anchor pins -21- to the outer sides of the bars --6 near the rear ends of the upper lhi orizontal portions of said bars, asshown in The. portions of the springs 8- just immediately 1n front of the anchoring pins 21 are engaged with underlying bearing pins or fulcra 22-- some distance to the I rear of the suspension bolts -9- so that the front ends of the springs may be free;
to yield vertically for establishing a correspondingly resilient connection between the head 7- and carriage -6-.
That is,.the front ends of the springs --8 extend over the central portion of the head 7-outside the opposite bars 6' of the carriage so that the head and its connecting bolts 9-- carried by the free ends of the springs 8 may have free vertical movement relatively to the carriage for permitting movement of the head 7 into and out of pressing co-action with the buck 4 when the carriage with the .head thereon is' moved to its pressing position.
Each spring 8 is adapted to receive and support a pair of the head-supporting bolts 9- which are located at opposite sides of the longitudinal center of the head 7*- and have their lower ends rigidly secured to said head, as shown in Fig. 7.
The upper ends of the bolts 9- are passed through elongated openings 24 in the adj acent springs 8 and are provided with nuts 25- for engaging the upper surface ,plate 23- in its operative position.
The cam lever -10- comprises a substantially rectangular cam bar 10'- and a handle 10"- secured thereto to project upwardly and forwardly therefrom when in its inoperative position, as shown in Fig. 3. This cam bar 10' extends lengthwise of the press head 7-- near the longitudinal center thereof and between the bolts 9 of each pair and is adaptedto be moved from a horizontal position, shown in Fig. 3,
to a substantially verticalposition, shown in Fig. 7, for effecting the operation of the press head 7 from its normal inoperative position to itspressing position.
That is, when the cam bar 10'-- is adjusted to its horizontal position, the springs 8 will elevate the press head -.-7- and yieldingly hold the same in its elevated position with the cam bar 10'- flatwise or horizontalbetween the bearing plate 23- and underside of the upper horizontal portions of the carriage 6- On the other handywhen the cam plate 10' is rocked by its handle 10"- from its normal position, shown in Fig. 3, to its vertical position, shown in Fig. 7, the press head 7- will be depressed into pressing co-action with the upper surface with the buck 4- and the arms 6- will be placed under more or less tension.
'hen the cam plate 10' is rocked from its horizontal position to its vertical position its lower edge will be engaged in a notch 23'-- in the upper surface of the plate 23- to hold the lower edge of the cam plate against sliding movement on the hearing plate.
The rearward-movement of the u per edge of the cam bar 10' is limited y a stop shoulder :26 on the lower edges of the overlying arms of the carriage 6, as shown in Figs. 7 and 8. Y
It is sometimes desirable to move the press head 7 forwardly and rearwardly relatively to the buck 4-- when the head is in its pressing position for the purpose of polishing the articles under treatment, such as cuffs, collars, shirt bosoms and the like, and for this purpose, a locking dog 27- is pivoted at -28.- to the upper portion of the carriage -6 to move into and out of engagement with the front face of the upper edge of the cam plate 10' when the latter is adjusted to its vertical position, as shown in Fig. 7.
It is now evident that when the locking dog 27 is adjusted to its holding position, it together with shoulder 26- will hold the upper edge of the cam bar 10' against forward and rearward movement relatively to the carriage 6- while the 'lower edge of the'cam bar will be in engagement with the front and rearwalls of the groove 23' in the bearing plate 23.
It. therefore, follows that if the cam plate 10'- is rocked forwardly and rearwardly by its handle 10"-, the lower edge of the cam bar '10' will be similarly oscillated for transmitting a corresponding forward and rearward movement to the head 7.
Under ordinary pressing conditions, however, the dog 27- will be thrown by hand from its holding position to the position shown by dotted lines in Fig. 7 to rest against a limited stop pin 30 thus permitting the rocking movement of the cam plate 10' from one extreme position to the other without reciprocating the head forwardly and rearwardly as may be required for closing and opening the press head -7 for direct pressure.
The cam plate 10'- is held against endwise displacement by suitable stop plates 31- which are bolted or otherwise secured to opposite ends of the bearing plate 23- to extend across the adjacent portions of the ends of the cam plate, as shown in Fig. 8.
The press head 7 is preferably made of cast aluminum or other suitable metal having a relativelyhigh degree of heat conductivity and is provided in its upper side with a heating chamber 32- for receiving an electrical resistance coil 33- which in this instance is enclosed-within but insulated from an outer tube 34- of copper or equivalent metal of relatively high degree of heat conductivity.
This pipe with the resistance coil therein is preferablv extended back and forth longitudinally of and within the heating chamber i 32 throughout the major portion of said chamber with suitable return bends at the ends for continuity of transmission of the current and heat radiation throughout the chamber. 7 r
These heating elements are arranged in heat transfer relation to the bottom portion of thehead 7 for heating the same to a relatively high degree of temperature within 10 a comparatively short time and with a miniand also for reducing the heat radiation from the top of the chamber. I
An electrothermostatic switch 33-, Figure 4, is connected in theheater circuit within the heating chamber 32 for automatically breaking the circuit in case of excessive temperature of the heater as' a safety factor against fire which might result from over-heating.
The ends of the heater coil are connected to suitable terminals or binding posts --33"- which in turn may be connected to any available source of current supply.
Suitable means is provided the carriage -6 with the head 7- thereon toward and from the buck independently of the cam lever -10 to compensate for varying thicknesses of the material operated upon and for this purpose the cross shaft -19- is provided with a pair of cams or eccentrics -37, Figures 3, 5 and 6, adjacent the inner faces of the lower arms of the U- shaped carriage bars -6- which in turn are provided with lower and upper shoulders -38- engaging the lower and upper faces of the adjacent cams 37 whereby the rotation of the shaft 19 with the cams 37-- thereon will tilt the carriage vertically about the axis of the cross shaft or rod 18 and thus effect a corresponding ad-' justment of the ironing head 7- toward or i from the upper surface of the buck when the carriage is in its pressing position. 7
If desired, the cam shaft --l9- mav be locked in its different positions of adjustment by means of a locking bolt39 which is normally spring pressed into engagement with one or the other of a series of sockets --40 in the periphery of one of the cams 37--,.as shown more clearly in Figs. 5 and 6. it being understood that the lower arms of the carriage will be provided with vertically elongated slots 41 for receiving the adjacent portions of the shaft -19- and permitting the tilting'movem'ent of the carriage in the manner described.
v V The intermediate portion of the cross shaft for adjusting 4 ,1,ssa,se1.
' 19- is provided with a handle 192- by which itmay be turned for effecting the ver-' tical tilting movement of the carriage. 7
If desired, the table -14'- may be'provided with an upwardly curved deflecting plate +42 of sheet metal or equivalent material for deflecting the articles to be ironed downwardly on to the upper surface of the table --14. thereby to avoid the contact of the articles with the rear portion of the carriage. (See Fig. 3.)
Operation Assuming that the carriage 6- is in its extreme rearward position, as shown by dotted line in Fig; 3, and that it is desired to iron various fabrics,-the article to be ironed will then be placed upon the upper surface of the buck 4 and smoothed out by hand in the usual manner after which the carriage 6- with the heated head -7- thereon will be drawn forwardly along the track 2- by means of the handle 17- until the head is directly over the buck.
The carriage is then held in this position by one hand while the cam lever10-- is being moved upwardly and rearwardly by the other hand thereby turning the cam bar --10' from a horizontal position, shown in Fig. 3, to a vertical position, shown in Fig. 7 for depressing the head 7- against the action of its supporting springs 8- into pressing co-action with the buck -t aided by the more or less resilient action of the front ends of the upper arms of the carriage 6.
This adjustment of the cam will automati- I cally hold the press head in its pressing position for an indefinite period of time or until the article under treatment is thoroughly ironed and dried whereupon the cam lever -10- may be returnedto its normal position to allow the head to be elevated by its supporting springs 8.
This operation may be repeated upon different portions of the same article or upon different' articles with the assurance that the garment can not be over-heated by reason of the automatic action of the thermostatic.
T pressure of the press head upon the garment may be varied by simply turning the cam. shaft -1-9- in one direction or the otherwhich in turn willetfect a correspondingly vertical movement of the press head toward and from the buck.
This latter adjustment may also be used, as may be required, for pressing articles of different thickness. 7
When the ironing operation upon each article is completed, the carriage 6 may be returned to its normal position to enable other articles to be readily placed over and upon the buck without liability of contact of the gangs of the operator with the heated press ea The purpose of the rearwardly and downwardly incline of the rear ends of the track 2 is to cause a downwardly tilting movement of the carriage when returned to its normal position and thereby to increase the space between the rear edge of the buck and front edge of the press head to a safe degree for the free manipulation of the articles over and upon the buck preparatory to ironing without liability of contact with the operator hands with the heatedhead;
