BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for pressing fluid (e.g. rinse water) from fabric articles (e.g. laundry). More particularly, the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for pressing fluid from laundry articles wherein the press includes a diaphragm that is subjected to pressure (e.g. fluid pressure), so that it flexibly conforms to an upper surface portion of a batch of laundry articles or fabric articles and wherein after each batch of laundry articles or fabric articles have been pressed, the diaphragm is rotated after an upward movement of the press that spaces the diaphragm from the fabric articles.
2. General Background of the Invention
Commercial laundry presses often employ a press having a diaphragm that is
pressured with a fluid. The diaphragm flexibly conforms to the upper surface portion of the fabric articles or laundry articles to be pressed so that fluid which wets the fabric articles can be squeezed from the laundry articles.
A problem exists with such a diaphragm press device. If the clothing are discharged from a tunnel washer or other commercial washing device, they often pile in a random orientation with peaks and valleys. One section or portion of the diaphragm is thus subjected to greater stress and resulting wear when compared to other areas of the diaphragm.
The following patents relate generally to laundry presses and like devices.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides a method and apparatus for pressing fluid from laundry articles or fabric articles. The method includes filling a receiving vessel, receptacle or "can" with a batch of wetted fabric or laundry articles. These articles have been wetted with fluid such as rinse water as part of a commercial wash cycle.
The fabric articles are pressed with a press that discharges the fluid (e.g. rinse water) from the articles. The press includes a diaphragm that flexibly conforms to an upper surface portion of the batch of fabric articles. The diaphragm is pressurized. Hydraulic pressure on the diaphragm applies great force to the batch of laundry to expel rinse water therefrom.
After the pressing of water from the fabric articles, the diaphragm elevates to a raised position. The diaphragm is rotated after it is spaced away from the batch of laundry. Rotation can employ a specially configured linkage. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE SEVERAL VIEWS OF THE DRAWINGS

Figures 1-9 show that the preferred embodiment of the apparatus of the present invention designated generally by the numeral 10. Laundry press apparatus 10 employs a frame 11. Frame 11 can rest upon a reinforced concrete floor or other support surface. Frame 11 thus provides a plurality of feet 12 that engage in underlying support surface or floor. Frame 11 supports a receptacle or can 13 that received a batch of laundry to be pressed. Frame 11 can provide a horizontally extending base 14 of welded steel construction as an example.
Base 14 has a perforated section or grating 15 that allows water to drain through base 14 such as occurs when laundry articles, fabric articles or clothing are pressed to remove liquid therefrom. Receptacle/can 13 has a side wall 16 that surrounds interior 17.
Open top 29 is receptive of a batch of laundry articles or fabric articles to be pressed. A plurality of supports (such as columns) 18 offer support or hold horizontal
member 19 at an elevated position (see figures 9 - 10). Ram 20 is mounted on upper support/horizontal member 19 as shown. Ram 20 provides a cylinder 21 and pushrod 22. At the lower end portion of pushrod 22 is attached head 23.
Head 23 carries a flexible diaphragm 24. A cavity 25 is provided on the upper surface of diaphragm 24. The cavity 25 is a cavity that is pressurized when clothing or fabric articles are to be pressed. The cavity 25 can be filled with fluid under pressure. Generally speaking, a liquid extracting apparatus for removing excess water from laundry articles using fluid pressure and a diaphragm that is inflated by a fluid pressure is known. Such a liquid extracting device is shown and described in US Patent No.4,452,056 issued to William C. Files and assigned to Assignee herein, Pellerin Milnor Corporation. The '056 patent is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
Fitting 26 (e.g. an annular fitting or annular flanges) connects ram 20 to upper support/horizontal member 19 as shown in figure 10. During use, head 23 is moved downwardly as illustrated by arrows 27 in figure 10 until it contacts a batch of laundry in can 13. Can or receptacle 13 has an open top 29 that is receptive of head 23. A lowered position of head 23 is shown in figure 10. An actuator or linkage 30 is used to rotate head 23 and thus diaphragm 24 after the batch of clothing contained in can or receptacle 13 have been pressed. This rotation of diaphragm 24 insures even wear to diaphragm 24 over time. The actuator/linkage 30 rotates head 23, pushrod 22 and diaphragm 24 a few degrees each time that the ram 20 cycles. Mounting plate 31 is attached to frame 11. Mounting plate 31 can be attached for example to fitting 26 as shown in figure 3. Mounting plate 31 can include horizontal flange or section 37 and vertical flange or section 38.
Actuator/linkage 30 employs arm 32. Arm 32 is pivotally attached at its end portions to mounting plate 31 and to lug plate 35. Pivotal connection 33 attaches arm 32 to vertical flange 38 of mounting plate 31. Pivotal connection 34 attaches arm 32 to lug plate 35.
Lug 36 extends downwardly from lug plate 35. The lug 36 is sized and shaped to form an interlocking connection with openings 40 of radial sprocket or curved plate sections 39. In the drawings, the arrows XXa, XXb, XXc show the positions of the first, second and third openings 40 that are engaged in sequence by lug 36 of lug plate 35. In figure 1, there can be for example thirty-six openings 40. In this fashion, the diaphragm
24, head 23 and pushrod 22 each move a measure of 10 ° with each cycle of the press 20. Each opening 40 can be slightly larger than the lug 36 to provide some play.
A "cycle" of press 20 occurs as follows. Head 23 moves downwardly from an elevated position (shown in figures 2 and 9) as indicated by arrows 27 in figure 10. The head 23 and more particularly the diaphragm 24 contacts a wetted batch of laundry to be pressed. The lowered position wherein the head 23 and its diaphragm 24 contact the batch of laundry is seen in figures 3 and 10. Fluid pressure in space 25 forces diaphragm
24 downwardly to press fluid from the batch of laundry. Such fluid is discharged from the batch of laundry as illustrated by arrows 41 in figure 3. The head 23 then elevates toward linkage 30 (see figure 5).
In figure 5, head 23 contacts linkage 30. Lug 36 then engages and interlocks with an opening 40 of curved plate section 39. Continued upward movement of head 23 rotates arm 32 from the position in figure 6 to the position of figure 7, rotating head 23, diaphragm 24 and pushrod 22 a small measure (for example ten degrees). The arm 32 rotates a measure of an acute angle represented by the arrow 28 in figure 8. Figure 8 shows initiation of another cycle as the ram 20 sends its head 23 downwardly to engage and press the next batch of laundry.
Each can or receptacle 13 can be provided with lifting eyes 42 for transporting the can or receptacle 13 to and from the ram 20. The first cycle engages lug 36 into an opening 40 at position XXa. The second cycle engages lug 36 into an opening 40 at position XXb. The third cycle engages lug 36 into an opening 40 at position XXc and so forth.
