Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a laundry press machine in which clothes are placed on a lower trowel and pressed by an upper trowel.

Conventional technology Laundry press machines usually place clothes on a lower iron, lower the upper iron to press it, and eject steam, and then discharge excess steam.
Continue heating and drying to complete the pressing.
It is used by raising the upper trowel.

There are already known manual press machines that perform all of the above processes manually, and automatic press machines that automatically perform all processes from lowering to raising the upper trowel with just one switch operation. There is.

Problems that the invention aims to solve: The above manual press machine has the disadvantage of poor operability, while the above automatic press machine has good operability but is difficult to make fine adjustments according to the nature and condition of the garment. However, it has the disadvantage that it cannot be used particularly for knitted garments that require fine adjustment of the pressing force. There are also known devices in which the manual type and automatic type can be switched, but since the operating method changes due to switching, there is a drawback that it is easy to accidentally get your hand caught in the iron.

Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to realize a press machine that is safe and less likely to cause accidents while switching between manual and automatic modes.

Means for Solving the Problems In other words, the present invention includes a handle for lowering the upper iron and manually pressing it against the lower iron, a steam jetting switch for jetting out steam, and an exhaust switch for discharging excess steam. An automatic changeover switch is provided on the handle and is operated by the hand holding the handle after pressing down the upper iron, and the automatic changeover switch is operated to blow out steam while pressing the upper iron. This is a manual and automatic laundry press machine with an automatic mechanism that raises the upper trowel after exhausting air and drying.

Embodiments Hereinafter, embodiments illustrating the present invention will be described in detail.

In this laundry press machine 10, numeral 11 is an upper trowel, which is attached to an arm 13 that is rotatable with respect to the machine base 12, and is normally in a raised position by a spring or the like, and a handle 14 at the tip of the arm 13 is manually operated. By pressing down, the lower iron 1 on the machine base 12
5 can be pressed.

At the tip of the arm 13, there is a press switch 1 that can be operated while holding the handle 14.
6. An automatic changeover switch 17, an upper steam blowout switch 18, and an opening switch 19 are provided. When the press switch 16 is operated after manually pushing down the handle 14, a force is applied using air pressure or the like to press the upper iron 11 against the lower iron 15, and when the release switch 19 is operated, this action is stopped. . The automatic changeover switch 17 is connected to the handle 14
Press down and then operate to activate the automatic mechanism. This automatic mechanism applies pressure to press the upper iron 11 against the lower iron 15 while pressing the upper iron 11 for a time set in advance by a timer 20.
Then, steam is ejected from the lower trowel 15, and then the exhaust fan 22 is operated for a time set in advance by a timer 21 to discharge excess steam. After this, the product is further dried, and the upper trowel 11 is raised. . Upper Gotes steam jet switch 1
8 blows out steam from the upper iron 11 while operating this.

At the lower front of the machine base 12, a foot-operated pedal-type vacuum switch 23, a lower steam blowout switch 24, and an exhaust switch 25 are provided. The vacuum switch 23 is used to operate the vacuum mechanism that attracts clothes onto the lower iron 15. Lower Gotes steam ejection switch 24
While operating this, steam is ejected from the lower iron 15. While the exhaust switch 25 is operated, the exhaust fan 22 operates to exhaust air.

In the figure, 26 is a table, 27 is a side table, and 28 and 29 are ironing boards.

Since this press machine 10 has the above configuration, it is used in the following manner.

When using the manual operation, after placing the clothes on the lower iron 15, hold the handle 14 and remove the upper iron 1.
1 and press manually, upper Gotesu steam jet switch 18 and lower Gotes steam jet switch 2.
4 and the exhaust switch 25 as appropriate to blow out steam, exhaust air, and dry the press to complete the press operation, and then lift the upper iron 11 by holding the handle 14. With this usage, any work mode is possible, and in particular, it is possible to press knitted clothes while adjusting the pressing force of the upper iron 11. Also, this press machine 1
0, only the pressing operation can be performed mechanically. That is, after pressing down the upper trowel 11, the press switch 16 is operated, and then steam is ejected, air is discharged, and drying is performed manually, and when the pressing operation is completed, the release switch 19 is operated and the upper trowel 11 is raised. let

When using automatic operation, hold the handle 14 and press down on the upper trowel 11, then turn on the automatic changeover switch 1.
All you have to do is operate 7.

Effects of the invention As mentioned above, the laundry press machine of the present invention can be used for both manual and automatic purposes, so it can be used for ordinary clothes with simple operation using the automatic mechanism, and for knitted clothes that require special operations. Clothes can be manually processed to suit the type of garment, making it possible to press a variety of garments while improving work efficiency. In addition, the automatic changeover switch for automatic operation is arranged so that it can be operated while holding the handle, and the automatic mechanism works only when the upper trowel is pressed down, so the handle is pressed down. The operations up to this point are common to both manual and automatic operations, making them easy to handle and minimizing the risk of erroneous operations or getting your hand caught in the iron.
