  • IRONING MACHINE PARTICULARLY FOR IRONING GARMENTS SUCH AS SHIRTS, JACKETS OR THE LIKE
  • This invention relates to an ironing machine, particularly for ironing garments such as shirts, jackets or the like.
  • the known ironing machines also have special tensioning elements, such as grippers, to grip the sleeves mounted on mobile ⁇ arms on opposite sides of the mannequin, which are suitable for permitting the correct and complete stretching of the fabric of the garment prior to ironing/drying.
  • special tensioning elements such as grippers
  • the ends of the sleeves of the garment to be ironed are engaged with the respective tensioning elements in order to fully stretch them, so that the portion of the garment placed on the mannequin is as free as possible of folds, in order to assure optimal ironing.
  • the ironing of the end portion of the sleeves including the sleeve vent which is the cut which defines two separate edges to be joined together at the cuff, by buttons, cufflinks or the like in order to assure it adheres to the wrist, is done separately, generally manually.
  • To iron the sleeve vent it is therefore necessary to remove the relative garment from the mannequin and proceed manually, e.g. using an iron, to iron each vent separately.
  • the complexity of these operations clearly leads to long execution times, which consequently translate into high costs due partly to the high incidence of labour and partly to the use of the working equipment for long periods of time.
  • the known ironing machines however do not only involve long execution times and high costs, but also significant technical difficulty in ironing the sleeves.
  • the main aim of this invention is to provide an ironing machine, particularly for ironing garments such as shirts, jackets or the like, which allows to overcome the drawbacks of the known ironing machines and in particular which allows to iron the vent of the sleeves of a garment without having to remove the garment from the ironing machine.
  • One object of this invention is therefore to drastically simplify, compared to known ironing machines, the overall ironing of a garment, reducing execution times, linked costs and above all improving the quality of the ironing.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide an ironing machine, particularly for ironing garments such as shirts, jackets or the like, which allows to overcome the drawbacks of the background art within a simple, rational solution that is easy and efficient to use and low in cost.

  • the ironing machine 1 comprises two heatable plates 6, each of which is suitable for cooperating with a corresponding tensioning element 5 to iron the vent T of both sleeves M of the garment I.
  • the plates 6 can be heated in various ways known to the technical art, e.g. electrically, or alternatively, by using the steam supply circuit connected to the support element 3 and normally used during ironing.

  • each first cylinder 14 is associated with an end of the relative cross bar 15 so that its movement causes the rotation of the cross bar around the corresponding first rotation axis.
  • the support element 8 of each tensioning element 5 is hinged around a relative second rotation axis, which is substantially horizontal in the figures, to vary the orientation of the relative positioning element 9 with respect to the corresponding plate 6, in order to facilitate the insertion of the positioning element inside the relative sleeve M and its later positioning with respect to the corresponding plate 6.
  • the ironing machine 1 comprises second movement means 16 of each support element 8 around the relative second rotation axis. More particularly, the second movement means 16 comprise, for each support element 8, at least a second cylinder 17 the stem 17a of which is connected mechanically with the relative support element 8 and exerts on it a torque which causes the rotation around the corresponding second rotation axis.
  • the operation of the invention is as follows.
  • the sleeves M are engaged to the tensioning elements 5. More particularly, the retaining elements 10 are positioned in their respective release configurations and the relative opening elements 12 in a position which is close to the corresponding positioning element 9 to facilitate the insertion of the latter inside the corresponding sleeve M.
  • the support elements 8 are oriented in such a way that the first surface 9a of the relative positioning elements 9 is turned upwards, as shown in figure 2, in order to facilitate, when inserting the positioning elements inside the relative sleeves M, the positioning of the vents T on the first surfaces.
  • the retaining elements 10 are moved to the corresponding grip configurations, as shown in figure 4, in order to lock the sleeves M, which therefore remain in the stretched position.
  • the opening elements 12 are moved away from the relative positioning elements 9 in order to widen the corresponding sleeves M.
  • the second cylinders 17 are made to rotate the relative support elements 8 around the respective second rotation axes, as shown in figure 5.
  • the support elements 8 are rotated at an angle in which the first surfaces 9a are substantially turned towards the heating surfaces 6a of the relative plates 6, the latter being in their respective idle configurations.
  • the plates 6 are moved by turning the first cylinders 14 from their relative idle configurations towards the relative working configurations.
  • the relative heating surfaces 6a come into contact with the outside of the respective sleeves M at the height of their vents T and iron them through the cooperation with the relative first surfaces 9a.
  • the plates 6 are then moved away from the positioning elements 9, and then from the sleeves M, and returned to their respective idle configurations, as shown in figure 7.
  • the support elements 8 are turned once more around their respective second rotational axes in order to take them back to the starting position, in which it is easier to slide the sleeves M in and out from the corresponding positioning elements 9.
  • the retaining elements 10 Before sliding the sleeves M out, the retaining elements 10 must be taken back to their corresponding release configurations. It has in practice been shown how the described invention achieves the proposed objects, and in particular the fact is underlined that it allows the ironing of vents of sleeves of garments such as shirts, jackets or the like, without removing the garment from the ironing machine. This greatly simplifies the ironing operations compared to known ironing machines, with clear and consequent savings of both time and money, and above all assures the precise ironing also of the vents of sleeves, which until now required an additional ironing operation or which were generally ignored given the complexity involved in the manual execution of this operation.
