ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an art of finishing cloths like collars or sleeves of shirts, which have been washed.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Collars or sleeves of the shirts are so constructed that a thin attaching core of the cloth is inserted between two cloths both sides of face and reverse and they have been high-pressed. The above attaching core of the cloth shrink by 10 to 15% after being washed. Therefore, the surface of cloths has many waves of shrinkage, thus making the size small. According to the conventional device, the size is small and easy to shrink as the cloths are high-heat pressed at once because of the preference for the operational efficiency, wherein the cloths are to be made out as they are shrunk without getting rid of shrinkage as indicated above.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The main purpose of the present invention is to be able to smooth the shrinking core of cloths even when using the machine to smooth it.
In other words, it is designed to provide a method of smoothing cloths, wherein the upper smoothing iron is brought down against the cloth on the lower smoothing iron, thus pressing the said cloth, taking a step of smoothing the cloth applying thereto the power during the pressing step and in also the previous step, giving vapor to the above said cloth in the above said step of smoothing or in the previous step.
It is also designed to provide a device for smoothing cloths, wherein the cloths are put between the upper smoothing iron and the lower smoothing iron to be pressed, providing a extending system to pull the edge of the cloths before the said step of pressing, which system is put in the vicinity of the lower smoothing iron to put the above said cloths on, while providing a vapor supplying system to spray vapor to the said cloths, which system is put in the vicinity of the lower smoothing iron or just on it.
Here, the above mentioned step of pressing means to press strongly with much pressure and the pressing step takes a time from the moving upper smoothing iron touching strongly the cloth until it is detached from there. In other words, while the upper smoothing iron is moving as it should be, it is not the time of pressing until the upper smoothing iron touches the cloth strongly and it should rather be considered a previous step before pressing.
In other words, according to the above said construction, the cloth on the lower smoothing iron is to be extended by effects of the extending process or an extending system during the pressing step or the previous step. The cloth will be immediately heated and given water so that the cloth will be easily extendible after vapor is sprayed to the cloth during the extension or in the previous step. Thus, even in the smoothing step by a machine to elevate the operational efficiency, the cloth can be pressed as it is extended, thus allowing for the good finishing condition like new goods without shrinkage or wrinkles.
The above mentioned cloth includes the collars, the sleeves and the front part of the shirts having the attaching core of cloths as specified above together with the cloth of other cotton products.
Another purpose of the present invention is to obtain a fine finishing condition of the cloths by touching the cloths from above and regulating the move of the cloths during the extending process.
Therefore, when the regulating device is set to regulate the move of the cloth during the extending step, a fine condition of the cloth can be obtained as it is possible to stop the move the cloth, even in the case the cloth is about to turn aside because of the timing difference or hook as the extending step finishes.
So far, when washing, the temperature of water used to have to be regulated strictly for fear that the cloth might get shrunk. It is because the cloth will shrink very much when the temperature of water is high, even though dirtiness can be removed.
This means that it used to be difficult to contain shrinkage while getting rid of the dirtiness. However, with this invention, all it concerns is to look at the side of removing the dirtiness rather than shrinkage, so that there is no need for the skill of the experts, allowing for rapid and easy washing, which is satisfactory.
Another purpose of the present invention is to provide a fine smoothing of the collars or sleeves of the shirts to finish, which is liable to shrink.
In other words, when there are smoothing irons (an upper iron and a lower iron) to pinch the collars of the shirt and smoothing irons (an upper iron and a lower iron) to pinch the sleeves of the shirt or when having both of them, shrinkage of the collars and sleeves of the shirts can be resolved as they have been trying to do so for a long time. When two types of the smoothing irons are provided so that the collars and sleeves will be smoothed and finished, the operational efficiency will improve.
Another purpose of the present invention will be clarified according to the examples set forth below.
