WALTER B. MUN'I, OF I HILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
'rin-rnnssnn.
Specificationof Letters Patent. Patented Apr, 27, 1920,
Application filed March 15, 1919. Serial No. 282,807.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WALTER B.- MUNT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia arid State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tie-Pressers, of which the following is-a specification.
The object of this invention is to provide an improved tie-presser or stretcher, so constructed and operated as to restore the uncreased and unrumpled appearance of a tie or the like, without the usual application of a heated element, such for instance as an.
ordinary fiat-iron.
Furthermore, it is to be understood that by slightly changing the shape or contour ,of the device hereinafter described, the general principle involved can be employed equally well for the purpose of creasing and pressing trousers, waist-coat sleeves, and the like.
And a further object of the invention is to provide an improved presser for ties, comprising a hollow shell member having apertures through the sides thereof, andinto which member is adapted to be inserted a piece of absorbent material which can readily hold a quantity of liquid for the purpose of moistening the article to be pressed, which said article is stretched over the shell member.
And a still further object is to provide a device substantially of this character but with the shell members separated longitudinally, to provide'two oppositely disposed members, in which is positioned the usual absorbent material, and in addition to which is inserted a transversely resilient frame adapted, when the article as a whole is inserted within a tie or the like, to force the shell members transversely apart, and thus exert a uniform tension upon the fabric of the tie throughout a great extent of its length; and itvbeing anotherobject to use the said resilient frame member with or without the said absorbent material in performing the stretching and restoration of the tie,
With these and other objects in view, as
will be hereinafter fully brought out, the invention comprises additional. details of. construction and operation clearly defined. in the following description, when read in a conjunction with the accompanying drawsurrounding tie,
ings, in which Figure l is a plan view of the improved presser in operative position and comprising the shell members and absorbent material; Fig. 2 is a transverse section on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a plan view showing the employment of the transversely resilient members to stretch or press a tie; Fig. 4 is a plan view showing substantially the presser illustrated in Fig. 1, and augmented by the resilient member of Fig. 3 employed to stretch a tie or the like; and F 5. is a vertical transverse section on the line 5-5 of Fig. 4.
Referring to Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawings, a hollow shell member is provided of wood, metal, fiber, celluloid, or other suitable material, and comprising a pair of oppositely positioned channel sections 1 and 2, U-shaped in cross-section, and connected at one end by oppositely positioned face portions 3, and intermediate of their longitudinal extent by means of transversely extending portions 4, while at the corresponding ends of said channel sections opposite saidportions 3, the formerare connected by a hollow cuplike section 5. This construction provides a plurality of oppositely positioned openings in pairs 6 and 7, which, however, may be of any number and configuration.
As shown in Fig. 2, this shell member is flattened, but with a uniform thickness adapted to receive a sheet 8 of suitable absorbent material, such for instance as blotting paper, felt, or the like, and adapted to contain a suitable quantity of water or other moistening fluid, the moisture of which is permitted to evaporate through the openings 6 and 7 The tie-presser in far as it will go into this form is inserted as the larger open end of a tie, which in general is illustrated in outline by the dot-and-dash line 9), and a tie with the presser inserted therein may be laid away or hung up until the moisture 1n the absorbent material has evaporated by passing outwardly through the fabricof the after which, when said material is substantially or entirely dry, the presser can be removed from the tie, and it will be found that the latter has returned to its original shape and with all creases eliminated therefrom, in fact in such condition that the tie will have restored to it all of its original freshness of appearance;
\ general laterally positioned converging portions 11, connected at their near'ends by a transversely expansible M-section 12, while their opposite end portions, separated a greater distance from each other, are connected by a transversely expansible W-section 13, in which latter section one end of the wire-frame terminates in an eye 14: midway of one leg, while the opposite end portion 15 of the frame is bent to extend transversely through said eye and thence pass slidably across the opposite leg of said latter expansible section, this end portion 15 being operative to yieldingly press against the adjacent leg of said W-section to frictionally retain an under'edge portion of the tie, to
prevent the latter from slipping off of the frame toward its smaller end.
Referring now to Figs. 4 and 5, oppositely positioned U-shaped channel members 18 and 19 are provided, between and within which is positioned a sheet of suitable ab sorbent material 20, the same being retained in position by means of 0p ositely positioned integral projections 2l and 22 from the sides of said channel members. Also lying within said channel members, but beyond the extent of said absorbent material,
are positioned the laterally disposed side members 11 of the resilient frame illustrated in Fig. 3. The said channel members 18 and 19 are provided at their near ends with enlarged hollow portions 23, which jointly and completely house the end section 12 of said resilient member, while said last-named member is retained Within the corresponding portions of said channel members by means of crescent-shaped inwardly bent lugs 24:, of a number and in posit ons as may be found desirable.
Wlth thls last-described construction, the
presser as a whole is inserted within the larger end of a tie indicated by the dot-anddash line 25 and substantially as far thereinto as may be desired, for the yielding nature of the resilient member will obviously permit the contraction of the laterally disposed channel members to conform to a portion of the tie having a smaller transverse width than the same tie possesses nearer to its larger end. As in the case first described,
water previously taken up by the absorbent material 20 is permitted to evaporate therefrom through the fabric of the tie until the evaporation has been completed, and thus the device will be found to have restored to the tie its original new uncreased appearance, but without having injured the tie in any way, shape, or form.
n conclusion, it is obvious that the tiepresser of the construction herein described will, in addition to its efiiciency of operation, be extremely simple and relatively ineX ensive to produce as well as to replace.
aving thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to protect by Letters Patent of the United States is 1. A tie-presser, comprising oppositely positioned channel members, means to retain said members in unitary relation, and
an absorbent member positioned betweenand within said members.
2. A tie-presser,, comprising oppositely positioned channel members, a transversely resilient frame positioned within said members, means to hold said frame within said members, and absorbent means also positioned between and within said members.
3. A tie-presser, comprising oppositely positioned channel members movable laterally with respect to each other, a transversely resilient frame positioned within said members, means to hold said frame within said members, and absorbent means also positioned between and within said members.
In testimony whereof I have aflixed my signature.
