Abstract
A garment and laundry press including a relatively movable press buck and press head one of which is connected to pivotal arm structure at one thereof with the other end of said pivotal arm structure being connected to a longitudinally extending fluid pressure driven rotatable actuator member.
Claims13
A garment and laundry press comprising:
- a support structure having a press buck and a press head mounted thereon in cooperative longitudinally extending movable relationship;
- an arm pivotally mounted on said support structure to pivot said press head relative said press buck in garment pressing engagement and disengagement;
- and, a rotating actuator longitudinally extending parallel said press buck and said press head in rotatably mounted connected relationship with said arm to selectively actuate said arm to pivot said press head relative said press buck uniformly in garment and laundry pressing engagement and disengagement, said rotating actuator including a first member fixed to said support structure and a second member rotatably mounted in spaced chamber defining relation about said first fixed member;
- and a pressure arrangement cooperative therebetween to selectively move said rotatable second member relative said first fixed member in opposed directions.

A garment and laundry press comprising:
- a housing support structure having height and level adjustable base feet and a horizontal and longitudinally extending table top mounted thereon;
- a horizontal and longitudinally extending press back fixedly mounted on said table top;
- an adjustable, longitudinally extending press head positioned above said press buck to be in cooperative engageable and disengageable garment pressing relationship therewith, said press head being fastened by spaced, threaded bolts at the corresponding distal ends of a pair of spaced, parallel, longitudinally extending right angle arms, each of said spaced threaded bolts, including a helical coil spring positioned there around to allow for adjustable resilient engagement of said press head with said press buck;
- a pair of spaced, parallel, longitudinally and vertically extending support arms fastened at their base corresponding ends to said support structure;
- a horizontally extending cylindrical shaft fastened at opposed extremities to the corresponding distal ends of said vertically extending support arms;
- a longitudinally extending chamber defining housing rotatably mounted at opposed ends in sealed relationship with said horizontally fixed shaft;
- a high torque, double vane actuator rotatably mounted on said shaft within said chamber of said housing, said vane actuator being capable of abutting and incrementally rotating said longitudinally extending chamber defining housing through an angle of up to at least ninety-four degrees (94.degree.), said housing having fixed thereto the corresponding ends removed from said distal ends of said pair of right angle arms fastened to said press head;
- and, a pneumatic controlled pressure source arranged to incrementally rotate said double vane actuator and said chamber defining housing about said horizontally extending fixed cylindrical shaft.
