Device for hanging up, pressing and stowing garments by a mechanic traction movement without aid of electric energy

Abstract

The invention discloses a device for hanging up, pressing and stowing garments by a mechanic traction movement without aid of electric energy. According to the invention, a system (100) is described for stretching, drying and pressing a garment, comprising a clothes-hanger (2) and at least one stretching device. Such a stretching device comprises a first rod (1), connected to the aforesaid clothes-hanger (2) by means of coupling-releasing means (3), and two pairs of arms (8). Each pair comprises a first arm (80) and a second arm (81), each of which comprises a first end (82) connected to the first rod (1) at a respective anchoring position and a second end (83) which is movable with respect to the first anchoring position, adapted to move close to or away from the anchoring position in controlled manner. The stretching device further comprises first stretching means (7), comprising two garment stretching elements (7), which are arranged on opposite sides with respect to the first rod (1). Each of the stretching elements (7) is connected to the two movable second ends (83) of a respective one of the aforesaid pairs of arms (8), so as to move in a direction perpendicular to the first rod (1), moving away therefrom or close thereto, as a result of said movements of the movable second ends (83). The stretching device further comprises control means (6, 11, 12) for controlling the movement of the aforesaid movable second ends (83) of the arms (8).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to systems and devices for stretching, drying, ironing and storing garments. In particular, the present invention relates to ironing systems and devices that do not require electrical energy assistance. Background technique [0002] Refer to devices capable of stretching, ironing and storing garments in any domestic and industrial situation. The applicant is currently not aware of a device of this type adapted to perform all of the above functions performed by a single structure. [0003] With regard to ironing only, irons and vertical steam irons for domestic use and various ironing machines for industrial use are known. [0004] The disadvantages of the known systems indicated above include, among others, the consumption of electrical energy and the demands placed on the ironing operator, involving the use of his / her time and energy. [0005] Also, after multiple ironing operations, the direct heat generated by tradit...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] The disadvantages of the known systems noted above include, among others, the consumption of electrical energy and the demands on the ironing operator, involving the use of his / her time and energy

[0005] Also, after multiple ironing operations, the direct heat from traditional methods may eventually damage the item of clothing

[0006] The known irons and ironing machines can then involve certain hazards and imply a non-negligible cost, both at the domestic and industrial level

Also, it involves taking up enough space for pre-ironing storage and for storing the device, as well as for immediate packaging or positioning of dry items
