IMPROVEMENTS IN COLLAR, CUFF, AND SHIRT POLISHING MACHINES
Year: 1886

page_text: I THOMAS CUDLIPP of 8 Church Street, Edgeware Road Manufacturer of Laundry
machinery do hereby declare the nature of the said invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN
COLLAR, CUFF, AND SHIRT POLISHING MACHINES to be as follows:-
This invention relates to certain improvements in Tylers, collar, cuff and shirt
polishing machine.
In this machine pressure on the iron is exercised by means of a bent rod, one end
of which fits in a hole in the fore part of the iron, whilst the other end is hinged to
the frame of the machine in such a manner as to allow of the requisite too and fro
or other movements of the iron, the pressure on the iron being effected by a spiral
spring mounted on a rod at the side of the machine.
When it is required to change the iron, it is lifted, and the rod is run onto a rest
mounted on the frame, this requires a firm wrist and some strength must be
exercised to raise it on this rest, which is straight, and in a plane parallel with the
ironing table.
To facilitate the removal to this rest, I have so constructed it, that by giving it a
slope or incline towards the table, the rod is easily run up the incline, and then rests
in a groove or hollow in the rest; the iron is then quickly released.
As the iron is liable to scorch or otherwise injure the ironing cloth on the table,
when it is left stationary whilst the ironer spreads out, or smooths the collar, cuff
or shirt, on the board whilst polishing, I have contrived a resting place for it,
consisting of a small iron or other bracket, which is screwed or otherwise attached
to the ironing table, at its front end and level with it so that the iron can therefore
be easily run on to it.

machinery do hereby declare the nature of the said invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN
COLLAR, CUFF AND SHIRT POLISHING MACHINES and in what manner the same is to
be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
This invention relates to certain improvements in Tyler's collar, cuff and shirt
polishing machines.
In the accompanying drawings a polishing machine of the Tyler type is shown in
side view with the improvements forming the subject of this invention which will
be hereafter mentioned.
In this machine pressure on the iron is exercised by means of a bent rod c, one
end of which fits in a hole in the fore part of the iron whilst the other end is
hinged to the frame of the machine in such a manner as to allow of the requisite
too and fro movements of the iron, the pressure on the iron being effected by a
spiral spring a, mounted on a rod b, at the side of the machine.
When it is required to change the iron, it is lifted and the rod c, is run onto a
rest mounted on the frame this requires a firm wrist, as some strength must be
exerted to raise it on this rest which is straight and in a plane parallel with the
ironing table.
To facilitate the removal to the rest d, I have so constructed it that by giving it
a slope or incline. towards the table, the rod c is easily run up the incline and then
rests in a groove e, or bollow in the rest, the iron is then quickly released.
As the iron is liable to scorch or otherwise injure the ironing cloth on the table f
when it is left stationary whilst the ironer spreads out or smoothes the collar, cuff
or shirt on the board whilst polishing, I have contrived a resting place consisting
of a small iron or other bracket g which is screwed or otherwise attached to the
ironing table f at its front end, and level with it so that the iron can therefore be
easily run on to it.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
1. The application and combination with a Tyler's cuff and collar polishing
machine of a sloping rest d, inclined towards the ironing table f so that the rod c,
may be easily run up this rest and deposited in the hollow e.
2. The combination with a Tyler's polishing machine of an iron rest consisting
of a small bracket g or additional table connected to and on a level with the ironing
table f the whole as and for the purposes herein set forth.
