VIBRATORY MANNEQUIN FOR MOIST AND HEAT TREATMENT OF GARMENTS Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: ironing garments. SUBSTANCE: mannequin has detachable perforated sections shaped as two semicylinders intended for shoulders and two hemispheres to be used for chest. The sections can also have the form of planes to simulate shoulder blades. The sections are joined together in a kinematic manner through a slide sleeve and a rod provided with a vibration generator. After the generator being switched on the sleeve is brought into operation to apply motion, on one side, to a hinged leverage attached to the mentioned perforated semicylinders so as to set them into oscillatory motion in a vertical plane. Simultaneously on the other side the sleeve transmits the movement through cams to the supporting perforated hemispheres and to the perforated plane of the back which reciprocate in the horizontal plane. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency of ironing garments in the areas of breast, upper portions of sleeves and back at shoulder blades. 3 cl, 6 dwg
