Steam presser

Claim 2

A steam presser comprising, a steam-spouting press table composed of a mattress member including a steam chamber; a steam-generating chamber disposed under the steam-spouting press table, a base mounting said steam-generating chamber, said steam-generating chamber comprising a heat plate and a lid plate fitted over the heat plate to define a steam-generating space therebetween; compressive water-feed valve means mounted on said steam-generating chamber for feeding necessary amounts of water to the steam-generating chamber; a water tank situated at a higher position beside the compressive water-feed valve means and communicating with said compressive water-feed valve means; a water supply pipe providing communication between said water tank and said water-feed valve; suction means for waste steam disposed beside the steam-generating chamber and communicating with the bottom of said steam-spouting press table; a suction pipe providing communication between said suction means and said steam-spouting press table; a waste-steam tank disposed beside the base and connected to said suction means; and a discharge pipe for discharging the waste steam sucked by the suction means into said waste steam tank.

Claim 3

A steam presser which comprises: a. a steam-generating chamber mounted on a base and comprising a heat plate heated by an electrical heater and a lid plate fitted over the heat plate to define a steam-generating space therebetween, said lid plate being provided with a water-injection hole and a steam-spouting hole; b. compressive water-feed valve means for feeding necessary amounts of water to said steam-generating chamber, comprising a cylindrical body mounted vertically on the steam-generating chamber and a rod slidably inserted into the cylindrical body along its axis, a lever attached at an upper end of said rod for moving the rod up and down; said rod having at its lower end a seal for opening and closing the water-injection hole on said steam-generating chamber, at the imtermediate portion of the rod there being provided slidably an upper partition plate and a lower partition plate with a certain distance, a spring biasing the lower partition plate and upper partition plate away from each other, the upper and lower partition plates defining an upper water chamber between themselves and the wall of the cylindrical body including a water supply hole, a water tank, a water supply pipe providing communication between said water tank and said water supply hole, the lower partition plate defining a lower water chamber between itself and the bottom portion of the cylindrical body and being provided with water holes, and valves attached to said water holes which open when the pressure in the upper water chamber is raised, to flow water from the upper water chamber to the lower water chamber; c. said water tank for supplying water to said compressive water-feed valve means being disposed at a higher position beside the compressive water-feed valve means and in operation communicating with the water supply hole of the compressive water-feed valve means through the water supply pipe; d. a steam spouting press table situated over the steam-generating chamber and a cover plate hinged over the press table, a spring attached to said cover plate holding the cover plate spaced from said steam-spouting press table, the steam-spouting press table including a mattress member and a porous member and having a steam chamber formed with its top side by said mattress member with said porous member to spout and permeate steam through the porous member and mattress member, and a bottom plate on said steam-spouting press table provided with a steam-injection opening, and a suction opening, a conduit pipe communicating with said injection opening which leads the steam produced in the steam-generating chamber, means comprising an operating lever for opening and closing said suction opening; e. suction means disposed beside said steam-generating chamber and connected with the suction opening on the bottom of said steam-spouting press table, a suction pipe connecting said suction means with said suction opening; f. a waste-steam tank disposed beside the base and communicating with said suction means to store waste steam which has been sucked by the suction means; and a steam-discharge pipe connecting said suction means with said waste-steam tank.

Claim 4

A steam presser which comprises: a. a steam-generating chamber mounted on a base and comprising a heat plate heated by an electrical heater and a lid plate fitted over the heat plate to define a steam-generating space therebetween, said lid plate being provided with a water-injection hole and a steam-spouting hole; b. compressive water-feed valve means for feeding necessary amounts of water to said steam-generating chamber, comprising a cylindrical body mounted vertically on the steam-generating chamber and a rod slidably inserted into the cylindrical body along its axis, a lever attached at an upper end of said rod for moving the rod up and down; said rod having at its lower end a seal for opening and closing the water-injection hole on said steam-generating chamber, at the imtermediate portion of the rod there being provided slidably an upper partition plate and a lower partition plate with a certain distance, a spring biasing the lower partition plate and upper partition plate away from each other, the upper and lower partition plates defining an upper water chamber between themselves and the wall of the cylindrical body including a water supply hole, a water tank, a water supply pipe providing communication between said water tank and said water supply hole, the lower partition plate defining a lower water chamber between itself and the bottom portion of the cylindrical body and being provided with water holes, and valves attached to said water holes which open when the pressure in the upper water chamber is raised, to flow water from the upper water chamber to the lower water chamber; c. said water tank for supplying water to said compressive water-feed valve means being disposed at a higher position beside the compressive water-feed valve means and in operation communicating with the water supply hole of the compressive water-feed valve means through the water supply pipe; d. a steam spouting press table situated over the steam-generating chamber and a cover plate hinged over the press table, a spring attached to said cover plate holding the cover plate spaced from said steam-spouting press table, the steam-spouting press table including a mattress member and a porous member and having a steam chamber formed with its top side by said mattress member with said porous member to spout and permeate steam through the porous member and mattress member, and a bottom plate on said steam-spouting press table provided with a steam-injection opening, and a suction opening, a conduit pipe communicating with said injection opening which leads the steam produced in the steam-generating chamber, means comprising an operating lever for opening and closing said suction opening; e. suction means disposed beside said steam-generating chamber and connected with the suction opening on the bottom of said steam-spouting press table, a suction pipe connecting said suction means with said suction opening; f. a waste-steam tank disposed beside the base and communicating with said suction means to store waste steam which has been sucked by the suction means; and a steam-discharge pipe connecting said suction means with said waste-steam tank.
