Abstract
A machine for pressing a garment sleeve and its associated arm hole region provided with a sleeve form for insertion into the sleeve of a garment to be pressed and a nipping member for pressing the associated arm hole region of the sleeve upon relative movement of the sleeve form and the nipping member into pressing relationship, in which the form and/or nipping member comprises a pair of sections movable generally laterally toward and away from one another to vary their respective overall sizes, that movement preferably being accomplished by wedge means inserted between the respective pair of sections.
Claims39
A garment pressing machine comprising a sleeve form for insertion into the sleeve of a garment to be pressed and a nipping member for pressing the associated arm hole region of said sleeve upon relative movement of the sleeve form and the nipping member into pressing relationship, said form and said member each comprising two sections flanking a wedge element which is position adjustable to move the half sections relative to each other and hence vary the overall size of said form or member.
In a garment pressing machine comprising a sleeve form for insertion into the sleeve of a garment to be pressed and a nipping member for pressing the associated arm hole region region of said sleeve upon relative movement of the sleeve form and the nipping member into pressing relationship, the improvement which comprises said form comprising a pair of sections movable generally laterally toward and away from one another to vary the overall size of said form, said member comprises a pair of sections movable generally laterally toward and away from one another to vary the overall size of said member, means operative on said form sections to thus move them, means operative on said member sections to thus move them, and a garment shoulder support connected to and movable laterally with at least one of said sections.
In a garment pressing machine comprising a sleeve form for insertion into the sleeve of a garment to be pressed and a nipping member for pressing the associated arm hole region of said sleeve upon relative movement of the sleeve form and the nipping member into pressing relationshp, the improvement which comprises at least one of said form and member comprising a pair of sections movable generally laterally toward and away from one another to vary the overall size of said form, means operative on said sections to thus move them, and a garment shoulder support connected to and moving laterally with at least one of said sections.
In a garment pressing machine comprising a sleeve form for insertion into the sleeve of a garment to be pressed and a nipping member for pressing the associated arm hole region of said sleeve form upon relative movement of the sleeve form and the nipping member into pressing relationship, the improvement which comprises said member comprising a pair of sections movable generally laterally toward and away from one another to vary the overall size of said form, and externally controlled means operative on said sections to thus move them.
In a garment pressing machine comprising a sleeve form for insertion into the sleeve of a garment to be pressed and a nipping member for pressing the associated arm hole region of said sleeve upon relative movement of the sleeve form of the nipping member into pressing relationship, the improvement which comprises said form and said member each comprising a pair of sections movable generally laterally toward and away from one another to vary the overall size of said form, and externally controlled means operative on said sections to thus move them.
