Abstract
An ironing press includes an ironing table equipped with an endless conveyor belt mounted on two spaced parallel rollers and a drive for rotating one of the rollers to drive the belt. For an ironing operation, a heatable pressing plate is moved near to the ironing table. In order to enable the conveyor belt to have sufficient strength and inextensibility to be driven by the rollers and yet provide a suitable ironing surface the conveyor belt is made up of a drive belt carrying a cushion and a textile covering enclosing the outer surface of the cushion. Friction between the cushion and the covering acts to drive the covering with the drive belt.
