Abstract
An apparatus 5 for applying a creasing setting agent in order to achieve a permanent crease in a textile article such as pants, sheets or the like. The apparatus comprises a support member 12, having a guide member 24 for receiving the textile article to be creased. The support member 12 is mounted on another support or plate 10. There is also included a detachably mounted applicator 31 having a nozzle 34 the applicator being mounted at the one end 50 of the plate member 10 so that the nozzle 34 may be inserted into the opening 32 in the guide member 24. Also a stop member 40 is provided on the guide member 24 and between the opening 32 and the end 50 to substantially preclude hand operation of the applicator as the textile article is being finished.
