A vacuum control barrier and buck cover system for positioning on the press buck of a garment press for reducing the force of the vacuum applied to a portion of a garment by the press buck. The vacuum control barrier includes a barrier sheet dimensioned to cover at least a substantial portion of the air pervious surface of the rear portion of the press buck through which a vacuum is applied to a garment such that the barrier sheet reduces or eliminates the force of the vacuum applied to the garment through the air pervious surface of the rear portion of the press buck relative to the vacuum force applied to the garment through the air pervious surface of the front portion of the press buck. The buck cover system includes a front cover portion for covering at least a substantial portion of the air pervious surface of the front portion of the press buck, and a rear cover portion for covering at least a substantial portion of the air pervious surface of the rear portion of the press buck. The rear cover portion is substantially less air pervious than the front cover portion such that a vacuum of lesser force is applied to the garment through the rear cover portion than the vacuum applied to the garment through the front cover portion.
A vacuum control barrier for a press buck of a garment press, the press buck having a front portion provided with an air pervious surface through which a vacuum is applied to a garment positioned on the press buck, and having a rear portion provided with an air pervious surface through which a vacuum is applied to a garment positioned on the press buck, said control barrier comprising:
A cover system for a press buck of a garment press, the press buck having a front portion provided with an air pervious surface through which a vacuum is applied to a garment positioned on the press buck, and having a rear portion provided with an air pervious surface through which a vacuum migrates as the vacuum is applied to a garment positioned on the press buck, said cover system comprising:
