Abstract

Improved pressing machines for pants, in reference to FIG. 1B an upper portion pressing machine for pants. The framework (11) has a contour shape of the upper portion of a pair of pants, making it easier to drape the upper portion of the pants over the machine for pressing. In reference to FIG. 2B a pressing machine for pressing the inseams and out seams on the legs of a pair of pants. The pressing framework (42) is wider at the rear side and narrower at the opposite end, allowing relatively small and large pants to be pressed. In reference to FIG. 3C the pressing machine is to be used on creased pants. The framework plate (73) has an indention (74). The seams of a pair of pants are aligned with the indention, when the plate (73) is brought down, it will not touch the seams. The pants are left with no impressions or shiny marks. All three pressing machines have steam and vacuum valve connections and are manually operated, by stepping on the foot pedals.

An industrial upper portion of pants pressing steam apparatus to be used on the upper portion of a pelvic area of a pair of pants, wherein the industrial upper portion of pants pressing steam apparatus removes wrinkles, impressions and shine from pants of various sizes, and said industrial upper portion of pants pressing steam apparatus has a triangular shape with rounded corners so that the pelvic area of a pair of pants may be slipped easily over said industrial upper portion of pants pressing steam apparatus, further including a vacuum valve with two openings, wherein a first opening attaches to a vacuum source and a second opening has a pin release, which controls the opening and closing of the vacuum valve allowing air to be received from said industrial upper portion of pants pressing steam apparatus.

A method for pressing pants by using three pressing steam apparatuses in sequence comprising:

a. pressing an upper portion of pants using an industrial upper portion of pants pressing steam apparatus;
b. pressing legs of the pants using an industrial legs of pants pressing steam apparatus and
c. forming a crease using an industrial crease-forming steam apparatus;
and
d. wherein said industrial upper portion of pants pressing steam apparatus has a triangular shape with rounded corners, said industrial upper portion of pants pressing steam apparatus comprises a vacuum valve with two openings, wherein a first opening attaches to a vacuum source and a second opening has a pin release, which controls the opening and closing of said vacuum valve allowing air to be received from said industrial upper portion of pants pressing steam apparatus, said industrial upper portion of pants pressing steam apparatus further comprising a tube connection with a means to connect to an outside drain source, said industrial upper portion of pants pressing steam apparatus further comprising a second tube connection with a means to connect to a steam source, said industrial upper portion of pants pressing steam apparatus further comprising a valve having a release pin that controls steam passing via said industrial upper portion of pants pressing steam apparatus, said industrial upper portion of pants pressing steam apparatus further comprising two elongated foot pedals, a first elongated foot pedal being manually operated to engage a wire string that in turn pulls a pin that in turn opens a steam valve door, allowing steam to pass through said industrial upper portion of pants pressing steam apparatus, a second elongated foot pedal being manually operated to engage a wire string that in turn pulls a pin that in turn opens a vacuum valve door allowing air to be received from said industrial upper portion of pants pressing steam apparatus.
