Abstract: An apparatus having cooperating upright structures each having a series of air carrying tubes acting on opposite sides of a drapery to press same into desired folds. The two series of tubes and upright structures are adapted for opening and closing movement during a pressing cycle. Ducting admits a pressurized airflow and steam into communicating ducts of the upright structures for dispersal by the air tubes. Some of said air tubes are covered with fabric jackets which inflate during a pressing operation.

Abstract: A drapery support for temporary drapery engagement during cleaning and pressing operations. A horizontal support receives a quantity of drapery engaging members with one of said members being slidable into cooperating successive engagement with drapery pleats. The drapery engaging members are self-locking by reason of the reaction force exerted by a clamped drapery. To release the drapery, the drapery engaging member is actuated by finger-tip pressure to disengage abutting surfaces on the support member and said drapery engaging member.

Abstract: A carrier and clip combination slidably mounted in a traverse rod to support a drapery. The carrier and clip include cooperating projections and apertures permitting selective engagement of one to the other so as to correctly locate the drapery hem with respect to the floor. The clip is of bifurcated shape with an irregular surface for purposes of drapery retention.
