Abstract: A press-head with a self-levelling mechanism automatically adjusts the position of the press-head when it encounters a variation in thickness of an item being pressed. In the preferred embodiment, the mechanism includes a plurality of pins which stand proud of the sole plate and are retained slidably and tiltably by the main body. Advantageously, a spring may be provided about each pin between the main body and the sole plate. The press-head has means for connecting it to a lifting shaft of a garment press and the pins may be arranged in a symmetrical array relative to that shaft.
