Abstract: An improved cuff and collar press for pressing the pleated portions of the sleeves of a shirt as well as the collar. The cuff and collar press has a cylinder-shaped pressing pad that mates with a similarly curved press head to press the collar and cuffs of a shirt. Asymmetrical pleating protrusions extend from opposite ends of the cylinder-shaped pressing pad. The asymmetrical pleating protrusions have a protruding portion for receiving the pleated portion of a shirt sleeve and a cutaway portion that receives the unpleated portion of the sleeve such that the unpleated portion is not crushed when the pleated portion is pressed thereby improving the pressing operation.

Abstract: An improved shirt pressing device for gripping both short and long-sleeved shirts. A buck having a pair of retractable arms for receiving a shirt is mounted on a base. A sleeve gripping member is provided on each retractable arm to grip the sleeve of the shirt to be pressed. Each sleeve gripping member includes a pair of clamping members for holding the cuff of a long-sleeved shirt against a cuff mount. A pair of sleeve engagement bars attached to the clamping members are adapted to grip the inside of the sleeve of a short-sleeved shirt. Thus, the retractable arms are configured to receive and hold the sleeves of both short and long-sleeved shirts.
