Abstract: A spray washing system for garments including at least three spray stations for spraying garments passing through the spray stations. Each spray station has a liquid tank and a pump which has an inlet located in the associated tank. Liquid is introduced into the tank of the first spray station. Pipes interconnect the tanks of the first spray station and the second spray station, and the tanks of the second spray station and the third spray station for feeding liquid sequentially from the first spray station to the third spray station. The sequential flow of liquid between the tanks of the spray stations is opposite to the sequence of passage of the garments through the spray stations. Liquid is introduced continuously in the tank of the first spray station, and liquid is fed continuously to the sequentially interconnected spray stations. The pipes interconnecting the spray stations are overflow pipes.

Abstract: A spray washing system for garments including aspray station through which garments are transported in a generally vertical plane. The spray station has a set of vertically spaced pipes with parallel axes extending generally parallel to said plane. Each of the pipes forms an acute angle with the horizontal. A spray nozzle is mounted on each of the pipes and is arranged to direct a spray against garments in said plane. The pipes are rotatively oscillated about their axes to cause the spray area of the nozzles mounted thereon to oscillate. The vertically spaced pipes are interconnected so as to be simultaneously rotatively oscillated. Bars are rigidly connected to and extend from the pipes. Links are rotatively connected to the bars of two vertically spaced pipes on rotative axes parallel to the pipe axes, and provide for simultaneous movement of the interconnected bars.

Abstract: A garment hanger includes a wire frame formed into a lower member, a pair of upper members and an intermediate hook. The lower member is provided with upwardly extending lugs spaced to accommodate the waistband loops of pairs of trousers of various sizes so that the trousers can be suspended from the hanger and conveyed through laundering apparatus.
