Abstract: Laundry ironing apparatus comprises sequential ironing rolls each associated with an ironing bed. A first conveyer feeds fresh laundry to the inlet zone of the first ironing roll and a scraper removes the pressed laundry from the periphery of the first roll at the outlet zone of such first roll onto a second conveyer which withdraws the pressed laundry from the outlet zone of the first ironing and feeds it into the inlet of the second roll which is located adjacent to the outlet zone of the first roll. The second conveyer withdraws and feeds in first and second stages, the first of which overlies the second roll and the second of which extends back under the first stage to the inlet zone of the second roll. The combined lengths of the first and second stages are such that pressed laundry is completely withdrawn from the first roll before it is fed to the second roll.
