Abstract: The shirts press of the present invention is formed to comprise a collar iron buck on which a collar of a shirts is mounted while being expanded, and a press iron for depressing against the upper surface of the collar iron buck to press the collar. The upper surface position of the collar iron buck corresponding to the central part of the collar in its longitudinal direction is notched in an inverse triangular shape as seen from its front elevational view. The right and left positions corresponding to both ends of the collar in its longitudinal direction communicating with the upper surface position are formed into a horizontal surface. When the upper surface of the collar iron buck is depressed by the press iron, the surface is formed into a flat surface in such a way that it may be fallen. In addition, when the collar is mounted on the collar iron buck, there is provided a receiving plate for supporting the central part of the collar in its longitudinal direction.

Abstract: The shirt press of the present invention is formed to comprise a collar iron buck on which a collar is mounted while being expanded and a press iron for depressing against the buck. The upper surface of the buck corresponds to a central part of the collar and is notched in an inverse triangle shape. The right and left positions correspond to the collar ends and are placeable on left and right buck portions into a horizontal surface. The collar is mounted on the buck and a receiving plate, which is arranged above the upper-notched surface with the height thereof being set to the left and right buck portions, supports a central portion. When the press iron is lowered the ends of the collar are pressed and pulled out such that the iron surface of the press is formed into a flat surface.

Abstract: This invention relates to an apparatus for extending the side portions of the shirts put on the dummy toward a side. An object of the present invention enables the side portions of the shirts to be protruded toward the side strictly in compliance with the curved lines by a simple configuration without increasing its cost and further enables the body part of the shirts to be tensioned. The present invention is comprised of side pressing members arranged longitudinally at both sides of the dummy, and driving devices for protruding the side pressing members toward the sides of the dummy. The side pressing members are formed into a bow-like shape with their concave surfaces being faced to the side portions of the dummy. In addition, flexible wire members abutted against the inner surfaces of the side portions of the shirts are applied in tension in a chord-like manner at an upper end and a lower end of each of the side pressing members.

Abstract: This invention relates to a cover of an iron receiving member arranged near a dummy in which a shirt is put on the dummy and a cuff of the shirt is inserted into and fitted to the cover. The product of this invention is formed into a bag shape to be fitted to the iron-receiving member and a fixing tool is provided with an opening-shaped port to be fixed to the iron-receiving member. The product of this invention is made such that the lower surface of the cover main body abutting against the lower side of the iron-receiving member is provided with a bag part in a form of pocket which is bulged with hot air supplied for the dummy into the sleeve for finishing in tension a tuck part of a sleeve.

Abstract: There are provided a torso 2 on which a shirt 1 is put; a pair of front and rear press irons 6 for pressing against a front side and a rear side of the torso 2 to press finish the shirt 1; and a pair of right and left supporting arms 7 arranged at both sides of the torso 2. The upper segments of the supporting arms 7 are provided with an iron table 10 around which the sleeve of the shirt 1 is positioned and set, and with a heating iron 11 for use in press finishing the tuck and the cuff of the shirt sleeve. The upper segments of the supporting arms 7 are provided with clamp devices 12 for use in holding the sleeve end of a short-sleeve shirt 1 and fixing it. The supporting arm 7 is provided with a turning device 13 for turning the upper segments of the supporting arms 7 having the clamp devices 12 and oppositely arranging the clamp devices 12 at the side segment of the torso 2.

Abstract: The present invention enables the cloth shrunk through its washing to be finished in press to such a state as found in its new product. The present invention is comprised of a buck having a protruded curved upper surface on which a collar of the shirts 1 is mounted and a press iron having a concave curved iron surface for depressing the upper surface of the buck. A radius of curvature of the upper surface of the buck is selected to be larger than a radius of curvature of the iron surface of the press iron. The buck is divided at its central position into a right segment and a left segment so as to form a pair of right and left divided members. There is provided a depressing mechanism for turning each of the divided segments in an upward and outward direction at the time of pressing at the collar.

Abstract: There are provided a torso 2 on which a shirt 1 is put; a pair of front and rear press irons 6 for pressing against a front side and a rear side of the torso 2 to press finish the shirt 1; and a pair of right and left supporting arms 7 arranged at both sides of the torso 2. The upper segments of the supporting arms 7 are provided with an iron table 10 onto which the sleeve of the shirt 1 is inserted and set, and with a heating iron 11 for use in press finishing the tuck and the cuff of the shirt 1. The upper segments of the supporting arms 7 are provided with clamp devices 12 for use in holding the sleeve end of a short-sleeve shirt 1 and fixing it. The supporting arm 7 is provided with a turning device 13 for turning the upper segments of the supporting arms 7 having the clamp devices 12 and oppositely arranging the clamp devices 12 at the side segment of the torso 2.

Abstract: This invention is formed such that the pressing table is formed by a pair of front-side pressing table and rear-side pressing table. This invention is also formed such that the pressing iron is formed by a pair of front-side pressing iron corresponding to the front-side pressing table and a rear-side pressing iron corresponding to the rear-side pressing table. Then, this invention is constructed such that the front-side pressing table and the rear-side pressing table are arranged side-by-side with a clearance being applied to arrange the overlapped portions of cloth. Further, this invention is provided with an operating mechanism for making a slight rearward positional displacement of both the rear-side pressing table and the rear-side pressing iron so as to make a taught state of the trousers during pressing of the trousers.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a shirt pressing and finishing machine in which body buck assemblies are arranged upright between a pair of front and rear pressplates. The pressplates are provided with a metallic pipe having a superior thermal conduction through which steam is passed. The metallic pipe is contacted with the rear surface of each of the pressplates and bent into a state in which the front surface of each of the pressplates is heated uniformly. The pressplates are formed by sticking metallic plates from each other, and the rear surface of each of the pressplates is formed by a metallic plate having a superior thermal conductivity.

Abstract: A mechanism for use on a boom-type vehicle includes load lifting forks carried by a low profile twist-resistant carriage which is one link in a low profile parallelogram linkage attached to a fly section of the boom and maintained level in all positions of the boom by a slave cylinder connected between the boom and a slave link which constitutes a member of the parallelogram linkage. The mechanism can be adjusted to many positions while automatically maintaining the relative position of the forks with respect to the vehicle frame for any boom angle. The mechanism can be adjusted to provide a long reach over or under obstructions in order to remove or place a load. It may also engage loads below ground level. Load pick-up or placement can be performed in confined areas which are unreachable by conventional forklift trucks.
