ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Technical Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a technique for finishing the collar and sleeves of a shirt after washing.
2. Prior Art
The collar and sleeves of a shirt are composed of face and back cloths, and a thin adhesive padding cloth inserted between them, which are pressed by a high pressure press. The adhesive padding cloth shrinks when washed. It usually shrinks by about 10 to 15%. As a result, the surface is creased and the size is reduced. The existing apparatuses are designed to press instantly at a high pressure because the working efficiency is most important, and are not designed to correct the shrunk state. Being finished in the shrunk state, the size is reduced and creases are formed.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is hence a primary object of the invention to straighten the shrinkage of padding cloth easily even when finishing by machine.
That is, it is intended to present a collar and sleeve shaping method comprising a heating step for heating the cloth, and a stretching step for stretching the cloth heated at the heating step, before the press stage.
It is also intended to present a collar and sleeve shaping apparatus comprising a stretching mechanism for catching the end of a cloth before the press stage and pulling in the cloth stretching direction, between an upper iron and a lower iron.
It is other object of the invention to stretch uniformly and finish homogeneously in an easy operation, by stretching at the stretching step by means of a stretching mechanism installed between an upper iron and a lower iron, in this collar and sleeve shaping method.
That is, according to the above constitution, before the press stage, the cloth put on the lower iron is pulled and stretched at the stretching step and by the action of the stretching mechanism. Accordingly, even in machine finishing where high working efficiency is demanded, the cloth can be pressed in a stretched state, and a favorable finishing state similar to a brand-new product free from shrinkage or crease may be obtained.
Other objects of the invention will be more clearly understood from the following description of the embodiments.
