ABSTRACT:
In a press wherein an expandable buck and a heated pressing plate are utilized, provision is made for the expansion of the buck without interrupting the overall press finish of garments of varying dimension. The expandable buck includes a thickened longitudinally extending central buck member and two side members. These two side members telescope outwardly from the central buck member. In operation, a garment such as a shirt is passed over the expandable buck. The buck is then expanded at the side members until the garment at its full girth is stretched over the buck. The pressing plate is configured to coact with the buck. It includes an indentation that is configured to coact with the central buck member and thus effect pressing of that portion of the full girth of the garment that overlies the central buck member. It further includes side pressing surfaces designed for cooperative engagement at the expandable sides of the buck protruding beyond the central member. These side surfaces cooperatively press that portion of the garment which happens to overlie the expanded outwardly telescoped side members. The buck is reversible with respect to the pressing plate and symmetrically configured to coact with the pressing plate on both sides. Consequently, the uninterrupted pressing herein disclosed occurs on both sides of the garment to be pressed. Provision is made for the entire apparatus to be mounted flush to a wall.
