ABSTRACT:
A seam press for tubular clothing articles, comprising a free pressing beam operable to receive an article with a seam portion thereof extending along the top side of the beam, and an elongated expander member located underneath the beam and designed and suspended so as to be generally vertically movable between an upper inactive position in which it allows for easy introduction of the article onto the beam and easy withdrawal therefrom, and a lowered operative position in which it is substantially freely flexible so as to be able to rest on the inner bottom side of the tubular clothing article and thereby stretch the article substantially uniformly throughout its length. The press is usable for pressing of seams of the single flap type without the article having to be turned the wrong side out, and preferably the pressing beam is so adapted and connected with a steam generator that steam may be supplied to the seam portion through the surface of the beam, thereby obviating the use of external pressing iron means. Preferably the expander member consists of a row of heavy tubular elements connected with means for compressing the row of elements axially to make the member stiff and liftable as a whole, while otherwise the tubular members are allowed to flex relative each other.
