ABSTRACT:
An improved head and buck for a fabric pressing machine, each comprising a hollow casting. The head has an upper steam chamber and a lower spray chamber. A cowling surrounds the head steam chamber, having air intake holes at one end and an air valve near its other end directly connecting the cowling to the spray chamber. The head has a resilient peripheral sealing element engaging a peripheral rim on the buck when the head is closed thereagainst. The buck has a vacuum valve connecting the buck to a source of vacuum. With the head sealed about the buck, air in heat exchange with the head steam chamber within the cowling can be drawn through the workpiece during the drying step of the pressing cycle by opening the buck vacuum valve. The buck is provided with a grid plate, pad and cover assembly which is divided longitudinally into front and rear halves. The front half is fixed on the buck and the rear half is shiftable toward and away therefrom to apply tension to a workpiece transversely of a longitudinal seam therein. In another embodiment both buck halves are shiftable toward and away from each other. The head is made in two longitudinal halves shiftable toward and away from each other. When pressed against the workpiece and the buck, the head halves may be shifted away from each other producing a similar shift in the buck assemblies to apply tension to the workpiece transversely of a seam therein.
