Abstract:
A shirts press device comprised of a buck having a protruded curved upper surface on which a collar of a shirts 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 being selected to be larger than a radius of curvature of the iron surface of the press iron, the buck being divided into a right segment and a left segment at its central position to form a pair of right and left divided members, and there being provided a depressing mechanism for turning each of the divided members in an upward and outward direction when the collar is pressed, and pushing it against the iron surface of the press iron, wherein the depressing mechanism is constructed to have a cylinder device having a rod extending along an upward or downward direction and arranged at a fixed segment of a buck in a raised state, a block member ascended or descended under an extending or retracting action of a rod of the cylinder device, rollers engaged with both side surfaces of the block member, said cylinder device is arranged at said fixing segment corresponding to the central position of the buck, said block member causes both side surfaces engaged with the rollers to be curved in a crank shape which is a substantial protruded shape as seen in its front elevational view, and said rollers are arranged at each of the divided members in a symmetrical manner, wherein springs for use in turning each of the divided members pushed up through ascending of the block member in a downward direction and returning it are arranged between a lower and near outer position of each of the divided members and a fixing segment of the buck, wherein the padding of the buck is made such that a planer material of aramid fiber is applied as a lower surface and felt is overlapped on the planer material, and wherein a depth of the upper surface of the buck is selected as such a length as one in which the collar of the shirts can be mounted while being faced from the front side to the rear side of the buck and there are provided receiving members for use in receiving the shirts at the front side and the rear side of the buck.
