page_text: JAMES EVERITT, 203, Regent Street, London, W, Tailor, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows
This invention relates to an appliance for pressing and preserving the shape
of the legs of trousers
For this purpose two beads are used, between which the legs of the trousers
are placed, the boards being large enough to completely cover them
To the bottom boaid two cross-bans of metal aid fixed, to the ends of which
screws are hinged in such a way that they can be either folded underneath the
board for convenience in packing or 1aised perpendicularly above it for when
in use
Each of the four screws is fitted with a fly-nut by means of which the pressure
18 applied.
The pressure is distributed over the top board by means of two flat bars, one
end of each having in it a hole through which one of the screws passes, forming
a pivot on which the bar may be turned
Both bars are placed on the screws on the same side of the press
The other end of each bai has a notch in it in such a position that it can slip
under the f-nut on the sciew opposite the one on which the bar revolves.
To use the press the trousers are placed between the two boards, the notched
bars swung round over the top board and placed in position under the fly-nuts
which are then screwed till the desired pressure is obtained

This invention relates to an appliance for pressing and preserving the shape
of the legs of trousers
And in order that my invention may be thoroughly understood, I now proceed
to describe the accompanying diawing thereof, reference being had to letters
and figures marked thereon

page_text: Fig. 1, is a view of one of the cross bars d screwed to the underside of the
bottom board b
Fig 2, 18 a plan of the top of the trouser piess with the two flat bais h and
fly nuts g in position
Fig 3, is a side view of the trouser press showing the screw e fitting in a
notch or recess k cut in the sides of the bottom board b and the ends of bar h
and blocks fon bar d.
Fig 4, 18 an end view of Fig 2, parts of this figure is broken off.
For this purpose, two boards a and b are used, between which the legs of
the trousers are placed, the boards being large enough to completely cover
them
To the bottom board b two cross-bars d of metal are fixed by screws o, to the
ends of which sciews e are hinged or pivoted to blocks or jaws f in such a way
that they can be either folded underneath the board for convenience in packing
01 raised perpendicularly above for when in use
Each of the four screws e is fitted with a fly nut g by means of which the
pressure is applied
The pressure is distributed over the top board a by means of two flat bars h
as in Fig. 2, one end of each having in it a hole through which one of the
screws e passes, forming a pivot on which the bar h may be turned
Both bars are placed on the sciews c on the same side of the press as in
Fig 2
The other end of each baih has a notch in it in such a position that it can
ship under the flv-nut g on the sciewe opposite the one on which the bar h
revolves
To use the press the trousers are placed between the two boards a and b, the
notched bars swing round over the top board and placed in position under
the fly nuts g which are then screwed home till the desired pressure 18 obtained.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same 18 to be performed, I declare that what
I claim 18:
