Embodiment Construction

[0022] A typical “tube” design collar / cuff press normally presses the collar and both cuffs simultaneously. These prior art designs incorporate a collar press in the center portion of the tube which uses a narrow strip of padding to press only the collar without wrinkling the body of the shirt and two cuff pressing areas (one at each end of the form) to press the cuffs. A preferred embodiment of the present invention modifies this type of cuff and collar press such that the pleats where the end of the sleeve meets the cuff are also pressed. To accomplish this, pleating protrusions are preferably added to each end of the pressing tube. The preferred profile of the pleating protrusions is asymmetrical so that the pleats may be pressed without crushing the rest of the sleeve where it meets the cuff.

[0023] Referring now to FIGS. 1 and 2(a-b), a front and side views of an improved cuff and collar press 2 constructed in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention are ...

Abstract

An improved cuff and collar press for pressing the pleated portions of the sleeves of a shirt as well as the collar. The cuff and collar press has a cylinder-shaped pressing pad that mates with a similarly curved press head to press the collar and cuffs of a shirt. Asymmetrical pleating protrusions extend from opposite ends of the cylinder-shaped pressing pad. The asymmetrical pleating protrusions have a protruding portion for receiving the pleated portion of a shirt sleeve and a cutaway portion that receives the unpleated portion of the sleeve such that the unpleated portion is not crushed when the pleated portion is pressed thereby improving the pressing operation.

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application is a utility application based upon and claiming priority of provisional application No. 60 / 492,691 filed Aug. 4, 2003, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein.FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] This invention relates to apparatus used to press clothing articles. More particularly, the present invention relates to a tubular cuff and collar press with improved asymmetric protruding pleaters. DESCRIPTION OF THE BACKGROUND ART [0003] Presently, there exists many varieties of commercially available shirt pressing assemblies. One such system employs a cylindrical or barrel shaped ironing form for ironing damp collars, cuffs, button-holes and pockets. The article or part of the article to be pressed is placed on the lower cylindrical form and then the mating upper cylindrical form is closed against the article to complete the pressing operation. [0004] The prior art barrel type presser does not allow for the ef...
