摘要:
An article of clothing carried on an upstanding planar form is continuously moved along a path which passes between a pair of upstanding pressing members mounted in closely spaced parallel relationship within a drying chamber. As the form enters the area between the pressing members, the members are separated by the form, against the action of springs urging the members towards each other. The opposing interior pressing surfaces of the members are each spring loaded into engagement with a different side of the article to smooth and press same as the form moves relative to the pressing members.

Knitted garment portions are manufactured in a continuous web of such portions, with each garment portion being attached to the succeeding garment portion in the web by a separating thread that is intended to be subsequently removed; in accordance with the invention, the separating thread is made of a heat sensitive filament which melts or is destroyed when heat is applied, thereby separating the garment portions; heated air is directed at an oblique angle to downstream motion of the web and melts the separating thread on the trailing edge of each garment portion.
