Abstract
A press which is suitable for use in fabricating wooden trusses is disclosed, wherein the press includes a lower stationery press platen and an upper moveable press platen opposing the lower press platen. Bellcranks are mounted on the lower press platen supporting structure on opposite sides of the press. A transfer bar interconnects the upper ends of the bellcranks. A hydraulic cylinder connects the moveable, upper press platen and a bellcrank. Guide rods are provided to guide the moveable upper press platen during vertical movement above the lower press platen. The press exerts substantial pressures upon the trusses or the like being pressed between the platens, while maintaining the platens in a generally parallel relationship, in spite of uneven press loading.
