Abstract
A finishing apparatus for a pants-like garment is provided with a longitudinally extending support for a garment, a longitudinally extending, inflatable bag for supplying steam and air to the inside of the garment, and creasing blades that extend along the bag and engage the inside of the garment, such as each pants leg, to fold over the material and provide preliminary creases therealong. A pair of creasing heads also extend along the machine outside of the garment carried thereby and are provided with heating apparatus therefor. Each head has a pair of clamping blades swingably mounted to, after the inside creasing blades have been moved out of engagement with the folded-over length portions of the garment, cooperate with associated heads and engage the outside of the preliminary folded-over portions to provide final creases along the garment or the pants legs thereof. External and internal cooperating crotch-pressing heads are also provided for cooperative movement into and out of a pressing relation with the garment. The heads are moved into and out of a cooperating position with the outside of the garment in the use of the machine to fold-over length portions of and thereafter form creases therealong.
