Abstract

An ironing machine having two rolls whose axes extend essentially horizontally and are disposed in a common, substantially vertical plane. The rolls can be rotated in opposite rotational directions by means of a drive device. For each roll there are provided two heating elements arranged at different sides of the aforementioned plane. The heating elements have heating surfaces of arcuate cross-sectional configuration. These heating surfaces heating the textile pieces during operation of the ironing machine and pressing such against the rolls. Transport bands or belts serve to guide and transport the textile pieces in such a manner that initially they travel about one and thereafter about the other roll and, thus, follow a predetermined transport path substantially in the form of a figure eight through the ironing machine.
