The head is after the pressing operation initially elevated upwardly from the buck and then rearwardly away from the buck. The head is mounted at one end of a double-armed lever, which is pivotally mounted at the upper end of a column. The column is at its lower end pivotally mounted to the frame and is actuated by a power-operated jack. A second power-operated jack acts on one end of a second double-armed lever having the same pivot axle as the column. The opposite end of said second lever is connected to the first lever through a link. The second jack can by acting on the second lever move the head vertically downwardly into pressing contact with the buck and elevate it therefrom resp.
