Abstract

A garment pressing machine wherein a pivotable link is disposed in spaced relationship to the machine arm carrying the machine pressing head and an actuator is arranged between the link and arm to provide the necessary pressure for pressing. Initial pivoting of the arm and link with the actuator therebetween occurs before the application of force by the actuator. A latching mechanism prevents reverse pivoting of the link during force application and the desired pressing pressure is achieved. The latching mechanism is further arranged so as not to latch unless initial pivoting of the arm has been completed.
