Abstract
There is disclosed apparatus for extracting liquid from cloth goods, such as laundry from a washing machine, wherein a dome having a diaphragm across its lower end is mounted above a press plate which is reciprocable beneath the dome between an upper position adjacent the diaphragm, whereby the diaphragm may be inflated by fluid pressure supplied to the dome in order to press a batch of goods received on the press plate, and a lower position to permit the pressed goods or cake to be moved laterally off the press plate and another batch to be received thereon at the start of a subsequent press cycle, and a basket is mounted for shifting vertically between an upper position to form with the press plate a container for the goods which are received thereon, and a lower position beneath the top side of the press plate as the press plate is raised to its upper position as well as upon lowering of the press plate to permit removal of the cake.
