Garment pressurizing apparatus

摘要

Prior to pressurizing a garment at an opening therein, interior and exterior elements are drawn together along the longitudinal axis of a tube through which the pressurizing gas is applied, to grip the garment around the full periphery of that opening. In one particular embodiment, a means for monitoring pressure within the garment is included in the apparatus to provide for leak testing the garment after it is pressurized.
