An apparatus for setting pre-formed creases of a pair of pants comprises a base, a pair of substantially horizontal parallel support members extending from the base. An upper crease blade is mounted to each of the support members and includes an upper applicator nozzle. Each of the upper applicator nozzles is connected to a supply of setting material. A lower crease blade is movably affixed via a mechanical assembly to each of the support member and also includes a lower applicator nozzle. Each of the lower applicator nozzles is connected to the supply of setting material. The apparatus further includes a pair of actuators connected to the mechanical assemblies that are adapted to independently controllably move each of the lower crease blades relative to the upper crease blades.A pant removal section comprises a support frame having a near end closest to the base and a far end further away from the base, a trolley assembly including a slider block associated with the support frame and adapted for reciprocal movement along a guide rail in a predetermined path, a pair of grippers attached to the trolley, and a controller adapted to coordinately control movement of the trolley assembly and actuation of the gripper, and supply of the setting material to the upper and lower applicator nozzles.When a pair of pre-creased pants are slipped over the crease blades, the lower crease blades are moved downwardly, away from the upper crease blades until the pants are pulled taut at the hems. The pants are then gripped by the grippers at the cuffs and slid in a generally horizontal direction off of the apparatus. As the pants are removed, a flowable, curable setting material, such as silicone rubber is supplied to the applicator nozzles to coat the inside surfaces of the pant legs along the creases.
