<p>The apparatus includes upwardly curved lower cuff irons (3) on either side of an upwardly curved lower collar iron (2) and an upper iron (4) with complementarily curved downwardly displaceable intermediate iron members (9, 10). At each side of each lower iron (2,3) a stretching mechanism (20) is provided comprising a gripping tool (21) having holding pieces (24a) and a drive mechanism (22) for stretching a pre-heated collar (5) or cuff (6) over the collar iron (2) or a cuff iron (3) respectively. During stretching, ends of the collar or cuff are moved obliquely downward in a direction aligned with that of edge regions of the relevant lower iron (2, 3). The stretching mechanism for each complementary upper and lower iron may comprise centrally positioned main body members between which the collar (5) or cuff (6) is pressed and upper and lower outwardly movable members on each side of the main body members between which end portions of the collar and cuffs can be gripped. <IMAGE></p> |
