Textile press with ambidextrous closing system

摘要

A textile press with an ambidextrous closing system for closing and locking a press head against a buck. The textile press is configured with a pair of activators configured such that pressing and holding one of the activators causes the press head to engage the buck. Concurrently pressing the remaining of the pair of activators causes the press head to be locked in position when the press head moves into engagement with the buck. At the end of the timed pressing cycle or when a release activator is activated, the press head returns to the open position.
