Figs. 1 and 2 show elevation and plan respectively of a simple trousers press, A A being two flat boards 14 in. wide and about 30 in. long. Three iron bars B are screwed on each board. The bars on the top board are hooked at their extremities, as shown in Fig. 2, to allow the board to be removed without taking off the wing nuts. In Fig. 2 the wing-nuts are removed so as to show the slots. The bars on the under board are not hooked, but have holes at their extremities to receive coach bolts, which should be fixed with screw-nuts before the bars are fastened to the board. When the bars are fastened to the boards, the top board can be screwed down with wing-nuts. A sheet of thick cardboard should be placed between each pair of trousers before pressing them.
