摘要:
A drying and pressing apparatus for items of clothing has a flexible pressing dummy which can be subjected to the action, from the inside, of an air stream generated by a fan. The apparatus has a top framework and a bottom framework. The pressing dummy has one section connected to the top framework and one section connected to the bottom framework, and it is possible for the top framework to be retracted into a retracted position in the bottom framework and extended out of the bottom framework into an extended position. A locking device is provided for locking the top framework in relation to the bottom framework. By use of an unlocking input device for unlocking the locking device, it is possible, upon actuation of the input device, to unlock the locking device for a predetermined unlocking duration. This ensures a straightforward and nevertheless reliable operating sequence of the apparatus.
