■Also, in the suction guiding mechanism 50, the suction duct 53.5
3 opens to the left and right by the telescopic rod 54 of the induction cylinder 5G, which is expanded by the switching of the solenoid valve 85, while attracting both sleeves, so that the sleeves are left on the conveying surface 11 and are removed (see Fig. 7). d)).

When the clothing A is transferred to the transport mechanism 2G through the above loading process, the clothing A is in an undisturbed shape from the collar to the hem to both sleeves, and is transported as it is by the transport mechanism 20 ( Figure 7 (e
)), it will be thrown into, for example, the mouth-luairona placed next to the machine (FIG. 7(f)).

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, in the device of the present invention, clothing such as yukatas and gowns can be hung on the hanger member that opens and opens, making it very easy to attach clothing to the preprocessing machine. This method has advantages and also contributes to improving work efficiency since the operations beyond those performed by the operator are almost unrelated to skill.

Clothes attached in this manner are shaped by a garment shaping device located below the hanger mechanism, which stretches upwards inside the garment and performs shaping by blowing out air. The present invention has a shaping effect on the entire garment from the hem to the shoulders and cuffs, and in particular, the air blowing can effectively remove the disorder of the garment.Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to shape the garment as a whole from the hem to the shoulders and cuffs. Since the clothes with the same size are shaped by just hanging them on a hanger and sent to the work process, the work efficiency is significantly improved, the quality is also improved, and the effect of stopping the work is achieved.
