DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a garment press for clamping and heating garments such as trousers for wrinkling and creasing.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, this kind of clothing press has been configured as shown in FIG. 7 as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-215494. Hereinafter, the configuration will be described.

[0003] As shown in FIG. 7, reference numeral 1 denotes a fixed-side pressing plate which is vertically set up by a leg portion 2. Are linked. The fixed-side pressing plate 1 is provided with a heating element 5 for heating the object pressed by the movable-side pressing plate 4 and a cushion 6 for applying an appropriate pressure to the object to be pressed.
The heating element 5 is formed so as to be covered from above by the cushion 6. The cushion 6 may be provided on the inner surface side of the movable-side pressure plate 4 in some cases. Reference numeral 7 denotes a lock device for maintaining a state in which pressure is applied to the object to be pressed. The fixed-side pressure plate 1 and the movable-side pressure plate 4 are
In general, it was made of wood or resin molded plate.

[0004]

However, in such a conventional configuration, the object to be pressed is moved to a pair of fixed-side pressure plates 1.
When pressing with the movable side pressure plate 4, the object to be pressed is not visible because the pressed object is not visible, so pressing is performed without knowing the state of being held. Was. This is because the state of the object to be pressed cannot be seen when setting.

In order to solve such a problem, it is conceivable to make at least a part of one of the pressing plates transparent so that the state of the set object to be pressed can be visually recognized. In this case, since the other pressing plate is provided with a heating element and a cushion so as to cover the heating element, there is a problem that heat conduction to the object to be pressed is deteriorated, and the finishing effect by the press is deteriorated.

[0006] Further, due to the difference in the thickness of the material to be pressed or the like, the pressing force becomes non-uniform, causing small wrinkles. Accumulates in the water, there is no escape for that water,
In the case where the material of the object to be pressed is a hair fiber, in particular, the fiber expands and contracts in the vertical direction due to the hygral expansion behavior, which causes fine wrinkles.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, and provides a garment press capable of preventing a setting error by allowing the state of an object to be pressed when set to be visually recognized and obtaining a good finish. The first purpose is to do so. It is a second object of the present invention to remove unnecessary moisture at the time of pressing and to prevent the occurrence of fine wrinkles on an object to be pressed.

[0008]

According to the present invention, in order to achieve the first object, a cushion body having a heating element is provided on one inner side of a pair of pressure plates for pressing clothes, and the other is provided with a cushion body. A part or the whole of the pressing plate is formed of a transparent body, and the heating element is disposed on the pressing surface side of the cushion body.

Thus, the setting state of the object to be pressed can be visually recognized, and a setting error can be prevented.
The object to be pressed can be heated properly and finished well.

Further, in order to achieve the second object, the present invention provides a moisture absorber between a pair of pressure plates.

[0011] Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the generation of fine wrinkles in the object to be pressed by absorbing the moisture generated by heating the water contained in the object to be pressed.

[0012]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The invention according to claim 1 of the present invention is characterized in that a pair of pressing plates for pressing clothing, a hinge device for connecting one end of the pressing plate rotatably, and the pressing plate are provided. A lock device for holding the clothes or the like in a pressed state, a cushion body having a heating element provided on one inner surface side of the pressure plate, and a part or the whole of the other pressure plate formed of a transparent body In addition, the heating element is arranged on the pressing surface side of the cushion body, and the set state when the object to be pressed is pressed by the pair of pressing plates can be visually recognized, and the setting mistake can be prevented. The object to be pressed can be accurately heated, and the cushion disposed under the heating element is compressed so as to absorb the thickness of the overlapping portion of the cloth of the object to be pressed, thereby finishing the object to be pressed well. be able to.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect of the present invention, a heat equalizing body covered with a resin film is provided on the pressing surface side of the heating element. Thereby, the object to be pressed can be uniformly and efficiently heated.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the first or second aspect of the present invention, the heat equalizing element and the heat generating element are integrally formed and arranged on the pressing surface side of the cushion body.
The cost can be reduced by reducing the number of parts.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a state in which a pair of pressure plates for pressing clothes, a hinge device for rotatably connecting one end of the pressure plate, and clothes or the like are pressed between the pressure plates. And a heating element for heating the clothes pressed by the pair of pressing plates, and a hygroscopic body is provided between the pair of pressing plates. In the case of textile products, the moisture content generated by heating and pressing the moisture content can be absorbed by the moisture absorbent, preventing the occurrence of fiber behavior such as Hygral expansion on the pressed object and preventing the occurrence of fine wrinkles can do.
