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 clothes such as trousers to stretch and wrinkle wrinkles.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, this type of clothes press has been configured as shown in FIG. In the figure, a heating element (not shown) is provided on the pressing surface side of the fixing plate 1, and the surface thereof is
It is covered with. A cushion 4 is provided on the pressing surface side of the movable plate 3 provided opposite to the fixed plate 1, and the lower end of the fixed plate 1 and the movable plate 3 are rotatably connected by a hinge device 5, and the movable plate 3 is movable with the fixed plate 1. This is a configuration in which a lock device 6 for holding the plate 3 in a closed state is provided, and clothing such as pants is sandwiched between the fixed plate 1 and the movable plate 3 to perform heating press.

[0003]

In such a configuration, the state of the clothes or the like sandwiched between the fixed plate 1 and the movable plate 3 is not known until the press is completed, so that the clothes are set first. The present inventors have proposed that the movable plate 3 which is generally made of wood such as plywood be made of glass or transparent resin so that the set state can be visually recognized from the outside. Have been considered.

However, simply making the entire surface of the movable plate 3 transparent only allows the outer cloth 2 provided on the press surface side of the fixed plate 1 to be seen through from the outside. There was a problem that it was not understood that it was composed of a transparent body. When the movable plate 3 is made of a transparent material, external light passes through the transparent material, so that the outer cloth 2 provided on the press surface of the fixed plate 1 is affected by ultraviolet rays or the like.
And the like.

[0005] The present invention solves the above problems,
A first object is to let a user know at a glance that a movable plate for clamping clothes or the like with a fixed plate is formed of a transparent body. The second purpose is to eliminate the adverse effects of ultraviolet rays and the like.
