BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the ironing board of the present invention. The ironing board 12 in FIG.
The structure is composed of two attachment plates 16 that can be attached to and detached from the substrate 14. At least the upper surface side of the shaping plate 16 is a shaping surface 18, and it can be integrated on the substrate 14 with the shaping surface 18 facing upward.

The shaping plate 16 and the substrate 14 can be manufactured by using the same material as that of the ironing board 12 which has been conventionally used. That is, at least the upper surface side of the shaping plate 16 serves as the shaping surface 18 when used for ironing. The shaping surface 18 is required to be flat and have hardness (elasticity and the like) suitable for ironing, heat resistance, and the like. Therefore, it is formed of a material having heat resistance. The other parts may be made of any material that can retain its shape. Specifically, the substrate 14 and the shaping plate 16 are formed of a board made of plastic, wood, etc., and the shaping surface 1
It is possible to use a heat-resistant sheet of 8 or a sheet covered with cloth or the like.

Further, the size of the ironing board 12 of the present invention
The thickness can be the same as the size and thickness of a conventionally used ironing board in a state where the substrate 14 and the shaping plate 16 are integrated. The thickness of each of the substrate 14 and the shaped plate 16 may be, for example, approximately ½ when integrated.

In the present invention, when one or a plurality of shaping plates 16 are integrated with the substrate 14, the shaping surface 18 has a flat shape similar to that of a conventional ironing board. it can. That is, it can be used like a conventional ironing board. Further, when the shaped plate 16 is separated from the substrate 14, the shaped plate 16 can be inserted into the inside of the sleeve, the tubular portion of the pressed object such as the crotch of the pants, or the like. Therefore, it can be used when ironing the details with the shaped plate 16 inserted in the object to be pressed.

The shaped plate 16 is a plurality of shaped plates smaller than the substrate 14 for facilitating ironing of details. As shown in FIG. 2, the shaped plate 16 can have various shapes depending on the application of ironing. For example, as shown in FIG. 2 (a), the shaped plate 16a having an acute angle portion.
By doing so, the darts portion and the like can be partially supported, and ironing of details can be performed without pressing wrinkles. Further, as shown in FIG. 2B, if the circular shaped plate 16b is used, ironing can be suitably carried out by inserting it into the inside of a hat or around the neck. In addition, the shape of the attachment plate 16 is arbitrary such as a polygon such as a triangle, a quadrangle, and a pentagon, a circle, an ellipse, and a combination thereof.

Although FIG. 2 (a) shows a single-piece shaped plate 16, as shown in FIGS. 2 (b) and 2 (c), a plurality of shaped plates 16 are used and the shapes of the shaped plates are different from each other. It is desirable to be different. By using a plurality of shaped plates and changing their shapes, it is possible to select the shaped plates according to the shape of the object to be pressed, and the usage is increased.

When ironing the sleeves of the shirt and the inseam of the pants, as shown in FIG. 2 (c) and FIG.
It is desirable to use the trapezoidal shaped plate 16c. For example,
FIG. 1 shows two trapezoidal shaped plates 1 of different sizes.
6c and 16c. These shaped plates 16 have a shape obtained by diagonally dividing a rectangular plate and can be inserted into the sleeve or the crotch of pants. Since the sizes are different from each other, the shaped plate 16 can be appropriately selected according to the size of the pressed object, inserted into the pressed object, and ironed.

When the shape-imparting plate 16 is inserted into an object to be pressed, ironing can be performed as a single piece of cloth, not in a state where two sheets are overlapped, even in a cylindrical portion. Therefore, the other cloth does not have press wrinkles. Also,
Even if the pressed object is not arranged and arranged on the work surface, it is possible to insert the shaped plate 16 into the pressed object, and the arrangement is just right for ironing. There is no.

The substrate 14 is provided with a holding means for holding the shaped plate 16. As the holding means, the shaped plate 16 can be integrated with the substrate 14,
It is sufficient that the shaped plate 16 and the substrate 14 do not separate from each other when used for ironing and can be used in the same manner as a conventional ironing board. Specifically, the substrate 14 and the attachment plate 16 can be fixed by magnetic force, or can be fixed by using a surface fastener or the like, but it is particularly preferable to use the following means shown in FIG.

That is, the convex edge frame 20 is formed on the substrate 14, and the auxiliary plate 16 can be fitted to the convex edge frame 20 in a friction holding state. By taking the above configuration,
When using the integrated plate 16 and the substrate 14 in an integrated manner,
Although it is difficult to detach the shaped plate 16 from the substrate 14,
It becomes easy to attach and detach the attachment plate 16 and the substrate 14. In addition, the structure is simple, which is desirable from the viewpoint of manufacturing an ironing board.

The above structure is a structure that can be incorporated like a puzzle. In the assembled state, between the shaped plates 16,
Alternatively, a friction holding force is applied between the shaped plate 16 and the convex edge frame 20, and the substrate 14 and the shaped plate 16 are integrated by the friction force. Therefore, when the ironing board 12 is not used, it can be stored upright. When the substrate 14 and the shaped plate 16 are separated, the shaped plate 16 may be removed from the substrate 14 by applying a force greater than the friction holding force.

The shape-imparting plate 16 is the convex edge frame 2 of the substrate 14.
It is difficult to separate the shaped plate 16 from the base plate 14 when it is fitted in 0 with no gap and is firmly held by friction. Therefore, the following configuration is desirable.

In order to allow the shaped plate 16 to be separated from the substrate 14 more easily, the convex edge frame 20 is provided with a notch 22a for separating the shaped plate 16 from the substrate 14 as shown in FIG. The configuration. By providing the cutout portion 22a, the shaped plate 16 can be removed from the substrate 14 by hooking a finger on the cutout portion 22a without applying excessive force.

Incidentally, the notch is formed by the shaped plate 16 as shown in FIG.
It may be provided on the side (22b), or may be provided on both the shaping plate 16 and the convex edge frame 20 (see FIG. 4).

In addition to the cutouts 22a and 22b, the substrate 14 may be provided with a through hole 24 for separating the shaped plate 16 from the substrate 14. By providing the through hole 24 in the substrate 14, the shaped plate 16 can be easily separated from the substrate 14 by inserting a finger into the through hole 24 from the back surface side of the substrate 14.

The number and size of the notches 22a, 22b and the through holes 24 are not particularly limited as long as the shaped plate 16 can be separated from the substrate 14, and can be set as required. However, when the cutout portion 22b is provided in the shape-added plate 16, the number and size are set so as not to interfere with the ironing work.

It is desirable that both sides of the shaped plate 16 are shaped faces 18 because the usage form in ironing work is further increased. That is, at the time of use, one side can be inserted into the sleeve and ironed on one side, and then the clothes can be reversed and ironed on the back side. Since both sides of the shaped plate 16 can be used, the same shaped plate 16 can be used without distinction between the left side and the right side of clothes or the like.

Further, in the above-mentioned structure, when the back side of the substrate 14 is the working surface, the substrate 14 can be turned over and the object to be pressed can be ironed by using the shaping plate 16 thereon. The usage is increased. The work surface may be formed of the same material as the shaping surface 18.

As described above, when the back surface side of the substrate 14 is used as the work surface, the through holes 24 need to be set to a number and a size that do not hinder the ironing work.

The mode of use when ironing using the ironing board 12 of the present invention will be described below.

FIG. 5 (a) is a view showing a mode of use when ironing the shirt 26a using the ironing board shown in FIG. 2 (c), and FIG. 5 (b) is an ironing board shown in FIG. It is a usage-mode figure at the time of ironing pants 26b using 12.

First, the shaped plate 16 and the substrate 14 are separated,
The shaped plate 16 is inserted into the pressed object 26 to be ironed. That is, in the case of FIG. 5 (a), from the shoulder to the sleeve of the shirt 26a, in the case of FIG. 5 (b), the shaping plate 16 is placed on the crotch portion of the pants 26b with the shaping surface 18 facing upward. insert.

An object to be pressed 26 in which the shaped plate 16 is inserted
Is placed on the substrate 14 with the back side facing upward, if necessary, and ironed. At this time, even if the portion to be ironed is in the shape of a bag, ironing can be performed with a single cloth. Therefore, as compared with the conventional ironing in which two sheets are stacked, press-wrinkling due to the iron does not occur on the cloth on the back side, and ironing can be performed cleanly.

If both sides of the shaping plate 16 are shaped surfaces, the pressed object 2 on which the front side ironing is finished
The back side can be ironed by reversing 6 with the shaped plate 16 still inserted. Therefore, when performing the ironing on the back side, the ironing can be efficiently performed as compared with the conventional method in which the pressed object 26 has to be arranged and arranged again on the ironing board 12.

When ironing a portion other than the above, for example, a large portion such as the front and rear bodies, the shaped plate 16 is detached from the object to be pressed 26 and integrated with the substrate 14, or Alternatively, when the back side of the board 14 is the work surface, the back side of the board 14 may be faced upward and ironing may be performed in the same manner as a conventional ironing board.

Further, by using the ironing board of the present invention, it is possible to use the ironing board of the present invention even in a portion where ironing has conventionally been difficult, such as a cuff opening of a jacket or overcoat.
Ironing can be performed efficiently.

[0042]

As described above, in the ironing board of the present invention, one or a plurality of shaped plates can be attached to and detached from the substrate, so that the shaped plate is integrated with the substrate. So, not only can it be used like a conventional ironing board, but it can also be used with the shaped plate detached from the board, inserted inside the sleeve, in the crotch of the pants, etc. The usage pattern of is further improved.

Further, by making the shapes of the plurality of shaped plates different from each other, it becomes possible to select the shaped plates according to the shape of the object to be pressed.

When the convex edge frame is formed on the substrate and the shaped plate is fitted in the convex edge frame in a friction holding state, when the shaped plate and the substrate are integrated and used. In addition, although the shaped plate is difficult to separate from the substrate due to the friction holding force,
It is possible to easily attach and detach the attached plate and the substrate.

Further, by providing the substrate with a through hole for separating the shaped plate from the substrate, the shaped plate can be easily separated from the substrate.

Further, by providing the substrate and / or the shaping plate with a notch for separating the shaping plate from the substrate, the shaping plate can be similarly easily separated from the substrate.

Since both sides of the shaping plate are shaped surfaces, when used, they are inserted into a sleeve and ironed on one side, and then the clothes are turned over and ironed on the back side. It is possible to increase the mode of use.

Furthermore, since the back side of the substrate is the work surface, the substrate can be turned over and ironing can be performed on the substrate by using the shaped plate, which increases the usage.
