It is also possible to reduce the sound generated by slipping when the sliding plate and the pressing tool are operated without pinching the clothing, etc., without reducing the contact resistance of the contact surface of the pressing tool with the clothing. become able to.

Further, by forming at least one of the sliding plate and the pressing tool opposite to both ends of the clothes or the like sandwiched between the sliding plate and the pressing tool, the stitched portion of the pants is released, and Only the vicinity of the front and rear folds can be pulled, and the operation can be performed without being affected by the thickness of the pants.

[0022]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 to 5, reference numeral 20 denotes a fixing plate fixed to a base 21 and provided with a heater 22 on its surface.
Is a movable plate provided rotatably with respect to the fixed plate 20 by a hinge mechanism 24 and having a cushion 25 provided on an inner surface thereof. A garment such as pants B is pinched between the movable plate 23 and the fixed plate 20. Heat.

Reference numeral 26 denotes a top cover provided on the upper surface of the fixing plate 20 and including a control device (not shown) for controlling energization of the heater 22 therein; 27, operation buttons; and 28, an upper surface of the top cover 26. The cover lid 29 is a sliding plate slidably provided on both sides above the movable plate 23 in a vertical direction along the pressing surface so as to be slidable in parallel with each other .
While inclined in a direction to increase the thickness in the sliding direction, which have a plurality of protrusions 30.

Reference numeral 31 denotes a top cover 26 via a spring 32.
Is fixed at a position opposing the sliding plate 29 by a fixing hole 33 provided at the center thereof, and is turned around a fulcrum 34 of a spring 32, and is rotatably attached to the sliding plate 29 side by the spring 32. A convex portion 35 is provided on the surface facing the sliding plate 29 with a biased pressing tool.

Reference numeral 36 denotes a lever receiver fixed to the movable plate 23. Reference numeral 37 denotes a lever shaft that is supported by the fixed plate 20 and corresponds to the lever receiver 36 to apply a clamping force between the fixed plate 20 and the movable plate 23. 38, a rubber cover covering the tip of the lever shaft 37, 39 a side cover fixed to the side surface of the fixed plate 20 and covering the side surface of the fixed plate 20, 40 a back plate,
A chain 41 connects the side cover 39 and the movable plate 23 and regulates an opening angle of the movable plate 23.
A screw 3 fixes the base 21 and the side cover 39.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. First, after the movable plate 23 is opened, the pants B are arranged on the inner surface thereof, that is, the upper surface of the cushion 25, and then the movable plate 23 is arranged, and the movable plate 23 is moved closer to the fixed plate 20.
The trousers B are sandwiched between the cushion 25 and the heater 22 sequentially from the hem upward.

[0027] Then, in the clamping process of the trousers B, inclined surface including the convex portion 30 of the leading protrusion 35 and the sliding plate 29 of the pusher 31 abuts so as to sandwich the pants B. Thereafter, when the clamping process of the pants B is continued, the pressing tool 31
Rotated in the elevation direction against the, also, the sliding plate 29 is also in interlock with the rotation of the pusher 31, the upper pants B together with
Slide in parallel along the pressing surface .

Therefore, the holding of the pressure between the fixed plate 20 and the movable plate 23 can be completed in a state where the pulling force is applied to the pants B. Therefore, the press can be performed in a state where the wrinkles of the folds of the pants B are stretched, whereby a beautiful finished state can be expected.

As shown in FIG. 5, the inner surface of the sliding plate 29, that is, the pressing surface side is inclined in the direction of increasing the thickness in the sliding direction, so that the pants B are moved to the sliding plate 29 and the pressing member 31.
When the process of clamping the pants B is continued from the state of being sandwiched between the sliding plates 29, the sliding plate 29 and the pressing member 31 slip, and only the pressing member 31 rotates and the sliding plate 29 does not slide. Even when a state occurs, the distance between the sliding plate 29 and the pressing tool 31 decreases due to the inclination angle θ of the pressing action surface of the sliding plate 29 with the sliding direction of the sliding plate 29, and the contact resistance increases. Therefore, since the sliding of the sliding plate 29 and the pressing tool 31 can be stopped,
A stable upward sliding of the sliding plate 29 can be ensured, and as a result, a tensile force can be stably applied to the pants.

Further, convex portions 30 and 35 are provided on the inner surface of the slide plate 29, that is, on the pressing surface and the distal end portion of the pressing tool 31, in order to increase the contact resistance with the clothing. As shown in the figure, when both the protrusions are formed in the same direction, when the operation is performed with no load, that is, when the movable plate 23 is closed by removing the clothes or the like, the slide plate 29 and the pressing tool 31 come into direct contact. Therefore, each of the projections 30 and 3
5 are meshed with each other, resulting in a malfunction or an abnormal noise during operation.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, by providing the direction of the convex portion 30 of the sliding plate 29 at an angle to the direction of the convex portion 35 of the pressing tool 31, the clothing and the like are removed. Even if the movable plate 23 is closed by
0 and 35 will not engage.

Therefore, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of malfunctions and abnormal noises at the time of operation, and to keep the contact resistance with clothing large, without giving the user a feeling of anxiety. Can be prevented from being worn.

The sliding plate 29 is, as shown in FIG.
Since it is provided on both end surfaces on the inner surface upper part of the movable plate 23,
Since a portion thicker than the fold, such as the seam of the pants B and the chuck, is released and heated by pinching, a tensile force can be applied only to both ends of the garment. Therefore, regardless of the thickness and shape of the pants B, it is possible to perform the pressing while the wrinkles of the folds are extended.
