DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vertical garment pressing machine which stretches wrinkles and folds by arranging and clamping clothes between a fixed plate and a movable plate.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Heretofore, this type of vertical garment press has been configured as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, for example. That is, a fixed plate 3 erected on the base 1 and provided with a heater 2 on the surface, and rotatably connected to the fixed plate 3 via a hinge mechanism 4 provided at the lower end of the fixed plate 3. Further, a movable plate 6 having a cushion 5 on the inner surface is provided, and clamping heating is performed with clothing such as pants A between the fixed plate 3 and the movable plate 6.

The movable plate 6 has one end rotatably supported by the fixed plate 3 and the other end engaged by a lever shaft 8 engaged with a lever receiver 7 provided on the movable plate 6. 6 is pressed against the fixed plate 3 so that a clamping force is applied between the fixed plate 3 and the movable plate 6.

[0004]

However, in such a configuration, when setting clothes on the press, it is necessary to rotate the movable plate 6 in a direction away from the fixed plate 3 to open it. In particular, when the movable plate 6 is opened, the center of gravity largely moves to the rotation side, and there is a problem that the fixed plate 3 that is erected becomes unstable and easily falls down.

That is, when the movable plate 6 is opened, the whole center of gravity moves in the opening direction, and in order to maintain a stable standing state, the standing base must be large including the movement of the center of gravity. I had to.

[0006] As a result, the base is inevitably increased in size, requiring a large installation space, and in addition to injuring the foot by hitting or catching on the base. , When I was standing in front of the press and working on it.

[0007] In addition, since the garment is adjusted to its shape by the movable plate 6 which is opened by being inclined forward, a force acts on the movable plate 6 in the opened state to further open the fixed plate 3.
In order to stably erection, the base was larger.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a clothes press which can stably stand by reducing the movement of the center of gravity when the movable plate is opened.

[0009]

Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention for achieving the above object includes a fixed plate and a movable plate to clamp heating the clothes and the like by providing a heater in one and less, before Symbol fixed plate And a hinge mechanism for rotatably connecting the lower end of the movable plate to the fixed plate and supporting the movable plate openably and closably opposite the fixed plate, and a locking device for holding the movable plate pressed against the fixed plate. And fixing the lower end of the fixing plate.
The movable plate is projected from the fixed portion in the rotation direction of the movable plate.
And a base on which a fixed plate is erected.
It is constituted by a hollow structure formed so as to support a pressurizing surface with a cylindrical body .

[0010]

With the above construction, the clothes press of the present invention can reduce the weight of the movable plate and the movement of the center of gravity when the movable plate is opened. As a result, the size of the erecting base can be reduced and stable erecting can be obtained. Therefore, the protrusion of the base toward the near side is reduced, so that it does not become a hindrance at the time of use, and the installation can be safely performed in a small space without hitting a foot during installation.

Further, since the mass of the movable plate can be reduced and the impact force at the time of opening and closing can be reduced, the strength setting of the connecting portion and the stopper portion can be reduced. Parts can be made at low cost.

[0012]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 to 3, reference numeral 11 denotes a fixed plate made of plywood or the like, and a heater 13 whose surface is covered with a heater cover 12 is provided on the inner surface thereof. Reference numeral 14 denotes a movable plate 17 having a plurality of cylindrical bodies 16 formed of a hollow structure rotatably connected to a lower end of the fixed plate 11 by a hinge mechanism 15.

The numeral 18 indicates that the lower end of the fixing plate 11 is fixed.
Both project in the direction of rotation of the movable plate 17 from the fixed portion
A base 19 on which the fixed plate 11 is erected is a pressurizing member provided on the inner surface side of the movable plate 17. A cushion body 20 made of foamed polyurethane or the like, and a flexible body covering the cushion body 20 are provided. And a sheet 21 having a high surface hardness, and its surface is covered with a cover 22.

A lock device 23 has one end rotatably connected to a fulcrum 25 provided on the fixed plate 11, and the other end is disposed above a lock receiver 26 provided on the movable plate 17. The clothes 24 arranged between the fixed plate 11 and the movable plate 17 are held in a state of being pressed. Reference numeral 27 denotes a stopper for restricting the degree of opening of the movable plate 17 to a predetermined position.
7 and the fixing plate 11 are connected.

Next, the operation of the configuration of the embodiment will be described. First, the movable plate 17 is opened in a direction away from the fixed plate 11 with the hinge mechanism 15 as a fulcrum by rotating the lock device 23 upward to release the movable plate 17. At this time, the movable plate 17 is brought into a predetermined position by the stopper 27. Regulated and held.

At this time, the movable plate 17 includes a plurality of cylindrical bodies 16.
Since it is composed of a hollow structure formed to support the pressurized surface, it has the necessary and sufficient strength without distortion and torsion due to pressurization, and greatly reduces the mass .
Because it is bets, so that less movement also opens the movable plate 17 center of gravity to the position regulated by the stopper 26, the fixing plate 11 with a small base 18 can be stably erected .

After arranging and setting the clothes 24 on the movable plate 17, the movable plate 17 is further rotated about the hinge mechanism 15 as a fulcrum and brought closer to the fixed plate 11.
The garment 2 disposed between the fixed plate 11 and the movable plate 17 by rotating the lock device 23 around a fulcrum 25 provided on the fixed plate 11.
4 is held in a pinched state.

FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the present invention, in which the hollow structure constituting the movable plate 17 is constituted by a plurality of cylindrical bodies 27 communicating with the outside. Are provided with a large number of holes 28. With this configuration, it is possible to discharge the water released from the clothing when the wet clothing is pressed, and as a result,
A wet clothes press can be performed, and the appearance of fine wrinkles due to moisture can be prevented.

The movable plate 17 is formed as a hollow structure.
The cylindrical body may be a cylindrical type, a honeycomb type, or the like in addition to the box type shown in the embodiment .

[0020]

The present invention as described above, according to the present invention includes a fixed plate and a movable plate to clamp heating the clothes and the like by providing a heater in one and less the lower end of the front Symbol fixed plate and a movable plate rotatably A hinge mechanism for connecting the movable plate to the fixed plate so as to be openable and closable, a locking device for holding the movable plate pressed against the fixed plate, and a fixed lower end of the fixed plate.
In the direction of rotation of the movable plate from the fixed part.
And a base on which the fixing plate is protruded to protrude.
The moving plate is formed to support the pressing surface with a plurality of cylindrical bodies.
Because I was composed of a hollow structure, to reduce the mass of the movable plate, it is possible to reduce the movement of the center of gravity when opening the movable plate at the time of use.

Therefore, the size of the upright base can be reduced, and the presser can be stably held upright without shaking even when the movable plate performs the work of shaping the clothes. can do.

Further, since the base is not greatly protruded to the near side due to the miniaturization of the base, the base is not obstructed at the time of use. Thus, it is possible to realize a compact and easy-to-use vertical clothing press, for example, which can be installed safely.

Further, since the mass of the movable plate can be reduced, the impact force at the time of opening and closing the movable plate can be reduced. Therefore, even when the movable plate is suddenly opened, the force applied to the hinge and the stopper portion is reduced, and the strength setting of the connecting portion and the stopper portion can be reduced. It can be made.
