Description

This invention relates to a clip-type trouser press, and more specifically, to a clip-type trouser press that is suitable for carrying when traveling and can easily remove wrinkles from trousers.

When traveling, for example, if your pants or other clothing get wrinkled, you may want to use an iron to remove the wrinkles. Some hotels and inns provide irons for general guest use for such occasions, but in many cases they are not.

The present invention was conceived in light of the above situation, and aims to provide a clip-type trouser press that is simple in construction, portable, and easy to use at any time.

The invention described in claim 1 to solve the above problem is a clip-type trouser press that is comprised of a pair of horizontally long clamping plates with protruding knobs on their upper edges, and a spring ring that connects the upper edges of the clamping plates and supports the opening and closing movement of the clamping plates, and is characterized in that the upper and lower parts of the pair of clamping plates are curved outward, the central part is flat, and the pair of clamping plates are in constant surface contact due to the spring pressure of the spring ring.

The invention described in claim 2 for solving the above problem is configured to include a pair of horizontally long clamping plates with knobs protruding from their upper sides, and a pair of spring rings arranged to sandwich the knobs, which connect the upper sides of the clamping plates and support the opening and closing movement of the clamping plates,
The pair of clamping plates have both left and right side portions warped outward, and the upper and lower sides warped outward, and the central portions of the opposing inner surfaces of the pair of clamping plates are flat and are in constant surface contact due to the spring pressure of the spring ring,
Furthermore, this clip-type trouser press is characterized in that a reinforcing rib is formed in the center of the outer surface of the clamping plate, consisting of one horizontal rib extending in the lengthwise direction and multiple vertical ribs perpendicular to the horizontal rib.

In one embodiment, a pivot point that supports the opening and closing movement of the clamping plate is provided on the upper portion of the clamping plate.

In one embodiment, the pivot point is composed of a receiving portion having a gap provided on one of the clamping plates, and a protruding plate provided on the other clamping plate that is slidably engaged within the gap of the receiving portion.

As described above, this invention has a simple structure and is easy to carry. If your trousers become wrinkled while traveling, you can open the clip-type trouser press and clip the wrinkled part to easily remove the wrinkles in a short time.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an example of the configuration of a pivot point in a clip-type trouser press according to the present invention; FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the use of a clip-type trouser press according to the present invention;

The embodiment for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the attached drawings. Figures 1 to 3 are respectively a front view, a plan view, and a side view showing an example of the shape of a clip-type trouser press 1 according to the present invention. As shown in these figures, the clip-type trouser press 1 comprises a pair of horizontally elongated clamping plates 2, 3 with tabs 4, 5 protruding from the upper edges, and a pair of spring rings 6, usually on the left and right, which connect the upper edges of the clamping plates 2, 3 and support the opening and closing movement of the clamping plates 2, 3. The spring rings 6 are usually attached to two points on the upper edges so as to straddle the clamping plates 2, 3.

The clamping plates 2, 3 are formed so that the central portions where they join together are flat, and the upper and lower portions are curved outward. Therefore, in the side view shown in FIG. 3, the pair of clamping plates 2, 3 are in surface contact with the flat central portions, and the upper and lower portions are open outward. The knobs 4, 5 extend from the upper edges of the outwardly curved clamping plates 2, 3, and are also open outward. Preferably, both side portions 3 of the clamping plates 2, 3 are also formed so as to curve outward. Reinforcing ribs 7 are formed on the clamping plates 2, 3 as necessary.

A pivot 8 that supports the opening and closing of the clamping plates 2 and 3 is provided on the upper part of the clamping plates 2 and 3. For example, the pivot 8 is composed of a receiving portion 9 having a gap 9a provided on one of the clamping plates 2, and a protruding plate 10 provided on the other clamping plate 3 that is engaged so as to be able to slide freely within the gap 9a of the receiving portion 9 (see Figure 5).

When using the clip-type trouser presser 1 according to the present invention, the gripping plates 2 and 3, whose flat surfaces are in close contact, are opened by pressing the tabs 4 and 5 toward each other against the spring pressure of the spring ring 6 (see Figure 4). In this state, the part of the crease of the trousers 11 to be smoothed is pinched, and then the tabs 4 and 5 are released. If the crease is left in this state for a while, it will gradually be removed as it continues to be pinched by the flat parts of the gripping plates 2 and 3, which are in surface contact due to the spring pressure of the spring ring 6.

In the case of the clip-type trouser press 1 according to the present invention, the bottom opens outward, so the operation of clamping the folded part of the trousers 11 can be performed smoothly without getting caught. In addition, if both side parts 3 of the clamping plates 2, 3 are also curved outward, the clamping operation becomes even easier. If the area of wrinkles is large, multiple clip-type trouser presses 1 can be used, as shown in Figure 6.

It goes without saying that the clip-type trouser press 1 of this invention can be used not only for trousers 11, but also for skirts, handkerchiefs, and various other items.

As described above, this invention has a simple structure, is easy to carry, and can be easily used when pants or other items become wrinkled while traveling, and has great industrial applicability.
