2. Description of the Related Art Today, in the finishing process of cleaning,
A three-dimensional orthopedic dryer is used. This three-dimensional orthopedic dryer includes a dummy former that supports clothes such as dresses and jackets in a clothes state, and a blower that blows hot air, steam, and the like from below to the clothes supported by the dummy former. ing. To be more specific, usually, the dummy former is covered with a bag-shaped body, clothes are put on it, and then the blower at the bottom is operated to blow hot air or steam from inside the dummy former to the clothes through the body. To send the clothes, shape the clothes, and dry the clothes if necessary. Then, as an improvement of this type of shaping dryer, the applicant of the present application has proposed a hood device that can be used in this shaping dryer (Actual Publication No. 3-30996). This hood device has an open hood at the lower end that covers the outer circumference of the dummy former, and is equipped with an exhaust device such as a blower at the upper part, and the hot air and steam sent by the blower at the lower part is exhausted to the outside of the work room by this exhaust device. To prevent the work environment from deteriorating.

[0003]

However, in this type of conventional shaping dryer, hot air or steam is sent from the inside of the dummy former to the clothes through the wind body by operating the blower at the bottom. That is, the blower at the bottom is operated to send hot air or steam from inside the wind body of the dummy former to the clothes.At the beginning of use, the wind body first swells due to the hot air or steam of the blower, and the swelling receives the swelling. Will be closer to the clothes. Therefore, there is no gap between the wind body and the clothes, the air flow between the wind body and the clothes may be poor, and when the clothes are forced to spread by the wind body and unexpected wrinkles occur. There is. Further, the above-mentioned hood device does not simply solve the above-mentioned problem by merely processing the hot air or steam sent by the blower, and further operates two devices, the blower and the exhaust device. The need arises. Furthermore, at the start of use,
It is preferable for better cleaning work to check whether the clothes are well supported by the dummy former, not only from the front but also from other directions, but for that purpose, the worker does not have to do so. Not only in front of, but also at least to the side to check. However, in the current situation, if you are busy, you can skip this and check from the front only.
