2. Description of the Related Art A conventional trouser press 1 will be described below. FIG. 8: is a figure which shows schematic structure of the external appearance of the conventional pants presser 1. As shown in FIG. The trouser press 1 is mainly composed of a lid body 2 and a main body 3. A heater 13 is installed in the main body 3, and the press surface 5 is heated by operating the heater 13. The heater 13 is controlled by the press lamp 6, the set button 7, and the switch 8 provided on the main body 3.

A press sheet 4 is provided between the lid body 2 and the main body 3. Press sheet 4 is made of vinyl chloride,
This not only prevents the heat generated by the heater 13 from radiating naturally, but also serves to keep the pressed surface 15 in contact with the pressed object in a flat state. A cushion 11 made of urethane foam is attached to the lid body 2 so that the press sheet 4 is closely attached to the object to be pressed without a gap. The cushion 11 is formed with a recess 11a at its end, and when the trousers are sandwiched between the main body 3 and the lid body 2, the trousers allow the thick portion near the waist of the pants to escape. A mesh 12 that covers the cushion 11 is stretched on the surface of the cushion 11.

However, the trouser press 1 is designed only to make a crease on the trousers, and is unsuitable for use in other than trousers. For example, a tie is apt to wrinkle when wet with water, and this tendency is remarkable especially in the case of 100% silk. It is possible to iron the tie, but it is technically difficult because the tie is usually biased and the shape of the tie is broken when ironed. In such a case, if the tie is shaped with a trouser press, the press is too strong, and the proper amount of tie is lost, or there is a problem that wrinkles are formed.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a trouser press that can be used for shaping other than pants such as a tie.
