Since it is movable up to), the present invention can supply moisture to the clothing.

On the other hand, since the air supply unit 31 is a means for supplying low humidity and high temperature air to the first chamber 2, when the air supply unit 31 is operated, the moisture supplied to the clothes will evaporate. When the moisture supplied to the clothes evaporates, the odor particles that have accumulated on the clothes also evaporate, so that the present invention can be deodorized.

In addition, when the water supply process and the air supply process while the pressure is applied to the clothing through the presser (P), the wrinkles included in the design of the clothing is caught, wrinkles of the clothing (wrinkles not included in the design of the clothing) ) Can be expected to spread.

The presser P having the above-described structure is part of the garment is located on the seating surface 511 of the support body, the rest of the garment is located on the pressing surface 513 of the support body, the base body ( 41, the length of the support body 51, and the length of the compression body 61 is minimized, but there is an effect capable of pressing the entire clothing (C).

That is, if the presser (P) is provided to support or press only the clothing of any one of the mounting surface 511 and the pressing surface 513 provided on the support body 51, the base body 41 The length of the, the length of the support body 51, and the length of the compression body 61 is inevitably longer, the presser provided in the present invention solves the problem that the length of each body (41, 51, 61) is long. It is possible.

In addition, the presser (P) provided in the present invention is rotated toward the base body 41 around the rotation axis formed in the compression body 61 and the support body 51 along the width direction of the base body 41 Since it is possible, it is possible to solve the problem of wrinkles in the garment by the support body 51 and the compression body 61.

When the compression body 61 and the support body 51 is provided to rotate about a rotation axis formed along the height direction of the door 13, the garment when the support body 51 rotates toward the base body 41, Wrinkles may be formed in the support body and the base body. Since the distance between the support body 51 and the base body 41 is shorter as it is closer to the rotation axis, when the support body 51 is rotated to the base body 41, the clothing may be wrinkled while being pushed in the direction opposite to the rotation axis. to be. However, if the compression body 61 and the support body 51 is rotated about the rotation axis formed along the width direction of the base body 41, the above-described problem can be solved.

8 illustrates another embodiment of the presser P. In the presser P according to the present embodiment, the support body 51 has the height direction of the base body 41 (the height direction of the door). It is possible to rotate toward the direction away from the base body (41) and the direction in which the base body (41) is located about the axis of rotation parallel to). That is, the support body 51 provided in the present embodiment is fixed to the door 13 through a support hinge 75 provided along the height direction of the base body 41.

The present invention may be practiced in various forms and is not limited to the above-described embodiment. Therefore, if the modified embodiment includes the components of the claims of the present invention will be seen as belonging to the scope of the present invention.
