ABSTRACT:
A vertical-type clothes press, in which clothes such as pants or the like held between a fixed board and a movable board can be pressed for smoothing or creasing, includes a mount base, a fixed board vertically mounted thereon and having a heater, a movable board having a hollow structure for hot-pressing clothes held between itself and the fixed board, a hinge mechanism which rotatably connects the lower ends of the fixed board and the movable board and mounts the movable board openably and closably on the fixed board opposite to each other, a lock mechanism for holding the movable board against the fixed board, a press sheet having one end attached to the connection between the fixed board and the movable board and rotatably provided between the movable board and the fixed board, reinforcements provided along the side end faces of the press sheet in a vertical direction, and a bias device provided on the opposite side of the hinge mechanism for pulling clothes or the like held between the fixed board and the movable board in a direction away from the hinge mechanism. A shift of the centroid becomes small when the movable board is open. Thus, the fixed board can be stably installed in a vertical direction, and a shift in position for the clothes to be pressed is prevented. Further, an operation for putting the clothes in order becomes easy and the clothes are equally smoothed and pressed.
