DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a trouser press for pressing trousers, skirts and the like, and a cloth processing apparatus such as an ironing board.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Various odors are attached to clothes while they are being worn. Above all, pants are easy to smell of sweat and tobacco, and are hard to remove. In particular, it often smells of sweat. It is thought that the smell of sweat is caused by lower fatty acids such as isovaleric acid and ammonia, which are generated by oxidizing dirt and grime produced by sweat with bacteria. It is said that the smell of tobacco is composed of many components such as ammonia, acetaldehyde, acetic acid and nicotine.

[0003] A conventional trouser press has a heating press in which trousers are firmly sandwiched between two press plates, a plate having a built-in heater and a plate having no built-in heater and having a cushioning property inside. Then, wrinkles were automatically removed and folds were neatly formed.

[0004]

However, according to this conventional method, the odor and moisture of the trousers evaporate by being heated, but there is no escape place because the trousers are firmly pressed, and when the trousers are cooled, the trousers reappear. Attach or adhere to the inside of the press plate. In addition, there was a similar problem not only in the trouser press but also in the ironing board.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and has as its object to provide a trouser press and a cloth processing apparatus such as an ironing board, which deodorize trousers and reduce the odor of trousers that enter the room. It is assumed that.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a cloth processing apparatus in which a deodorizing sheet which can be regenerated by washing a cloth processing member is detachably provided. Particularly, the deodorized sheet contains butanetetracarboxylic acid and basic zinc carbonate, or contains a metal phthalocyanine derivative.

[0007]

According to the present invention, a deodorizing sheet is provided on the cloth processing member so as to be detachable and chemically treated, and the odor evaporating when the pants are heated is caught by the deodorizing sheet, and the pants are again removed. It does not smell or drift indoors. In particular, in this case, the odorous component that has been adsorbed as an odorless component by performing a treatment that can be used repeatedly by washing is washed away and the deodorized sheet is regenerated.

For example, when treated with a chemical containing butanetetracarboxylic acid and basic zinc carbonate, basic ammonia and amine are replaced with sodium in the detergent, and then sodium is also washed away with water. In addition, fatty acids and the like also react with basic zinc carbonate, which are also washed off with detergent or water. When treated with a chemical containing a metal phthalocyanine derivative, the malodorous component is catalytically oxidized by this and becomes an odorless substance and adheres to the deodorized sheet, so that it is easily washed off and regenerated.
