Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a garment pressing machine for wrinkling and creasing clothes and the like.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a garment pressing machine having a timer of this type generally has a structure as shown in FIG.

That is, the heater 2 wired in series with the power source 1 and the thermostat 3 for controlling the temperature of the heater 2.
The mechanical timer 4 is a manual type, and when the heater 2 is energized, the mechanical timer 4 sets the time.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION However, with the above-mentioned conventional configuration, when it is desired to stop energizing the heater on the way before the timer time comes, the power outlet must be unplugged, and the operability is very poor. There was a flaw.

Therefore, the present invention solves the poor operability as described above,
The purpose is to provide a simple and easy-to-use clothing press.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a fixed plate and a movable plate which are provided with a heater on at least one side to heat clothes and the like under pressure, and a temperature control means for controlling the temperature of the heater. When,
It comprises a relay provided in the circuit of the heater and a timer device constituted by an electronic circuit for controlling the relay, the timer device controlling a relay drive circuit for driving the relay and the relay drive circuit. A timer circuit and a switch provided in the timer circuit are provided, and the switch is used to start and stop the timer circuit.

With the above configuration, the clothing press of the present invention can be operated by simply pressing the same switch for starting and forcibly ending energization of the heater.

That is, by pressing the switch, the timer device is activated to start energizing the heater, and also when the energization of the heater is forcibly stopped before the time set by the timer device elapses. You can do it by simply pressing the switch, and you can easily operate it without disconnecting the outlet.

Embodiment One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In FIGS. 1 to 3, 11 is a movable plate and 12 is a heater.
A fixed plate that is provided with 13 and presses and heats clothes with the movable plate 11, 14 is a hinge body that rotatably connects the movable plate 11 and the fixed plate 12, and 15 is a switch that controls the timer device 16. For starting the energization of the heater 13, forcibly ending and restarting, the timer device 16 is composed of an electronic circuit, a timer circuit 17, and a switch 15 for controlling the timer circuit 17,
It has a relay drive circuit 18 and a relay contact 19 which interlock with the timer circuit 17 to control the energization of the heater 13. A thermostat 20 controls the temperature of the heater 13.

Next, the operation of the configuration of this embodiment will be described. First, when the switch 15 is pushed, the timer device 16 operates, the energization of the heater 13 is started, and the thermostat 20 adjusts the temperature to a predetermined temperature. Then, the timer device 16
When the time set by is passed, the power supply to the heater 13 is automatically cut off. If it is desired to stop energizing the heater 13 before the set time has elapsed, the timer device 16 is reset by pressing the switch 15 that starts energizing the heater 13 again, and the heater is energized. Will stop.

In this embodiment, the relay is used to open and close the heater,
A semiconductor element may be used.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION As described above, the clothing press of the present invention is provided with a heater on at least one side, a fixed plate and a movable plate for pinching and heating clothes and the like, and temperature control means for controlling the temperature of the heater,
It comprises a relay provided in the circuit of the heater and a timer device constituted by an electronic circuit for controlling the relay, the timer device controlling a relay drive circuit for driving the relay and the relay drive circuit. By having a timer circuit and a switch provided in this timer circuit, and by using this switch to start and stop the timer circuit, the energization of the heater is cut off by the timer device when a preset time elapses. With a switch that can be safely used and starts energizing the heater,
It is possible to easily forcibly terminate the energization of the heater, and to realize a convenient clothes press machine with excellent operability.
