Abstract: A trouser press has a pair of similar elongated boards each having a pair of generally parallel, vertical, and longitudinal edges and upper and lower transverse edges bridging same and a heating plate similar to and between the boards and having respective such longitudinal and transverse edges. The plate and normally the boards also are formed at the respective upper edges with cutouts so that a pair of trousers can be positioned with one trouser leg on one side of the plate, one trouser leg on the other, the trouser waistband generally at the upper edges, and the trouser crotch at the cutout. Hinges attach the boards and plate together in registration with the heating plate sandwiched between the boards for pivoting of each of the boards relative to the plate. Grippers are provided at the upper edges for securing the trouser waistband in the press and clips are provided generally at the lower edges for securing the trouser legs in the press.
