DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

(13) A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described next on the basis of the accompanying drawings.

(14) As shown in FIG. 1 and the like, a lower buck 1 of the present invention includes a body part 2 with an upper surface to receive a pressing pressure formed into a convex curve shape.

(15) In the present invention, a cushion member 3 for easing the pressing pressure is overlaid on the upper surface of the body part 2. The cushion member 3 is formed into a plate-like shape using a resin material such as silicon sponge or silicon rubber, for example. A surface of the cushion member 3 contacting the upper surface of the body part 2 is formed into an uneven shape and is provided with a large number of neatly arranged thin holes 3a penetrating the cushion member 3 in a thickness direction.

(16) The body part 2 is vertically divided to include an upper section 2a and a lower section 2b. The cushion member 3 includes an upper cushion member 3A covering an upper surface of the upper section 2a and a lower cushion member 3B covering an upper surface of the lower section 2b.

(17) In the present invention, the upper cushion member 3A and the lower cushion member 3B are covered with a cushioning sheet member 4. The sheet member 4 is made of air-permeable cloth, for example, and includes attachment means 5 for attachment to the body part 2.

(18) The attachment means 5 of the present embodiment is tongue-shaped cloth. This cloth is provided with holes 5a for fitting to attachment sites 6 of the body part 2. As shown in FIG. 4 and the like, the cloth as the attachment means 5 is sewed on the sheet member 4 at the front and back of a center position of the sheet member 4 as viewed in a right-left direction.

(19) A sign 7 (see FIGS. 1, 12 and the like) is a cloth strip covering the attachment sites 6. The cloth strip 7 is arranged external to the cloth as the attachment means 5 and is sewed together with the cloth on the sheet member 4.

(20) As shown in FIG. 9, the attachment sites 6 of the present embodiment are each formed like a projection using a screw 6a. The screw 6a is attached through a spacer 6c to a metal plate 6b fixed to a side surface of the upper section 2a of the body part 2. The attachment sites 6 are provided on each of front and back side surfaces of the upper section 2a of the body part 2. In the present embodiment, the screws 6a as the attachment sites 6 are provided one by one at each of right and left positions on each of these side surfaces. Thus, in response to these attachment sites 6, the holes 5a are provided one by one at each of right and left positions of the tongue-shaped cloth as the attachment means 5.

(21) The sheet member 4 has a back side where the upper cushion member 3A is provided. A sign 8 is a band strip for clamping the upper cushion member 3A. The band strip 8 is stretched between front and back side edges of the sheet member 4 and sewed on the sheet member 4. As shown in FIG. 6 and the like, the upper cushion member 3A is inserted between the band strip 8 and the back surface of the sheet member 4 and is clamped to the sheet member 4 using the band strip 8.

(22) As shown in FIG. 1 and the like, the sheet member 4 is folded at each of its right and left sides corresponding to the lower cushion member 3B to be formed into a bag-like section 4a. In the sheet member 4, a buffer member 9 to be overlaid on the lower cushion member 3B is stored in the bag-like section 4a. The buffer member 9 of the present embodiment is made of flannel.

(23) In the present embodiment, the upper cushion member 3A and the lower cushion member 3B are made of the same material and formed into the same thickness. A sign 10 (see FIG. 3 and the like) is a second buffer member provided between the back surface of the sheet member 4 and the upper cushion member 3A. Like the buffer member 9, the second buffer member 10 is made of flannel and is formed into a sheet-like shape, and has the same thickness as the buffer member 9. The second buffer member 10 of the present embodiment is formed into a slightly larger size than the upper cushion member 3A.

(24) As shown in FIG. 1 and the like, the upper cushion member 3A is overlaid on the second buffer member 10 and is clamped together with the second buffer member 10 to the sheet member 4 using the band strip 8.

(25) The lower buck 1 of the present invention is coated with the sheet member 4 placed on the upper surface of the body part 2 and is covered with a cover 11 through the sheet member 4 (see FIG. 13 and the like). The cover 11 is made of air-permeable cloth and is folded at its periphery to be formed into a tubular eyelet section 11a. The cover 11 is configured to be mountable to the body part 2 by passing a string 12 through the eyelet section 11a and tying both ends of the string 12. The cover 11 is preferably attached to the body part 2 under tension so as not to cause a crease in a surface of the cover 11.

(26) The following describes the operation of mounting the sheet member 4.

(27) First, as shown in FIGS. 1, 10 and the like, an operator mounts the sheet member 4 by overlaying the sheet member 4 on the upper surface of the body part 2. More specifically, with the lower cushion member 3B mounted on the lower section 2b of the body part 2, the operator places the upper cushion member 3A on the upper section 2a of the body part 2 and puts the sheet member 4 over the upper cushion member 3A.

(28) Next, the operator pulls the cloth as the attachment means 5 and then fits the holes 5a to the attachment sites 6 as shown in FIG. 11. The operator performs this operation on each of the front and back of the body part 2. Then, the operator hangs the cloth strip 7 and covers the attachment sites 6 with the cloth strip 7 (see FIG. 12).

(29) Next, the operator puts the cover 11 over the sheet member 4 and covers the body part 2 with the cover 11 (see FIG. 13). Then, the operator fastens the cover 11 to the body part 2 securely using the string 12 (see FIG. 14). As shown in FIG. 2, the operator thereafter places cuffs 13a of a shirt 13 over the lower buck 1 and moves down an upper buck 14, thereby press-finishing the cuffs 13a.

(30) As described above, the present invention makes it possible to mount the cover 11 on the body part 2 while the sheet member 4 is fixed to the body part 2 using the attachment means 5. By doing so, even if the upper cushion member 3A is unintentionally touched during attachment or removal of the cover 11, it is still possible to prevent misalignment or drop of the upper cushion member 3A.

(31) In the present embodiment, the upper cushion member 3A is clamped to the sheet member 4 using the band strip 8. This allows the upper cushion member 3A to be attached to and removed from the sheet member 4 simply and speedily, thereby facilitating operation of changing the upper cushion member 3A.

(32) While the sheet member 4 of the foregoing example includes the buffer member 9 and the second buffer member 10 as described above, the present invention is not limited to this. Specifically, in the present invention, the sheet member 4 may be formed of a single cushion material, for example.
