Problems solved by technology

[0005] Although these kits have provided some benefits over the all-in-one device, they are still inconvenient to use because the new garment must be cleaned before the next wrinkle removal operation can be placed on the inflatable object. Remove wrinkled clothing from inflatable objects
At the same time the material of the inflatable objects is still quite expensive

Embodiment

[0055] The inflatable object in the form of a shirt was sewn using a hot needle apertured film of a 60% polypropylene / 40% ethylene vinyl acetate coextruded nonwoven from Clopay (product code DH 245). Insert protrusions to achieve 0.5, 1.7, 2.4 and 6.7 cfm (cubic feet per minute). An inexpensive hook is inserted to facilitate hanging the inflatable object, which has an opening in the bottom for inflation. To obtain wrinkle-removing properties, a shirt is hung from the inflatable body and the sleeves of the inflatable body are inserted into the shirt. The shirts were pre-wetted by passing them through a sprayer. Button the top button of the shirt. In its simplest implementation, the inflatable object is connected to a low-noise fan RVK 100-125 from Systemair. Stretch the bottom of the shirt with clips that can be attached to the bottom of the inflatable object. After inflating for 15 minutes, the front of the shirt was dewrinkled on a 1 wrinkle scale as described in the stan...

Abstract

An inflatable body (1) for de-wrinkling garments comprising an air inlet opening (2), wherein the inflatable body comprises a nonwoven substrate having an air permeability o from 0.005 m3 / m2 / min to 30 m3 / m2 / min, a kit for dewrinkling comprising the inflatable bod (1), and a method of dewrinkling garments.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention relates to inflatable objects and kits for dewrinkling clothing. Background of the invention [0002] Apparatus for de-wrinkling clothing using inflatable objects and blowing means are well known in the art. [0003] One type is an all-in-one device. The unit is a self-contained unit in which the inflatable body and blower are integrated into a single unit. These devices are relatively expensive and often take up a lot of space. Typically, only one inflatable object is provided, which can only fit one particular type of clothing, such as a shirt. When the de-wrinkling of the garment is completed, it must be removed from the inflatable body in order to place a new garment on the inflatable body for the next de-wrinkle operation. Examples of such all-in-one devices are described in US 6,834,441 , US 2004 / 0245296 and US 2005 / 0067442 (all assigned to BSH Bosch und Siemens Hausgerate GmbH). [0004] Another type is a kit compri...
