AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0008] The general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a new device and methods for effectively and efficiently ironing pants, and the like, while also providing a platform for promotional purposes. The present invention is intended to be used when pants are to be ironed manually, at a residence, a lodging establishment, such as a hotel / motel, and the like.
[0009] One objective of the present invention is to provide a device that can be used in the ironing process that decreases the time required to correctly iron pants and the like.
[0010] Another objective of the present invention is to provide a device that can be used in the ironing process that is inexpensive.

Problems solved by technology

When it is desired to efficiently and effectively create a crisp crease in said khaki pants, novice users of traditional ironing boards are frustrated in their attempts.
Since the result of this traditional method is frustration and unacceptable creases, the need exists for a device that can be used to quickly and accurately iron pants while creating acceptable creases.
While these patents and other previous methods have attempted to solve the problem of efficiently and effectively ironing pants with crisp creases, none have employed an insertable device with a handle, a visible guide for aligning with the pants leg seam, and that is disposed for advertising or promotional purposes.
Additionally, prior inventions such as the Corby® Pants Presser, do not allow for the rapid ironing of multiple pants.
