Benefits of technology

[0004]The wrinkle removal system comprises a means for holding a garment in a hanging position. The means for hanging a garment may comprise a hanger, or the like, and may further comprise a shaping member for shaping a garment placed thereon. A first magnet and a second magnet are magnetically attracted together and positioned on at least a portion of the garment. The first and second magnets comprise a weight applied in connection with the force of gravity to pull upon the garment and draw wrinkles out of same. The first and second magnets may further comprise a wrinkle removing device having a flexible hinge interconnecting same. The wrinkle removing device and / or magnets may be used in combination with the means for holding a garment to form a wrinkle removal system that removes wrinkles from garments, fabrics, clothing, and the like, without the application of heat and requiring minimal time and / or effort by the user.

Problems solved by technology

However, such devices have many drawbacks as the user must work with a hot device which may potentially score or damage the fabric, if not the user or those around the user.
Additionally, these devices often introduce wrinkles if not used properly.
Moreover, these devices require the users time and attention in order to work the iron or the steamer back and forth over the garment to smooth and de-wrinkle same.

Embodiment Construction

[0015]Referring to the Figures, the wrinkle removal system disclosed utilizes the application of weight and the force of gravity to de-wrinkle and / or stretch fabrics, garments, clothing items and the like. The system requires the user's attention only to initially “set-up” or hang the garment item and place the wrinkle removal device(s) thereon. Thus, the system requires very little time and / or effort of the user to de-wrinkle the clothing item or garment. Moreover, the wrinkle removal system disclosed does not require the application of heat or moisture to de-wrinkle items. However, the application of heat or moisture may further enhance the benefits of the system as more fully set forth herein below.

[0016]The system disclosed is preferably for use with items which can be hung from, for example, a hanger, such as a triangular shirt hanger, a clip-type hanger, or like device, and may be used with hanger devices of various types and sizes depending upon the item to be de-wrinkled, it...

Abstract

A system and a method for removing wrinkles from garments, fabrics and the like is provided. The wrinkle removal system comprises holding a garment in position on a hanger, or like device, and attaching one or more wrinkle removing devices having at least one magnet. The wrinkle removing devices work in connection with gravity to pull wrinkles out of the garment.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to wrinkle removal devices and systems. More specifically, the present invention relates to a system for removing wrinkles from garments and other fabrics without the need for the application of heat.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Devices for removing wrinkles from clothing, such as irons, steamers and the like, are well known in the art. These devices generally require the application of heat and often times moisture to smooth and de-wrinkle the clothing or fabric. However, such devices have many drawbacks as the user must work with a hot device which may potentially score or damage the fabric, if not the user or those around the user. Additionally, these devices often introduce wrinkles if not used properly. Moreover, these devices require the users time and attention in order to work the iron or the steamer back and forth over the garment to smooth and de-wrinkle same.[0003]Accordingly, there is a need in the art for a w...
