Benefits of technology

"The invention describes various apparatus and systems for removing lint from surfaces of materials. One embodiment is a lint removal unit that can be attached to an iron for removing particles. The lint removal unit has a cylindrical member with adhesive material for collecting particles. The cylindrical member can roll on the surface of the material. The invention also includes a connector mechanism for joining the lint removal unit to the iron, which can be rotated on the material surface. The connector mechanism can have hooks or rods for joining to the iron. Another embodiment is a system that includes the lint removal unit and the connector mechanism, along with means for joining the lint removal unit to the iron. The invention provides a convenient and efficient way to remove lint from materials."

Problems solved by technology

In view of the foregoing, it is clear that these traditional techniques are not perfect and leave room for more optimal approaches.

[0038

[0039]Described in some detail are two example implementations (A and B), without limitation, of an embodiment of the invention, as follows: Attachable and Detachable Lint Removal Assembly. Permanently affixed Lint Removal Assembly.

[0040][A] Attachable and Detachable Lint Removal Assembly.

The attachable and detachable Lint Removal assembly can be used with any iron in the market today. The sticky surfaces of the 2 hooks are affixed to the rear end of the iron. The two connector rods are attached to the hooks. A cylindrical lint remover roll is fixed in between the two connector rods. This assembly makes the lint remover a trailer to the iron, where the cylindrical lint remover fully rests on the clothing being ironed and thus as the iron is operated on the clothing is both pressed and cleaned of lint.

[0041][B] Permanently Affixed Lint Removal Assembly.

[0042]The Permanently affixed Lint Removal Assembly is an implementation of the invention that can be used to manufacture a comb...

Abstract

An apparatus and a system comprise a joining mechanism comprising a first part and a second part. The first part is configured for joining to an iron. A lint removal unit is configured to be operable for removing particles from a surface of a material. A connector mechanism comprises a first end and a second end. The first end is configured for joining to the lint removal unit. The second end is configured for joining to the second part of the joining mechanism where using the iron on the material places the lint removal unit on the surface of the material for removing particles.
