Benefits of technology

[0009]A stain removing device that primarily uses water pressure and flow and, optionally, detergent to clean the stain is disclosed. In general, the stain removing device comprises an enclosure that surrounds and encapsulates a stained area of fabric. The enclosure is then closed, providing a somewhat watertight volume around the stained area to prevent the remainder of the fab

Embodiment Construction

[0032]In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough description of the present invention. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art, that the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known features have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the invention.

[0033]Clothing stains caused by food, drinks, or other substances are common and may occur where a washing machine is unavailable. Hand washing using tap water and soap is the relied upon. This is cumbersome, time consuming and tends to wet a large area of the clothing. In addition, such cleaning may be ineffective.

[0034]The stain removing device disclosed herein makes the stain removal process quicker and easier, and provides cleaning primarily using water pressure and flow. The stain removing device will typically clean a small area of fabric quickly and without wetting an area much larger than t...

Abstract

A stain removing device cleans a stained area of fabric while encapsulating the stained area to prevent the remainder of the fabric from getting wet. The stain removing device provides effective cleaning while also being low cost and portable. The stain removing device may be used where fabric cleaning facilities or equipment are not available, and does not require electrical power. The stain removing device includes an enclosure and cover for encapsulating a stained area of fabric, and contains cleaning elements therein which may be propelled manually or by water flow from a tap, faucet or other water source.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 219,403, filed Sep. 16, 2015 and to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 219,046, filed Sep. 15, 2015.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Field of the Invention[0003]The invention relates to textile cleaning and in particular to stain removing devices and methods for cleaning clothing, fabric and other textiles.[0004]Related Art[0005]Various patents describe apparatus directed to removing stains on clothing through mechanical means and chemicals. These patents generally disclose the concept of applying a cleaning fluid to a stained area to remove a stain. The cleaning fluid may be water or water with some chemical agents such as detergents. Movement of the fabric causes the cleaning fluid to be absorbed by the fabric to lift a stain. Rinsing away or otherwise removing the cleaning fluid after the cleaning agent has lifted some of the staining material complet...
