AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent describes a device that can be worn on a shirt to protect the sleeves from damage. Additionally, there is a protective clip that can be used to safeguard the edges of a shirt by covering and protecting the cornered edges. The clip has a plate with an inward surface and an outward surface, and a gripping member to secure it to the shirt. This invention offers a simple and effective solution to protect clothing from wear and tear.

Problems solved by technology

Many articles of clothing, such as jackets, have sleeves with split cuffs whose corners often experience greater wear than the rest of the article of clothing due to their location and frequent contact with hard surfaces, such as desks, tables or the like.
When these cuffs wear down, they are hard to repair and often times require the article of clothing to be disposed of.
