| 20120222337 | Garment Roller Press - A convenient wrinkle removing device that employs a pair of rollers to press unsightly and undesirable wrinkles from an article of clothing while in a hanging position. The device comprises a pair of rollers attached to a frame, the frame having a handle for the user to grip. A suspended garment is inserted between the rollers, which are capable of translation and free rotation. The rollers lock into an operating position, compressing the garment therebetween while still maintaining their free rotation. This operating position enables the device to press the garment as it is fed therethrough. A user passes the article of clothing through the rollers, wherein the device flattens and removes wrinkles that may exist in the fabric of the garment. A heating element may be provided to improve the pressing operation, while clips are provided to control the garment as it is being pressed. | 09-06-2012 |
| 20120198736 | Spiral wrapping for an ironer roller of a chest ironer and a chest ironer provided with such a spiral wrapping - A spiral wrapping for an ironer roller for a chest ironer. Chest ironers have at least one rotatably drivable ironer roller, the lower half of which is surrounded by a stationary ironer bed. The ironer roller is surrounded by an outer spiral wrapping which comes into contact with the item of laundry to be treated. The spiral wrapping is provided with an outer layer produced from a coarse woven fabric which has a higher coefficient of friction. The coefficient of friction of the coarse woven fabric does not alter as the age of the spiral wrapping increases. This means that even in the case of older spiral wrappings, there is sufficient frictional engagement between the spiral wrapping, namely the outer layer, and the item of laundry to be smoothed out. | 08-09-2012 |
| 20140096420 | FABRIC MATERIAL - A method for making a fabric material includes the steps of weaving a plurality of strands of a warp yarn in a warp direction with a plurality of strands of a first filling yarn impregnated with silver ions in a filling direction and a plurality of strands of a second filling yarn impregnated with copper ions in the filling direction. Each of the plurality of stands of the first filling yarn and each of said plurality of strands of the second filling yarn are alternately woven with the plurality of strands of the warp yarn in the filling direction. The method further includes scouring the fabric material to remove external matter, conditioning the fabric material in order to soften it, drying the fabric material, and calendaring the fabric material to smoothen it. | 04-10-2014 |

| 20090205229 | CREASER ACCESSORY DEVICE FOR HAND HELD STEAMER - The creaser accessory device includes first and second plates pivotally connected to a lever arm that can be operated by a user to pivot the plates away from each other to receive a portion of a garment, and toward each other to press the portion of the garment such as to form a crease in the garment. The typically have apertures therethrough to allow steam from a hand held steam generating device removably coupled to the creaser accessory device to pass through the apertures to heat the portion of the garment when received in the creaser accessory device. | 08-20-2009 |
| 20100018084 | SYSTEM AND APPARATUS FOR CREATING A HEM - The present invention relates to a consumer-portable dual hem ironing unit including at least a first and a second ironing unit members and a mechanism for grasping and retaining a first and a second material fold (first and second hems) during an ironing of the folded material. The consumer-portable design allows users to reposition either the unit or the material along an unfinished length of material and form a uniform continuous double rolled hem configuration. Adjustable measurement guides allow for hem accuracy and alternative configurations provide steam supply and steaming options. Alternative heavier-use embodiment enables securing to a table edge and includes an enhanced water capacity for improved steam generation. Multiple mechanisms are provided for gripping the folded material during a use and thermal and fluid flow controls allow control of double rolled hem pressing across a wide palate of fabric and flexible material types. | 01-28-2010 |
