Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for facilitating the uniform folding of shirts and T-shirts during domestic ironing.
- US Pat. No. 2,988,251 relates to a folder folding device consisting of two plates articulated together, one of which has a cavity and a groove having the object of avoiding crushing the neck and aligning the buttons with the neck of the shirt when folding.
- Patent EP 46 2074 relates to a device for folding shirts, allowing them to be transported without damage in suitcases, consisting of a plate and a frame articulated on it, provided with small notches, preventing movement of the shirt, the closing of the hinged frame on the plate thus enclosing the garment previously placed on it, can by a shearing effect, damage the shirts by cutting them.
- the invention relates to a device for folding shirts and T-shirts during domestic ironing.
- the invention consists of a main part, of full template type, of almost rectangular shape, with a thickness of a few millimeters, making it possible to fold a shirt by superimposing the template on the ironed garment, placed flat for example on a table. ironing, the flaps being folded down one by one on the device, the device is then removed by sliding it through the upper part of the folded garment.
- the device is provided with a surface finish or provided on the surface with a low friction coating, of the "TEFLON" type or based on silicone such that it does not adhere to textile materials, and provided on its short side upper part of a fixed inclined projection (2) forming a handle.
- the angle ⁇ of the projection between 5 and 60 degrees relative to the plane axis of the template (1) allowing to clear the space behind the collar of the shirt (5) and facilitate its gripping.
- the upper part of the template has a shape allowing it to follow the slope of the shoulders of a shirt laid flat with the side ⁇ - (3) - and the side b- (3) being slightly inclined with respect to the horizontal ⁇ b of conversely, moreover the main part has a very slight downward taper, in fact the width of its lower part l is a few millimeters smaller than the width of its upper part l, thus this facilitates the release of the template once the folded garment, moreover all the edges are of rounded shapes, thus avoiding any risk of snagging on the fabrics and facilitating, here too, the extraction of the template from the garment.
- the device can be made with different dense materials, chosen from materials such as wood, particle board, metal, dense plastic, glass or transparent plastic such as 'Plexiglas'.
- the non-adherent surface is obtained either by polishing in the case materials such as wood, or by a coating based on "TEFLON" or another material with low coefficient of friction.
- the projection (2), gripping means, incorporated on the central part, or on all or part, of the upper side of the template conforming to the shoulders ⁇ - (3) -b, may include an orifice making it possible to hang the device, the more it can have a step extending substantially horizontally.
- the full surface of the template serving as advertising or other support.
- Figure la represents the invention seen in plan.
- FIG. 1b represents a particular embodiment of the template seen from the front.
- Figure 2 ⁇ shows the profile profile.
- FIG. 1a represents an overall view of the invention, seen in plan.
- a fixed projection (2) serving as a handle by the joint zone (3).
- the projection (2) makes an angle ⁇ - with respect to the plane axis of the template (1).
- FIG. 1b represents a particular embodiment seen from the front.
- the main part is formed by the sides ⁇ 'bb' ⁇ 'b 'as well as by the sides formed between ⁇ and the Joining area (3) and b with the Joining area (3).
- the width £, of the axis ⁇ b is greater than the width of the axis ⁇ 'b' from one to four millimeters so a slight taper is created, facilitating the extraction of the device once the garment is folded.
- FIG. 2b represents, the positioning of the device on a shirt (4), the collar of the shirt (5) being under the projection (2) of the device, seen in profile.
- FIG. 2c represents, in profile view, the projection (2) constituted by an upward recess (2 ⁇ ) continuing with an extension (2b) substantially horizontally forming a handle.
- Figure 3 ⁇ shows the positioning of the device on the element to be folded, front view the template (1) is placed on the upper central part of the shirt (4) the projection (2) above the neck (5) of shirt.
- Figure 3b shows the device once the shirt or T-shirt folded on it.
- the device is removed by grasping it by the projection (2) and sliding it by the upper part of the garment thus folded.
- Several sizes can exist depending on the size of the clothes.
