Figur 1 zeigt eine Ausführungsform einer Vorrichtung 1. Die Vorrichtung 1 dieser Ausführungsform ist eine mit Löchern 4 versehene rechteckige Kunststoffmatte bzw. flexible Kunststoffplatte, die beispielsweise die folgenden Maße aufweisen kann: Länge (5) = 1200 mm; Breite (6) = 230 mm, Dicke = 1 mm. Als Material für die Kunststoffmatte wurde Polyphenylenoxid verwendet, das unter der Bezeichnung Noryl® von General Electric erhältlich ist. Das Textilstück (hier nicht gezeigt) wird bei dieser Ausführungsform mittels entlang der längsten Ausdehnung 5 der Vorrichtung 1 angeordneter Haltebänder als Halterungselemente 2 befestigt. Die Haltebänder 2 sind hierbei an einem Ende der Vorrichtung 1 fest angebracht und können auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite der Vorrichtung 1 an einer Verschlusseinrichtung 3 befestigt werden. In der Vorrichtung 1 der Fig. 1 sind sieben parallele Reihen mit Löchern 4 ("Durchflutungslöcher") für die bessere Durchströmung (beispielsweise mit Waschlauge) vorhanden. FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a device 1. The device 1 of this embodiment is provided with holes 4 rectangular plastic mat or flexible plastic plate, which may for example have the following dimensions: length (5) = 1200 mm; Width (6) = 230 mm, thickness = 1 mm. As a material for the plastic mat polyphenylene oxide was used, which is available under the name Noryl® from General Electric. The textile piece (not shown here) is fastened as holding elements 2 in this embodiment by means of holding straps arranged along the longest extension 5 of the device 1. The straps 2 are in this case fixedly attached to one end of the device 1 and can be secured on the opposite side of the device 1 to a closure device 3. In the device 1 of Fig. 1 For example, there are seven parallel rows of holes 4 ("through holes") for better flow (e.g., with wash liquor).

Die Größe der Vorrichtung 1 ist im Allgemeinen auf die inneren Abmessungen der Trommel 9 der Wäschebehandlungsmaschine 11 abgestimmt. Beispielsweise ist die Vorrichtung 1 von Fig.1 für eine Waschmaschine mit der Bezeichnung Maxx Advantage der BSH Bosch und Siemens Hausgeräte GmbH ausgelegt. Die Länge der Vorrichtung 1 entspricht hierbei etwa dem Trommelumfang innerhalb der Mitnehmer und reicht beispielsweise für die Hosenlängen normaler Herrengrößen aus. Die Breite entspricht im Allgemeinen der Trommeltiefe im Mittelpunkt der Trommel 9.The size of the device 1 is generally matched to the internal dimensions of the drum 9 of the laundry treating machine 11. For example, the device 1 of Fig.1 designed for a washing machine called Maxx Advantage of BSH Bosch and Siemens Hausgeräte GmbH. The length of the device 1 in this case corresponds approximately to the drum circumference within the driver and is sufficient for example for the trouser lengths of normal men's sizes. The width generally corresponds to the drum depth at the center of the drum 9.

Fig. 2 zeigt eine Vorrichtung 1 mit einem daran fixierten Textilstück (Hose) 7. Die hier gezeigt Hose 7 wurde in Längsrichtung entsprechend ihrer Bügelfalten aufgelegt und mit elastischen Haltebändern 2 in Längsrichtung über die Verschlusseinrichtungen 3 an der Vorrichtung 1 fixiert. Fig. 2 shows a device 1 with a fixed thereto piece of fabric (pants) 7. The pants shown here 7 was placed in the longitudinal direction corresponding to their creases and fixed with elastic straps 2 in the longitudinal direction on the locking devices 3 on the device 1.

Fig. 3 zeigt eine Vorrichtung mit einer daran fixierten Hose 7 mit umgeschlagener Falte im Bundbereich. Da eine Hose 7 im Bundbereich häufig breiter ist als die innere Tiefe der Trommel 9 einer Wäschebehandlungsmaschine, wird sie in diesem Bereich auf der Vorrichtung 1 gefaltet. Zwar können hierbei zusätzliche Knitter entstehen, jedoch werden damit auch die Bügelfalten in diesem Bereich fixiert. Fig. 3 shows a device with a fixed pants 7 with folded fold in the waistband area. Since a trouser 7 in the waist region is often wider than the inner depth of the drum 9 of a laundry treatment machine, it is folded in this area on the device 1. Although this can cause additional creases, but also the creases are fixed in this area.

Fig. 4 zeigt die zu einer Rolle 8 zusammengerollte Vorrichtung 1 mit einem daran fixierten Textilstück 7. Fig. 4 shows the rolled into a roll 8 device 1 with a textile piece fixed thereto 7th

Fig. 5 zeigt schematisch den Querschnitt einer Trommel 9 in einer Wäschebehandlungsmaschine 11, in der sich eine Vorrichtung 1 mit einem daran fixierten Textilstück 7 befindet. 10 bedeutet die Trommelinnenwand. Fig. 5 schematically shows the cross section of a drum 9 in a laundry treating machine 11, in which a device 1 is located with a textile piece 7 fixed thereto. 10 means the drum inner wall.

Fig. 6 zeigt als Beispiel für eine Wäschebehandlungsmaschine eine Waschmaschine 11 mit geöffneter Trommel 9, aus der die zu einer Rolle 8 zusammengerollte Vorrichtung 1 mit einem daran fixierten Textilstück 7 herausragt. Fig. 6 shows as an example of a laundry treatment machine, a washing machine 11 with an open drum 9, from which the rolled-up to a roll 8 device 1 protrudes with a textile piece 7 fixed thereto.
