Definitions

  • the invention relates in general to a kit for washing brassieres, bikini tops and the like in an automatic washing machine.
  • the kit comprises a shell having two halves with a multiplicity of apertures therein, and an agitator deployed within the shell along the garment.
  • the prior art consists of a multiplicity of designs using rigid and semi-rigid shells in which to wash brassieres, bikini tops and the like. While the prior art serves to protect the delicate garments within the rigid and semi-rigid shells during washing they fail to actually clean the fabric of the garment by. Thus, the need arises for an apparatus which protects the garment as well as cleans brassieres, bikini tops and the like using a means to rub the garment during the wash.
  • Brassieres and bikini tops are commonly made with two cups, two shoulder straps, a back strap and a latching mechanism (generally a hook and loop) integrated into the back strap or between the cups. Brassieres and bikini tops can also incorporate additional padding or underwire for support of the cup.
  • the fabric utilized in brassiere and bikini tops may be lace, silk or fine fabric making the garment very easily damaged thereby necessitating hand washing in lieu of machine washing.
  • one object of the present invention is to provide a kit which allows for both protection and cleaning of brassieres, bikini tops and like garments by rubbing the fabric during machine washing despite being encased in a protective shell.
  • a second object of the invention is to provide a kit which is easy to use.
  • a second object of the invention is to provide a kit which is durable and reusable.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates the brassiere washing kit according to one embodiment.
  • the kit 100 includes a shell 5 comprising a first hemisphere 10 and a second hemisphere 15 hemispheres with a multiplicity of apertures 20.
  • the hemispheres may be fabric from any rigid or semi-rigid material taken from the group comprising thermoset plastics and thermoplastics (e.g., polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP)). It is preferred that that the hemispheres are formed from polypropylene.
  • PE polyethylene
  • PP polypropylene
  • the apertures 20 may be in any design or shape so long as it prevents the contents from extending outward.
  • the number of apertures 20 will be dependent upon the buoyancy of the kit to facilitate the submergence of the kit in the wash water.
  • the hemispheres 10, 15 are joined by a hinge 25 which allow the hemispheres to rotate to a closed position to form shell 5.
  • a locking or latch mechanism 30, which are generally known in the industry, is integrated into the hemispheres 10, 15.
  • the latch mechanism is preferably located directly opposite hinge as depicted in Figures 1 and 2 . Or, in the alternative, the latch or locking mechanism may be located any where on the shell to secure the two hemispheres in a closed position.
  • the hemispheres 10, 15 Ranch accommodate a cup of the brassiere.
  • the hemispheres 10, 15 when closed, with or without the brassiere therein, forms a cavity.
  • on the hemispheres may incorporate a lip 45 to receive the edge of the other hemisphere for purposes of maintaining alignment of the hemispheres when closed to form the shell.
  • the kit includes an agitator 50.
  • Agitator 50 comprises a ball with a multiplicity of nodules 55 extending outward. It is preferred that the agitator is fabricated either from natural rubber or synthetic rubber.
  • one cup of the garment is placed into each hemisphere.
  • the agitator 50 placed on top of one of the cups in the hemisphere.
  • the hemispheres are then closed to form the complete shell with the agitator located in the cavity formed from the closure of the hemispheres.
  • the agitator gently rubs the delicate fabric the garment to loosen and remove any dirt or debris therein.
