       13 . The device according to  claim 12 , wherein the inner inflatable member includes a cladding at least partially forming a separation between the outer torso section and the outer sleeve sections.  
   
   
       14 . The device according to  claim 13 , wherein the inner inflatable member has an inner torso section and two inner sleeve stumps laterally connected to the inner torso section, the separation between the outer torso section and the outer sleeve sections being formed by the inner sleeve stumps, the inner sleeve stumps having a circumference being greater than the circumference of the outer sleeve section.  
   
   
       15 . The device according to  claim 14 , wherein an inner wedge is provided on the inner inflatable member on an opening of each inner sleeve stump, said inner wedge having a circumference of the inner sleeve stump in the vicinity of the inner sleeve stump opening being greater than the circumference of the inner sleeve stump opening.  
   
   
       16 . The device according to  claim 12 , wherein an outer wedge is provided on the outer inflatable member at an opening of each outer sleeve section, said outer wedge having a circumference of the outer sleeve section in the vicinity of the outer sleeve opening being greater than the circumference of the outer sleeve opening.  
   
   
       17 . The device according to  claim 14 , wherein the inner sleeve stumps each include a front face being permeable to air for the supply of air into the outer sleeve section of the outer inflatable member, the front faces being formed by at least one of an open air permeable material and a dense material having openings.  
   
   
       18 . The device according to claims  14 , wherein the inner torso portion has air-permeable regions for the air supply to the outer torso section.  
   
   
       19 . The device according to  claim 12 , wherein the inner inflatable member include two separate side portions which each form a portion of the inner torso portion, the separate side portions being interconnected by connecting means.  
   
   
       20 . The device according to  claim 19 , wherein each side portion of the inner inflatable member includes an inner side facing the other side portion and being at least partially air-permeable, the inner side being formed by at least one of an open air permeable material and a dense material having multiple openings.  
   
   
       21 . The device according to  claim 12 , wherein a pressure ratio of 1:2.5 to 1:4.5 is adjusted between the outer inflatable member and the inner inflatable member.  
   
   
       22 . The device according to  claim 12 , wherein a pressure ratio of 1:3 to 1:3.5 is adjusted between the outer inflatable member and the inner inflatable member.  
   
   
       23 . The device according to  claim 12 , wherein the inflatable member includes a sealed region having an air permeability in the region of 0 to 3 L/m 2 s, a moderate air permeability region having an air permeability in the range of 3 to 20 L/m 2 s, and an air-permeable region have an air permeability in the range of 100 to 250 L/m 2 s.  
   
   
       24 . The device according to  claim 23 , wherein the inflatable member includes the sealed region having an air permeability in the region of 0 to 1 L/m 2 s, the moderate air permeability region having an air permeability in the range of 5 to 10 L/m 2 s, and the air-permeable region have an air permeability in the range of 150 to 210 L/m 2 s.  
   
   
       25 . A device for ironing garments, the device comprising: 
 an outer inflatable member having with an outer torso section and two outer sleeve sections which are laterally connected to the outer torso section;    an inner inflatable member disposed within the outer inflatable member and including an inner torso section and two inner sleeve stumps laterally connected to the inner torso section at inner openings, and two side portions, each side portion including an inner side facing the other side portion and being at least partially air-permeable; and    an inner wedge is provided on each inner sleeve stump and having a circumference in the vicinity of the inner opening being greater than the circumference of the inner opening.    
   
   
       26 . The device according to  claim 25 , wherein the inflatable member includes a sealed region having an air permeability in the region of 0 to 3 L/m 2 s, a moderate air permeability region having an air permeability in the range of 3 to 20 L/m 2 s, and an air-permeable region have an air permeability in the range of 100 to 250 L/m 2 s.  
   
   
       27 . The device according to  claim 26 , comprising: 
 the sealed region including the inner sleeve stump, at least a portion of the torso portion, and at least a portion of the inner sides;    the moderate air permeability region including at least a portion of the torso portion disposed opposite the inner side; and    the air-permeable region including at least a portion of the inner sides.
