Device for smoothing out clothes

Abstract

A device for smoothing out clothes, in particular shirts comprising an external inflatable body and an internal inflatable body each of which is provided with a trunk section. When inflated, the external and internal inflatable bodies are adjacent to each other through a contact area, and the material of the internal inflatable body and/or external inflatable body exhibits at least a mean air permeability at least in a transmission area which forms the part of the contact area.

       9 . A device for smoothing clothing items, the device comprising an outer inflatable body having an outer torso section and an inner inflatable body having an inner torso section, the inner inflatable body and the outer inflatable body being in contact with one another over a contact area in an inflated state and the material of at least one of the inner and outer inflatable bodies having at least a moderate air permeability in at least one permeable area which forms a part of the contact area.  
   
   
       10 . The device according to  claim 9 , wherein the contact area extends on the inner and outer inflatable bodies over a portion of the torso sections, in particular over a front and sides of the torso sections.  
   
   
       11 . The device according to  claim 9 , wherein the inner and outer inflatable bodies include sides and the permeable area is located on the sides of the torso sections of at least one of the inner and outer inflatable bodies.  
   
   
       12 . The device according to  claim 9 , wherein the permeable area is located in a chest area of at least one of the inner and outer inflatable bodies.  
   
   
       13 . The device according to  claim 9 , wherein the at least one permeable area is on the inner inflatable body and is formed from a material having a moderate air permeability in the range of about 3 to 20 L/m 2 s.  
   
   
       14 . The device according to  claim 13 , wherein the at least one permeable area of the inner inflatable body is formed from a material having a moderate air permeability in the range of about 5 to 10 L/m 2 s.  
   
   
       15 . The device according to  claim 9 , wherein the at least one permeable area is on the outer inflatable body and is formed from a material having a moderate air permeability in the range of about 3 to 20 L/m 2 s.  
   
   
       16 . The device according to  claim 15 , wherein the at least one permeable area of the outer inflatable body is formed from a material having a moderate air permeability in the range of about 5 to 10 L/m 2 s.  
   
   
       17 . The device according to  claim 9 , wherein the at least one permeable area is on the outer inflatable body and is formed from a material having a high air permeability in the range of about 100 to 250 L/m 2 s.  
   
   
       18 . The device according to  claim 13 , wherein the at least one permeable area of the outer inflatable body is formed from a material having a moderate air permeability in the range of about 150 to 210 L/m 2 s.  
   
   
       19 . The device according to  claim 9 , wherein a pressure ratio of the pressure in the outer inflatable body and the pressure in the inner inflatable body in the inflated state is between about 1:2.5 to 1:4.5.
