Stiff Flexible Hoop and Method for Reducing Wrinkles in Clothing

Abstract

A flexible and rigid thin hoop to be inserted into wet pants, shirts, or other appropriate clothing for the purposes of reducing or eliminating wrinkles. This invention reduces the use of electricity by old methods such as ironing or professional pressing, and reduces the risk of injury by burns. The preferred method of use eliminates the step of using a drier, thus further saving electricity and time in laundry activities. Additionally, improved timing or ease of use may be found through reduction of warm up time for heating elements within irons or assembly of iron boards.

1 . A hoop or collection of hoops comprised of hard flexible material, said hoops joined with or without any detectable seam, designed to fit into wet or damp clothing such as pants or shirts or other clothing into which a hoop may be inserted to cause tension on the fabric of such clothing that may decrease the appearance of wrinkles within the clothing before or after drying, and may or may not cause a crease to occur upon the clothing.
