Abstract

A magnetic press and refresher for clothes in the form of a flat central member, preferably rectangular, containing magnetic tapes attached adjacent to its longitudinal edges on both surfaces with backings similarly sized having magnetically attractable strips on the longitudinal sides of one surface aligned with the magnetic tapes on the central member. The backings may consist of transparent material and said strips are capable of being raised from or lowered to the surface of the backings. Clothing moistened, optionally with a slight solution of mild cleaning material, is set on the central member between the magnetic tapes or on a backing or both backings between the strips. The central member and backing or backings are then joined together by the tapes magnetically adhering to the strips and afterwards separated.

Dependent claims

A magnetic press and refresher for clothes apparatus comprising a flat, thin rectangular member, partially pliable, containing thin, flat flexible magnetic tape attached adjacent to each of the longitudinal edges of its surface, the base of said tapes being lowered so that their surfaces are even with the surface of said rectangular member, and a flat, thin backing of the same size as said rectangular member, provided with magnetically attractable strips movably set on each of the longitudinal sides of said backing on a base lowered from its surface, with said strips adjustably engaging extensions fastened to the other side of said backing enabling said strips to be raised and lowered from the surface of said backing, and capable of magnetically adhering on said magnetic tapes, thereby holding clothes placed between said backing and rectangular member and allowing said clothes to extend out on all sides.
