Abstract
The invention is a clip holder that can be applied to fabric or clothing, specifically shirts or underwear, designed to aid in maintaining the folded status of the garment. The holder has two horizontal, parallel posts with space between them on one side, which descend or curve down on the same end and then converge to form a single post in the center, which then turns horizontally in the same direction as the two posts above and is almost parallel to the two posts. From a side view, the shape of the holder appears as a “U” shape, which narrows at the opening compared to the interior of the holder. It is this narrowing that enhances the gripping ability of the holder on the folded garment. Because the single post fits between the top posts, two folded garments with this invention applied become easily stackable.
Claims7
A clip holder for maintaining a folded status of a fabric or garment comprising:
- spaced, horizontal and parallel first and second posts;
- a curved or flat back section that descends at an angle from the first and second top posts and converges to a third post;
- the third post almost parallel to the first and second posts and positioned between the first and second posts, defining an interior space with an opening for receiving the folded fabric or garment that is narrower at the opening than at the back section;
- and wherein the spacing between the first and second posts and the third post is sufficiently narrow or close as to create or cause friction against the fabric or garment to maintain placement of the holder on the fabric or garment.
