SLEEVE IRONING APPARATUS AND CLIP FOR HANGING THE APPARATUS ON THE IRONING TABLE

TECHNICAL FIELD The invention is related with a sleeve ironing apparatus which provides to quickly and easily iron the sleeves of top clothing such as sweaters, gowns and particularly shirts and an apparatus hanging clip which provides to easily hang such sleeve ironing apparatus on the ironing table. STATE OF THE ART

Owner of the invention has applied for patent on June11 , 2014 with the patent application No. TR 2014 06744. In the patent application, it is explained that this invention avoids difficulty and waste of time during ironing sleeves of the shirts after being washed and dried.

It is stated that the shirt sleeve ironing apparatus with patent application No. TR 2014 06744 which costs much cheaper and occupies less physical space solves the problem with the shirt sleeve ironing tables of the state of art which costs more expensive and occupies more physical space.

It is stated that the shirt sleeve ironing apparatus defined in the patent application No. TR 2014 06744 has a structure that is adjustable for ironing shirt sleeves with different sizes. In the patent with No. TR 2014 06744, this case is described as follows: "This adjustment mechanism which can be adjusted gradually according to sleeve size of the clothing can be achieved by the pressure adjustment plate between the top cover and bottom cover, the gab slots on it, the steel spring, the wire base and the left end gab and the right end gab with the size adjustment gabs". "With the pressure adjustment plate among inner components of the holding handle and the gab slots, movement of the left end gab in the left direction and the right end gab in the right direction provides adjustment gradually according to the size of sleeve. The adjustment for larger sizes can be made by manually pulling the armpit side wire in the right direction and the shoulder side wire in the left direction simultaneously. Movement of this adjustment mechanism is provided on the wire bedding. For the size reduction process, with the movement provided in the wire bedding, the right end gab and the left end gab placed in the gab slots on the pressure adjustment plate according to the size numbers are moved in opposite directions, united on the wire base, come back to back and the smallest shirt size is reached".

As is understood also from the foregoing description, in the apparatus explained in patent number TR 201 06744, after adjustment of desired size by simultaneous movement of the left end gab and the right end gab, the left end gab and the right end gab are fitted in the gab slot and the size adjusted is fixed. When the shirt sleeve is clad in the adjusted shirt sleeve ironing apparatus, the left end gab and/or the right end gab may get out of the gab slots due to the tension during ironing. The main reason for the left end gab and/or the right end gab to get out of the gab slots is that the gab slots have radius, so due to the tension force during ironing, the left end gab and/or the right end gab may easily get out of the gab slots with radius. This problem causes the ironing process to stop and the shirt sleeve ironing apparatus to be adjusted frequently during ironing. Open ends of the wires forming the socket slots of the apparatus explained in patent number TR 201406744 cause the problem of tearing the shirt sleeve by sticking while cladding to or removing from the shirt ironing apparatus.

While ironing other clothes such as skirts, there is no place on the ironing table to keep the shirt ironing apparatus explained in the patent number TR 2014 06744 used today. This case leads to problems in keeping the shirt ironing apparatus during ironing.

Since there is no size chart and body size numbers on state of the art, it is hard for the user to adjust the shirt ironing apparatus. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The invention eliminates the disadvantages described above. By the help of development in the invention, by the sleeve ironing apparatus in the shirt sleeve, the right size fixing gab on which the shoulder opening wire is mounted, can not get out of the right gab bearing due to the tensile force on the shirt sleeve. The right gab bearing is in the form of reverse gab and the right gab pushing spring continuously applies pressure on the size foot locking gab-2 through the right gab bearing in the form of reverse gab. So, the shoulder opening wire can not open during ironing. In the same way, the left size fixing gab on which the armpit opening wire is mounted, can not get out of the left gab bearing due to the tensile force on the shirt sleeve. The left gab bearing is in the form of reverse gab and the left gab pushing spring continuously applies pressure on the size foot locking gab-1 through the left gab bearing in the form of reverse gab. So, the armpit opening wire can not open during ironing. This development in the invention removes the problem of opening for the shoulder opening wire and armpit opening wire during ironing and makes the ironing process easier, fast and ergonomic. In the invention, the left rope clip female end section which closes the open part where the armpit opening wire is bended in a way to leave a portion open. By this way, the problem of tearing the shirt sleeve by sticking in the open part of bent section of armpit opening wire while cladding to or removing from the sleeve ironing apparatus.
