<p>The ironing assistance pad (1, Figure 1) is formed from a central layer 2 having two parallel opposed planar faces and a resiliently deformable body. First and second outer cotton sheet layers 3, 4 are formed to allow the penetration of steam and heat from an iron. Each sheet layer is sized and shaped to cover a face of the central layer. The pad can be placed inside clothes or other items to be ironed to hold them in shape while they are ironed, or placed between an iron and clothes to help shield the clothes from excess heat or steam produced by the iron. Steam and heat may still freely penetrate through the pad to allow clothes to be ironed to the required finish and help to prevent telltale pressed seam lines. The two sheet layers may be connected to one another around their perimeter edges by stitching 5. The two sheet layers may also be metalized and perforated. The pad may be sized to fit within a shirt or trouser pocket or a hip section of trousers.</p> |
