Garment drying form comprising flexible, conformable mesh insert body

Abstract

Abstract A garment drying device utilizes a foraminous container or bag and sleeves fabricated from a flexible, generally water repellent first foraminous or open mesh woven material, which container is adapted to fit inside the garment and to generally conform to the shape of the garment. Contained inside the foraminous container or bag is a generally resilient, water repellent second foraminous or open weave mesh material distibuted by ruffling and attaching it to the top of the bag and sleeves. If needed for reshaping the drying garment, additional mesh is inserted randomly in the bag. Velcro fasteners at the bottom of the bag keep additional mesh in place. The weight of the drying garment is rested on seamless mesh and foam rubber or plastic pads which are adhered inside the top of the bag to prevent seam and hanger marks from showing on the garment. The resilience of the second foraminous material is chosen to be sufficient to hold the sides of the container or bag apart and allow air to flow through the foramina or mesh in both the first and second foraminous materials. An adjustable frame can also be used to prevent shrinkage of highly shrinkable garments.
