Brassiere Washing Kit

Abstract

The invention relates in general to a kit for washing brassieres, bikini tops and the like. The brassiere washing kit comprises a shell comprising two hemispheres with a multiplicity of apertures, and a means to lock the hemispheres when closed. Each hemisphere accommodates a cup of the brassiere to form a cavity when the shell is closed, allowing the placement of an agitator in between said cups of the brassiere before the shell is closed. The agitator possesses a multiplicity of nodules to rub the encased garment without damaging the fabric. The number and size of the apertures of the shell are sized to prevent any part of the garment from extending through the shell, and facilitate submergence in the wash water.

1 . A kit for washing a brassiere with two conjoined cups comprising:
 A shell comprising two hemispheres with a multiplicity of apertures, said hemispheres each accommodate a cup of the brassiere to form a cavity when the shell is closed; and   An agitator placed in between said cups of the brassiere before the hemispheres of the shell are closed to loosen and remove any dirt or debris in the fabric of the brassiere when placed in a machine washer.   
     
     
         2 . The kit of  claim 1  wherein said agitator comprises a sphere with a multiplicity of nodules extending outward from the sphere. 
     
     
         3 . The kit of  claim 1  wherein the two hemispheres of the shell are pivotally coupled to each other. 
     
     
         4 . The kit of  claim 1  wherein at least one latch mechanism is incorporated to hold the two hemispheres closed. 
     
     
         5 . The kit of  claim 1  wherein the agitator is formed from the group consisting of natural rubber or synthetic rubber. 
     
     
         6 . The kit of  claim 1  wherein the shell is formed from the group consisting of polyethylene or polypropylene. 
     
     
         7 . A brassiere washing kit comprising:
 A shell comprising two hemispheres with a multiplicity of apertures in the shell of a sufficient size and number to achieve submergence in water and prevent the brassiere from extending out therefrom;   Said hemispheres each accommodate a cup of the brassiere to form a cavity when the shell is closed; and   An agitator placed between the hemispheres before the shell is closed to form the cavity.   
     
     
         8 . The kit of  claim 7  wherein said agitator comprises a sphere with a multiplicity of nodules extending outward from the sphere to massage the brassiere and release any dirt or debris in the brassiere fabric. 
     
     
         9 . The kit of  claim 7  wherein the two hemispheres of the shell are pivotally coupled to each other. 
     
     
         10 . The kit of  claim 7  wherein a latch mechanism is incorporated to hold the two hemispheres closed. 
     
     
         11 . The kit of  claim 7  wherein the agitator is formed from the group consisting of natural rubber or synthetic rubber. 
     
     
         12 . The kit of  claim 7  wherein the shell is formed from the group consisting of polyethylene or polypropylene. 
     
     
         13 . A brassiere washing kit comprising:
 A shell comprising two fixed shaped hemispheres with a multiplicity of apertures of a sufficient size and number to achieve a desired buoyancy and retain the brassiere within the shell without any portion of said brassiere escaping through the apertures;   Said hemispheres each accommodate a cup of the brassiere to form a cavity when the shell is closed; and   An agitator placed between the hemispheres before the shell is closed to form the cavity.   
     
     
         14 . The kit of  claim 13  wherein said agitator comprises a sphere with a multiplicity of nodules extending outward from the sphere to massage the brassiere and release any dirt or debris in the brassiere fabric. 
     
     
         15 . The kit of  claim 13  wherein the two hemispheres of the shell are pivotally coupled to each other. 
     
     
         16 . The kit of  claim 13  wherein a latch mechanism is incorporated to hold the two hemispheres closed. 
     
     
         17 . The kit of  claim 13  wherein the agitator is formed from the group consisting of natural rubber or synthetic rubber. 
     
     
         18 . The kit of  claim 13  wherein the shell is formed from the group consisting of polyethylene or polypropylene.
