Folding board

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A folding board (or shirt folder, laundry folder, folding aid) is an aid made of plastic or, more rarely, cardboard that facilitates the systematic folding of shirts, T-shirts and other items of laundry.

The folding board consists of 4 parts that are connected by joints. You place the item of laundry to be folded on it, fold the side parts to the middle and the textile is thus folded cleanly and to a uniform size. It is a product that is sold, particularly in Germany, through various television programs from the so-called shopping TV stations. The US patent for this helper was registered on October 5, 2000 by Deborah Baker. She is also behind FlipFold, the company that sells the original folding board.
