ABSTRACT:
A pocket-flap pressing device for pressing pocket flaps of different sized pockets located on a garment. The pocket-flap pressing device is used to press the pocket flaps of a standard-issue military uniform that includes four different sized pockets on the military blouse and pants. The pocket-flap pressing device includes a board-like body that is flexible and has a padding attached to one side of the body. A heat resistant, flame-retardant cover encloses the board-like body. The board-like body includes a plurality of edges that each have a length corresponding to one of the different sized pocket flaps. A first edge of the pocket-flap pressing device corresponds to the length of a top pocket located on a military blouse. The second edge of board-like body 42 corresponds with the length of the pocket flaps of the bottom pocket of a military blouse. A third edge of the board-like body corresponds with the length of pocket flaps of the cargo pockets of a pair of military pants. The fourth edge of the board-like body corresponds in length to the back pocket of a pair of military pants. Each of the edges is inserted into a flap opening of a pocket flap such that the buttons of the pocket are positioned between the outer pocket flap and the button. The inserted pressing device protects the pocket from being damaged by an underlying button during the pressing process. A notch positioned adjacent to fourth edge extends into the board-like body such that the board-like body can be fully inserted into the back pockets of the pants.
