The present invention provides a protective cover for a baby carrier ring and a set thereof. The protective cover is a pocket formed from a pair of washable shields having at least one fastener. The fabric pockets are conformable around baby carrier rings. Each pocket is removably attachable to a baby carrier ring with the fastener. The washable material of the pocket protects the ring from damage while, for example, washing, drying, storing, and shipping the baby carrier.

The automatic supply of items of laundry to a feeding machine for supplying the items of laundry to a mangle requires the formation of adjacent corners of an edge of the item of laundry, which edge is to be spread upstream of the feeding machine, which hitherto has not been able to be achieved automatically with sufficient reliability. The invention brings the respective item of laundry into a U-shaped configuration before same is supplied to the feeding machine and, starting from said configuration, to stretch apart said item of laundry with a spreading device having a conveyor cascade. This reliably forms the adjacent corners of the edge, which is to be stretched out, of the item of laundry, said corners being required for automatically feeding the item of laundry into the feeding machine. A reliable automatic supply of the respective item of laundry to the feeding machine is therefore ensured.

A cart coat adapted to seat within a laundromat cart includes an outer layer and an inner layer. The outer layer defines an inner surface and an outer surface of the cart coat, and the outer layer further defines a pouch. The inner layer is retained within the pouch and can be detachable or removable from the outer layer. The inner layer includes a health protection material. A cart coat transport system may include the cart coat and an article of apparel configured to be worn on an upper part of a wearer's body. The cart coat is selectively attachable to the article of apparel.

A shoelace cleaning device for containing at least one shoelace during the washing thereof. The device includes at least one perforated containment shell and central hub. In some example embodiments, the shoelace cleaning device can function as a shoe tree or shoe shaping/structuring device. A shoe cleaning device is also disclosed.

Devices, systems, and methods for repositioning a deformable laundry article are described. For example, a robotic device includes a conveyor configured to transfer the deformable laundry article outside of a work volume, two or more lifters including grippers individually anchored about the perimeter of the work volume, two or more sensors disposed at fixed locations about the work volume, and a memory storing data indicative of repositioned deformable laundry articles. A controller is in operative communication with the memory, the two or more sensors, and the two or more lifters. The controller is configured to receive a signal from the sensors, identify grip points on the deformable laundry article suspended above the conveyor, instruct a lifter to grip and lift an identified grip point to the suspension height, determine whether the deformable laundry article is repositioned, and instruct the lifters to lower the repositioned deformable laundry article onto the conveyor.

An apparatus for a laundry treating appliance can include a tub carrying a first basket defining a first treating chamber. A removable basket assembly can be included in the laundry treating appliance selectively carried at least partially within the first basket. A portion of the second basket can be sloped complementary to a portion of the second basket or a portion of the second basket in order to form a liquid-tight seal between the first basket and the second basket.
