Description

The invention relates to a beach towel assembly having the features of the preamble of claim 1.

Beach towel arrangements, especially beach towels, which are needed for example at the lake or on the beach, are known in many designs. Often, however, it happens that the known beach towel assemblies are blown by the wind, and must therefore be constantly reoriented or interpreted. This is tedious and uncomfortable in the long run.

From the DE 20 2011 107 359 U1 For example, a beach towel arrangement is known, which has attached in a peripheral region or sewn-in weight.

In the DE 10 333 376 is a beach towel arrangement or a towel described in which several anchors are attached. This is to serve to attach the towel to an object or in the floor area, so that the beach towel arrangement can not be blown by the wind.

These beach towel arrangements are also very expensive, since additional work must be carried out on the ground and / or additional devices must be attached to an object or in the floor area. In addition, further items of the beach towel arrangement are also to be carried.

Further, from the US patent US 7,174,585 B1 a beach towel arrangement with a sand-fillable head storage bag and leg storage pocket, which can be formed by an additional material layer and the actual bed surface by turning the front pages. These sand pockets can be arranged not only on the front sides, but also in other areas of the beach towel arrangement.

Further, from the US patent US 6,721,973 B3 a beach towel arrangement known, being provided on the bed surface with sand fillable corner pockets and a head storage bag.

From the generic international application WO 03/103462 A1 is a beach towel arrangement with several sand pockets known, which are arranged at the corners or along the peripheral edges. Furthermore, a head bag is available, which is also filled with sand.

From the US patent US 6,192,536 B1 is a beach towel arrangement with several sand-filled corner pockets and a bag for a pillow known.

From the US patent application US2006 / 0117480 A1 is a beach towel arrangement known, at the ends of each sand-filled hoses can be taken in an openable envelope. Furthermore, the beach towel assembly has a receiving pocket for a pillow.

From the EP 2 850 979 A1 is a beach towel arrangement with several pockets known. A head bag is filled with a pillow, cloth, or other suitable object.

From the other pamphlets US2006 / 0272092 A1 . US2006 / 0024471 A1 . US2015 / 0013065 A1 and US 4,654,906 A Other beach towel arrangements are known with corner pockets, which are filled with sand.

However, these beach towel arrangements are not optimally designed, since either only corner pockets can be weighted, so that there is no sufficient resistance to the blowing or folding of the beach towel arrangement in the case of a stronger wind buffet. Furthermore, the sand pockets are not easy to fill.

The invention is therefore based on the object, the above-mentioned beach towel arrangements in such a way and further, so that the handling of the beach towel arrangement is improved.

This object of the invention is now achieved by a beach towel assembly with the features of claim 1.

The beach towel arrangement according to the invention has at least one sand bag, wherein the sand bag or the sand pockets are each assigned a filling area with which the sand bag can be easily filled. The filling of the sand is facilitated by the open filling area. Filling is done very easily by inserting one or more handfuls of loose sand into the fill area, followed by lifting the beach towel assembly so that the sand simply slips from the fill area into the sand pocket. A slight shaking or shaking can assist this process. For this purpose, can be attached to the cloth cloth assembly, in particular at the top and / or bottom end tabs and / or eyelets to facilitate the lifting and shaking or shaking.

Preferably, the beach towel assembly with two parallel, at least partially, along the Long sides running sand pockets equipped, with the sand pockets are attached to the back of the beach towel arrangement. The sand pockets extend in particular over more than 50% of the longitudinal side, preferably over more than 70% of the longitudinal side

It is particularly preferred that the filling area opening into the sand pocket is funnel-shaped in the direction of the sand pocket. This makes it particularly easy to get in or out of sand. The sand pockets are tubular in the filled state, in particular formed with a cylindrical cross-section.

Particularly preferably, the outer contours of the lower filling region extending from the upper end to the lower end are meander-shaped in the transition to the facing sand pocket and / or the outer contours in the starting region of the facing sand pocket. The outer contours can be formed by seams. The sand can thus particularly easily potential hindering force bridges, by generating different sliding speeds, dissolve and improve the sliding speed of the sand. A sandstow in the beginning of the sandbag is thus prevented.

Preferably, these sand pockets are formed by the connection of at least one additional material layer with the lying surface. In particular, the compound is designed as a seam, glued and / or sewn. The sand pockets can be formed by two layers of material, which are connected to the lying surface.

The filling area associated with the sandbag has, on the one hand, a filling opening and, on the other hand, the filling area opens into the sandbag. In a preferred embodiment, the filling area or the filling opening is formed at the top or bottom end of the beach towel arrangement.

If necessary, the filling opening can be closed by means of a closure means. Likewise, the end of the sandbag facing away from the filling area can be closed and opened with a closure element in order to facilitate the emptying of the sandbag. For this purpose, the beach towel arrangement can be raised at the tabs attached to the foot ends and the sand can slide out through the filling opening again. Thus, no sand is taken home.

The maximum cross-sectional area of the filling opening is greater than the average cross-sectional area of the sandbag in the filled state. This has the advantage that the filling is easier.

The volume of the fill area is at least 50% of the volume of the particular sand bag in communication. As a result, the filling area must be completely filled up to a maximum of twice and the beach towel arrangement raised to completely fill the sandbag. It is particularly preferred here if the volume of the filling area corresponds to 0.9 times to 1.1 times the volume of the sand bag. As a result, the beach towel arrangement only needs to be raised once to completely fill the sandbag with sand sands. Particularly preferably, the volume of the filling corresponds to the volume of the sand bag, whereby the filling only needs to be performed once or the filling needs only once filled and the beach towel assembly can be raised only once to achieve the necessary filling of the sand bag. It is furthermore advantageous that the sand pockets can thus neither be overfilled (too heavy) nor underfilled (several filling operations).

Preferably, the volume of the sand bag is between 500 ml and 1000 ml, in particular 650 ml to 750 ml. With an average sand density of 1600 kg / m ³ , the beach towel arrangement according to the invention, depending on the version, fully filled, approximately between 1.5 and 2 , 5 kg of sand. This weight can be easily lifted even by less powerful people or children.

The filled, now cylindrical sand pockets complain the beach towel arrangement now sufficient and protect them from flying away or folding, even by strong gusts of wind. Furthermore, a partial immersion in the loose ground, caused by over or passing people avoided. Furthermore, the sandbags provide protection against piles of sand or sand caused by other influences.

According to the dimensions of the sand pocket and the filling area, at least one additional material layer is connected to the lying surface, preferably on the back of the lying surface. Particularly preferably, the tubular sand pocket is formed by two layers of material, corresponding to the dimensions of the sand pocket and the filling area. The respective material layer may consist of a sliding material, such as finely woven, in particular smooth cotton or plastic fabric or plastic blended fabric. In particular, materials which have a smooth surface, such as synthetic polymers, in particular polyester or polyamide, are preferred. Due to the choice of material, the sand can easily slip into the sandbag and accordingly out again after use and thus remains at the place of use.

There are now a variety of ways to design the beach towel arrangement according to the invention in an advantageous manner and further.
