Definitions

  • the invention relates to a multipurpose bath towel of substantially rectangular shape, which serves as a bed mat, as a cape and for holding bathing accessories and for this purpose has a pulling element threaded through an end face, which can be closed in a ring shape with the formation of a narrowed shoulder pad around a neck opening, and with a pocket is provided in the area of the other end of the bath towel.
  • Such a multi-purpose bath towel is already known (US-A No. 2420344).
  • the traction element on one end of the bath towel is formed by a cord that extends through a narrow hemstitch from which it protrudes at both ends.
  • a pillow pocket is also sewn on, which can be closed at the side and holds a loose pillow.
  • Two further closable pockets are sewn onto the two bath towel corners at the other end of the bath towel.
  • a narrow hemstitch with a cord can also be provided on this bath towel end.
  • the well-known multi-purpose bath towel is suitable as a bed mat without restriction and can also hold bathing utensils and other objects so that they are not easily lost.
  • the function as a cape is only fulfilled to a limited extent, since in this case the bath towel is gathered only at its upper end and possibly also at its lower end, but the cape remains open over its entire length or height.
  • the known cloak is therefore unsuitable as a changing cloak, within which the bathing suit can be put on or changed.
  • the bath towel which is comparatively large to fulfill the lying function and the cloak function, proves to be unwieldy or impractical if it is to be transported without being worn as a cloak.
  • the bath towel is folded into a package by repeated folding, in which the bath towel is wrapped several times around the end provided with the cord, so that it can be worn like a handbag on the cord after the ends of the cord have been knotted .
  • Proper folding of the bath towel is difficult, however, because the bath towel cannot be folded flat, but must first be pushed together to a suitable width on the cord.
  • there is a great risk that the folded bath towel will not maintain the folded shape while it is being worn, so that the last folded bath towel will soon hang down to the floor. This tendency is reinforced by the weight of items in the pockets.
  • a mattress pad which is to be worn as a cape at the same time and has a transverse slot in the middle for pushing the head through it, on its longitudinal edges with clasps in the form of snap button halves which are pressed together after the cape has been put on. so that a cloak is formed which is closed at least at medium height in the circumferential direction (US-A No. 3013274).
  • a bag is formed by folding one end of the towel back onto the bath towel and sewing it with its longitudinal edges, the folded end edge of the towel not being sewn on, so that a pocket opening remains here, and it extends across the entire width the bag extending pocket is divided by longitudinal seams.
  • the length of the cape only corresponds to approximately half the length of the bath towel, so that a comparatively short cape results which is not suitable as a changing cape.
  • no measures are provided for folding, tying and carrying the bath towel.
  • the invention has for its object to improve the multi-purpose bath towel of the type mentioned so that it can be easily folded and transported if all of its functions are performed properly, without the risk that parts of the bath towel will slide out of the folded bundle shape.
  • this object is achieved in that carrying eyes are arranged on the longitudinal edges of the bath towel provided with interacting closures, which form rows of carrying eyes when the bath towel is folded together by longitudinal folding and transverse folds, and that at least one supporting member which can be threaded through the carrying eye rows is provided and which folds the folded form Secures bath towels and forms a carrying handle or shoulder strap.
  • a certain folding is predetermined by the rows of support eyes to be formed, which leads to a folding of the bath towel down to manageable dimensions.
  • a support member which is different from the pulling member which serves to form the shoulder rest and which can be of a suitable length and strength or strength and is threaded through the rows of support eyes, so that the support eyes are held together and therefore also are fixed in their mutual position to the folding portions of the towel attached to the eyelets.
  • the support member has an adapted length, which leads to a carrying handle or shoulder strap with which the folded bath towel is held at an altitude that is favorable for walking.
  • the pocket is expediently formed by a hemstitch extending across the width of the bath towel, which has a width corresponding to the transverse fold width and is provided at both ends with two eyelets, so that a total of two rows of eyelets are created when the bath towel is folded together.
  • This design with a hemstitch accessible as a pocket from at least one end not only leads to simple manufacture, in which the double-layer hemstitch is suitable as a headrest when used as a lying pad, in particular the transverse fold is predetermined by the hemstitch, which is caused by progressive folding the hemstitch can be done.
  • Objects in the cavity pocket are particularly well protected by the bath towel.
  • the lacing by means of two rows of eyebolts is particularly suitable because a handy bundle or package is formed which can be carried comfortably like a bag with the handle or shoulder strap extending between the two rows of eyebolts.
  • the two support eyes provided on a longitudinal edge of the bath towel in the region of the hemstitch are preferably formed by larger support rings and two support members are provided which have snap hooks at their ends for hanging in the support rings.
  • the snap hooks can be easily connected to the support rings, the support members possibly being able to be guided through the support rings several times, which is useful after each wrapping of the folded bath towel.
  • each support member is so long that it forms a shoulder strap between the two support rings after wrapping the folded bath towel, the implementation through the one support ring and hanging in the other support ring. In this way, the folded bath towel can be carried and carried around with your hands free. If necessary, however, the remaining length of the support member between the two support rings can also be shortened by additional wrapping around the folded bath towel so that a carry handle is produced instead of a shoulder strap.
  • the support rings are attached to the bath towel so that they can rotate freely about a radial axis. This facilitates the threading or passing through of the support member, with the support rings adjusting so that the support members run easily through the support rings.
  • the multi-purpose bath towel 1 which is made for example from a terry cloth, has two lateral longitudinal edges 2 and 3 and two end faces 4 and 5. On the long side 2 a number of similar push button halves 6 are arranged, and in a corresponding manner, push button halves 7 cooperating with the push button halves 6 are arranged along the longitudinal edge 3.
  • the width of the bath towel 1 is dimensioned such that after connecting the snap fastener halves 6 to the snap fastener halves 7, a tube-like changing cloak is created which gives a person sufficient freedom of movement within the cloak for changing.
  • the width can be, for example, about 150 to 180 cm or a little more.
  • the rows of snap fastener halves 6 and 7 end at a distance from the end face 4 and at a greater distance from the end face 5.
  • another fastener for example a Velcro fastener, can also be provided.
  • a standing hem 8, for example 5 cm wide, and a narrow hemstitch 9 are formed, through which a pulling element in the form of a cord 10 is guided, which is used to gather the bath towel 1 in the area of the end face 4 and in the circumferential direction close, so that a neck opening is formed, which is surrounded by a narrowed shoulder pad so that the bath towel 1 can be used as a changing cloak after closing the push buttons 6 and 7.
  • the fabric forming the bath towel 1 is turned over with a length of, for example, approximately 30 cm and sewn by means of a seam 11 to form a hemstitch 12 which forms a pocket which extends over the entire width of the bath towel 1.
  • the end of the hemstitch 13 in the region of the longitudinal edge 3 is firmly closed by a seam.
  • the other end 14 of the hemstitch 12 is provided with a closure 15, for example a zipper, through which the pocket-like hemstitch 12 is accessible, so that objects can be stored and transported therein.
  • Slightly protruding eyebolts 16 are fastened along the longitudinal edge 2, and 3 eyelets 17, which are aligned with the eyelets 16, are fastened in a corresponding manner to the longitudinal edge 3.
  • two carrying eyes 16 are provided, which are opposed by larger carrying rings 18 instead of the carrying eyes 17, each of which is fastened to the bath towel 1 by means of a shaft 19 rotatable about its axis.
  • the lifting eyes 16 and 17, are arranged in groups of two with a distance between the two lifting eyes 16 and 17, which corresponds to the distance between the two lifting eyes 16 and corresponds to the two support rings 18 in the region of the hemstitch 12. Furthermore, constant distances are provided between the groups of two.
  • Each support member 20 consists of a cord, which can be about 2 m long and is provided at its ends with snap hooks 21 and 22.
  • Fig. 3 shows an inflatable air cushion 23 of rectangular shape, which is adapted to the dimensions of the hemstitch 12, can be inserted into the hemstitch 12 through the closure 15 and therefore enables inflation of the hemstitch 12 to an extent that the hemstitch 12 is suitable Head support forms when the bath towel is in the flat, spread position shown in FIG. 1 and serves as a bed support.
  • the inflation valve, not shown, of the cushion 23 is provided on a narrow side, so that it is located near the closure 15.
  • Fig. 4 shows a moisture-impermeable underlay 24, which consists of a thin film and has the dimensions of the bath towel 1, the entire length including the hemstitch 12 is about 140 to 175 cm or a little more, so that a length adapted to the body size for the locker room cape.
  • the pad 24 serves to keep dirt and soil moisture away from the bath towel 1.
  • the pad 24 can also be easily folded up and accommodated and transported in the pocket-like hemstitch 12.
  • the loose design is, just as with the pillow 23, advantageous in terms of washing the bath towel 1.
  • the bath towel 1 can be easily transported if it is put together like a packet and tied up with the aid of the two supporting members 20.
  • the bath towel 1 is folded around the central longitudinal folding line 25, which is indicated by dash-dotted lines.
  • the eyelets 16 come into congruence with the eyelets 17 and the rings 18.
  • the cross-fold lines 26, 27 and 28, which are also indicated by dash-dotted lines, and the seam 11 at the inner end of the hemstitch 12 a package is formed in which all the eyelets 16 and 17 essentially coincide with one or the other support ring 18, so that two rows of support eyes are formed.
  • a support member 20 with one snap hook 21 is now suspended in each support ring 18, whereupon the support member 20 in question is first threaded through with the other snap hook 22 through the support eyelets of the relevant support eyelet row and passed through the support ring 18 concerned with the bath towel package and with the snap hook 22 is attached to the other support ring 18. If necessary, the bath towel package can be folded again about a longitudinal line (not shown) and thereby reduced to a handy size, the support member then being wrapped twice around the bath towel package. In this way, the length of the cords or support members 20 between the two support rings 18 can be varied to form either a handle or a shoulder strap.
