Definitions
- the invention relates to a holding device for towels or the like, a so-called towel holder.
- a towel dries best when it is being hung, because then the laminar air flow generated by the evaporative cooling can flow freely and fresh air can flow in unhindered.
- Brackets or arms, over which a towel can be placed are also common.
- a towel must be hung approximately symmetrically on these so that they do not slip. This requires several steps and a certain amount of attention. This position hinders the fresh air flowing in from above, but results in better drying than on the hook because there are no wrinkles. With large bath towels, such arms quickly become too long and unwieldy.
- a towel holder which is designed as a wall holder and has a slightly upward-pointing support arm, at the end of which a hemispherical rubber holding head is attached with a large number of spikes, so that one can speak of a "rubber hedgehog" .
- a disadvantage is that the rubber hedgehog is difficult to keep clean because of the deep gaps between the spines.
- the sticks protruding to the side prevent the towel hanging over the rubber hedgehog from arranging itself.
- the support arm can Catch the towel so that opening the towel and drying it is not possible.
- a towel holder according to US-A-5, 558, 307 has a spherical holding head which is provided with disc-shaped, vertically arranged ribs. These should prevent the towel from slipping off. Such a holder is a little easier to clean than one according to US-A-3,973,676; however, the ribs prevent the towel from being sorted independently.
- the aim of the invention is to provide a towel holder that allows the towel to dry quickly and that can be operated without much attention and with only one hand.
- an underlying spreading body with a smooth surface is provided.
- the holding head preferably has a non-slip surface or is hook-shaped or as a hook arrangement or the like. educated.
- a towel If a towel is grasped at any point on its edge and placed on the holding head, it will be, for example, by its non-slip surface held in place, the free-hanging part drapes itself by gravity evenly around the expansion body. If this is sufficiently large in relation to the intended towel, a fold is created, the folds of which are open enough to be well ventilated from both sides.
- the expansion body is preferably approximately concentric below the holding head and, viewed from above, is preferably approximately circular or arc-shaped, the arc pointing toward the operator side. Its surface is smooth and preferably spherically curved. Of course, other shapes are possible, provided that it is only ensured that the towel placed on the holding head can drape freely in a generous drape due to gravity.
- the surfaces of the expansion body that come into contact with the towel should be curved, preferably spherically curved.
- the sliding is further promoted if the holding head is relatively small compared to the expansion body and is significantly higher. This arrangement allows an operation that requires little attention and can be carried out with one hand.
- Holding head and expansion body can, for. B. each be a one-piece full-surface hemisphere, which is provided in its pole area with the non-slip surface.
- the hemisphere can with Cutouts etc. are provided so that, for. B. only the non-slip pole area, the lower smooth edge of the hemisphere, possibly only in the form of a residual arch, and a connecting area between these two parts remains.
- the holding head and expansion body in one piece, e.g. as a molded part or shell-like parts that are glued together or otherwise connected.
- the surface of the holding head can be designed in any way to prevent the towel from slipping.
- Polymers are preferably used which have a surface with high friction. Such plastics are used for handles and buttons that are supposed to be non-slip.
- the holding head then needs no or only an open profile with a small depth. Such profiling is self-cleaning due to the movement of the towel.
- the towel holder can be designed as a stand holder and for this purpose has, for example, a stand and a rod extending from it and connected to the holding head and / or the expansion body.
- the towel holder can also be designed as a wall holder. So that in this case fresh air also reaches the back, ie the side of the towel facing the wall, the holding body must be far enough from the wall. To ensure that air flowing in from above has free access, the towel must not hang over the wall too much.
- the support arm is preferably designed to rise steeply upwards and has a smooth surface. The towel then slides down a bit on this and, if you have placed it too far over the holding head, opens up an opening. This effect is further enhanced if the support arm is executed twice. This has two advantages: on the one hand, the opening is widened towards the wall and, on the other hand, the two arms prevent a towel that is thrown too far over the holder from overlapping on the back and closing again, thereby hindering the ventilation of the back.
- Holding head is self-cleaning
- 1 to 3 a side view, a front view and a plan view of a holding device for towels according to the invention in a first embodiment
- 4 to 6 corresponding views of a second embodiment
- FIG. 10 a perspective view of a further exemplary embodiment of a towel holder.
- the holding device 1 consists of a half spherical shell, which is provided in the pole or upper region with a non-slip surface that forms a holding head 2, while the remaining region of the full-surface spherical shell has a smooth surface and as an expansion body 3 serves.
- a narrow support arm 4 is connected to the spherical shell and is connected to the hemisphere essentially along a meridian; its lower edge lies approximately in the equatorial plane of the hemisphere shell, its upper edge extends relatively steeply upwards, and this edge, as shown, can be designed in the shape of an arc.
- the surface of the arm is smooth.
- the support arm ends on a mounting plate 5, with which the holding device can be attached to a wall or the like.
- two identical parallel support arms 4a and 4b are used instead of a support arm, which are connected to the hemisphere at a distance approximately corresponding to the diameter of the support head.
- the hemispherical shell is provided with cutouts, so that only the functionally essential elements remain, namely the pole area as holding head 2 and the outer lower edge, which is open in the area below the two support arms 4, as an expansion body 3.
- a connecting web 6 is also provided between the holding head 2 and the arcuate spreader body 3.
- the support arms 4 are only connected to the holding head 2 in this embodiment. For attachment to a wall, the support arms are connected to a mounting plate 5, as described in the previous example.
- the holding head and expansion body essentially lie on an imaginary or actual surface of a hemisphere
- other versions are of course also possible.
- the holding head as a small ball with a non-slip surface and the expansion body as an underlying and connected to the holding head closed or open ring.
- the holding head could also be designed as a thickening of a rod or the like protruding upwards from the expansion body.
- the size of the holding head and spreader body as well as their distance from each other are adapted to the towel to be suspended.
- Reasonable values are 1 centimeter to 6 centimeters for the diameter of the holding head, 8 to 20 centimeters for the diameter of the expanding body, and 8 to 20 centimeters for the distance between the holding head and the expanding body.
- a towel holder 1 in which the holding head 2, expansion body 3 and support arms 4 in one piece, for. B. is formed as a molded casting or from two interconnected half-shells.
- the expansion body has a smooth surface and is in the lower area with the two support arms 4 connected. It is more or less rounded or spherical. Starting from its front, the expansion body runs upward like a hook, this hook forming the holding head 2. The side of the hook 2 facing the towel to be placed can in turn have a roughened surface.
