For this purpose, the wiping part (2) on its the wiper side (3) facing away from back (4) formed in particular as a pocket-shaped receptacle (8) holder (6) and between the wiping part (2) and the holder (6) is a gap (7 ) provided as a receptacle (8) for the hand (5) of the user during the wiping process (see Fig.1).

Description

The invention relates to a welding cloth for wiping off sweat, in particular in sports activities with a wiping side and a back having, in particular cloth-like wiping part, which is movable at least during the wiping operation with one hand of the user.

There are various tools for recording and especially for wiping sweat especially during sports activities known. For example, one knows headbands, pulse welding bands, headscarves, appropriately equipped helmets, wipes and so on, but often can absorb the sweat only where they are worn. Wiping off sweat, especially over a large area, is at best inadequately possible. It is not uncommon to simply use your hands, which will then get wet and worsen the grip of the handlebar when you exercise on a bicycle.

Out DE 299 17 216 U1 is a welding cloth known which provided in a bag is, but especially after use must be put back, which is hardly possible, at least in some sports.

Especially when exercising with a bicycle, the process of sweat-wiping must be as short as possible, so that the driving safety does not suffer.

There is therefore the task of creating a welding cloth of the type defined, with which sweat can be wiped effectively and quickly, especially in the face well, without taking too much time.

This object is achieved by the means and features of claim 1. Advantageous developments and refinements are listed in the dependent claims.

The welding cloth according to the invention is therefore characterized in that the wiping part on its side facing away from the wiping side has a holder for the user's hand and that between the wiping part and the holder a gap is arranged as a receptacle for the user's hand during the wiping process.

Through this design of the welding cloth, the user can comfortably retract with one hand into the receptacle and thereby arrange the wiping part of the welding cloth on his palm, while the holder comes to rest on the back of the hand. Accordingly convenient can be wiped with the provided with the welding cloth according to the invention hand, for example, the face without the hand to hold the welding cloth or the wiping part closed and a part of the wipe must be kept in the closed hand. Accordingly, the contours of the Face are wiped, with practically the entire surface of the welding cloth is available in an advantageous manner.

A particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention can provide that the holder is formed on the back of the wiper part so flat that it forms a pocket-shaped receptacle for the user's hand with the wiping part. In order to wipe the face with this welding cloth, for example, the user only needs to insert his open hand into the pocket-shaped receptacle, whereby the welding cloth is connected to the user's hand so that the hand can carry out the corresponding wiping movements and the welding cloth is used over a large area.

The pocket-shaped receptacle can be closed on the outside at its edge or circumference except for an engagement opening for insertion of the user's hand, in particular connected or sewn to the wiping part. In this way, it is determined from the outset how the hand and the wiping part come to lie in use relative to each other and compared to an arrangement in which the receptacle is formed only as a strip, it is avoided that the hand too deep relative to the holder is moved and thereby passes beyond the wiper part. A closed pocket-shaped receptacle ensures from the outset that the wiping part of the using hand is assigned in the desired manner so that the palm and the wiping side come to lie in the desired mutual relation and position.

The length of the engagement opening in the pocket-shaped receptacle, so the dimension of this transverse to the insertion engagement opening, can be less than that in Extending direction behind it, approximately parallel to the engagement opening oriented cross-sectional length of the pocket-shaped receptacle and be dimensioned such that a spread hand fits into it. The user can thus easily insert the hand through the engagement opening and then spread the hand or fingers of this hand, whereby the welding cloth is sufficiently firmly connected to this hand, so as not to be accidentally stripped off. Nevertheless, the procedure is simple and convenient and can be carried out very quickly. Once the wiping process has been completed, the hand can be easily pulled back out of the pocket-shaped receptacle by folding the fingers together.

Belonging to the periphery of the pocket-shaped receptacle edge region, which rests inside when using the thumb of the user, can end with a corner arranged in the insertion direction, then the scope continues and in the spread thumb of the user at least laterally and optionally with its tip is fixable. The pocket-shaped receptacle thus has not expediently a continuous arcuate circumference, which would also be possible, but it can be designed such that especially the spread thumb forces can transmit in its extension direction on the inside of the receptacle and its edge especially by the thumb may be enclosed on the outside and at its end in an approximately angular boundary of the pocket-shaped receptacle.

For ease of use, especially in sports activities with room changes such as sporting activities on a bicycle or by running or inline skating, it may be helpful and advantageous if the towel has a fastening and / or suspension device for provision in a starting position when not in use , The user can insert his hand comfortably and practically without loss of time in the pocket-shaped receptacle and use the provided welding cloth with such an arrangement.

It is particularly advantageous if the attachment and / or suspension device for the welding cloth has at least one elastic return element or is designed as such, with which the welding cloth is automatically moved back to its original position. The welding cloth can thus be suspended at a favorable location, for example, be it on the body or a carried object or provided on the sports equipment so that the user insert his hand in the pocket-shaped receptacle and then the welding cloth against the restoring force of the elastic return member to his Lead face and there can perform the desired wiping movements. Thereafter, he only needs to let go of this welding cloth or withdraw his hand again from the pocket-shaped receptacle, without having to carry out certain measures for further storage of the welding cloth, such as insertion into a pocket or the like. It is therefore considered to be a particularly convenient combination to provide the welding cloth with a receptacle for the user's hand and a mounting and / or suspension device having an elastic return element or is designed as such, to the user a convenient and quick handling to allow.

A particularly advantageous embodiment of the equipment of the welding cloth with a fastening and / or suspension device with elastic return element can provide that the elastic return element is a spring tension or has a spring tension, which is arranged between the welding cloth and an attachment point. Appropriately sized spring struts can be procured commercially, so that the Equipment of the welding cloth with such an elastic return element is particularly easy to carry out. In this case, such a spring tension can be selected, which develops sufficient return forces, but does not burden the user too much.

The elastic return element or the spring pull can in particular detachably engage that edge region of the welding cloth, which is preferably spaced from the engagement opening. Thus, the actual engagement area is not affected by the attachment of this return or Federzugs and the user can comfortably engage in the engagement opening and the pocket-shaped receptacle despite the attachment of this return element or Federzugs. It is therefore sufficient if the pocket-shaped receptacle extends only over part of the user's back, while the wiping part can cover practically the entire palm of the hand.

The attachment and / or suspension device, in particular the spring tension, may comprise a clamp or eyelet or holder, which is designed for attachment to a garment or belt or belt or to a sports equipment, in particular on a bicycle. Thus, the welding cloth can be accommodated by the user at a location that he can reach comfortably with his hand and from which he then spans or stretches the elastic return member when he wants to wipe his face and / or his neck in particular.

The edge of the engagement opening in the pocket-shaped receptacle can have a greater length than the part of the wiping part spanned by it and can be arched over the back side of the wiping part. Accordingly safe and easy, the user can insert his hand in the pocket-shaped receptacle, without having to observe this process. He can make the recording practically "blind" and then by spreading the hand and spreading the fingers also smooth the wiping part and make ready for the wiping process.

For a convenient engagement on the one hand, a large-scale design of the wiping part on the other hand and the best possible storage or suspension of the welding cloth, it is advantageous if the pocket-shaped receptacle covers a part of the wiping part and leaves a located in the insertion direction of the engagement opening part of the wiper part, at which can then attack the attachment and / or suspension. It may be sufficient if the pocket-shaped receptacle covers a fraction, for example half of the wiping part or three-fifths or two-thirds of the wiping part and leaves a corresponding last part free.

A favorable development of the invention, particularly with the special shape of the pocket-shaped receptacle in the region of the thumb of a user, can consist in that the pocket-shaped receptacle in the region of the little finger of a user has an extension with an oblique boundary behind the engagement opening. At this oblique boundary, the splayed little finger of the user can rest on the inside. Accordingly, the welding cloth is performed well with a spread hand, the thumb abuts the one inner edge and their little finger on the opposite inner edge of the pocket-shaped receptacle and thus also produces a positive connection between the user's hand and the welding cloth according to the invention.

In this case, the wiping part outside the oblique boundary of the pocket-shaped receptacle according to the insertion direction opposite side have a lateral broadening. This results in an adaptation to the palm in the area adjacent to the little finger, so that even there the hand is covered in use flat from the wiping part and sweat can be effectively wiped.

The pocket-shaped receptacle arranged on the wiper part on the outside can be designed as a net. It then allows a sufficiently strong connection with a particular spread hand of a user, but has the lowest possible weight and the welding cloth can dry better after its use in the meantime until further use.

Especially when combining one or more of the features and measures described above results in a welding cloth, which can be easily attached and hung by a user at a neat position of his clothes or on the belt of a carried backpack or on a bicycle, and in which he can easily intervene with one hand, for example, to lead it to his face and there to wipe sweat. He does not need to take his eyes off the track, for example, sitting on a bicycle and even if a first grip fails in the pocket-shaped receptacle, the blanket does not fall down, but is retracted to its original position. In this case, the attachment and / or suspension can be releasably connected to the welding cloth, for example via a metal eyelet and a carabiner hook acting on it, so that this attachment and / or suspension can be removed beforehand for washing the welding cloth.

It should be mentioned that the asymmetrical design of the Wiper element with adjustment to the thumb and small finger can be provided for both a right and a left hand, so that the user can choose whether he wants to have and provide the sweat cloth for the right or left hand or possibly both hands.

A total of 1 designated welding cloth is designed overall as a device with which a user comfortably with one hand, for example, in sporting activities such as riding a bicycle, running, etc. can wipe off the sweat. For wiping and picking up the sweat serves a cloth-like wiping part 2, which on the one hand has a wiping side 3 and on the other hand, a back 4 and can be moved during the wiping operation in a manner to be described by a hand of the user.

The wiping part 2 has for the hand 5 of the user on its side facing away from the wiper side 3 back 4 a particularly good in Fig. 3 , but also in other figures recognizable holder 6, their interaction with the hand 5 particularly well in Fig. 2 is recognizable. Between the wiping part 2 and this holder 6 is a mainly in Fig. 3 recognizable gap 7 provided as a receptacle for the hand 5 of the user during the wiping process.

This holder 6 is formed on the back 4 of the wiping part 2 over a large part at a distance from the formation of the gap 7 so flat that it forms with the wiper part 2 a designated as a whole with 8 pocket-shaped receptacle for the user's hand.

Especially when looking at all figures it is clear that this pocket-shaped receptacle 8 is closed on the outside at its edge 9 or circumference except for an engagement opening 10 for insertion of the hand 5 and is connected or sewn to the wiping part 2. A one-piece connection is conceivable. Especially when using different materials on the one hand for the wiper part 2 and on the other hand for the holder 6, however, a mutual sewing is appropriate.

Especially on the basis of FIG. 3 It is clear that the length of the engagement opening 10 in the pocket-shaped receptacle 8 is less than the located in the insertion direction behind, oriented approximately parallel to the engagement opening 8 cross-sectional length of this receptacle 8 and thereby dimensioned such that the spread hand 5, as in Fig. 3 shown, fits. By the spread hand 5 is in Fig. 3 the dimension of the pocket-shaped receptacle 8 parallel to the wiping part 2 clearly.

It shows Fig. 3 Also particularly good that the edge region of the pocket-shaped receptacle 8, which rests on the inside when using the thumb 5a of the user's hand 5, ends with a corner 11 arranged in the insertion direction, from which the edge 9 continues and in which the spread thumb 5a of the user rests laterally and also with its tip and can be fixed. Correspondingly well, the wiping part 2 can be spread under this hand 5 at this point.

At the same time one recognizes in Fig. 3 in that the pocket-shaped receptacle 8 in the region of the small finger 5b of the hand 5 of a user behind the engagement opening 10 has an extension 12 with an oblique boundary 13, so also the splayed little finger 5b inside finds a good investment and the total spread hand can keep the wiping part 2 smooth and flat and allows a comfortable and effective wiping movement.

It shows Fig. 2 , but also Fig. 1 in that the wiping part 2, outside the oblique boundary 13 of the pocket-shaped receptacle 8 opposite the insertion direction, has a lateral widening 14 which fits well with the palm of the user and ensures that the palm of the hand is completely covered by the wiping part 2.

Thus the hand 5 comfortably and as far as possible without mistake in the in Fig. 2 shown position in the pocket-shaped receptacle 8 can be brought, has the edge of the engagement opening 10 according to Fig. 3 a greater length than the spanned by him part of the wiper part 2 and is arched over the back 4 of the wiping part 2. The user can therefore easily insert his hand in a normal finger position with fingers touching each other in the engagement opening 10 and thus in the pocket-shaped receptacle 8 and then the fingers according to Fig. 2 spread to thereby determine the welding cloth 1 on his hand 5 enough to comfortably wipe the sweat, for example, from the face.

It emerges from all the figures that the pocket-shaped receptacle 8 only covers part of the wiping part 2 and leaves open a part of the wiping part 2 located in the insertion direction in front of the engagement opening 10. The dimensions are chosen so that the fingers to be spread at least partially or in accordance Fig. 2 completely fit into the pocket-shaped receptacle 8 and engage in use, but that the bale of the hand not one of the holder 6 or recording 8 covered part of the wiper part 2 touched.

This has the added advantage that the blanket 1 can have a fastening and / or suspension device, generally designated 15, for provision in a starting position when not in use, as is shown by way of example in FIG Fig. 7 is shown. This attachment and / or suspension device 15 has a befindliches in the embodiment in a housing 16 and therefrom extractable elastic return element, whereby the welding cloth 1 so automatically in the in Fig. 7 illustrated initial position is reset when the user has pulled his hand 5 out of the receptacle 8 again. In the exemplary embodiment, this elastic return element or the attachment and / or suspension device is essentially a spring tension, which is arranged between the welding cloth 1 and an attachment point 17 in the embodiment of the user. The attachment point 17 could also be, for example, on the sports bike.

The elastic return element or the spring pull engages in the embodiment of the edge region of the welding cloth on this at a holding lug 20 releasably and spaced from the engagement opening 10, so that these attachment and / or suspension device 15 does not interfere with the engagement in the pocket-shaped receptacle 8.

In the exemplary embodiment, this attachment and / or suspension device 15 or spring mechanism has an eyelet 18 as a holder, which can engage for attachment to a garment or a belt 19 or possibly also to a belt of a backpack.

The wiping part 2 and the holder 6 can be made of different Materials exist. In Fig. 5 is indicated that the externally arranged on the wiper part 2 receptacle 8 may be formed as a network, so that also results in a pocket shape, in which the hand of the user 5 according to Fig. 2 can intervene well, but at the same time saves weight and possibly moistened wiping part 2 can dry better between two uses.

Based on Fig. 6 It is shown that the asymmetrical outer shape of the wiping part 2 with the corner 11 for the thumb 5a and the extension 12 with oblique boundary 13 for the little finger 5b may also be mirror-symmetrical, so that it is suitable for the left hand of a user while the remaining illustrations show a welding cloth 1 for a right hand.

The user therefore has the choice between a welding cloth 1 according to the invention for right-handed people or for left-handers or can even carry such a welding cloth 1 for each hand.

It should be noted that the corner 11 on the one hand and the extension 12 with an oblique boundary 13 and the opposite widening 14 give the welding blanket 1 as a whole a heart-shaped contour that is adapted to the envelope of a hand with spread fingers.

The welding cloth 1 for wiping off sweat, in particular during sports activities, has an absorbent cloth-like wiping part 2 with a wiping side 3 and a back 4, wherein the user's hand 5 contacts the back 4 in the position of use. For this purpose, the wiping part 2 on its side facing away from the wiper side 3 back 4 has a particular designed as a pocket-shaped receptacle 8 holder 6 and between the wiping part 2 and the holder 6, a gap 7 is provided as a receptacle 8 for the user's hand 5 during the wiping process.

The welding cloth 1 is thus glove-like overall, but the hand is easier to insert and pull out again than usual gloves.
