TECHNICAL SECTOR

The invention presented consists of a towel that can be transformed into a large bag, a comfortable backpack or a bag (folded backpack) as well as in a practical match without the need for added external elements, only by incorporating some minimal accessories, strategically arranged, which facilitate their conversion in order to adapt to our need in each circumstance.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The towel is a very common textile element and very useful for the exercise of certain recreational activities and is essential for the pleasant enjoyment of our beach time. To date, certain inventions have been developed that have some coincidences with the one presented here; Its common objective is to try to get the most out of the large volume of the towel, which is precisely its great inconvenience, devising the precise mechanisms that offer us the possibility that it is used alternatively also as a bag or as a backpack and in This case, even as it seemed, thus avoiding the burden of having to carry numerous objects, which in addition to the weight of their weight, considerably limit our freedom of movement, so desirable in the moments of realization of these leisure practices.

There are some simpler solutions that enable the conversion of the towel into a bag, such as document ES1072422U. Others, of greater complexity: ES1033811U and ES 1118355U, attach the necessary accessories to the towel so that it can be contained in them and transformed into a bag with their help. From the first designs, which develop the idea of the mythical raincoat that folds into a tiny bag that facilitates its transport tied to the waist, to other more innovative proposals that try to expand the capacity of the resulting bag. The present invention moves away from this line of solutions and seeks to obtain a maximum of utilities and advantages with a minimum of affiliates, so it refuses to incorporate

new fabrics to the towel and play only with those small complements, essential, that make possible its multiplicity of uses, and that at the same time contribute aesthetically to its colorfulness.

In this way the proposed invention represents a clear advance within the objective pursued to allow the transformation of the towel into other elements such as the bag, the backpack, or the pareo, offering with the proposed method a plus of versatility, simplicity and security with respect to existing ideas, It is also worth noting the breadth that results in a large capacity for internal accommodation of objects in the resulting bag or backpack.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The making of the convertible towel into a bag, backpack or pareo is carried out by adding to a common towel, a series of accessories, which allow the transformation of the towel into a bag, a backpack (complete or folded bag type) and also in a beach sarong.

These complements are separable zippers (2), openings (11), handles (2) and beads (5).

Below is a detailed description of them as well! as the process of double folding and the insertion of the handles in the openings to achieve the conversion of the towel into a bag, a backpack or a pareo. An independent complementary bag is also included in the explanation of the proposed invention.

Separable zippers:

Are two; the zippers are located on the outer face of the towel (the opposite to the drying), sewn vertically and parallel to each other, equidistant from the side edges of the towel (The edges of shorter length thereof in a horizontally extended view of the towel , as it appears in the upper image of Figure 1) Zipper 1: Starting as a fastening point, from the upper edge of the towel (Figure 1- upper image) and from a point located at a distance from the upper left end of said edge, of a third of the total measure of said edge, the fastening of the zipper is started, which is carried out vertically by placing from top to bottom, first the part of the detachable zipper that carries the car or cursor thereof with its handle, sewing the textile band for its free end of teeth (in the image this free side of teeth is the right one) thus leaving the teeth free (side

left) to close the zipper, after double folding, in the way explained later; The box and the bottom stop of the first zipper would be located at the bottom, ready to raise the zipper. Below, continuing in a straight line following the vertical line of the first part of the detachable zipper 5, the second half of the detachable zipper would be located, the one that snows the piston or herrete, so that it coincides at the upper end, below the first half of the zipper and leaving 'A cm away from the box of said upper part Like the other part of the zipper, it will be sewn by the end of the tooth-free textile band, to allow, once the double folding, both sides coincide together and the zipper can be closed.

Zipper 2: The second detachable zipper is sewn in exactly the same way as the first detachable zipper, parallel to it and at a distance of one third of the length measure of the upper edge of the towel (Figure 1-image above), counted from the first zipper. Its arrangement will be in the reverse direction 15 to that of the first rack, that is to say above the detachable part of the rack containing the piston, which is located at the bottom of the line and below, the portion of the rack containing the carriage with the handle, coinciding with this element at the upper end of the line, and equally separated by both sides by a distance of 'A cm. Its two parts, as in the first zipper, the textile band of the free zipper is sewn by the part of 20 of teeth (in this case, the tooth-free textile band is on the left side and the teeth on the right), to allow closing.

The openings (Abt

There are eleven of them, ten of which are intended for the interlocking of the handles with the body of the bag or backpack or with the pareo and the rest, the upper closure of receptacle 25 (Figure 1-image above)

The openings allow small holes in the towel for the introduction of the beads and the hanging of the handles, thus allowing the transport of the bag or the placement of the strips of the pareo and can be made by making them in the corresponding eyelets or mini clips for the insertion of the 30 buttons or by partial sewing on them of mini rubber bands, for the insertion of other types of beads, such as wooden balls This would be the function of the first ten openings (Ab1-Ab10 ) whose location is detailed in the description of the drawings (figure 1-image above). On the other hand, the opening 11 (Ab11), which is also indicated in the marked drawing is made at the central point of the upper edge of the towel (Figure 1- Image above) and serves as an aid to the upper closure of the bag or

backpack after folding.

Once the above complements have been described, we proceed to the explanation of the double folding process, to later refer to the remaining complements, and to the conversion process of the towel in a bag or backpack as well as the process of enabling the pareo, to finally refer to the accessory accessory, the waterproof bag.

Continuing with the double folding process, the form of realization of the same is as follows: The first folding of the towel is carried out, according to the arrangement of the zippers, which serve as references as marks that aesthetically divide the towel into three thirds of the same size, picking up the lateral thirds under the middle third of the towel, so that the towel is reduced to a third of it with the other two thirds folded under it. The two zippers are positioned in this way by profiling the side edges of the towel as it appears in Figure 1- Average image.

Subsequently of the second folding, which consists of simply folding the towel in half, sliding the lower half under the upper half, so that the two parts of each zipper coincide one over the other and the closure of each can be carried out of the zippers, the body of the future bag or backpack is, a receptacle of a perimeter equal to one sixth of the perimeter of the initial towel (Figure 1-bottom lmagen)

The handles (Asi

The handles are two, they consist of two textile strips of approximately 2 cm wide and 1/3 length of the length of the longest side of the towel, they can be made of cotton fabric, wool, elastic fabric or even leather. (Figure 3)

The Beads (Abal)

The beads are five (Each of them can be single or double) and can consist of buttons (in which case they will be simple) or other beads such as wooden balls (in which case they can be single or double, depending on the size and aesthetic effect sought)

The beads finish off the handles, and are sewn on the ends of the textile strips that constitute said handles. In the case of the buttons by means of an ordinary seam, in that of the wooden balls, the auction is made by introducing a mouse tail cord through the holes of the ball, and then one of its ends knotting it, thus preventing is removed from the ball and the other end is sewn to the textile strip that acts as a handle)

Through them, the insertion of the handles in the openings is allowed, leaving the trinket (If it is a button, when it is inserted into the eyelet, and if it is wood balls, when doing it in the clip or mini rubber) inside the opening and enabling the placement of the handles, to be able to hang the shoulder bag or backpack. In case 5 of the pareo, the insertion of the beads into the openings results in the formation of their braces.

Towel conversion into a bag. (Figure 4)

The conversion of the initial towel, provided with the complements described in a bag, is achieved, once the folded fold of the exposed form has been carried out, and by means of the insertion of the beads of the handles in the openings, as follows:

The handle 1 is taken with the beads 1 and 2 and the bead 1 is inserted together in the openings No. 1 and No. 6. Subsequently the bead 2, from the other end of the same handle is inserted together into the openings No. 4 and n 7.

Next, the handle 2 is taken with the beads 3 and 4 and the trinket 3, 15 is introduced together in the openings n ° 2 and no. 5 and subsequently from the other end of the handle 2, the bead 4 is introduced into the openings n 3 and 8.

This results in a large capacity bag suitable for hanging over the shoulder.

Towel conversion into a backpack. (Figure 5)

The conversion of the initial towel, equipped with the complements described in a backpack, is achieved, once the folded fold has been done as shown, and

by inserting the beadwork of the handles in the openings, of the following

shape:

The trinket 1 of the handle 1 is inserted jointly through the openings n ° 1, n ° 6, n ° 8 and n ° 3 and in turn the trinket 2 of that handle 1 is introduced through the opening n ° 9.

25 Subsequently, the second handle is taken and the trinket 3 is inserted through openings n ° 2, n ° 5, n ° 7 and n ° 4 and then the trinket 4 is introduced through the opening n ° 10.

Once the backpack is obtained in this way, we can hang it on the back in the usual way of a backpack, introducing each of our arms for each hanging and throwing it on the back, or folding the backpack together with the handles and hanging it on a only arm, resulting in a smaller size boiso, and more suitable for certain circumstances. (Figure 6)

Towel conversion in pareo. (Figure 7)

With the towel extended horizontally so that the openings n ° 1, n ° 11, nB 2, n ° 5 and n ° 6 coincide at the top, it is wrapped around the body, leaving the opening n ° 11 in the center of the neckline. Next, we introduce one of the handles

jointly through openings # 1 and # 6, and the other handle through openings # 2 and # 5. Then we both pass them in front, and introduce them through the opening n ° 11, and pull them upwards, knotting them behind the neck. In this way we can make use of a pareo, which is formed by the same towel with an original touch 5 of dress by squaring the zippers on the side ends of it.

The existence of a large number of openings, whether they are made with clips, eyelets or mini rubbers, opens up a wide range of different possibilities to obtain a colorful pareo, open to the creativity of each one.

Complementary independent saguito. (Figure 8): A small bag of waterproof fabric 10 of 20x 20 cm is the perfect addition to be able to introduce in the towel, once we deploy the towel, those small objects that we want to keep and preserve from contact with the sand, such as the watch, wallet, mobile phone etc. as well as subsequently introduce into the wet baffle.

Said bag closes with the two strips described as handles for the bag or backpack, 15 so that they re-acquire a new and more convenient function, once the towel is extended and said strips are no longer necessary for transport.

This object is incorporated into the present invention, as an independent complement thereof that reinforces the usefulness of the invention contributing even better and more comfortable transportation of the objects. It is noteworthy that the double fold that is made 20 on the towel to obtain the receptacle of the bag or backpack, results in overlapping different layers of tissue, thus originating, as a result of the double folding six layers, and with it, five compartments with their own bottom and laterally closed together by the zippers, which are independent of each other, so they can be used for different uses, so that when housing each object 25 in its compartment does not affect the rest, with the advantage that the sand or moisture that can be incorporated, for example in the case of some t-shirts are not transmitted to the other objects of other compartments.

So far the project has been exposed, easily achievable, so that, a simple and unique towel, with a minimum of add-ons added offers a variety of 30 different uses: A large bag, a comfortable backpack, a smaller bag or a practical match . The ideas presented reflect by themselves the advantages of the invention presented. This invention differs considerably from others existing both in its concept, and in its mode of realization, since the aforementioned offered only a single alternative to the use of the towel as such, be it the bag or the backpack.

The present invention, in addition to welcoming the two possibilities, moves away from the projects of converting the towel into a bag by introducing it into a fabric added to the same towel, dispensing with this complement and choosing a minimum number of small accessory elements to offer a maximum of utilities

The increase in available space with the solution provided, which is also maximized with the existence of several independent pockets, represents a new advantage, to which it is possible to add that the two invisible zippers make a total lateral closure of the bag or backpack, which together with the upper closure formed by the opening and the corresponding trinket, they guarantee its total hermeticism and the consequent safety of the transported objects, while contributing to its colorfulness and originality.

We therefore reiterate the novelties and improvements of the present solution in terms of versatility, capacity, safety, simplicity and comfort.
