Description

  The present invention relates to a face towel used as a steaming towel or used for face washing.

Face towels can be used for various purposes such as wiping your face after washing your face, rubbing your body and face when bathing, and covering your face as a steaming towel. However, the conventional towel is a rectangular thin towel, and when used as a steaming towel, the towel must be folded twice and covered with a thickness to cover the face, and there is no breathing hole, making it difficult to breathe I was using it with patience. Recently, steamed towel-like products with a horizontally long notch in the center of the towel have been marketed, and there are some cheap and excellent ones that can steam a face just by heating in a microwave oven for about 30 seconds. In addition, an invention of a face towel has been proposed in which a vertically long notch and a horizontally long oval-shaped notch are connected so that the nose can be drawn out.

  However, steamed towels with the above-mentioned horizontally-long cutouts can be used as steaming towels immediately after heating in a microwave oven and are inexpensive and excellent. However, the hot water for bathing is combined with the low temperature of 40 degrees and the thinness of the dough. A sufficient steaming condition could not be obtained. Also, if you add a lot of water in the bathtub, there is a sense of incongruity that the thin dough and breathing hole lose its shape due to its own weight, or your fingers get caught in the hole, etc. In addition, it is difficult to understand the orientation in which it should be used There was no inconvenience. It is difficult to understand what it is for, and there is a concern that it may be used for another purpose by an unknown family.

  Therefore, as a trial, using the above-mentioned ones, it was possible to obtain a good steaming condition even with hot water in the bath, and when three or more sheets were used repeatedly, although the heat retention time was extended, each breathing hole was out of shape and A gap occurred and it was stuffy and inconvenient. Therefore, when the entire periphery was sewn and used, many problems were improved, but the inner layer was difficult to wash and difficult to dry, resulting in other problems such as the generation of odor in a few days. It was also found that the more multilayered the better the steaming, but it tends to be filthy.

  In addition, the face towel disclosed in Patent Document 1 is easy and excellent in contrivance such as close contact with the gap between the base of the nose and the curved surface of the cheek. However, when steaming the face with hot water in a bath or using it for scrubbing the body or face, it is considered that there are problems similar to those of the steam towel with the horizontally long cutout.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a clean face towel that can obtain a heavy steaming condition even in hot water of a bath and does not feel uncomfortable even when used in face washing.

  In order to achieve the above object, claim 1 is characterized in that a breathing hole made in a mesh shape is provided in a towel.

  This eliminates not only the uncomfortable feeling but also the uncomfortable feeling when using the face washing such as a finger getting caught in the hole. The mesh fabric makes it easy to breathe and prevents holes from getting out of shape.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, a pattern including eyes and nose and a face is displayed on a towel provided with a breathing hole to remind the user of usage and usage.

  Various face towels with conventional breathing holes have been proposed, such as those with a horizontal cutout and those with a horizontal elliptical cutout under the vertical cutout. However, it was inconvenient to find out the shape and positional characteristics of the hole and judge the vertical and horizontal orientations while the shape collapsed due to moisture. Therefore, the orientation of the picture that looks like a face can be seen at a glance. Also, if the hole is just opened, it would not have been used or used, but it was reminiscent of being a face towel with a picture of the face, and there would be no fear of being misused by a family as a rag.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, a breathing hole is provided near the center of each layer of the deployable towel, and a slip prevention means is provided so as not to shift the position of the breathing hole of each layer.

  Even in hot water in the bath of around 40 degrees, in order to get a good steaming condition for a long time, it is necessary to make a heavy multilayer type that can take in a lot of hot water and hot steam, but the multi-layered type that is sewn together is difficult to wash to the depths. Since the problem that it is difficult occurs, it is possible to deploy and provide a means for preventing displacement so that each breathing hole does not become uneven. It is a sanitary realization of a multi-layered type that tends to be filthy. According to the third aspect, the multi-layer system can be realized without problems, so that it is not necessary to fold a towel at the time of use. .

  A fourth aspect of the present invention is characterized in that, in the third aspect, a picture such as an eye nose or a face is displayed on a towel to remind the user of usage and usage.

  In claim 3 which can be deployed and provided with a slip prevention means, if the holding direction of the top, bottom, left and right is wrong, there is a problem that the means for preventing the slippage of the breathing hole from working. is necessary. Therefore, it is possible to recognize at a glance by displaying a pattern imitating the face and preventing wrong use.

  According to the first aspect, there is an effect of preventing the breathing hole from being deformed while maintaining the function as the breathing hole. In addition, there is an effect of eliminating a sense of incongruity in appearance and a sense of incongruity in use such as a finger being caught in a hole. Moreover, although it is slightly, there exists an effect which heat-retains rather than a perfect hole.

  According to the second aspect, it is easy to guess that the face towel is used for the face, and it is possible to understand the orientation of the upper, lower, left, and right directions at a glance, and to prevent the use of the user in doubt or wrong.

  According to the third aspect of the present invention, the deployable face towel having the slip prevention means makes it easy to wash and dry, and a sanitary multilayer face towel can be realized. If it becomes a multi-layer type, it can take in much hot steam and maintain the temperature and humidity for a long time, so that it can achieve a good steaming condition even with hot water in a bath of around 40 degrees. As for the slip prevention means, when the upper side of the face towel is grasped, the top hole is sewn and the weight of each towel cloth acts to prevent the shift of the breathing holes by aligning the positions of the breathing holes.

  According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, it is possible to recognize the vertical and horizontal directions at a glance, so that there is an effect of preventing erroneous use in which the shift prevention means of the third aspect is not useful.

  As described above, when used as a steaming towel, it is possible to provide a clean face towel that can be sufficiently steamed even with hot water in the bath and that does not feel uncomfortable even when used in the face wash.

  Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the face towel 1 according to the present invention is provided with a breathing hole 3 in the vicinity of the center of a towel cloth 2 having four rounded corners, and a mesh cloth 4 provided in the same place. The peripheral edge of the face towel 1 and the peripheral edge of the breathing hole 3 are provided with peripheral stitches 5 and are sewn so as not to fray, although not limited as shown in the figure. The yarn material should be as soft as possible.

  The breathing hole 3 near the center of the face towel 1 is not limited, but the nose may be clogged, so it is better to provide the breathing hole 3 slightly below the center of the face towel 1 for mouth breathing. desirable.

  Moreover, when using it as a steaming towel, the direction indication 6 which gives the top and bottom and the right and left at a glance is given so that the breathing hole 3 can be used correctly without being mistaken so that it is correctly placed at the mouth. The direction display 6 is not limited to the illustrated picture, but the breathing hole 3 is viewed as a mouth or nose, and the design of the eyes and eyebrows is displayed above it by embroidery, printing, applique, embossing, etc. Can be considered. A face such as a cartoon character may be used, and it is desirable to have a design that reminds you that it is a face towel as well as knowing the correct orientation of the top, bottom, left and right without getting lost.

  The towel cloth 2 of the face towel 1 may be a one-layer type or a two-layer type as shown in FIGS. If this is not the case, there is no choice but to increase the degree of steaming by means of a further multilayer system, but in the case of the multilayer system, it must be equipped with means for keeping cleanliness, and this will be described in detail later as Example 1.

  The outer shape and size of the breathing hole 3 and the mesh fabric 4 may be oval or rectangular so that the breathing hole 3 and the mesh fabric 4 are not so hard to breathe. If possible, it is desirable to have a shape with a caress or harmony, such as a semi-circle that looks like a smiley mouth as shown in FIG. The mesh fabric 4 is preferably a mesh fabric 4 sewn so as not to fray the periphery as shown in FIG. Further, the pattern of the mesh fabric 4 and the size of the eyes are not limited to the pattern shown in FIG.

  Specifically, how to provide the mesh fabric 4 in the breathing hole 3 portion will be described with reference to a two-layer diagram including a one-layer method, as shown in FIG. In the two-layer type, as shown in FIG. 4B, a method of stitching between two layers can be considered. There is also a method of hot-melt bonding, but it is preferable to sew since the bonded portion becomes stiff.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, the pile weave 7 is not provided in the breathing hole 3 portion, and a method of integrally manufacturing in a mesh shape with towel warp 8 and towel weft 9 is also conceivable.

  When the face towel 1 shown in FIG. 2 is used as a steaming towel, it is a configuration in the case of using a heavy fabric that can realize a sufficient steaming condition even with a single-layer type or a two-layer type. Since there is a case where a heavy steaming condition cannot be produced, the multilayer face towel 1 and the means for maintaining cleanliness will be described together as an example to compensate for this.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the face towel 1 is configured to be developed by folding a two-layer type into two. When used, the steaming is supplemented with a total of four layers of thickness.

  The reason why this folding is possible is that when the periphery is stitched with a multi-layer system of three or more layers, the deep rinsing cannot be performed sufficiently, and when drying, the dryness is poor, and a raw dry odor or mold odor is generated. Since there is a hygiene problem such as easy, it is easy to develop, wash and dry. This is a means for maintaining cleanliness, and is not limited to a total of four layers.

  In this configuration, when the position of each breathable hole 3 of each towel cloth 2 that can be deployed is not in a state of being matched, it is supported for breathing. Therefore, means for preventing the position of each breathable hole 3 from being displaced is provided. Yes. As for the deviation prevention means, as shown in FIGS. 7 (A) and (B), a fastening stitch 10 is applied along the fold of the upper side, or both corners of the upper side are formed as shown in FIGS. 8 (A) and (B). A method of applying a several centimeter fastening stitch 10 along the line is conceivable. In the case of FIGS. 8A and 8B, reversible use is possible by turning the inside out.

  As shown in FIG. 9, when the upper side of the face towel is normally gripped and covered with the face, the weight of each towel cloth 2 and the fastening stitches 10 act so that the position of each breathing hole 3 is adjusted. The principle is that they are aligned, and as shown in FIG. 10, the face can be covered with breathing. The direction display 6 has an auxiliary role for smoothly functioning these principles.

  As other misalignment prevention means, although not shown, misalignment prevention means using Velcro (registered trademark), hooks, buttons, etc. can be considered at any location inside the deployable towel cloth 2.

  In addition, it is not necessarily limited as long as the face towel 1 is solid and there is little uncomfortable feeling such as the shape of the breathing hole 3, but as shown in FIG. It is desirable to apply.

  The face towel 1 according to the present invention can be sufficiently steamed even with hot water in a bath, and of course can also be used in microwave heating.
