【Example】

 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a towel 10 according to the first embodiment.

The towel 10 is made of a mesh cloth towel material which is formed of a natural or synthetic fiber such as rectangular cotton or hemp and has good foaming and water drainage. This towel material is folded at the center in the width direction to be folded in two, and the two-folded product is further folded at the center in the width direction and folded to form a long towel body 2 of four folds. One end is folded back to the other end to form a cylindrical horn 4 having an appropriate width.

The horn portion 4 has an opening 6 large enough to allow an arm to pass freely in the width direction of the towel body 2.

FIG. 5 shows a usage state of the towel 10 according to the first embodiment.

When using the towel 10 according to the present embodiment, first, pass the arm with a handicap through the opening 6 of the armpit 4 and bring the armpit 4 to a comfortable position from the wrist to the elbow. Hold the other end of the towel body 2 with the arm that can be moved freely.

With the towel 10 of the present embodiment, the person with inconvenient arm can be made by passing the person with inconvenient arm through the ridge 4 and grasping the other end with the arm with free movement. With the fulcrum as a fulcrum, you can comfortably rub your back while bathing without moving the hand of the handicapped person.

Further, since the width of the knuckle portion 4 is equal to the width of the towel body 2 and has a certain size, the contact area between the arm and the knuckle portion 4 becomes large and it is difficult to slip. In particular, since the knuckle part 4 is made of mesh fabric, it easily adheres to the arm and does not accidentally slip off the arm.

Further, since the opening 6 of the knuckle portion 4 is opened in the width direction of the towel main body 2, even when the towel 10 is rotated to the back with the arm passed through the knuckle portion 4, the towel 10 will not be twisted.

The towel material is not limited to the mesh material, and a normal towel material having a pile on the surface or other cloth may be used. A towel cloth is suitable for use after bathing or when wiping off sweat.

In FIG. 2, a towel 100 of the second embodiment is shown.

The towel 100 of the present embodiment is the towel body 2 of the first embodiment in which the string 8 is provided at the other end through a tubular portion. The base of the other end is squeezed with a decorative cord 12. With the towel 10 according to this embodiment, since the string 8 at the other end of the towel body 2 can be wound around and fixed to the hand during use, the other end of the towel 100 can be reliably gripped.

The method of use is the same as the towel 10 of the first embodiment.

In FIG. 3, a towel 200 of the third embodiment is shown.

The difference between the towel 200 of this embodiment and the towel 100 of the second embodiment lies in the material that constitutes the taol 200 and the molding method thereof.

That is, the towel body 22 of the present embodiment uses a normal towel cloth having piles, but the horn portion 24 uses a mesh cloth. The towel 200 is formed by sewing the separately-formed taol body 22 and the ring portion 24 together.

In the towel 200 of this embodiment, since the towel main body 22 and the horn portion 24 are separate bodies, it is possible to form them with different materials.

In particular, if the towel body 22 is made of synthetic fiber yarn and has a mesh-like knitted fabric or a material having an uneven surface, it has a high frictional force and is suitable for dusting when taking a bath.

However, it is preferable to use a material such as a mesh cloth or a net cloth so that the naruna portion 24 is used through an arm so that the towel body 22 and the naruna portion 24 are not slippery. You may use the same material such as towel cloth.

In FIG. 4, a towel 300 of the third embodiment is shown.

The towel 300 of the present embodiment has the towel body 2 of the towel 10 of the first embodiment provided with the round portions 34, 34 at both ends thereof.

In the towel 300 of the present embodiment, since the knuckles 34, 34 are provided at both ends and both arms can be passed through the knuckles 34, 34, it is particularly preferable for both hands. Even a person with a handicap can use the towel 300 without difficulty.

In the examples, the method of use during bathing was mainly described, but the idea of the present application is not limited to use during bathing and can be widely used in daily life.

This makes it possible to use a towel without moving the hand of the handicapped person, with the arm passing through the naanabe as the fulcrum.

Further, since the knuckle portion provided at one end of the towel body is in the shape of a cylinder having a certain width, the contact area between the arm and the knuckle portion becomes large and it is difficult to slip.

In the towel of claim 2, since the knuckle portion is opened in the width direction of the towel body, the towel is twisted even when the towel is brought to the back with the arm passed through the knuckle portion. Absent.

In the towel of claim 3, since the horn portion can have a sufficient width, it can be stably contacted with the arm and is less likely to slip. Therefore, even if only the hand of the handicapped person is passed through the thoracic region, it can be used for washing and rubbing the back without any problem.

In the towel of claim 4, since the horn portion is made of mesh fabric, it is in close contact with the arm and is hard to slip. Therefore, even if only the hand of the handicapped person is passed through the ridge, it can be used for washing and rubbing the back without any problems.

In the towel according to the fifth aspect, since the towel portions are provided at both ends of the towel body, even a person having a grip difficulty in both hands can use the towel without difficulty.
