Conventional bath towels are mostly rectangular cloths that are sewn around so that they do not fray. However, they have foaming and cleaning properties, and are effective for cleaning out areas that are difficult to reach and gentle on the skin. Bath towels and body washing tools that have been provided are proposed.
In this way, recently, proposals have been made for bath towels and body washing tools that combine cleanability, foaming, and gentleness to the skin, and consumer interest has been attracted to bath towels that have added value. ing.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-262868 Utility Model Registration No. 3078644 JP 2002-153396 A

The present invention is more excellent in the above characteristics, such as improving the foaming property, cleanability, and reducing the degree of skin friction due to the fiber of the bath towel, increasing the gentleness to the skin, and handling for keeping clean such as rinsing and drying. An object is to provide a simple bath towel.
As for skin, it has been elucidated that the inherent moisturizing function tissue is damaged by friction, making it more susceptible to external irritation, and it raises the skin age by causing spots, wrinkles, itching, etc. It came to be cautioned. Furthermore, it has been pointed out that similar problems such as xeroderma and pigmentation of skin other than the face are caused by skin friction due to daily bath towels, and reducing the degree of skin friction is healthy. It is an indispensable element for keeping healthy skin. For this purpose, a bath towel excellent in the function of reducing the friction caused by fibers by creating fine, foamy foam that improves the cleaning effect of the cleaning agent and holding the foam to promote sliding of the bath towel. Is desired.
The back dent between the left and right scapula is a part of the body that secretes sebum, but it is hard to wash and tends to rub repeatedly with a strong force. It causes skin damage due to friction and is a problem. It is also an object to provide a bath towel that solves these problems.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and the bath towel according to claim 1 is a bath towel having a rectangular base cloth made of a woven fabric or a knitted fabric . the middle cloth and the upper cloth at a substantially central portion, and polymerized in this order, and the peripheral edge in a state where the upper fabric and the the fabric was respectively loosened sutured to the base fabric, said the fabric and the base fabric And a gap is provided between the intermediate cloth and the upper cloth .

The bath towel according to claim 2 is characterized in that the upper cloth is loosened more than the inner cloth.

The bath towel according to claim 3 is characterized in that the inner cloth is composed of a plurality of sheets.

The bath towel according to claim 4 is characterized in that at least one of the inner cloths is mesh-shaped .

Here, the “loosening” of the present invention refers to a state in which the dimension of the upper cloth or the middle cloth is 1.2 times or more of the predetermined dimension of the base cloth before stitching, and is loose as a result after stitching. Say.

Using bath towels when bathing will rub your body with wet fibers, natural fibers,
Regardless of the type of synthetic fiber, the degree of friction on the skin by the bath towel fiber is large.
If the cleaning agent is bubbled with a bath towel containing a lot of moisture, the foam will easily disappear in large grains, and it will flow down instead of staying in the bath towel, so the fibers of the bath towel will come into direct contact with the skin and rub and damage the skin. .

Although it is known that cleaning agents improve the cleaning effect when foamed into fine bubbles, the fine bubbles are hard to disappear and are sticky and have excellent adsorptive power. This is because it adsorbs and floats dirt. In addition, the fine bubbles adsorbed on the skin surface, together with the bubbles held on the bath towel, promote the sliding of the bath towel, so that the effect of protecting the skin from the friction of the fibers is also exhibited. In addition, the fine foam that is retained on the bath towel creates cushioning when in use, so that the pressure of the hand holding the bath towel is not directly transmitted to the skin through the fiber. It becomes an element to protect.

From the above knowledge , according to claim 1 of the present invention, the bath towel is constituted by a base cloth , a loosened inner cloth and a loosened upper cloth, so that a solid soap, a liquid detergent, etc., regardless of the type of detergent, the stitches of the fibers of the upper cloth and base cloth, or a textured hole, in the gap which is thus formed on the cloth and the upper cloth in loose, water and a cleaning agent and air is efficiently They can be mixed and easily generate a large amount of fine bubbles . Further, the foam of course fiber surface bath towels and cloth interlayer and will be held in the two air gaps formed by the fabric in the allowed upper cloth which slackened slackened. Further, since the slack of the middle cloth and the upper cloth to the base fabric, the upper cloth and intermediate fabric tends to move on the base fabric, further promoting miniaturization of the foaming property and foam.

The fine bubbles have an excellent cleaning effect and are difficult to disappear, increasing the adsorption power, so that the foam towel retainability of the bath towel is improved. Furthermore, since bubbles also enter and adsorb on the irregularities on the skin surface, the bath towel holding the bubbles can slide well on the skin to supply fine bubbles, and the dirt can be lifted by the cleaning power of the bubbles. As described above, since the bath towel is gentle against the skin and the friction caused by the fibers hardly occurs on the skin, the cleaning effect and the comfort can be obtained without damaging the skin.

Furthermore , according to the present invention , a large number of bubbles can be easily and quickly generated by forming multiple layers of the base fabric, the slackened inner cloth, and the slackened upper cloth . Or bubbled with a cleaning agent to the multiplexing configuration of the octopus, then after discarding squeezing excess water containing reservoir other than frothing unit, thereby span went foam throughout washcloth. Thus, compared with normal use, adjusting the amount of water contained in the bath towel to reduce the amount of foam increases the fineness and viscosity, making it harder to disappear. to increase detergency since the adsorption degree of skin increases.
Foam quality and bath towel by enabling the adjustment of the moisture contained in the bath towel, by providing multiple components at the approximate center part of the bath towel and making it a foamed part, and squeezing and discarding excess water at other parts It is possible to improve the foam retention and improve the detergency and obtain skin-friendly cleaning conditions.

Further, in the present invention , the middle cloth and the upper cloth are superposed on the substantially central portion of the rectangular base fabric and the periphery is sewn, so that a bulge is formed in the substantially central portion of the rectangular base fabric, and the back is washed. This bulge supplies fine bubbles along the dents on the back to lift dirt, so that it can be washed without excessive force and the skin around the back is not damaged. Further, since at least one of the inner cloths is formed in a mesh shape, the foaming property and the foam retaining property are further improved .

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a plan view and a longitudinal sectional view of a bath towel according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. Here, the base fabric 2 is a plane rectangle, and an upper fabric is provided on the upper portion thereof, so that the whole is a double structure. The base cloth 2 and the upper cloth 3 are both stitched at their end faces 4. The upper cloth 3 is longer in length in the major axis direction and / or shorter in the minor axis direction than the base cloth 2, and when the end surface 4 is stitched, the upper cloth 3 has a structure that is more slack than the base cloth 2. If comprised in this way, the space | gap 5 will be formed between the base fabric 2 and the upper fabric 3, and this will become the space containing air.

FIG. 2 is a bath towel according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention, and only the end face side portion of the bath towel may have a double structure as shown in FIG. In this aspect, it is useful for adjusting the moisture content of the bath towel, in which a single layer portion of the base fabric 12 is squeezed and discarded after being foamed in a multilayer portion consisting of the base fabric 12 and the upper fabric 13, In addition, it is convenient to wrap the bath towel so as to wrap the whole with a single layer of the base cloth so that bath towels are combined into one.

In this embodiment, an upper cloth 23 is provided on the base cloth 22 in a square shape at a substantially central portion in the major axis direction of the bath towel 1. The end surface 24 of the upper cloth 23 is sewn, and the upper cloth 23 is sewed from the base cloth 22 and sewn.
Further, in this embodiment, the upper cloth 23 is provided on the entire surface of the central portion, but it is needless to say that the upper cloth 23 may be provided short in the minor axis direction at the substantially central portion.
Furthermore, the shape of the upper cloth overlaid on the base fabric in the case where the end surface side portion or the substantially central portion in the bath towel long axis direction is structured as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 is not limited to a square shape, but a rectangle, It may be oval or heart-shaped.

FIG. 4 shows a longitudinal sectional view in the case of Embodiment 4 of the bath towel of the present invention. Here, the base cloth 32 is a plane rectangle, and an upper cloth 33 and an upper cloth 33 are provided in this order on the upper part,
The whole has a triple structure. The base cloth 32, the middle cloth 36, and the upper cloth 33 have their end faces 34 sewn together. The upper cloth 33 has a structure in which the length in the major axis direction and / or the length in the minor axis direction before stitching is more slack than the base cloth 32 and the inner cloth 36. With this configuration, a gap 35 is formed between the middle cloth 36 and the upper cloth 33. This gap 35 becomes a space containing air.

  FIG. 5 shows Embodiment 5 of the present invention, and only the end face side portion of the bath towel may have a triple structure as shown in FIG. In this form, the water contained in the bath towel is squeezed and discarded after excess foam contained in the single layer portion of the base fabric 42 is foamed in the multi-layer portion overlapping the base fabric 42, the intermediate fabric 46 and the upper fabric 43 It is useful for making adjustments, and is convenient for wrapping the entire towel with a single layer of base fabric to assemble the bath towel together in use.

FIG. 6 is a longitudinal sectional view of a bath towel according to Embodiment 6 of the present invention. In this aspect,
An intermediate cloth 56 and an upper cloth 53 are provided on the base cloth 52 in a square shape at a substantially central portion in the major axis direction of the bath towel 51. The end surfaces 54 of the middle cloth 56 and the upper cloth 53 are respectively stitched to the base cloth 52, and the upper cloth 53 is loosened from the base cloth 52 and the middle cloth 56 and stitched.
In this embodiment, the middle cloth 56 and the upper cloth 53 are provided on the entire surface of the substantially central portion. However, it is needless to say that the middle cloth 56 and the upper cloth 53 may be short in the short axis direction.
Furthermore, the shape of the middle cloth and the upper cloth overlaid on the base cloth is not limited to the square shape when the end face side portion or the substantially central portion in the bath towel long axis direction is structured as shown in FIGS. Rectangular, oval,
It may be a heart shape.
Further, in Embodiments 4 to 6, the case where the inner cloth is constituted by one sheet is shown, but the inner cloth is not limited to this and may be constituted by a plurality.

FIG. 7: shows the longitudinal cross-sectional view in the case of Embodiment 7 of the bath towel of this invention. In this embodiment, not only the upper cloth 63 but also the middle cloth 66 is loosened. In this way, when not only the upper cloth but also the middle cloth is slackened, a gap 65 is also formed between the base cloth 62 and the middle cloth 66, and the space containing air is increased as compared with the fourth to sixth embodiments.
1 to 7 are woven fabrics or knitted fabrics, and the materials are natural fibers such as cotton, silk, hemp, semi-synthetic fibers such as rayon, synthetic fibers such as nylon, polyethylene, and polyester. Alternatively, they are made from a blend or union of them.
The material of the inner cloth is the same as that of the base cloth and upper cloth, and may be a woven fabric or a knitted fabric, or may be a porous molded product such as polyethylene.
4 to 7 may be mesh-like, and the mesh eyes may be round, square, or turtle-shaped, and the size may be 0, 5 to 8 mm. That's fine. 2-5 mm is preferable. This is because if the mesh shape is too small, foaming is poor, and if the mesh shape is large, fine bubbles are difficult to form.
Further, the end face side portion of the bath towel shown in FIGS. 4, 5 and 6 and the base cloth, the middle cloth and the upper cloth in the substantially central portion are formed by loosening both the middle cloth and the upper cloth as shown in FIG. Also good. In this case, as will be described later, the number of inner cloths is not limited to two and may be three or more.

When constructed as in Embodiments 4 to 7 in FIGS. 4 to 7, the upper cloth and the base cloth, the action of the fiber stitches or texture holes of the inner cloth covered with them, and the towel for the bath by loosening the upper cloth When the detergent is foamed, the air gap efficiently supplies air to mix with water and the detergent to promote foaming and adsorb the foam on the fiber surface. In addition, each fiber layer formed by the base fabric, the middle fabric, and the upper fabric has a function of containing and holding a large amount of foam. In the state that each fiber layer of bath towel contains foam,
As the foam is slid over the skin while maintaining the cushioning property of the foam, the foam moves back and forth between the fiber layers, further increasing the fineness, being hard to disappear, increasing the adsorptive power and improving the cleaning power.
Further, by loosening the upper cloth, the upper cloth 13 can easily move on the middle cloth, thereby promoting the foaming property and the finer foam.
When a soft material such as thin nylon fiber is used for the base fabric, it becomes a bath towel that can be applied to cleaning atopic skin and sensitive skin due to its excellent foamability and foam retention.
If the inner cloth is made into a mesh-like cloth and the inner cloth is also loosened as in the embodiment 7 of FIG.

Further, according to the sixth embodiment, in addition to the above-described effect, when both ends of the bath towel are held with the left and right hands, a bulge is formed in the substantially central portion by the upper cloth and the inner cloth, and this bulge is used when washing the back. It is easy to wash because it follows the dent, and there is no need to rub it repeatedly with great force, so that the skin around the back is not damaged.

FIG. 8: shows the longitudinal cross-sectional view of the base fabric of the bath towel of Embodiment 8 in the bath towel of this invention.
In this embodiment, both of the inner cloths are loosened with respect to the base cloth 72. Further, the inner cloth 76 (b) has a mesh shape. Of course, only one sheet may be loosened against the base fabric, or both may be mesh-shaped. The shape and size of the mesh eyes may be as described above.
By configuring the inner cloth in this manner, the above-described foaming property, foam retention property, and foam fineness are further improved, and thus the cleaning effect becomes even more remarkable.
Here, although two cloths are shown, the number is not limited to two and may be three or more. But,
If the number of padding is increased too much, the water content of the bath towel will increase, so the balance of the ratio of water, cleaning agent and air will deteriorate, and the function of efficiently generating fine bubbles will decrease.

As shown in FIG. 7, the inner cloth may be formed by slacking a flat one, but another embodiment 9 of the present invention is shown in FIG. As shown in the enlarged cross-sectional view of the inner cloth in FIG. 9, the inner cloth may be provided so as to be a ridge 7 or irregular gathering in the short axis direction or the long axis direction.
Such ridges 7 or gathers do not need to be present in the entire inner cloth, and may be provided with the heels so that the gathers are brought closer to the base cloth and upper cloth. If the inner cloth is configured to be a wrinkle, the area for adsorbing the cleaning agent and water of the inner cloth is increased, so that the foaming property and the foam retaining property are both good.

FIG. 10 shows an embodiment 10 in which the base fabric in the region of approximately 1/3 from the end in the major axis direction of the base fabric is made of a material different from other portions of the base fabric in each of the above embodiments. For example, the base fabric 2 (a) is made of a normal nylon material, and the 1/3 base fabric 2 (b) is made of a soft nylon material of fine fibers. By configuring in this way, it is possible to select a material to be used depending on a part to be washed by the body, such as a strong or weak part of the skin.
Moreover, in each embodiment, by changing the material of each area | region of a base fabric and an upper fabric,
Diversify skin feel.
In each of the above embodiments, the embodiment of the bath towel having a rectangular base cloth is shown. However, the shape of the base cloth is not limited to this, and may be a square shape, an oval shape, a heart shape, or the like.
Furthermore, although the place where the base fabric, the middle fabric, and the upper fabric of each embodiment are bound is stitched, it is not limited to this, and may be bound by heat treatment or the like. Further, it is not necessary to bind the entire peripheral surface of the inner cloth and the upper cloth, and a plurality of parts of the peripheral surface may be bound to the base cloth and fixed.

Next, the method of using the product of the present invention and the operation will be described.
When washing the body with the bath towel of the present invention, first wet the bath towel, squeeze it once and divide it into two or three equal parts in the long axis direction. By performing the following operations, a larger amount of more excellent foam can be obtained.
The bath towel of the present invention is wetted and squeezed once, and a cleaning agent is applied to the central multiple structure portion (however, in the towels of Embodiments 2 and 5, the multiple structure portion on the side of the end surface of the towel) and foamed with both hands. If it is left for a while so as not to escape, fine bubbles are easily generated in large quantities. Next, after squeezing and discarding excess water contained in the portion other than the multi-structure part containing foam, the central multi-structure part (however, in the towels of the embodiments 2 and 5, the end face of the towel) If you wrap and lightly wrap the whole around the multi-layered part of the side), the foam spreads over the bath towel and becomes a lump of spherical foam with cushioning foam. keep. This is a state in which the voids due to the fiber surfaces and the fiber layers of the overlapping base cloth, the loose cloth and the upper cloth of the bath towel are filled with fine bubbles that are difficult to disappear and have a viscosity.

Using the bath towel in this state, the body is slid by washing in the manner of rolling bubbles adhering to the skin surface.
When you start using it, the foam filled in the bath towel becomes a finer and harder foam by the cushioning action of the towel when sliding on the skin, and the foam moves back and forth above the fiber layer, and it becomes a fine foam with viscosity. The bubbles adsorb to the skin and stay on the skin surface, and the skin is covered with foam white.

Since the fine bubbles enter every corner of the uneven surface of the skin and have the effect of floating dirt, by supplying a large amount of fine bubbles to the skin surface using the bath towel of the present invention, the depression on the back where a lot of sebum is secreted It can remove dirt without strong friction. When washing the back, it is usual to wash with both left and right hands holding both ends in the long axis direction of the bath towel. In this case, the bath towel of embodiment 3 or embodiment 6 is useful. In this bath towel, the middle cloth and the upper cloth are positioned (however, only the upper cloth in the bath towel of the embodiment 3), the central part of the bath towel is swollen more than the other parts. By supplying a fine foam to the skin surface by sliding the bath towel bulge along the back of the back and sliding it up and down, the dirt can be lifted and removed. Therefore, since it is not necessary to rub it with force like a conventional bath towel, the skin around the back is not damaged. That is, by supplying fine bubbles to the skin surface without giving friction with the fibers, the dirt on the skin is removed by the cleaning power of the bubbles.

In the present invention described above, the base cloth has a structure in which only the four sides of the middle cloth and the upper cloth are sewn, so that the rinsing effect is good. It is easy to flow out, dry, and easy to keep clean.
