Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a towel that can apply a skin protective oil to the skin at the same time as wiping off water when doing laundry work, washing hands, washing the face, etc. A skin protective oil or its emulsion is applied onto the dry fibrous material in such a way that the ratio of the applied area to the total area does not exceed 50% and that applied areas and non-applied areas are alternately present. The present invention relates to a towel for wiping water, which is coated in a pattern.

There are various causes of rough hands in women, but the most important one is degreasing of the skin surface due to water work and the like. Various creams are commercially available to prevent rough hands, but they have not yet been sufficiently effective, perhaps because it is troublesome to apply the creams after performing these tasks or washing hands.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a towel that applies a skin protective oil to the skin at the same time as wiping off water, and effectively prevents rough skin such as rough hands caused by degreasing the skin surface. be.

Another purpose of the present invention is to provide a fibrous material for towels.
To provide a towel that is coated with a skin protective oil or emulsion and has excellent texture and appearance characteristics.

The present invention will be explained in detail below based on specific examples shown in the accompanying drawings.

In FIG. 1 showing the cross section of the towel of the present invention,
A layer 2 of a skin-protecting oil or its emulsion is applied in a fine pattern onto a water-absorbing dry fibrous material 1. As shown in the plan view of FIG. 2, in this towel, areas 2 coated with the oil agent or its emulsion and areas 3 not coated with dry fibers exist alternately, and the area of the coated areas 2 is the entire area. It is applied so as not to exceed 50% per area, preferably in the range of 1 to 30%.

In the present invention, as the fibrous material, all fibrous materials that have water absorbency and shape retention properties are used, such as paper towel materials such as tissue paper made of cellulose fibers, various natural fibers, and/or Alternatively, non-woven fabrics, knitted fabrics, etc. made of synthetic fibers are used.

Oils for skin protection include oils conventionally used for skin protection, such as vegetable oils such as olive oil, wheat germ oil, and avocado oil; squalane; animal and vegetable waxes such as beeswax, lanolin, and carnauba wax; liquid paraffin, paraffin, and microcrystalline wax. Mineral waxes or oils such as tux and petrolatum; higher fatty acids such as stearic acid, higher alcohols such as stearyl alcohol, cetyl alcohol, lanolin alcohol, higher fatty acid esters such as butyl stearate, isopropyl palmitate, etc. alone or in combination used in combination.

These oils may be used alone or in combination with an oil and a surfactant, and may also be used in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion or a water-in-oil emulsion.

In the present invention, when the above-mentioned towel is used to wipe off water, water is absorbed by the dry fibrous portion to which the oil is not applied and the moisture is wiped off, while the skin protection oil is removed from the area where the oil is applied. It migrates onto the skin and effectively protects the skin. In this towel, oil-applied areas 2 and non-applied areas 3 exist alternately, and the oil-applied areas are provided in a fine pattern, so that at the same time as wiping off water, the oil agent for skin protection can be applied to the skin. Application is carried out uniformly over the entire skin.

In addition, because the oil is applied in such a fine pattern and alternately with dry, non-applied areas, the entire towel does not feel sticky when touched by hand, and has an excellent texture. Since it is applied as a pattern, it has the advantage of being beautiful in appearance.

In particular, when an oil is applied in combination with a surfactant or in the form of an emulsion, the emulsifying effect of the water on the skin allows the protective oil to be applied uniformly over the entire surface of the skin, and the towel is coated with a protective oil. Even when the amount of oil paint is relatively small, the advantage of a large protective effect can be obtained.

In addition to the dot-like pattern shown in Figure 2, the application pattern of the oil agent is lattice-like, striped, wavy, honeycomb-like, and
It can take any shape such as a dot shape or any shape such as a circle, square, or star shape. To apply oil to fibrous materials, oil is used instead of ink, such as screen printing, gravure printing, letterpress printing, planographic printing,
This can be done by applying a technique such as offset printing.
Incidentally, in order to visually emphasize the application pattern of the oil, a coloring agent such as a dye or a pigment that can be used in cosmetics, foods, etc. can also be included in the oil.

Depending on the type of fibrous material and application method, the oil layer 2 may be completely impregnated into the fibrous material, or may be partially impregnated and the other part adhered to the surface. Alternatively, it may be simply attached to the surface.

Some examples of oil formulations that can be used for the purposes of the present invention are listed below.
