Description

    FIELD OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention relates generally to an improved body towel structure, and more particularly to a body towel, which can be worn on a user's body to fully cover the user's body. While wearing the body towel, the user can still freely move without easy drop of the body towel.
    • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • A body towel is used to wrap a user's body after a bath, a swim or the like. After the user's body is wrapped with the body towel, a top corner of the body towel is jammed between the user's body and the body towel to keep the body towel hung on the user's body.
  • However, a conventional body towel is simply a large-size towel without any part that can be securely hung on a user's body. Therefore, the conventional body towel can hardly reliably wrap and cover the user's body. As a result, it often takes place that the body towel drops from the user's body to embarrass the user when making some movements.
  • It is therefore tried by the applicant to provide an improved body towel structure, which can be reliably worn on a user's body to fully cover the user's body. While wearing the body towel, the user can still freely move without easy drop of the body towel.
    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • A primary object of the present invention is to provide an improved body towel structure, which can be reliably hung on a user's shoulder or neck and worn on the user's body to fully cover the user's body. While wearing the body towel, the user can still freely move without easy drop of the body towel.
  • According to the above and other objects, the body towel structure of the present invention includes a wrap unit and at least one perforation formed on the wrap unit.
  • In the above body towel structure, the wrap unit is made of cotton fabric, nylon fabric, elastic fabric or any other suitable texture material.
  • In the above body towel structure, a first fastening section and a second fastening section are respectively disposed in two corners of the wrap unit. The first and second fastening sections can be fastened to and mated with each other.
  • In the above body towel structure, the first and second fastening sections are a button and a button loop or hook and loop fasteners.
  • In the above body towel structure, the perforation is formed on the wrap unit in adjacency to a top edge of one side of the wrap unit.
  • By means of the perforation and the first and second fastening sections, a user can wear the wrap unit with the wrap unit securely hung on the user's shoulder or neck to fully cover the user's body. While wearing the wrap unit, the user can still freely move without easy drop of the wrap unit.
    • BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
  • The structure and the technical means adopted by the present invention to achieve the above and other objects can be best understood by referring to the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment and the accompanying drawings, wherein:
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a preferred embodiment of the present invention;
  • FIGS. 2 to 5 show the use of the preferred embodiment of the present invention in a first state;
  • FIGS. 6 to 10 show the use of the preferred embodiment of the present invention in a second state;
  • FIGS. 11 to 15 show the use of the preferred embodiment of the present invention in a third state; and
  • FIGS. 16 to 19 show the use of the preferred embodiment of the present invention in a fourth state.
    •  DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
  • Please refer to FIG. 1, which is a perspective view of a preferred embodiment of the body towel structure of the present invention. According to the preferred embodiment, the body towel structure includes a wrap unit 1 and at least one perforation 2.
  • The wrap unit 1 can be made of cotton fabric, nylon fabric, elastic fabric or any other suitable texture material. A first fastening section 11 is disposed in a corner of the wrap unit 1. A second fastening section 12 is disposed in an opposite corner of the wrap unit 1 for mating with the first fastening section 11. The first and second fastening sections 11, 12 can be a button and a button loop or hook and loop fasteners.
  • The perforation 2 is formed on the wrap unit 1 in adjacency to a top edge of one side of the wrap unit 1.
  • Please now refer to FIGS. 2 to 5, which show the use of the preferred embodiment of the present invention in a first state. In use e of the present invention, the wrap unit 1 is spread out behind a user's back. Then, a side of the wrap unit 1, which is free from the perforation 2, is folded back over the chest of the user. Thereafter, the other side of the wrap unit 1, which is formed with the perforation 2, is further folded over the chest of the user and overlaid on the side free from the perforation 2. One hand of the user extends through the perforation 2 with the side formed with the perforation 2 hung on the shoulder of the user. At this time, the wrap unit 1 is worn on the user's body to fully cover the user's body. While wearing the wrap unit 1, the user can still freely move without easy drop of the wrap unit 1.
  • Please now refer to FIGS. 6 to 10, which show the use of the preferred embodiment of the present invention in a second state. In use of the present invention, the wrap unit 1 is spread out in front of a user's chest. Then, the side of the wrap unit 1, which is free from the perforation 2, is folded back over the back of the user. Thereafter, the other side of the wrap unit 1, which is formed with the perforation 2, is further folded over the back of the user and overlaid on the side free from the perforation 2. One hand of the user extends through the perforation 2 with the side formed with the perforation 2 hung on the shoulder of the user. At this time, the wrap unit 1 is worn on the user's body to fully cover the user's body. While wearing the wrap unit 1, the user can still freely move without easy drop of the wrap unit 1.
  • Please now refer to FIGS. 11 to 15, which show the use of the preferred embodiment of the present invention in a third state. In use e of the present invention, the wrap unit 1 is spread out behind a user's back. Then, the side of the wrap unit 1, which is formed with the perforation 2, is folded back over the chest of the user. Thereafter, the other side of the wrap unit 1, which is free from the perforation 2, is passed through the perforation 2. Then the first and second fastening sections 11, 12 in the two corners of the wrap unit 1 are wound over the user's neck from front side of the user to rear side thereof. Afterwards, the first and second fastening sections 11, 12 are fastened to and mated with each other. At this time, the wrap unit 1 is worn on the user's body to fully cover the user's body. While wearing the wrap unit 1, the user can still freely move without easy drop of the wrap unit 1.
  • Please now refer to FIGS. 16 to 19, which show the use of the preferred embodiment of the present invention in a fourth state. In use of the present invention, the wrap unit 1 is spread out behind a user's back. Then, the side of the wrap unit 1, which is formed with the perforation 2, is folded back over the chest of the user. Thereafter, the other side of the wrap unit 1, which is free from the perforation 2, is passed through the perforation 2. Then the first and second fastening sections 11, 12 are fastened to and mated with each other to form a hanging section 13. Afterwards, one hand of the user extends through the hanging section 13 formed of the first and second fastening sections 11, 12 with the hanging section 13 hung on the user's shoulder.
