Definitions

• the invention relates essentially to a bath towel. Rectangular shape with cooperating closures provided on the two lateral longitudinal edges to form a tube-like changing cloak and with an annularly closable pulling element provided on one end face to form a narrowed shoulder rest around a neck opening of the changing cloak.
• a bath towel in which the closures of push buttons or a Velcro fastener can be formed, is already known. It serves in the spread out flat state as a bed mat and after connecting the two longitudinal edges as a changing cloak hanging from the shoulder, within which the bathing suit can be put on or changed.
• the known bath towel does not yet meet all requirements despite this double function.
• the known training proves to be difficult to transport and unwieldy, because other bathing accessories are usually taken along, which, like the bath towel itself, must be carried by hand or stowed in a special bathing bag.
• the bath towel has a uniform and comparatively low thickness when spread out, so that the lying underlay is also flat and unpadded in the area of the resting head, although here a local material reinforcement or. an increase in the underlay could improve lying comfort.
• the invention has for its object to improve the known bath towel with the least possible effort so that it is suitable for the safe transport of bathing utensils and the like in addition to the lying function and changing function, is easy to transport itself and also leads to greater lying comfort.
• the other - not provided with the changing traction element - front side of the bath towel has a wide pocket-like hem that can be closed at least at one end by a closure, in the case of only one closure the other end of the hem is tightly closed.
• a closable pocket extends over the entire width of the bath towel, in which objects can be stored, so that loss is not to be feared.
• two pockets can also be formed if a closure is provided at both ends of the hemstitch and the hemstitch is divided by a middle seam.
• this area is particularly suitable as a base for the head, especially since a more or less soft filling, for example made of textile material, can be placed in the pocket, so that the head is on the Bath towel lying person can be raised in the desired manner.
• a hemstitch width of about 30 cm, for example corresponds to a suitable pocket size as leads to a sufficient head contact area.
• the width of the double-layer hemstitch specifies a dimension that favors the folding of the bath towel into a package with a corresponding dimension. This alone provides an advantage in terms of folding and transportation. A significant improvement in this respect is achieved, however, if the eyelets are arranged on the longitudinal edges so that they form rows of eyelets through longitudinal folding and transverse folding of the bath towel, and at least one support element is provided in the form of a cord or a belt that can be threaded through the rows of eyelets .
• the bath towel folded into a handy package the closed hem of which may be filled with the objects needed for bathing, can be easily and quickly fixed in the folded handy shape, the entire unit being carried like a bag with the help of the carrying organ can.
• This provides additional security against loss or removal of objects from the hemstitch pocket.
• FIG. 2 shows a cord-shaped support member for use in the bath towel according to FIG. 1
• Fig. 3 is an inflatable pillow for use in connection with the bath towel of FIG. 1 and
• FIG. 4 shows a loose pad for the bath towel according to FIG. 1, shown on a smaller scale.
• the bath towel 1 which is made for example from a terry cloth, has two lateral longitudinal edges 2 and 3 and two end faces 4 and 5. On the long side 2 a number of similar push button halves 6 are arranged, and in a corresponding manner along the longitudinal edge 3 with the push button halves 6 cooperating push button halves 7 are arranged.
• the width of the bath towel 1 is dimensioned such that after connecting the snap fastener halves 6 to the snap fastener halves 7, a tube-like changing cloak is created which gives a person sufficient freedom of movement to change within the cloak.
• the width can be, for example, about 150 to 180 cm or a little more.
• the rows of snap fastener halves 6 and 7 end at a distance from the end face h and at a greater distance from the end face 5.
• another fastener for example a Velcro fastener, can also be provided.
• a standing hem 8 of, for example, 5 cm wide and a narrow hemstitch 9 are formed, through which a pulling element is guided in the form of a cord 10, which is used to gather the bath towel 1 together in the area of the end face 4 and in To close the circumferential direction so that a neck opening is formed, which is surrounded by a narrowed shoulder pad, so that the bath towel 1 can be used as a changing cloak after closing the push buttons 6 and 7.
• the bath towel 1 Material with a length of about 30 cm, for example, was turned over and sewn by means of a seam 11 to form a hemstitch 12, which forms a pocket that extends over the entire width of the bath towel 1.
• the hollow acid end 13 in the area of the longitudinal edge 3 is firmly closed by a seam.
• the other end 1U of the hemstitch 12 is provided with a closure 15, for example a zipper, through which the pocket-like hemstitch 12 is accessible so that objects can be stored and transported therein.
• Slightly protruding eyebolts 16 are fastened along the longitudinal edge 2, and 3 eyelets 17, which are aligned with the eyelets 16, are fastened in a corresponding manner to the longitudinal edge 3.
• 3 eyelets 17, which are aligned with the eyelets 16 are fastened in a corresponding manner to the longitudinal edge 3.
• two lifting eyes 16 are provided, opposite to which 3 larger lifting rings 18 lie opposite the lifting eyes 17, each of which is fastened to the bath towel 1 by means of a shaft 19 rotatable about its axis.
• the lifting eyes 16 and 17, are arranged in groups of two with a distance between the two lifting eyes 16 and 17, which is the distance between the two lifting eyes 16 and the two support rings 18 in the region of the hemstitch 12 corresponds. Furthermore, constant distances are provided between the groups of two.
• FIG. 2 shows loose accessories for bath towel 1 , which serve the intended use of bath towel 1.
• These are two support members 20, only one of which is shown in FIG. 2.
• Each support member 20 consists of a cord, which can be about 2 meters long and is provided at its ends with snap hooks 21 and 22.
• Fig. 3 shows an inflatable air cushion 23 of rectangular shape, which is adapted to the dimensions of the hemstitch 12, can be inserted through the closure 15 into the hemstitch 12 and therefore allows inflation of the hemstitch 12 to an extent that the hemstitch 12 is suitable Head pads form when the bath towel is in the flat spread position shown in Fig. 1 and serves as a bed pad.
• the inflation valve of the cushion 23, not shown, is provided on a narrow side so that it is close to the closure 15.
• Fig. 4 shows a moisture-impermeable underlay 24, which consists of a thin film and has the dimensions of the bath towel 1, the entire length including the hemstitch 12 of about 40 to 175 cm or a little more, so that a length adapted to the body size for the changing cloak results.
• the pad 2k serves to keep dirt and soil moisture away from the bath towel 1.
• the pad 24 can also be easily folded up and accommodated and transported in the pocket-like hemstitch 12.
• the loose design is, as with the pillow 23, advantageous in terms of washing the bath towel 1
• the bath towel 1 can be easily transported if it is folded like a package and tied with the help of the two supporting members 20. For this, the bath towel 1 is folded around the middle longitudinal folding line 25, which is indicated by dash-dotted lines.
• the eyelets 16 come into congruence with the eyelets 17 or the rings 18.
• a support member 20 with one snap hook 21 is hooked into each support ring 18, whereupon the support member 20 in question is threaded with the other snap hook 22 first through the support eyes of the respective support eye row and passed through the support ring 18 concerned with the bath towel package and with the snap hook 22 is hooked onto the other support ring 18.
• the bath towel package can be folded again around a longitudinal line (not shown) and thereby reduced to a handy size, the support member then being wrapped twice around the bath towel package. In this way, the length of the cords or support members 20 between the two support rings 18 can be varied to form either a handle or a shoulder strap.
