Definitions

  • Figure 9 is a perspective view of the device of Fig. 8.
  • portion 20 may be closer to one end than the other end.
  • device 30 may be a flexible sheet that is, itself, hung over a towel holder 22 in a generally U- shaped profile.
  • Sheet 32 may be made of a suitable material which itself provides the appearance of a smooth (i.e., non-roughened) surface but has a tacky, sticky or non-slip quality, such as the above-identified silicone, rubber or other suitable material that can create a frictional interface with towel 100. Other materials which do not have a smooth finish such as certain foams or fabrics, may also be used.
  • sheet 32 may be textured, roughened, dimpled, matte-finished, cross-hatched, with upstanding members extending from towel contacting surface 36 or be otherwise patterned to provide the necessary friction to substantially prevent towel slippage.
  • the material used for device 30 is preferably heat resistant and capable of withstanding temperatures typically encountered at the handle of an oven such as, for example, up to about 100°F, 200°F, 300°F, 400°F and up to 500°F without causing deformation, melting of the device 30, or the release of odors.
  • device 30 is preferably waterproof.
  • device 30 may be hung in a U-shape over towel holder 22.
  • Opposing plies or portions of towel holder contacting surface 38 of device 30 may be fastened together, as shown in Figs. 5-7, in any one or more of several ways.
  • facing plies or portions may be held together using easy-to-open fasteners 34.
  • facing plies or portions of surface 38 may be held together by other types of commonly used fastening means, such as Velcro® tabs or strips, magnets, tapes and the like.
  • at least one portion of towel holder contacting surface 38 may itself have a tacky or sticky and/or self-adhesive quality, at least on that portion that is intended to hang below towel holder 22.
  • towel holder contacting surface 38 may have an adhesive applied thereon in an amount and of a type that allows for (1) repeated adhesion of the facing portions of towel holder contacting surface 38 and (2) easy peeling apart of the facing portions when the device is removed from towel holder 22.
  • opposing piies need not be fastened or held together at all, and may simply hang freely from the towel holder 22.
  • Figs. 11 and 12 show a further embodiment of a device made in accordance with the present disclosure.
  • device 50 may be made substantially of a solid, resilient and conformable body 52.
  • Body 52 may include a cavity 54 that is defined by towel holder contacting surface 57 and an expandable slit or gap 56 defined by an inner surface of body 52.
  • device 50 may be pressed or pushed onto towel holder 22 at expandable gap 56, allowing the deformable inner cavity to conform to the shape of towel holder 22, regardless of the shape. This allows for a tighter and more conforming fit of device 50 to towel holder 22, as shown in Fig.
  • the outer surface or towel contact surface 58 of device 50 may be made of a suitable material that provides a frictional interface between towel 100 and towel holder 22.
  • surface 58 may have a mildly sticky or tacky property, or it may be textured, contoured, or otherwise patterned to provide the frictional interface, as generally described above.
  • a first aspect of the present subject matter includes a device for preventing a towel from slipping off of a towel holder, wherein the device is removable from the towel holder and the device further includes a towel
  • a second aspect of the present subject matter includes a device in accordance with the first aspect described above wherein the device includes a sheet having a first end and a second end.
  • the sheet is made of a non-fabric material sufficiently flexible to adopt a U-shaped profile over the towel holder.
  • the device is adapted for securing one portion of the opposed towel holder contacting surface to an opposed portion of the towel holder contacting surface.
  • a third aspect of the present subject matter includes the device in accordance with any one of the first or second aspects wherein at least the towel contacting surface incudes silicone.
  • a fifth aspect of the present subject matter includes a device in accordance with any one of the first through fourth aspects described above wherein the device includes a first end and a second end facing the first end and the ends are separated by a gap.
  • An eighth aspect of the present subject matter includes a device in accordance with any one of the first through seventh aspects described above wherein the device includes a member having a resilient body defining an interior cavity that is substantially comformable to a towel holder.
  • a ninth aspect of the present subject matter includes a device in accordance with any one of the first through eighth aspects wherein the member is substantially prevented from lateral or axial movement along or about the towel holder.
  • a twelfth aspect of the present subject matter includes a device in accordance with any one of the first through eleventh aspects described above, wherein the textured surface comprises a plurality of gripping members on the surface.
  • a fifteenth aspect of the present subject matter includes the device of any one of the first through eighth aspects and tenth through fourteenth aspects wherein the device is repositionable along the towel holder.
