Definitions

  • the purpose of the towel with holders incorporated is to hold and maintain a towel extended on the ground.
  • This device is especially applicable for maintaining a beach towel extended, which is logically placed on top of the sand; or generally, over soft ground, at any place where the user wishes to lay on the towel without worrying about the towel folding on itself as frequently occurs.
  • a purpose of this invention is to provide a towel that in addition to offering a great towel extending performance on the ground, it minimizes the risk of accident caused by bare foot contact with the towel's holding device.
  • Spanish Utility Model U8901765 describes a towel holder obtained from a single plastic piece delimited by two articulated lever arms, which makes up two clamps with a spring in-line with the arms of each clamp used for maintaining it closed, clamping onto the towel that wants to be held.
  • the clamp is complemented by an elongated round rod that is pointed at one of its ends so that it can be driven into the ground at the beach or grass at the place the towel is going to be laid in such a way so that, using several holding devices like the one listed, a towel can be maintained extended even when a person is not laying on top of it, remaining in that position even when the user moves, it is windy, etc.
  • the disadvantage of this device is that the holding elements that make up the clamps extent over the sand or grass and since they are rigid, may present a tripping hazard and cause undesired accidents, which occurs frequently due to the fact that users are usually barefoot in these types of situations.
  • the fixing of the towel is not as efficient as would be desired because the holding elements or clamps are opened quickly and easily when the spring tension is overpowered, which may occur by accident and inadvertently due to multiple causes. Also, a round shaped rod, due to its shape, does not guarantee a good hold in the sand.
  • the device recommended in this invention has been designed to solve the above mentioned problem in a way that provided with the means for holding and maintaining a towel extended in its lying ground, and based on an element or rod driven into the ground and a holding element for the corners and edges of the towel, presents the particularity that the towel has orifices below the angles formed by its comers; at least one orifice per corner, in a way that holding elements can be inserted through them, which are comprised of a rod with a cruciform shape and crowned with a cylindrical body, which is in turn closed on top by a mushroom shaped head; in other words, a head with a round shaped top and a flat lower body that attaches to the cylinder body.
  • the towel includes a pocket for carrying the holding elements and other types of objects when the towel is extended on the ground.
  • the towel is folded in half, making the orifices located at the corners meet so that a snap hook or an additional handle can be inserted in the orifices, enabling to turn the towel into a bag or a carrying utensil, which is evidently a practical advantage for using the towels when going to the beach, pool or engaging in similar activities.
  • a towel in combination with the described holding elements, which for an evidently optimum hold, at least one should be through an orifice, in other words, a total of four, enables to hold and maintain the towel extended on the ground with the particularity that the mushroom head constitutes a round body, without protruding edges, and depending on the construction, practically semi-flat, that practically does not protrude upward from the ground, which will limit any damage that may occur even when a bare foot touches the device since this is not a device that has protruding edges as occurs with the current state of the art.
  • the holding element is more reliable since it does not have any moving parts that can be inadvertently actuated, which provides the device increased safety in the hold.
  • the cruciform rod also provides a greater holding performance in the sand than the round rod.
  • the towel purpose of this invention is not only for single use but may be used in combination with other towels of similar characteristics, overlapping at least one of its sides with another similar side, in such a way that the corner orifices are aligned and in this way forming a network of towels, which results in an obvious advantage against other towels with holders.
  • the towel (1) is a conventional type towel, essentially rectangular in shape, which has orifices at each of its corners (2A, 2B, 2C, 2D) used for housing its corresponding holding element (3A, 3B, 3C, 3D), in such a way that the towel is extended on the ground aided by the holding elements that are driven into the ground.
  • the towel (1) incorporates a pocket (4) on one of its sides, in such a way that the holding elements (3A, 3B, 3C, 3D) can be placed in this pocket (4) when the towel (1) is configured for carrying, as can be seen in FIG. 3 where each of the towel (1) corners are folded (5) over the other corners making the orifices (2A, 2B, 2C, 2D) align with each other and in this way close the towel forming a bag (10).
  • the orifices will be joined together using attaching means (6) such as a handle, snap hook, a rope attached to each corner in such a way that all four ropes can be tied together, or in general, any method for joining that enables to close the towel so it can be used as a bag (10).
  • the pocket (4) is used, for example, for holding a mobile phone, music players or any other thing wished to be carried. For this reason, the location of the pocket (4) must be within hand's reach when in the extended position.
  • FIG.2 shows a picture of the holding elements (3A, 3B, 3C, 3D), which correspond to a cruciform rod (33) crowned by a cylindrical body (32), which is closed on top by a mushroom shaped head (31); in other words, a head with an round shaped upper profile and a flat lower profile, which is joined to the cylindrical body (32).
  • the lower end (34) of the cruciform profile (33) can be straight or bent (34') depending on the characteristics required for optimum performance for driving into a specific type of ground.
