Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of fabrics, and in particular to a wind-resistant beach towel with pockets, which allows the user to employ it even under strong winds. It also has pockets in which the user may store items with increased safety.
  • the wind-resistant beach towel with pockets disclosed in the present invention has not been disclosed in the previous art.
  • Beach towels constitute a necessary accessory for all bathers.
  • Greece as well as many other countries having coastal areas receive annually, but mainly during summer, millions of tourists intending to enjoy sea and sun.
  • a tourist may find towels, bathing suits, thongs, rackets, balls, arm bands, mattresses, sunscreens, etc.
  • the problem lies in the fact that tourists frequently purchase only the necessary items when at the beach, but do not have a bag to carry them.
  • the residents of coastal areas face a similar problem, who frequently go swimming and cannot carry their items, such as keys, mobile phones, wallets, and thus are forced to keep them within a rolled towel, as a protection against theft by people wandering at the beaches.
  • the problems are severe for the bathers due to meltemi in the Greek islands, i.e. winds during August, mainly in the Aegean Sea.
  • a wind-resistant beach towel which comprises lateral pockets, which may close or not, and in which the user may store the items he carries when at sea. For this reason, the pockets are lined with water-repellent material to protect the items against water and moisture from the user's body.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a wind-resistant beach towel having pockets which can be removed as desired by the user, allowing him to use it as a common towel.
  • Figure 1 shows in plan view the wind-resistant beach towel with the pockets, as it is mounted on a deckchair.
  • the depicted wind-resistant beach towel with pockets has the form of a conventional towel, as these are used during summer at the sea or at swimming pools.
  • the towel (I) of the preferred embodiment is made of, for example, cotton material, so that it better absorbs water when the user wipes himself, however any other suitable material may be used as desired.
  • the towel (1) has at its upper side a headrest pocket (2), which is a continuation of the towel and which may close by a zipper (3) at its lower part.
  • the user who desired to line on a deckchair may fit the towel (1) over the deckchair to stretch it along the length of the deckchair. In this way, it is ensured that the towel (1) is not displaced, when strong winds blow or when the user moves lying on the deckchair.
  • the headrest pocket (2) exemplarily but not limited to, comprises an internal water-repellent lining, so that water or moisture does not penetrate it and the user may store items if he wants to. Furthermore, if desired the user may use a blown pillow, or another towel, or any other suitable object, so that his head is raised when he lying.
  • lateral pockets (4) are mounted, one at each side, without their number being limited to that, which are exclusively used for storing small items, such as keys, a mobile phone, a water bottle, a sunscreen oil, a book, a newspaper etc.
  • small items such as keys, a mobile phone, a water bottle, a sunscreen oil, a book, a newspaper etc.
  • the lateral pockets (4) are sutured on the towel (1) and may be closed either with a zipper, buttons, Velcro, or rubber element, or in any other suitable way, or they may be left open so that direct access to the stored items is allowed.
  • the headrest pocket (2), as well as the lateral pockets (4) are removable and the user uses them as desired, depending on the conditions.
  • the headrest pocket (2) comprises rubber, so that the user may stretch it across its width as required in order to be fitted over deckchairs of larger width.
  • the two lateral pockets (4) may be connected between them by a rope or a rubber element, or any other suitable means from the lower side of the towel (1), allowing the user to pass the rope from the rear side of the deckchair and to ensure that the towel (1) will be better kept in position.
  • the rope may be sutured on the lower side of the towel (1), or may be removable, so that the user may use it as desired.
  • the headrest pocket (2) is not permanently sutured on the sides but has Velcro elements on the rear side and along the towel, by which the user may fold the upper part as desired to form a headrest pocket (2) of respective size.
