The disclosure relates to washcloth device and more particularly pertains to a new washcloth device for enhancing joy for a user while bathing. The device includes a washcloth which has a body, a pair of legs, a pair of arms and a pair of ears such that the washcloth has the ornamental appearance of a rabbit. Furthermore, the washcloth is comprised of a fluid absorbent material such that the washcloth can be employed for bathing.
The prior art relates to washcloth devices including a utilitarian doll that is comprised of a washable material and which includes animatronic elements. The prior art discloses a bathing element that includes a washcloth component, comprised of a flexible mesh sponge, and a collar component from which the washcloth component flares outwardly. The prior art discloses a combination bathing implement for exfoliating skin and a bath toy removably attached to the bathing implement. The prior art discloses a fabric bathing toy that is shaped like an animal and a mesh pocket for storing soap. The prior art discloses an ornamental design for monkey bath plush that is structured to have the ornamental appearance of a monkey.
An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a washcloth that has a body, a pair of arms each extending away from the body, a pair of legs each extending away from the body and a pair of ears each extending away from the body. In this way the washcloth has the ornamental appearance of a rabbit. The washcloth is comprised of a fluid absorbent material to absorb water to facilitate a user to wash themselves with the washcloth. Each of the body, the pair of arms, the pair of legs and the pair of ears comprises of a plurality of panels that are attached together such that the washcloth is planar.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
As best illustrated in
Each of the pair of arms 16 has a coupled end 32 that is attached to the outer edge 22 of the body 14 at a point located adjacent to an intersection between the lower portion 24 and the upper portion 26 of the outer edge 22. Each of the pair of arms 16 is positioned on opposing sides of the body 14 with respect to each other. Each of the pair of arms 16 has a distal end 34 with respect to the outer edge 22 and the distal end 34 of each of the pair of arms 16 is rounded. Additionally, each of the pair of arms 16 curves upwardly toward the upper portion 26 of the outer edge 22.
Each of the pair of legs 18 has a coupled end 36 that is attached to the lower portion 24 of the outer edge 22 of the body 14 and each of the pair of legs 18 is positioned on opposing sides of the body 14 with respect to each other. Furthermore, each of the pair of legs 18 is positioned between a respective one of the pair of arms 16 and an apex 38 of the lower portion 24 of the outer edge 22. Each of the pair of legs 18 has a foot 40 that is directed toward the respective arm 16. Additionally, the foot 40 on each of the pair of legs 18 is rounded.
Each of the pair of ears 20 has a coupled end 42 that is attached to the upper portion 26 of the outer edge 22 of the body 14. Each of the pair of ears 20 is positioned on opposite sides of an apex 44 of the lobe 28 defined by the upper portion 26. Each of the pair of ears 20 has a distal end 46 with respect to the upper portion 26 and each of the ears 20 widens between the coupled end 42 of the ears 20 and the distal end 46 of the ears 20. The distal end 46 of each of the pair of ears 20 is rounded and each of the pair of ears 20 angles upwardly from the outer edge 22. The washcloth 12 may have a height of approximately 35.0 cm measured between the foot 40 on a respective leg 18 and the distal end 46 of a respective ear 20. Additionally, the washcloth 12 may have a width of approximately 30.0 cm measured between the distal end 34 of each of the pair of arms 16. The washcloth 12 may be manufactured in a variety of colors, such as blue for a male user, pink for a female user, or yellow to celebrate Easter.
In use, as is most clearly shown in
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
