The disclosure relates to rolled towel device and more particularly pertains to a new rolled towel device for supporting a user lying in a side position.
The prior art relates to rolled towel devices. The prior art relates to a variety of rolled towel devices configured for use in a bed or an area for the user to lie down. Known prior art lacks a rolled towel device having a plurality of bands to help retain the towel in a rolled position and provide friction resistance to retain in a fixed position upon the bed.
An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a towel is produced of a soft material. The towel has a first end and a second end. Furthermore, the towel is configured for positioning from an unrolled position to a rolled position. The rolled position of the towel is configured for the first end of the towel winding about the second end of the towel, wherein forming the towel into a cylindrical shape. The rolled position of the towel has an exterior surface. A plurality of bands is enwrapped around the exterior surface of the rolled position of the towel. Each of the bands is a rubber material. The rubber material is configured for exhibiting friction resistance against a variety of surfaces.
In another embodiment, a method for using a furled towel holster device includes the step of positioning a towel in a rolled position wherein the rolled position is configured for winding the towel about itself. The user enwraps a plurality of bands around the towel in the rolled position. Each of the bands restrains the towel in the rolled position. Subsequently, a side of a user lies upon a bed and positions the towel adjacent to a back of the user upon the bed. The plurality of bands is configured for retaining the towel in place upon the bed. Alternately, the user can move the towel from the back of the user to a front of the user wherein a pair of arms of the user can cradle the towel to facilitate in lying down. Additionally, positioning the user from the side of the user to the back of the user upon the bed and positioning the towel between a pair of legs of the user wherein providing a comfortable sleeping position.
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
The towel 12 is configured for positioning from an unrolled position to a rolled position. The towel 12 is biased towards being positioned within the unrolled position due to the supple characteristics of the soft material 14. The unrolled position is configured for the towel 12 being a flat rectangular shape wherein the first 18 and second 20 ends of the towel 12 are coplanar relative to each other. Alternately, the rolled position of the towel 12 is configured for the first end 18 of the towel 12 winding about the second end 20 of the towel 12, wherein forming the towel 12 into a cylindrical shape 22. A pair of side ends 24 of the rolled position expose a spiral design 26 produced from the wound towel 12. In addition, the rolled position of the towel 12 has an exterior surface 28.
Furthermore, a plurality of bands 30 is enwrapped around the exterior surface 28 of the rolled position of the towel 12. Each of the bands 30 is a rubber material 32. The rubber material 32 is configured for exhibiting friction resistance against a variety of surfaces, wherein each of the bands 30 remains in a fixed position relative to a surface they lay against. Moreover, the plurality of bands 30 is configured for holding the towel 12 within the cylindrical shape 22 wherein inducing a firm characteristic of the towel 12. The firm characteristic is configured for the towel 12 being resistant to compression in the rolled position. The firm characteristic helps retain the cylindrical shape 22 of the rolled position of the towel 12 when in-use.
In use, a towel 12 is positioned from the unrolled position to the rolled position. The user 16 enwraps a plurality of bands 30 around the exterior surface 28 of the towel 12 in the rolled position, wherein each of the bands 30 restrains the towel 12 in the cylindrical shape 22. Subsequently, the side 34 of the user 16 lies upon the bed 36 and positions the towel 12 adjacent to the back 38 of the user 16 upon the bed 36. The plurality of bands 30 is configured for retaining the towel 12 in a fixed position upon the surface of the bed 36. Alternately, the user 16 can move the towel 12 from the back 38 of the user 16 to the front 40 of the user 16 wherein the user 16 cradles the towel 12 to facilitate in lying down. Additionally, positioning from the side 34 of the user 16 to the back 38 of the user 16 upon the bed 36 and nesting the towel 12 laterally between a pair of legs 42 of the user 16 wherein providing a comfortable sleeping position with the pair of legs 42 in an angled position.
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.
