(2) Description of Related Art Including Information Disclosed Under 37 CFR 1.97 and 1.98
The disclosure and prior art relates to towel devices and more particularly pertains to a new towel device for washing a user's back.
An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a towel that may be manipulated during bathing. Thus, the towel may clean a user when the user bathes. The towel has a resiliently stretchable portion. The towel may be stretched along the user's back. Thus, the user may clean the user's back.
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 comprises a first panel 18 that has a first edge 20. The first panel 18 is comprised of a fluid absorbent material such as terry cloth or the like. The first panel 18 may be manipulated when the user 14 bathes. Thus, the first panel 18 may wash the user 14 when the user 14 bathes.
A second panel 22 is provided and the second panel 22 has a second edge 24. The second panel 22 is comprised of a fluid absorbent material such as terry cloth or the like. The second panel 22 may be manipulated when the user 14 bathes. Thus, the second panel 22 may wash the user 14 when the user 14 bathes.
A third panel 26 is provided and the third panel 26 is coupled between the first edge 20 of the first panel 18 and the second edge 24 of the second panel 22. The third panel 26 is comprised of the resiliently stretchable material. Each of the first panel 18 and the second panel 22 are selectively urgeable away from each other. Thus, the user 14 may stretch the towel along the user's back 16.
The third panel 26 is comprised of a textured material. Thus, the third panel 26 may frictionally engage the user's back 16 when the towel 12 is stretched along the user's back 16. The third panel 26 scrubs the user's back 16 when the user 14 bathes. Thus, the user 14 may wash the user's back 16 without assistance.
In use, the towel 12 is manipulated when the user 14 bathes. The first panel 18 is manipulated to wash the user's head and user's upper torso. The second panel 22 is manipulated to wash the user's legs and lower torso. Thus, the user has a clean towel to wash the user's upper body and the user's lower body.
The towel 12 is positioned to extend along the user's back 16. Each of the first panel 18 and the second panel 22 are urged away from each other thereby facilitating the user 14 to stretch the towel 12 along the user's back 16. Thus, the towel 12 facilitates each of the user's arms to be positioned in a comfortable position when the towel 12 is stretched along the user's back 16. The third panel 26 frictionally engages the user's back 16 when the towel 12 is stretched along the user's back 16. Thus, the user 14 washes the user's back 16 without assistance.
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.
