(1) Field of the Invention
The present invention generally relates to a towel twirling device. More particularly, the present invention relates to “a towel twirling device for twirling a towel without wrapping or bundling it around the hand. The towel twirling device also allows the device to connect to a belt loop, pocket, or bottom of a shirt to hang the towel twirling device with a clipped towel when the towel is not being twirled”.
(2) Background of the Invention
Twirling towels is a fun activity people do at sporting events, rallies, and other types of events to show support. Some apparatuses have been made for twirling towels. Rally towel devices or towel twirling devices are sold or given for free at stadiums during an event. The towel is twirled by the rotation of the wrist. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 8,136,209 B1, issued to Willison Christopher H on 2012, Mar. 20, discusses a spinner handle comprised of an ergonomic elongated cylindrical handle and a banner-towel grasping attachment made of two parts attached by hinges to hold a banner-towel placed there between for waving a sport's fan banner-towel. Similarly, U.S. Pat. No. 8,257,135 B2 issued to Arcovio Andrew M on 2012, Sep. 4, discloses a spinning towel assembly that includes a grip by which the user may hold the assembly. Between the grip and the towel, there is a collar that allows the towel to rotate about an axis. The axis of rotation is a pin that holds the grip to the towel. The pin connects through the collar on the towel in a position that allows rotation. However, one major problem in twirling towels is that the towel tends to wrap around and bundle up around the hand of the person, and the person has to stop twirling to untangle the towel. This affects the comfort of the act of twirling towels. Hence, it is desirable to have a device that allows efficient twirling of towels while preventing the towel from wrapping around the hand, so that the towel can be twirled for an extended period of time. Another issue with rally towels and towel twirling devices is that when the person doesn't need to twirl the towel, the towel and the rally towel device has to be held in the hand, which may cause discomfort. Alternatively, the person may keep them in a nearby spot in the stadium or event location, resulting in the lose of the towel and the towel spinning device. Hence, there is a need to provide a way to carry the rally towel and the towel twirling device efficiently and comfortably when the rally towel is not to be twirled.
It is an objective of the invention to overcome or alleviate a problem of the prior art.
This permits the use of the present invention, which enhances the prior art of towel twirling devices for twirling towels without wrapping them around the hand. The towel twirling device carries the clipped towel from a belt loop, pocket, or bottom of a shirt when the towel is not to be twirled.
In view of the foregoing, one aspect of the various disclosed embodiments of the present invention is to provide a towel twirling device for twirling a towel without wrapping it around the hand.
Preferably, the towel twirling device addresses, or at least ameliorates, one or more of the problems described above. To this end, the present invention, related to a towel twirling device with some unique aspects, is disclosed.
Accordingly, it is a primary objective of the present invention to provide a towel twirling device for twirling a towel without wrapping it around the hand, thus allowing extended twirling of the towel. The towel twirling device is made of a round tube with a rounded head to which a towel holding clip is attached.
It is another objective of the present invention that the towel twirling device also connects the device to a belt loop, pocket, or bottom of a shirt, to hang the towel twirling device with clipped towel when the towel is not to be twirled.
It is yet another objective of the present invention that the towel twirling device is made of lightweight material, such as plastic, to allow comfort while twirling a towel.
Other objectives of the present invention will become apparent from time to time throughout the specification, as hereinafter related.
In this respect, before explaining at least one embodiment of the invention in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of construction and to the arrangements of the components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the drawings. The invention is capable of other embodiments, and of being practiced and carried out in various ways. Also, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein are for the purpose of description, and should not be regarded as limiting.
These, together with other objectives of the invention and the various features of novelty that characterize the invention, are pointed out with particularity in the disclosure. For a better understanding of the invention, its operating advantages, and the specific objectives attained by its uses, reference should be had to the accompanying drawings and descriptive matter, in which there are illustrated preferred embodiments of the invention.
To further clarify various aspects of some example embodiments of the present invention, a more particular description of the invention will be rendered by reference to specific embodiments thereof, which are illustrated in the appended drawing. It is appreciated that the drawing depicts only illustrated embodiments of the invention, and is, therefore, not to be considered limiting of its scope. The invention will be described and explained with additional specificity and detail through the use of the accompanying drawing, in which:
The following detailed description of the present invention enables teaching of the invention and its best, currently known embodiment. Those skilled in the art can understand that many changes can be made to the embodiments described, while still obtaining the beneficial results of the present invention. It will also be apparent that some of the desired benefits of the present invention can be obtained by selecting some of the features of the invention while not utilizing other features. Accordingly, those working in the relevant art will recognize that many adaptations and modification to the present invention can be made, may be desired in certain circumstances, and are part of the present invention. Thus, the following description is provided as illustrative of the principle of the present invention.
Embodiments of the present invention provide a towel twirling device for twirling a towel without wrapping it around the hand. The towel twirling device also connects to a belt loop, pocket, or bottom of a shirt to hang said towel twirling device with a clipped towel when the towel is not to be twirled. Accordingly, the specific embodiments discussed herein are merely illustrative of specific manners in which to make and use this invention, and are not intended to represent an exhaustive list of all possible structure and processes of the present invention.
Embodiments of the method are shown in the figures, and discussed below. While the structure and processes have been described with a certain degree of particularity, it is to be noted that many modifications may be made in the details of the structure and processes without departing from the spirit and scope of this disclosure. It is understood that the structure and processes are not limited to the embodiments, set forth herein for purposes of exemplification.
Aspects of the present inventive subject matter are described with reference to the figures provided herein.
It is preferred that the towel twirling device, including its round tube, is made of a light-weight material, such as plastic. Furthermore, the round tube is preferably 5 inches to 7 inches long, and ⅜ inches to ¾ inches in diameter. The rally towel that is removably attached to the device with recessed faces for mounting sports team indicia, that may have solid color, multiple colors, colors of teams, designs, logos, characters, cartoons, and textures on it. For example, the rally towel device may be red colored.
The towel twirling device prevents a towel from wrapping around a hand, also the towel is clipped onto the without deformation. Thus, towel twirling is more fun. Also, the towel twirling towel provides a good way to carry towels during sporting events, such as the World Series, Super Bowl, Rose Bowl games, etc. The towel twirling device can be used by fans to attach a usual towel or towel representing their favorite team to the towel twirling device with the provided clip. The towel twirling device can also be used by sports club who can manufacture it with towels customized to represent their sports team for selling or free distribution at sport event.
