Abstract

The invention constitutes a towel for the drying of the human body. The towel includes an elongate strip of moisture-absorbent cloth having reinforced edges and further having a ratio of a length-to-width of between about 8:1 and about 12:1, the strip of cloth having a first end and a second end, each end having a void space sufficient in area to facilitate engagement of the ends by respective hands of a user. The towel is between about 40 and about 72 inches in length.

Claims

1. A towel for drying of the human body, the towel comprising:

an elongate strip of a moisture-absorbent cloth having reinforcing edges and further having a ratio of length-to-width of between about 8;

1 and about 12;

1, said strip having a first end and a second end, each end having proximally thereto hand engagement void spaces.

2. The towel as recited in claim 1, in which a width of each of said void spaces define a range of about 50 to about 70 percent of a width of said strip of cloth.

3. The towel as recited in claim 2, in which a length of said void spaces each define a dimension about equal to said width thereof.

4. The towel as recited in claim 2, in which areas of said cloth at and about said void spaces include reinforcements provided about edges of each space.

5. The towel as recited in claim 2, in which a width dimension of each space exceeds a length dimension thereof.

6. The towel as recited in claim 2, in which a length of said strip defines a range of about 40 to about 72 inches.

7. The towel as recited in claim 4, in which said reinforcements comprise stitching patterns.

8. The towel as recited in claim 2, in which one side of said strip comprises a material having a greater degree of roughness on one side than the other side of said strip.

9. The towel as recited in claim 6, in which said reinforcements comprise stitching patterns.

10. The towel as recited in claim 5, in which areas of said cloth at and about said void spaces include reinforcements provided about edges of each space.

11. The towel as recited in claim 6, in which outer edges of each of said void spaces define a curved or arcuate geometry.

12. The towel as recited in claim 6, in which outermost edges of each of said spaces include an elongate deformably resilient element secured into said strip at outermost edges of each void space.

13. The towel as recited in claim 12, in which deformably resilient elements are provided upon both the upper and lower surfaces of the towel along said outermost edges of each void space thereof.

14. The towel as recited in claim 12, in which said material of each deformable resilient element defines a diameter of between 0.5 and 1.0 inches.

15. The towel as recited in claim 2, in which there is provided a stitching pattern between each end of said strip of material and each outermost edge of each of said void spaces.
