Abstract

The Wrap-n-Dry Towel has a hook strip on one side of the towel and a loop strip on the opposite side of the towel. When the towel is wrapped around a person'"'"'s head to the forehead and the hook and loop are pressed together it provides a strong wrap. The towel is never twisted into a knot and is loose on the hair and allows the hair and towel to drape down the back side of the person allowing faster drying of the hair and preventing tangling of the hair for a healthier strand of hair and ease of brushing the hair out.

Claims

1. A towel wrap encompassing a human head comprising:

i) a towel comprising

(1) a rectangular shape comprising;

(a) a lesser planar dimension, and

(b) a greater planar dimension;

(2) a top side;

(3) a bottom side; and

(4) a crease that only runs perpendicular to said greater planar dimension;

ii) a rectangular shaped hook material;

iii) a rectangular shaped loop material;

iv) a functional indicia;

v) wherein said greater planar dimension of said towel is sized such that said greater planar dimension is substantially greater than a circumference of a human user'"'"'s head but less than a sum of two circumferences of the human user'"'"'s head plus a longer dimension of said rectangular shaped hook material and a longer dimension of said rectangular shaped loop material;

vi) wherein said lesser planar dimension of said towel is sized such that a majority of said lesser planar dimension is consumed by the human user'"'"'s hair when the human user wraps said town around the human user'"'"'s head and hair;

vii) wherein said lesser planar dimension of said towel is sized such that when fully wrapped around the human user'"'"'s head, said lesser planar dimension spans from a front portion of the human users head to a rear portion of the human user'"'"'s head but not below the neck of the human user;

viii) wherein said rectangular shaped hook material and said functional indicia are structurally affixed the said top side of said towel;

ix) wherein said rectangular shaped loop material is structurally affixed to said bottom side of said towel;

x) wherein said rectangular shaped hook material and said rectangular shaped loop material are sized and positioned on said greater planar dimension, and further structured such that when the user wraps said towel around the user'"'"'s head—

that said rectangular shaped hook material and said rectangular shaped loop material sufficiently overlap such that said rectangular shaped hook material and said rectangular shaped loop material sufficiently over-lap to create sufficient coupling force to friction-affix said towel to the user'"'"'s head; and

xi) wherein said functional indicia is structured and arranged to provide at least one indication to the human user that wraps said towel around the human user'"'"'s head as to which side of said towel is said top side of said towel during the time-period in which the human user is wrapping said towel around the human user'"'"'s head.

2. The towel wrap of claim 1 wherein said towel is structured and arranged with said crease that only runs perpendicular to said greater planar dimension and that crosses through a center point of said top side of said towel.

3. The towel wrap of claim 2 wherein said wherein said towel is structured and arranged with said crease that creates an open area, located about said crease, in a mid-section of said towel, whereby said open area is structured and arranged to enable drying of the human'"'"'s wet hair and further structured and arranged to prevent the human'"'"'s wet hair from tangling.
