[0023] Embodiments of the present application will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so as to be easily practiced by those skilled in the art. Also, in order to clearly describe the present application, parts irrelevant to the description are omitted in the drawings.

[0024] Figure 1 is a plan view of the upper surface of a towel drawn according to an embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of a towel drawn according to an embodiment of the present application, Figure 3 is a transverse sectional view of a towel drawn according to an embodiment of the present application, Figure 4 is a drawing of a hall layout structure by expanding Figure 3 the reinforcement part.

[0025] Referring to Figures 1 to 4 , according to an embodiment of the present application, a towel 10 can include a main body part 100, a central part 200, and a reinforcement part 300.

[0026] The main body part 100 is woven by a first face yarn 110 having a high water absorption rate, a plurality of weft yarns are arranged in a transverse direction, and a plurality of warp yarns are alternately woven up and down across the weft yarns. At this time, an upper slope of a loop shape is alternately formed in a plurality of slopes to improve the water absorption rate.

[0027] For example, the number of the first face yarn 110 can be 20.

[0028] The central part 200 can be arranged on one side of the main body part 100. The central part 200 can be arranged at the center of the main body part 100. The central part 200 can be divided into a first area, a second area facing the first area, a third area connecting the first area and the second area, and a fourth area facing the third area, with reference to the arrangement area of the main body part 200.

[0029] The first and second areas can face a first direction X. The third and fourth areas can face a second direction Y perpendicular to the first direction X. The first direction X length of the first and second areas can be shorter than the second direction Y length of the third and fourth areas.

[0030] The main body part 100 can have a rectangular cross-section having a first direction X length greater than a second direction Y length.

[0031] The central part 200 can be combined on the surface of the first face yarn 110 of the main body part 100. The central part 200 includes a second face yarn 210, and the second face yarn 210 can be combined on the surface of the first face yarn 110 by a sewing part (not worked). The sewing part can be arranged along the periphery of the second face yarn 210.

[0032] The number of faces of the second face yarn 210 can be higher than the number of faces of the first face yarn 110. Accordingly, the thickness of the yarn constituting the second face yarn 210 can be thinner than the thickness of the yarn constituting the first face yarn 110. For example, the number of faces of the second face yarn 210 can be 30 or more. For example, the number of faces of the second face yarn 210 can be 40. Accordingly, the user can feel a soft touch through the second face yarn 210 placed in the middle of the towel 10. In addition, by forming the main body with the first face yarn 110, the durability of the towel 10 can be improved.

[0033] In addition, the thicker the thickness of the central area of the towel 10, which is in contact with the user's body more, the greater the convenience of the user. Accordingly, the towel 10 in the present embodiment provides convenience to the user by thickening the central area 200, and at the same time, the edge area is composed only of the first face yarn 110 of the main body area 100, so that the weight increase of the towel 10 due to the thickening of the central area can be minimized.

[0034] As shown in FIG. 1, the central area 200 can be thicker than the first to fourth areas of the central area 200. Figure 2

[0035] In order for the user to feel the area in which the thickness is increased by the central area 200, the first direction X length of the central area 200 can be longer than the sum of the first direction X lengths of the first and second areas. The second direction Y length of the central area 200 can be 3 times or more than the sum of the second direction Y lengths of the third and fourth areas. The second direction Y length of the central area 200 is considered to be a short side of the second direction Y length of the towel 10.

[0036] In addition, although not shown, the second face yarn 210 can be a plurality of face yarns, which can be placed on both sides of the first face yarn 110, respectively. In this case, the thickness of the central area 200 can be thicker.

[0037] In addition, the central area of the towel 100 is composed of a plurality of cotton yarns, and can be relatively slower in drying or dehydration than the edge area. In addition, as the towel 100 places the second face yarn 210 having a higher number of faces in the central area, the durability in the central area can be relatively reduced.

[0038] In order to reinforce it, the towel 10 can include a reinforcement part 300.

[0039] In detail, the towel 10 can include a reinforcement part 300 placed between the first face yarn 110 and the second face yarn 210. The material of the reinforcement part 300 can include one or more selected from the group consisting of polyester, nylon, and synthetic resin. The thickness of the reinforcement part 300 can be thicker than the thickness of the first face yarn 110 or the second face yarn 210. Accordingly, a thicker thickness can be formed in the central area of the towel 100 due to the thickness of the reinforcement part 300.​

[0040] As Figures 2 to 4 illustrated, the reinforcement portion 300 can include a plurality of halls 310 to facilitate water discharge. The hole 310 can be shaped to penetrate the hitting surface from one side of the reinforcement portion 300. When the first face yarn 110 and the second face yarn 210 are arranged in the up-down direction, the hole 310 can be shaped to penetrate the lower surface from the upper surface of the reinforcement portion 300. The hall 310 is plural, and can be formed in a plurality of lines in the first direction X or the second direction Y.

[0041] In addition, the corner regions of the reinforcement portion 300 can be regions in which the hole 310 is not placed - the grey skin 330. The grey skin 330 can be placed opposite the four corner regions of the middle portion 200. When the hole 310 placement region in the reinforcement portion 300 is named the hole region, the four corner regions of the hole region can be in the shape of a bevel connecting one side and the other side. The grey skin 330 can have a triangular cross-sectional shape.

[0042] Since the four corner regions of the reinforcement portion 300 do not form the hole 310, water flowing into the reinforcement portion 300 can be concentrated in the four sides or the up-down direction rather than being discharged. With respect to the corner regions, considering that the contact area between the plurality of cotton yarns is relatively large, it is not easy to discharge water.

[0043] As Figure 4 illustrated, the arrangement region of the plurality of halls 310 can include a first line 370 forming the outermost periphery, a second line 380 arranged inside the first line 370, a third line 390 arranged inside the second line 380, and a fourth line 360 arranged inside the third line 390. Here, the first to fourth lines 370, 380, 390, 360 can refer to imaginary lines connecting the plurality of holes 310 to the first direction X or the second direction Y. In addition, the first line 370 can be arranged relatively close to the seam portion than the other lines. The fourth line can be relatively close to the center of the towel 10 than the other lines.

[0044] The cross-sectional area of the hall 314 arranged by the first line 370 can be smaller than the cross-sectional area of the hall 312 arranged by the second line 380. The cross-sectional area of the hall 314 arranged by the third line 390 can be smaller than the cross-sectional area of the hall 312 arranged by the second line 380. The cross-sectional area of the hall 312 arranged by the fourth line 360 can be greater than the cross-sectional area of the hall 314 arranged by the third line 390, and the same as the cross-sectional area of the hall 312 arranged by the second line 280.

[0045] In other words, by making the cross-sectional area of ​​the outermost hall 310 smaller than that of the inner hall 310, drainage can be more easily achieved in the upward and downward directions through the central area than through the junction area of ​​multiple veils—the edge area. However, considering that significant differences in moisture drainage may occur between areas when the relatively small cross-section holes 314 are centrally arranged, a second line 380 with a relatively large cross-section hole 312 can be arranged between the first line 370 and the third line 390 to guide the smooth drainage of the edges of the reinforced part 300 as well.

[0046] As explained above, all components constituting the embodiments of the present invention are combined or work together, and the present invention is not necessarily limited to these embodiments. That is to say, within the scope of the present invention, all its components can be selectively combined and work together.

[0047] Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "constituting," or "owning" used above, unless specifically stated to the contrary, imply that the component may be inherent and should therefore be interpreted as potentially including other components rather than excluding them. All terms, including technical or scientific terms, unless otherwise defined, have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. Commonly used terms, such as those defined beforehand, should be interpreted as consistent with the context of the relevant art and should not be construed as having an ideal or excessive formal meaning unless explicitly defined herein.

[0048] The above description is merely illustrative of the technical concept of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments described are not intended to limit the technical concept of the present invention, but rather to illustrate it; these embodiments do not limit the scope of the technical concept of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention should be interpreted according to the following claims, and all technical concepts within the equivalent scope should be interpreted as included within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
