Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of towels, and in particular to a sports towel with multifunctional magnetic fastening properties for use in sports scenarios. Background Technology

[0002] Most sports towels use hooks, straps, or Velcro for attachment. Hook designs rely on the support points of specific structures on the fitness equipment for hanging, while straps require wrapping or knotting for fixation, and Velcro uses the properties of hook and loop fasteners for adhesion. These traditional fixing methods have obvious limitations in practical applications: hook fixing is limited by the structural features of the equipment and cannot be used when the equipment lacks suitable hanging points; straps are cumbersome to operate, difficult to fasten quickly with one hand during exercise, and are prone to loosening during vigorous exercise; while Velcro offers some convenience, its adhesiveness is easily affected by sweat and dust accumulation, and its adhesive strength significantly decreases after repeated tearing and pulling. In addition, the hard hook surface of the Velcro can easily scratch and damage the coating of the equipment due to long-term friction.

[0003] The root cause of the aforementioned technical defects lies in the inherent contradiction between existing fixing methods and the dynamic needs of sports scenarios. The rigid structure of mechanical hooks cannot adapt to diverse equipment shapes, the flexible characteristics of strap systems lack a quick locking mechanism, and the adhesive principle of Velcro is inherently incompatible with interference factors such as dust and sweat in the sports environment. This contradiction directly leads to athletes frequently adjusting the fixing device during training, which not only affects the continuity of training rhythm but also poses risks of equipment damage and safety hazards. In addition, the additional components of existing fixing structures often protrude from the towel body, easily causing snagging during storage and reducing product portability. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to overcome at least one deficiency of the existing technology and provide a sports towel with multifunctional magnetic fixation characteristics. This towel achieves non-destructive and rapid connection between the fabric and the surface of metal equipment through a physical adsorption mechanism, which can effectively break through the structural limitations of traditional fixation methods. It retains the flexibility and portability of the towel while giving it rapid positioning capabilities, enabling athletes to quickly fix and release between various equipment, making it convenient to use.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application discloses a sports towel with multifunctional magnetic fixation characteristics. The sports towel comprises a towel body made of flexible textile material, and at least one corner area of ​​the body is provided with a magnetic functional component.

[0006] In some embodiments, the magnetic functional component is encapsulated in a sealed cavity formed by abrasion-resistant fabric and fixed to the edge of the towel body by stitching, ensuring that the magnetic component remains stable during dynamic use.

[0007] In some embodiments, the magnetic functional component is detachable, with a mounting base at a preset position on the towel body. The inner wall of the base has a guide structure, forming a reversible connection with the magnetic functional component through snap-fit ​​or threaded engagement. Preferably, the base is made of flexible silicone and is flush with the towel surface when not assembled to maintain tactile feel.

[0008] Furthermore, the magnetic functional component includes at least one axially magnetized permanent magnet with N and S poles at its two ends, and the contact surface is planar to increase the adsorption area. Preferably, the permanent magnet is disc-shaped.

[0009] Furthermore, the contact surface of the permanent magnet is covered with an anti-scratch layer, which can both conduct magnetic force and protect the surface of the instrument.

[0010] Furthermore, the towel body adopts a multi-layer textile structure, and its edges are covered to form a reinforced boundary layer. The reinforced boundary layer is fixed to the main textile layer by stitching, forming a composite structure with improved tear resistance.

[0011] Furthermore, the reinforced boundary layer is embedded with a flexible support strip that extends continuously along the edge of the towel, maintaining the overall shape while preventing edge curling caused by magnetic attraction.

[0012] Furthermore, the surface of the towel body is provided with magnetic pole pointing marks. The marks are set in the corresponding area of ​​the magnetic functional components and include symbols or color blocks. Their arrangement is consistent with the magnetic pole direction of the permanent magnet. Adjacent towel bodies can achieve opposite pole alignment and adsorption through the markings to form an extended splicing structure.

[0013] Furthermore, the surface of the towel body is formed by irregular weaving to create sweat-wicking grooves, the bottom layer is a microfiber fleece structure, and the four corners are designed with rounded transitions to avoid the magnetic contact surface from shifting.

[0014] Furthermore, the magnetic functional component integrates a magnetic flux adjustment module, including a coaxially arranged annular magnetic shield and exposed actuating protrusions. Rotating the shield allows the slotted area to partially block the magnetic pole end face, dynamically adjusting the external magnetic flux intensity to adapt to the different adsorption needs of ferrous and stainless steel instruments.

[0015] Furthermore, the magnetic functional component has multiple sets of micro magnets arranged in an array on a flexible silicone substrate, allowing the magnetic functional component to be bent and fit the surface of an arc-shaped or cylindrical instrument, thereby increasing the contact area.

[0016] Compared with existing technologies, this application utilizes magnetic attachment technology to achieve rapid adsorption and release of sports towels on various equipment, eliminating the need for traditional methods such as hooks, straps, or Velcro. This solves problems such as lack of hanging points, cumbersome operation, and adhesive attenuation. The magnetic components employ a planar contact design, ensuring stable adsorption without damaging the equipment surface. The overall design simplifies the attachment process, ensuring the towel remains firmly attached during vigorous exercise while preserving its flexibility and comfort, meeting the demands for efficient, safe, and durable equipment in sports settings.

[0026] See attached document Figure 1 In this embodiment, a sports towel with multifunctional magnetic fixation characteristics achieves efficient fixation and release in various sports scenarios through the combination of innovative magnetic functional components and flexible textile structure.

[0027] Specifically, the towel consists of a towel body 1 made of flexible textile material and at least one magnetic functional component 2. The magnetic functional component 2 is encapsulated in a sealed cavity formed by abrasion-resistant fabric and is fixed to the edge area of ​​the towel body by sewing.

[0028] In some embodiments, the magnetic functional component 2 is detachable and connected to the towel body via an assembly base. The inner wall of the base has a guide structure, allowing for quick installation and removal via snap-fit ​​or threaded engagement. The base is made of flexible silicone and is flush with the towel surface when not assembled, ensuring a comfortable feel and not affecting the normal use of the towel.

[0029] The magnetic functional component 2 includes at least one axially magnetized disc-shaped permanent magnet with N and S poles at its two ends, respectively. The contact surface is planar to increase the adsorption area. The contact surface of the permanent magnet is covered with a scratch-resistant layer, which can both conduct magnetic force and protect the instrument surface from scratches.

[0030] Furthermore, in some embodiments, as an optional technical solution, the magnetic functional component 2 integrates a magnetic flux adjustment module, including a coaxially arranged annular magnetic shield and exposed actuating protrusions. By rotating the shield, the magnetic flux intensity can be dynamically adjusted to adapt to the different adsorption requirements of ferrous and stainless steel instruments.

[0031] More specifically, the towel body 1 adopts a multi-layered textile structure. The surface layer forms sweat-wicking grooves through an irregular weaving process, while the bottom layer is a microfiber fleece structure with rounded corners to prevent magnetic contact surface misalignment. The edges are wrapped to form a reinforced boundary layer, with embedded flexible support strips extending continuously along the edges of the towel body 1 to maintain the overall shape and prevent edge curling due to magnetic force. The surface of the towel body 1 has magnetic pole orientation markings, including symbols or color blocks, arranged in the same direction as the permanent magnet's poles, allowing users to quickly identify the polarity direction and achieve opposite pole alignment and adsorption of adjacent towels, forming an extended splicing structure.

[0032] In practical use, users simply align the magnetic component 2 with the surface of the metal equipment, and the magnetism automatically attracts and secures the towel, requiring no additional operation. For example, in a gym, users can attach the towel to dumbbell racks, barbell bars, or other metal equipment for quick and easy fixation. When it's time to remove it, simply pull the towel to release it—the operation is simple and quick.

[0033] It is important to understand that the design of the magnetic flux adjustment module further enhances its applicability. For example, when adsorbed onto ferrous instruments, the grooved area of ​​the shield can be fully aligned with the magnetic pole end face by rotating and adjusting the protrusion, releasing the maximum magnetic flux; while on stainless steel instruments, the magnetic pole end face can be partially blocked to reduce the magnetic flux intensity, ensuring stable adsorption without damaging the instrument surface.

[0034] In this embodiment, the multi-layered textile structure not only enhances the towel's durability but also its functionality. The surface's sweat-wicking grooves quickly wick away sweat, keeping the towel dry; the underlying microfiber fleece structure provides excellent absorbency and a soft touch. The combination of a rounded transition design and a reinforced boundary layer ensures that the towel will not curl or deform due to uneven force when magnetically secured, while the flexible support strip maintains the overall shape, improving the user experience.

[0035] In the appendix Figure 2 In the demonstrated treadmill application scenarios, users can attach towels magnetically to the handrails or side metal frame of the treadmill for easy wiping of sweat during exercise. The magnetic design eliminates the reliance on the treadmill structure for traditional hooks and removes the need for cumbersome strapping. For example, during high-intensity running, traditional straps may loosen due to sweat, while the magnetic towel remains firmly attached, ensuring the towel is always usable. The magnetic flux adjustment module dynamically adjusts the attachment strength based on the treadmill frame material, ensuring the towel doesn't accidentally fall off during exercise.

[0036] In the appendix Figure 3In the demonstrated cycling fitness equipment application scenarios, users can attach towels to the bicycle frame or water bottle cage for easy access. The magnetic component features multiple arrays of micro-magnets arranged on a flexible silicone substrate, allowing the component to bend and conform to the curved or cylindrical surfaces of the equipment, significantly increasing the contact area. For example, traditional hooks may not fit on the lean frame of a mountain bike, while magnetic towels can easily adhere and remain stable. Furthermore, the magnetic pole pointing design allows adjacent towels to be attached by opposite poles to form a spliced ​​structure, providing convenience for group cycling or multi-person use.

[0037] Compared to existing technologies, this design solves problems such as the inability of traditional hooks to adapt to diverse instruments, cumbersome and easily loosened straps, and the weakening of Velcro adhesion and damage to instrument coatings. For example, Velcro adhesion decreases in sweaty environments, while the scratch-resistant layer of the magnetic component 2 completely avoids this problem. In addition, the detachable design of the magnetic functional component allows users to flexibly adjust the attachment position according to their needs, avoiding the dependence of traditional hooks on the instrument structure.

[0038] In summary, this embodiment achieves rapid fixation and release of a sports towel in various scenarios through the innovative combination of magnetic functional components and flexible textile structures. Its structural design balances functionality, durability, and portability, and the synergistic effect of the magnetic flux adjustment module and multi-layered textile structure further enhances the user experience. This technical solution not only overcomes the limitations of existing technologies but also provides new ideas for the design of sports equipment, possessing broad market application prospects.
