Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a foot towel, specifically a disposable sock-shaped foot towel. Background Technology
[0002] Most commercially available dry foot towels are rectangular sheets, requiring both hands to wrap around the feet and dry them, which is rather cumbersome.
[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN203042071U discloses a multi-purpose foot drying towel. While the towel's overall sock-like shape allows for handless drying, it doesn't easily reach the crevices between the toes, leading to water residue and bacterial growth that can cause sores. Furthermore, this towel is a reusable towel; inadequate washing can result in odors, and repeated use increases bacterial growth, posing significant hygiene problems. Infrequent use, on the other hand, increases the financial burden on users. Additionally, this foot drying towel is not suitable for use with flip-flops.
[0004] Furthermore, due to the irregular shape of slippers, while ordinary foot towels can dry feet, drying slippers is rather cumbersome. Often, the feet are dried, but the slippers remain damp. Thus, the foot towel doesn't simultaneously dry both feet and slippers, and the residual water on the slippers can still irritate the feet. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a disposable sock-shaped foot towel that can dry both feet and slippers, offering greater versatility. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a disposable sock-shaped dry towel to solve problems such as inadequate wiping of feet and slippers, bacterial growth, and poor adaptability.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0029] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0030] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "upper," "lower," "front end," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0031] The disposable sock-shaped foot towel of this utility model has at least three different structures. The first is suitable for flip-flops, the second is suitable for thongs, and the third can be used for either flip-flops or thongs. The following describes each of the three different embodiments.
[0032] Example 1;
[0033] Please see Figures 1-2, this embodiment provides a disposable sock-shaped foot towel, which is suitable for flip-flops and is made of disposable absorbent sanitary materials. It includes a sock-shaped foot towel body 1. An opening 11 for the foot to enter is provided at the upper end of the sock-shaped foot towel body 1. A plurality of first partitions 21 are provided at the front end of the lower half. A plurality of first cavities 22 for accommodating toes are formed between the first partitions 21 and between the first partitions 21 and the sock-shaped foot towel body 1. At this time, the first cavity 22 can accommodate the big toe or other toes.
[0034] Please refer to Figure 3 , on the toe back part of the sock-shaped foot towel body 1, several marking lines 3 corresponding to the positions of the first partitions 21 are provided. Usually, there are five toes on the human foot, and five first cavities 22 need to be set to match the toes. Therefore, four first partitions 21 need to be set, and there are also four marking lines 3. The marking lines 3 mainly play a marking role, which helps users judge the position of the partitions and facilitates users to insert their toes into the corresponding cavities. The first partitions 21 are also made of disposable absorbent sanitary materials.
[0035] Please refer to Figures 7-8. In addition to using the marking lines 3, several through holes 5 through which the first partitions 21 and the first cavities 22 can be observed can also be provided on the toe back part of the sock-shaped foot towel body 1, or through holes 5 can be provided on the instep part of the sock-shaped foot towel body 1 and close to the first partitions 21. By providing the through holes 5, users can more intuitively determine the position of the partitions and facilitate users to insert their toes into the corresponding cavities. The shape of the through hole 5 can be one of a groove shape, a circular shape, an oval shape, a heart shape, a leaf shape, a polygon shape, or one of a character, a number, a letter. For example: 1) A narrow and long groove-shaped or oval through hole can be directly connected to the five first cavities 22; 2) Two or four small circular or heart-shaped or leaf-shaped or polygon through holes can be provided directly above the four partitions and respectively connected to the five first cavities 22; 3) Even simple Chinese characters such as "person" or numbers such as "8" or letters such as "S" can be provided as through holes and respectively connected to the five first cavities 22. The shape of the through hole 5 is diverse, and the present utility model does not limit it. And the shape of the through hole 5 can also play a decorative role.
[0036] It should be noted that the size of the through hole 5 should not be too large. Although the sock-shaped foot towel body 1 is provided with the through hole 5, it will to a certain extent affect the wiping of the toe back and the back of the slipper. However, during the process of the user putting on the foot towel, other parts of the foot towel will also wipe the toe back matching the through hole 5, and during the process of putting the foot into the slipper, other parts of the foot towel will also wipe the back of the slipper matching the through hole 5. In the case of a smaller size, the influence of the through hole 5 can be almost ignored.
[0037] Specifically, disposable absorbent sanitary materials use absorbent nonwoven fabric, the main component of which is PP (polypropylene fiber), with added absorbent materials such as wood pulp, fluff pulp, cotton pulp, and superabsorbent resin, which can be one or a combination of these. Disposable absorbent sanitary materials have low production costs and are widely applicable. Using hygienic absorbent nonwoven fabric is not only harmless to the human body but also provides good absorbency and a certain degree of comfort. Many household nonwoven products are made from nonwoven fabric composed of PP (polypropylene) and wood pulp, such as face towels, foot towels, and kitchen wipes, which can use 70% wood pulp and 30% PP, or other materials or proportions. Superabsorbent resin + fluff pulp is the main absorbent material for diapers, while superabsorbent resin + cotton pulp is the main absorbent material for sanitary napkins. Existing low-cost disposable absorbent sanitary materials with a certain structure (can be made into a cloth-like form) can all be used in this invention, and no specific limitations are imposed.
[0038] As a further preferred embodiment, the sole portion of the sock-shaped foot towel body 1 can be thickened by using a slightly thicker disposable absorbent material as the thickened sole 12, which can fully absorb moisture from the sole of the slipper and thoroughly dry the water stains on the sole. Of course, the front end of the lower half of the sock-shaped foot towel body 1 can also be thickened to facilitate the absorption of water stains on the back of the slipper.
[0039] This foot towel features a sock-like design that wraps around the feet, allowing it to absorb moisture and dry them without the need for hands. It's practical and convenient.
[0040] Example 2;
[0041] Please see Figure 4 This embodiment provides another disposable sock-shaped foot towel, suitable for flip-flops, which differs from Embodiment 1 in that:
[0042] The lower half of the sock-shaped foot towel body 1 has a fork at the front end (to the sole and instep). A second partition 23 is located at the fork and connects to the sock-shaped foot towel body 1 and the adjacent first partition 21. A second cavity 24 for accommodating the big toe is formed between the second partition 23 and the sock-shaped foot towel body 1. That is, the foot towel has one second partition 23 and one second cavity 24, and four first partitions 21 and four first cavities 22 for accommodating other toes. There is a gap between the first partitions 21 and the second partition 23. The front, upper, and lower ends of the second partition 23 are connected to the sock-shaped foot towel body 1, and the rear end is connected to the first partition 21, forming the fork. In this case, the fork serves as the boundary between the big toe and other toes, eliminating the need for additional through holes 5 or marking lines 3. Through holes 5 or marking lines 3 only need to be correspondingly placed at the positions of the other three first partitions 21. The second partition 23 is also made of disposable absorbent hygienic material.
[0043] Example 3;
[0044] Please see Figure 5 or Figure 6 This embodiment provides another disposable sock-shaped foot towel, which has two forms and can be used with both flip-flops and sandals. The difference from embodiment 2 is that:
[0045] A tearable adhesive strip 4 is also provided between the second partition 23 and the adjacent first partition 21. The tearable adhesive strip 4 can be made of double-sided adhesive (with suitable adhesion, not too strong), or it can be designed with easy-tear perforated lines at the bifurcation (instep and sole) of the sock-shaped foot towel body 1. Before tearing the tearable adhesive strip 4 or the easy-tear perforated line 6, the foot towel is suitable for flip-flops; after tearing, it is suitable for thongs, making it widely applicable. The easy-tear perforated line is also made of disposable absorbent hygienic material.
[0046] This utility model provides a disposable sock-shaped foot drying towel with multiple uses, suitable for both home and travel. At home, for example, after showering in slippers, the disposable sock-shaped foot drying towel can be used to quickly dry feet and slippers. When traveling, for example, after playing on the beach and washing feet, the disposable sock-shaped foot drying towel can be used to quickly change travel locations without waiting for water to air dry. Furthermore, after arriving at a destination in slippers on a rainy day, the disposable sock-shaped foot drying towel can also be used to quickly dry feet and slippers, reducing discomfort and preventing chills. This utility model has many applicable scenarios and is inexpensive, making it highly practical.
[0047] The above description is only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and is not intended to limit it. Any modifications or substitutions made to the technical solution by other people skilled in the art, as long as they do not depart from the connotation of the technical solution of this utility model, should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
