AI Technical Summary
Towels hung on a hook form clumps of tightly packed layers, leading to slow drying, microorganism growth, and increased washing frequency, which consumes natural resources and causes environmental harm.
Incorporating a small bracket or stiffened loop below the towel loop to ensure it hangs in a single layer, using materials like foam rubber or stiffened steel/plastic, reducing drying time and preventing microbial growth.
Enhances drying efficiency and reduces microbial contamination, minimizing resource consumption and odor development.

Abstract
Description
State of the art and problem
[0001] Towels hung on a hook form clumps of tightly packed layers of fabric. They dry slowly, which limits their usability and comfort.
[0002] The formation of microorganisms and the associated contamination and development of unpleasant odors are promoted.
[0003] These towels need to be washed more frequently, resulting in increased consumption of natural resources such as water and energy, and environmentally harmful detergents. Problem solving and benefits
[0004] The towel 1 presented here attempts to reduce these problems by incorporating a small bracket 1, for example in the form of a short rod made of a flexible material such as foam rubber, below the loop for the hook 2.
[0005] (It is also conceivable that the loop 2 itself is made of a stiffened material, such as steel wire or plastic, and thus replaces the towel hanger 3.)
[0006] This short hanger, with a length of between 5 and 10 cm, ensures that the towel hangs predominantly in a single layer on the hook, leading to a significant reduction in drying time and thus a limitation of the aforementioned problems.
[0007] For dish towels that are particularly suitable for this solution, the iron is also helpful when drying in hard-to-reach places. Explanations for the drawing Fig. 1: Towel with integrated hanger
[0008] The illustration shows a towel 1, for example made of cotton, to which a loop 2 is sewn for attachment to a hook.
[0009] Below the loop 2 there is a short sewn-in bracket 3, for example made of a flexible material such as foam rubber, which stiffens the towel at this point. Reference symbol list (1) Towel (2) Loop for the hook (3) integrated bracket
Claims
[1] Towel (1) with integrated hanger (3) characterized by , that it contains an integrated stiffening bar (3) which prevents the towel (1) from collapsing on the hook.
