Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a towel for wrapping around the neck, and more particularly to a towel for wrapping around the neck that does not use fasteners such as buttons. [Background technology]

[0002] 2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, cooling towels, heating towels, and other towels wrapped around the neck have become widely used as a countermeasure against high temperatures in summer and low temperatures in winter. A neck towel will easily come undone and fall off if it is simply wrapped around the neck, so it is designed to be fastened around the neck with fasteners such as buttons or hook-and-loop fasteners so that it can be easily attached and detached.

[0003] Attaching fasteners such as buttons and hook-and-loop fasteners to the fabric material of a neck towel in this way has the disadvantage of increasing manufacturing costs. For this reason, in the past, a slit was provided at one end of a neck towel, and the other end of the towel wrapped around the neck was passed through the slit, allowing the towel to be fastened easily and detachably without incurring any cost.

[0004] However, in the case of the conventional slit type described above, there was a risk that the towel would come undone and fall off around the neck when the neck or other parts of the body were moved or subjected to external forces such as wind. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned problems with the conventional technology, and has as its object to provide a neck-wrapped towel that is difficult to slip off from around the neck. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] According to the invention described in claim 1, by inserting one end of a belt-shaped member twice through the first and second slits at one end of the belt-shaped member wrapped around the neck, the other end of the belt-shaped member is bent in a complex manner and inserted into the first and second slits, which increases the friction between both ends of the belt-shaped member, making the neck-wrapped towel less likely to come undone or fall off the neck even if it is subjected to external forces such as neck movement or wind. According to the device described in claim 4, the other end of the belt-shaped member is inserted a total of four times through the third and fourth slits and the first and second slits at one end of the belt-shaped member which is folded in half lengthwise and wrapped around the neck. This causes the other end of the belt-shaped member to bend in a complex manner and pass through the third and fourth slits and the first and second slits, thereby extremely increasing the friction between both ends of the belt-shaped member, making the neck-wrapped towel even less likely to come undone or fall off the neck even if the towel is subjected to external forces such as neck movement or wind.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0009] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to examples. EXAMPLES

[0010] A neck towel according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 7. Figure 1 is a front view of the neck towel according to the present invention, Figure 2 is a side view of the neck towel of Figure 1, Figure 3 is an explanatory diagram of the first and second regions, Figure 4 is an explanatory diagram of how to use the neck towel of Figure 1, Figure 5 is a side view of Figure 4, and Figures 6 and 7 are explanatory diagrams of how to use the neck towel. In these figures, reference numeral 1 denotes a neck towel, which is made of a rectangular, horizontally long belt-like member 2 made of cloth such as nonwoven fabric made of rayon, polyester, etc. This belt-like member 2 is formed to have a size of, for example, 70 cm in width on the long side and 30 cm in length on the short side, so that it can be wrapped around the neck.

[0011] At one longitudinal end 3 of the horizontally elongated rectangular belt-shaped member 2, there are two slits 6, 7 formed near one longitudinal edge (one end side) 4, through which the other end 5 of the belt-shaped member 2 can be inserted, and at one longitudinal end 3 of the belt-shaped member 2, there are slits 9, 10 formed near the other longitudinal edge (other end side) 8 from the slits 6, 7, through which the other end 5 of the belt-shaped member 2 can be inserted.

[0012] When the belt-shaped member 2 is divided into two upper and lower first and second regions 11 and 12 by a center line C extending in the horizontal direction, the slits 6 and 9 are provided in the first region 11, and the slits 7 and 10 are provided in the second region 12. The slits 6 and 9 extend in the longitudinal direction of the first region 11 of the belt-shaped member 2, and the slits 7 and 10 extend in the longitudinal direction of the second region 12 of the belt-shaped member 2. The slits 6 and 9 are arranged in a straight line at an interval of 5 to 10 cm in the longitudinal direction of the first region 11 of the belt-shaped member 2, and the slits 7 and 10 are arranged in a straight line at an interval of 5 to 10 cm in the longitudinal direction of the second region 12 of the belt-shaped member 2. The interval between the slits 6 and 9 and the interval between the slits 7 and 10 are the same.

[0013] The length of each of the slits 6, 7, 9, 10 is about 5 cm to 10 cm. By making the slits 6, 7, 9, 10 shorter than the vertical width of the belt-shaped member 2 when folded vertically in half, it is possible to increase friction between the slits 6, 7, 9, 10 and the belt-shaped member 2. When the belt-shaped member 2 is folded vertically in half along the center line C so that the first region 11 and the second region 12 overlap, the slits 6 and 7 overlap, and the slits 9 and 10 overlap.

[0014] Next, a method of wrapping the above-mentioned neck towel 1 around the neck will be described. First, the belt-shaped member 2 is folded in half vertically along the center line C so that slits 6 and 7 overlap, and slits 9 and 10 overlap (see Figs. 4 and 5). In this folded state, the belt-shaped member 2 is wrapped around the neck while bending it into an arc (see Fig. 6) so that one end 3 and the other end 5 in the longitudinal direction are at the front of the neck. Then, the other end 5 is passed through the overlapping portion of slits 9 and 10 of the one end 3, and then through the overlapping portion of slits 6 and 7, so that the end of the other end 5 protrudes out from the overlapping portion of slits 6 and 7 (see Fig. 7).

[0015] As a result, the other end 5 of belt-shaped member 2 is inserted a total of four times through slits 9 and slits 10, and slits 6 and slits 7 at one end 3 of belt-shaped member 2, which is folded in half lengthwise and wrapped around the neck.Since the other end 5 of belt-shaped member 2 is bent in a complex manner and inserted into the four slits 6, 7, 9 and 10, the friction between both longitudinal ends of belt-shaped member 2 becomes extremely large, and the neck-wrapped towel 1 is less likely to come undone or fall off the neck even if external forces such as neck movement or wind are applied to the neck-wrapped towel 1. Furthermore, when it is desired to remove the neck towel 1 from around the neck, one end 3 of the belt-shaped member 2 can be grasped and pulled midway through both ends of the belt-shaped member, thereby allowing the other end 5 to be easily removed from the four slits 6, 7, 9, and 10.

[0016] According to this embodiment, the other end 5 of the belt-shaped member 2 is inserted a total of four times through slits 9 and 10 and slits 6 and 7 at one end 3 of the belt-shaped member 2 which is folded in half lengthwise and wrapped around the neck. As a result, the other end 5 of the belt-shaped member 2 is bent in a complex manner and inserted into the four slits 6, 7, 9 and 10. This extremely increases the friction between both ends of the belt-shaped member 2, making the neck towel 1 less likely to come undone or fall off the neck even if external forces such as neck movement or wind are applied to the neck-wrapped towel 1. Furthermore, the slits 6 and 9, and 7 and 10 are provided to extend along the longitudinal direction of the belt-shaped member 2 and are aligned in a straight line, so that the slits can be easily processed.

[0017] In the above embodiment, the belt-shaped member 2 is folded in half lengthwise for use, but when it is not folded in half, as shown in Fig. 8, a slit 20 may be formed in one longitudinal end 3 of the horizontally elongated rectangular belt-shaped member 2, closer to one longitudinal edge (one end side) 4, through which the other end 5 of the belt-shaped member 2 can be inserted, and a slit 21 may be formed in one longitudinal end 3 of the belt-shaped member 2, closer to the other longitudinal edge (other end side) 8 than the slit 20, through which the other end 5 of the belt-shaped member 2 can be inserted. The length of each slit 20, 21 is about 5 cm to 10 cm. In this case as well, the slits 20 and 21 are provided to extend along the longitudinal direction of the belt-shaped member 2 and are arranged in a straight line with an interval of 5 to 10 cm between them, which makes it easier to process the slits.
