BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

(1) Field of the Invention

The disclosure relates to bath towel devices and more particularly pertains to a new bath towel device for drying off and exfoliating.

(2) Description of Related Art Including Information Disclosed under 37 CFR 1.97 and 1.98

The prior art relates to bath towel devices including a cloth with an absorbent surface and an abrasive surface. The prior art discloses a cylindrical towel with two open ends. The prior art discloses a towel that has an absorbent layer, a polishing layer, and an abrasive layer. The prior art discloses a towel that includes an abrasive mesh material for exfoliating. The prior art discloses a towel being comprised of a plurality of different absorbent layers and an abrasive layer. The prior art also discloses a corrugated towel for drying and exfoliating.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a towel that is comprised of a fluid absorbent material to dry a user when the user is wet. A pair of exfoliating strips is provided and each of the exfoliating strips is coupled to the towel to exfoliate the user's skin when the user employs the towel for drying off. Each of the exfoliating strips is comprised of an abrasive material to abrade dead skin from the user's body.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SEVERAL VIEWS OF THE DRAWING(S)

The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:

FIG. 1 is a top perspective view of an exfoliating bath towel assembly according to an embodiment of the disclosure.

FIG. 2 is a top view of an embodiment of the disclosure.

FIG. 3 is a front view of an embodiment of the disclosure.

FIG. 4 is a bottom view of an embodiment of the disclosure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 through 4 thereof, a new bath towel device embodying the principles and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by the reference numeral 10 will be described.
As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 4, the exfoliating bath towel assembly 10 generally comprises a towel 12 that is comprised of a fluid absorbent material to dry a user when the user is wet. The towel 12 has a first surface 14, a second surface 16 and a perimeter edge 18 extending therebetween, and the perimeter edge 18 has a top side 20, a bottom side 22, a first lateral side 24 and a second lateral side 26. The towel 12 has stitching 28 extending between the first lateral side 24 and the second lateral side 26. The stitching 28 includes a first stitch 30 that is spaced from the top side 20 and the stitching 28 includes a second stitch 32 is spaced from the bottom side 22.
A pair of exfoliating strips 34 is each coupled to the towel 12 to exfoliate the user's skin when the user employs the towel 12 for drying off. Each of the exfoliating strips 34 is comprised of an abrasive material to abrade dead skin from the user's body. The abrasive material may comprise a sand-paper like material, a sponge or any other type of abrasive material. Continuing, each of the exfoliating strips 34 has a primary surface 36, a secondary surface 38, a first end 40 and a second end 42.
The primary surface 36 of each of the exfoliating strips 34 is bonded to the first surface 14 of the towel 12. Additionally, each of the exfoliating strips 34 is aligned with a respective one of the first lateral side 24 and the second lateral side 26 of the perimeter edge 18 of the towel 12. Each of the exfoliating strips 34 extends substantially along the respective first lateral side 24 and second lateral side 26. The first end 40 of each of the exfoliating strips 34 is positioned adjacent to the first stitch 30 and the second end 42 of each of the exfoliating strips 34 is positioned adjacent to the second stitch 32.
In use, the towel 12 is employed to dry off after bathing or swimming. The exfoliating strips 34 can be rubbed along the user's body for exfoliating while drying off. In this way the user can simultaneously dry themselves off and exfoliate. Additionally, the second surface 16 of the towel 12 can be placed against the user for dying off without exfoliating. The towel 12 can be laundered in the same manner as existing towels.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
