Abstract
A towel clip for securing a towel around the waist of a user, the towel clip typically including a body. The body has a longitudinal axis, and an inner and outer surface. The body has a first leg and a second leg and a bridge section. The bridge section is typically semicircular and the first leg and second extend outward therefrom. An embodiment of Applicant's towel clip includes a convex upper rail located on the inner surface of the first leg and a pair of convex lower rails spaced apart on the lower legs and extending upward from the inner surface of the lower leg. The bridge section is resilient and the legs will spread apart to exert pressure on a folded towel to secure the same.
Claims4
A device for securing a towel to a person's body, the device comprising:
- a body having a longitudinal axis and having an inner and an outer surface, the body further comprising a first leg, and a second leg, and a bridge section connecting the first leg and the second leg;
- at least one convex upper rail extending from the inner surface of the first leg toward the second leg, generally along a longitudinal axis thereof;
- at least two convex lower rails, extending from the inner surface, spaced apart laterally from the longitudinal axis of the lower leg;
- and
- wherein the each of the rails has an aspect ratio;
- and
- wherein the aspect ratio of the lower rails is between about 4 and about 10 and wherein the aspect ratio of the upper rails is between about 1 and about 5.
