Towel having securing aperture and method of securing towel to a rack

Abstract

The invention is a towel having a fabric base having a quadrilateral shape and a coupled first horizontal strip having a quadrilateral shape, the first horizontal strip being coupled proximate the top edge of the fabric base in a manner so as to create a loop formed by the fabric base and first horizontal strip. The invention is also a method of securing the towel to a rod, rack, bar or handle.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A towel, comprising:
 a fabric base having a quadrilateral shape;   a first horizontal strip having a quadrilateral shape, the first horizontal strip being coupled proximate the top edge of the fabric base in a manner so as to create a loop formed by the fabric base and first horizontal strip.   
     
     
         2 . The towel of  claim 1 , wherein the quadrilateral shapes of the fabric base and first horizontal strip are rectangular. 
     
     
         3 . The towel of  claim 1 , wherein the fabric base has a rectangle shape that is substantially planar, a front and back and a fabric base perimeter;
 the fabric base perimeter being a top edge, right edge, bottom edge, and left edge;   the first horizontal strip having a rectangle shape that is substantially planar and a front and back and a first horizontal strip perimeter;   the first horizontal strip perimeter having a top edge, right edge, bottom edge, and left edge.   
     
     
         4 . The towel of  claim 3 , wherein the fabric base top edge and fabric base bottom edge are substantially equal in length and have a length that is shorter than the fabric base right edge and fabric base left edge, the fabric base right edge and fabric edge left edge being substantially equal in length; and further wherein the first horizontal strip top edge and first horizontal strip bottom edge are substantially equal in length and have a length that is longer than the first horizontal strip right edge and first horizontal strip left edge, the first horizontal strip right edge and first horizontal strip left edge being substantially equal in length. 
     
     
         5 . The towel of  claim 4 , wherein the fabric base is oriented with respect to the first horizontal strip such that the fabric base top edge and fabric base bottom edge are in a horizontal position and the fabric base right edge and fabric base left edge are in a vertical position when the first horizontal strip top edge and first horizontal strip bottom edge are in horizontal position and the first horizontal strip right edge and first horizontal strip left edge are in a vertical position. 
     
     
         6 . The towel of  claim 5 , wherein the first horizontal strip is positioned toward the top edge of the fabric base. 
     
     
         7 . The towel of  claim 5 , wherein the first horizontal strip is positioned at the top edge of the fabric base. 
     
     
         8 . The towel of  claim 5 , wherein the first horizontal strip is coupled to the fabric base using a stitching pattern so as to form the loop. 
     
     
         9 . The towel of  claim 8 , wherein the stitching pattern comprises a stitching pattern proximate a left one-third of the fabric base, and a further stitching pattern is proximate a right one-third of the fabric base. 
     
     
         10 . The towel of  claim 9 , wherein each stitching pattern is configured result in an opening, aperture or loop between a planar back of first horizontal strip and a planar front of the fabric base. 
     
     
         11 . The towel of  claim 7 , wherein the first horizontal strip is glued to the fabric base. 
     
     
         12 . The towel of  claim 5 , wherein the fabric base is comprised of one of cotton, linen, blended fabrics, calico and terry cloth. 
     
     
         13 . The towel of  claim 5 , wherein the first horizontal strip is comprised of one of cotton, linen, blended fabrics, calico and terry cloth. 
     
     
         14 . The towel of  claim 5 , further comprising a second horizontal strip positioned proximate a bottom edge of the fabric base. 
     
     
         15 . The towel of  claim 14 , wherein the first horizontal strip and second horizontal strip include thereon a decorative printed pattern. 
     
     
         16 . A towel, comprising a fabric base further having a quadrilateral shape with a horizontal slit proximate the top side of the fabric base so as to create an aperture for receiving a portion of the fabric base there-through. 
     
     
         17 . A method of securing a towel to a rack, comprising:
 providing a fabric base having a quadrilateral shape and a first horizontal strip having quadrilateral shape, the first horizontal strip being coupled proximate the top edge of the fabric base so as to create a loop formed by a portion of the fabric base and a portion of first horizontal strip;   folding the left one-third of the fabric base and coupled first horizontal strip back lengthwise;   folding the right one-third of the fabric base and coupled first horizontal strip back lengthwise;   positioning the fabric base and coupled first horizontal strip proximate a rod, rack, bar or handle;   looping the bottom of the fabric base over the rod, rack, bar or handle and through the loop formed by the fabric base and coupled first horizontal strip; and   straightening the fabric base into in a neat and orderly position on the rod, rack, bar or handle.
