Multipurpose Wind Resistant Beach Towel

Abstract

A multipurpose wind resistant beach towel that has trapezoid shaped open-ended pockets attached to the bottom surface of the towel to form sand traps that anchor said towel to the sand and prevent the wind from displacing the towel. Open-ended pockets are used for ease of filling and removal of sand. Additionally the present invention allows for the removal of unwanted sand and debris from the surface of the said towel without removing it from the anchored position. Optionally the present invention may be used as a lounge chair cover by anchoring the towel to the head and foot of the lounge chair by use of sand traps. Lastly, the present invention functions as an easy to carry and or hang towel.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A multipurpose wind resistant beach towel comprising:
 a rectangular shaped absorbable fabric suitable for a beach, having a plurality of trapezoid shaped fabrics made of a stretchable material, denser than sand so that sand cannot transfer through the material, having said trapezoid shaped fabrics directly overlay corresponding areas of the bottom surface of said rectangular shaped fabric, attaching said trapezoid shaped fabrics to bottom surface corners of said rectangular shaped fabric by stitching along the adjoining perpendicular edges of said trapezoid shaped fabrics and corresponding perpendicular edges of said rectangular shaped fabric, having the smaller paralleled edge of said trapezoid shaped fabrics closest to said rectangular shaped fabric corner, leaving the paralleled larger edge unstitched and the smaller paralleled edge unstitched of said trapezoid shaped fabrics to said rectangular shaped fabric, leaving exposed a small obtuse, right, or acute triangular shaped portion of said rectangular shaped fabric uncovered by said trapezoid shaped fabrics on every corner of said rectangular shaped fabric where the longitudinal and latitudinal edges meet, creating a plurality of trapezoid shaped open-ended pockets.   
     
     
         2 . A multipurpose wind resistant beach towel according to  claim 1 , wherein a plurality of said trapezoid shaped open-ended pockets are formed by stitching the perpendicular edges of said trapezoid shaped fabrics to the adjoining edges of said rectangular shaped fabric corresponding perpendicular bottom surface corners. 
     
     
         3 . A multipurpose wind resistant beach towel according to  claim 1 , wherein the adjoined perpendicular edges of said trapezoid shaped fabrics and said rectangular shaped fabric creates a plurality of said open-ended pockets used for anchoring to sand. 
     
     
         4 . A multipurpose wind resistant beach towel according to  claim 1 , wherein the adjoined perpendicular edges of said trapezoid shaped fabrics and said rectangular shaped fabric creates a plurality of said open-ended pockets used for anchoring to a lounge chair. 
     
     
         5 . A multipurpose wind resistant beach towel according to  claim 1 , wherein the adjoined perpendicular edges of said trapezoid shaped fabrics and said rectangular shaped fabric creates a plurality of said open-ended pockets used to carry said multipurpose wind resistant beach towel by placing a finger through the smaller and larger open-ends of said open-ended pockets. 
     
     
         6 . A multipurpose wind resistant beach towel according to  claim 1 , wherein the adjoined perpendicular edges of said trapezoid shaped fabrics and said rectangular shaped fabric creates a plurality of said open-ended pockets used to hang said multipurpose wind resistant beach towel by placing an apparatus designed for hanging items through the smaller and larger open-ends of said open-ended pockets. 
     
     
         7 . A multipurpose wind resistant beach towel according to  claim 6 , wherein said trapezoid shaped fabrics comprising of nylon stretch material or non-nylon stretch material. 
     
     
         8 . A multipurpose wind resistant beach towel according to  claim 7 , wherein said trapezoid shaped fabrics comprising of sizes that vary dependent on sizing of said rectangular shaped fabric that said trapezoid shaped fabrics are to be adhered to, with said trapezoid shaped fabrics being of equal size and measurements to each other being no smaller than one inch long and no larger than thirty-six inches long on the larger open-ended paralleled edges, having each perpendicular edge of said trapezoid shaped fabrics stitched to the corresponding perpendicular edge of said rectangular shaped fabric at a point that the longitudinal and latitudinal perpendicular edges of both said trapezoid shaped fabrics and rectangular shaped fabric meet, so long as the positioning allows said trapezoid shaped fabrics to lay flat on said bottom surface of said rectangular shaped fabric and not exceed the bordering edges. 
     
     
         9 . A multipurpose wind resistant beach towel according to  claim 8 , wherein said trapezoid shaped fabrics comprising of elastic rubber sewn along the larger open-ended and smaller open-ended parallel edges. 
     
     
         10 . A multipurpose wind resistant beach towel according to  claim 9 , wherein said trapezoid shaped fabrics comprising without elastic rubber sewn along the larger open-ended and smaller open-ended parallel edges. 
     
     
         11 . A multipurpose wind resistant beach towel according to  claim 1 , wherein an obtuse, right, or acute triangular shaped portion of the rectangular shaped fabric is left uncovered by the trapezoid shaped fabrics at each of the corners where the longitudinal and latitudinal edges meet. 
     
     
         12 . A method of anchoring to sand said multipurpose wind resistant beach towel of  claim 1  having a plurality of trapezoid shaped open-ended pockets at each corner of the bottom surface of said rectangular shaped fabric, said method comprising the steps of:
 (a) grasping with either one or two hands the larger open-end of the trapezoid shaped open-ended pocket, and forcing the pocket into the sand in a downward scooping motion, to fill the open-ended pocket with sand, 
 (b) grasping the obtuse, right, or acute triangular shaped portion of the rectangular shaped fabric where the longitudinal and latitudinal edges meet, which is uncovered by the trapezoid shaped open-ended pocket and lifting upward to empty the trapezoid shaped open-ended pocket of sand. 
 
     
     
         13 . A method of using said multipurpose wind resistant beach towel of  claim 1  having a plurality of trapezoid shaped open-ended pockets at each corner of the bottom surface of said rectangular shaped fabric, said method of removing sand or other unwanted debris from the surface of said towel while anchored to said sand comprising the steps of:
 (a) grasping the center of the surface of said towel while in the anchored position, and moving said towel in an upward and downward motion. 
 
     
     
         14 . A method of anchoring to a lounge chair said multipurpose wind resistant beach towel of  claim 1  having a plurality of trapezoid shaped open-ended pockets at each corner of the bottom surface of said rectangular shaped fabric, said method comprising of:
 (a) grasping the trapezoid shaped open-ended pockets and placing them over the head and foot corresponding corners of the unaccompanied lounge chair
