Methods for utility/sport towel variants and additions

Abstract

Utility/sport towel variants and additions for creating a sports or utility towel that can be placed or hung out of the reach of any contaminants, in any environment, until needed. The utility/sport towel variants and additions generally includes the towel material, the various hooks, holes for bottle styles and placement, magnets for hanging, various fold indicators and making it easier to grip the bottle with towel on bottle.

The embodiments of the invention in which an exclusive property or privilege is claimed are defined as follows: 
     
         1 . An apparatus comprising:
 a bottle;   a sheet of material;   a plurality of apertures defined by the sheet and sized to receive a neck of the bottle;   wherein the sheet is folded such having the neck of the bottle extending through the plurality of apertures; and   wherein the folded sheet does not drape to a lower surface of the bottle.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the sheet is foldable according to a folding pattern having equally sized panels, each panel having an aperture of the plurality of apertures positioned substantially at a center thereof. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of gripping elements secured around at least one of the apertures of the plurality of apertures, the gripping elements positioned adjacent an outer surface of the bottle. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the sheet comprises first and second outer layers and an inner layer, the outer layers being more effective to wick moisture than the inner layer. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of apertures each define an opening having primary diameter portion and a lobe protruding from the primary diameter portion, wherein the lobes of at least two of the plurality of apertures are not aligned with one another. 
     
     
         6 . A method for storing a towel, comprising:
 folding the towel such that a plurality of apertures defined by the towel are aligned;   inserting a neck of a bottle within the plurality of apertures; and   placing the bottle upright on a surface such that the towel drapes from the neck around the bottle, the towel extending only partially toward the surface.   
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein
 the towel comprises fold indicators; and   folding the towel comprises folding the towel along fold indicators.   
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 6 ,
 wherein each aperture of the plurality of apertures defines an opening having a primary diameter portion and a lobe protruding from the primary diameter portion; and   the method further comprises twisting the towel such that the lobes of at least two of the plurality of apertures are not aligned.
