Modular towel systems

Abstract

A towel constructed of absorbent fabric, and at least two sets of male and female rivet fasteners, strategically located to mimic other garments when snapped together (i.e. a hooded robe, a cape, a poncho, a cover-up, wrap, sarong, and kilt), and may also be fastened to one another creating a blanket. The addition of fasteners to the snappy towel greatly expands the versatility and functionality of the garment.

         11 . The modular towel system of  claim 10  wherein said fasteners are fixably attached along said periphery of said towel inset from said first-edge, said second-edge, said third-edge, and said fourth-edge. 
     
     
         12 . The modular towel system of  claim 1  wherein said body of said towel is able to shroud an individual as desired. 
     
     
         13 . The modular towel system of  claim 10  wherein said fasteners comprise a riveted type. 
     
     
         14 . The modular towel system of  claim 13  wherein said periphery comprises at least two complete sets of said fasteners comprising said riveted type. 
     
     
         15 . The modular towel system of  claim 14  wherein said male-portion is located opposed in relation to said female-portion on said body. 
     
     
         16 . The modular towel system of  claim 15  wherein said male-portion is located on said first-edge, and said third-edge, and said female-portion is located on said second-edge, and said fourth-edge. 
     
     
         17 . A modular towel system comprising;
 a modular towel assembly having;
 a towel having;
 a body comprising;
 a front-surface; and 
 a back-surface; 
 
 a periphery comprising;
 a first-edge; 
 a second-edge; 
 a third-edge; and 
 a fourth-edge; and 
 
 a plurality of fasteners; 
 
   
       wherein said modular towel system comprises said modular towel assembly; 
       wherein modular towel assembly comprises in functional combination said towel and said fasteners; 
       wherein said towel comprises said body and said periphery, said periphery outlining said body; 
       wherein a thickness of said body is defined by said front-surface and said back-surface; 
       wherein said periphery is defined by said first-edge, said second-edge, said third-edge, and said fourth-edge;
