Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Handtuch, wie insbesondere ein Sport- und/oder Saunahandtuch nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. Das Handtuch weist ein übliches Tuchmaterial, wie beispielsweise ein saugfähiges Textilgewebe, wie beispielsweise Frottee, Microfaser oder einen Fleece-Stoff auf. Zudem ist ein Befestigungsgurt vorgesehen, der in erster Linie für die Befestigung des Handtuchs an einer Hüfte des Benutzers dient. Dabei ist der Befestigungsgurt über eine erste Gurtverbindung und eine zweite Gurtverbindung mit dem Tuchmaterial dauerhaft oder abnehmbar verbunden. Darüber hinaus weist das Handtuch Faltsicherungsmittel auf, mittels denen das Tuchmaterial in einer gefalteten Position festgelegt werden kann. Dabei ist die Faltposition, in der das Tuchmaterial fixiert wird, entlang einer Faltrichtung herstellbar, die parallel zu einer durch die beiden Gurtverbindungen definierten Verbindungsgeraden gerichtet ist, so dass die wenigstens eine dabei hergestellte Faltlinie quer zur Verbindungsgeraden verläuft. Auf diese Weise steht die Faltrichtung des Tuchmaterials bei üblicher Verwendung des Handtuchs mit aufgerichtetem Körper des Benutzers im Wesentlichen quer zur Gravitationsrichtung. Hierdurch kann das Tuchmaterial vom Befestigungsgurt streifenförmig herunterhängen, um vom Benutzer bei Bedarf leicht ergriffen werden zu können und ohne, dass es sich dabei auffaltet. Zudem kann die Breite des streifenförmig zusammen gefalteten Tuchmaterials hierbei mittels der Faltsicherungsmittel derart bestimmt werden, dass es während der vorgesehenen Anwendung zu keinen wesentlichen Störungen kommt.The invention relates to a towel, in particular a sports and/or sauna towel. In addition, a fastening strap is provided, which primarily serves to fasten the towel to a hip of the user. The fastening strap is permanently or detachably connected to the cloth material via a first strap connection and a second strap connection. In addition, the towel has anti-folding means, by means of which the towel material can be fixed in a folded position. The folding position in which the cloth material is fixed can be produced along a folding direction which is directed parallel to a straight connecting line defined by the two belt connections, so that the at least one fold line produced runs transversely to the straight connecting line. In this way, the folding direction of the towel material is essentially transverse to the direction of gravitation during normal use of the towel with the user's body upright. This allows the cloth material to hang down in strips from the fastening strap so that the user can grasp it easily if necessary and without it unfolding in the process. In addition, the width of the cloth material folded together in strips can be determined by means of the folding securing means in such a way that there are no significant disruptions during the intended application.

Aus US 4,698,854 ist ein Sporthandtuch bekannt, das in einer gefalteten Position des Tuchmaterials am Körper getragen werden kann. Neben einem Hüftgurt weist das Handtuch hierzu Faltsicherungsmittel auf, über die das Tuchmaterial in einer parallel zum Hüftgurt gefalteten Position gehalten werden kann. Ferner ist eine Ausführungsform vorgesehen, in der das Tuchmaterial in der gefalteten Position am Rand vernäht ist.Out of U.S. 4,698,854 a sports towel is known which can be worn on the body in a folded position of the towel material. For this purpose, in addition to a hip belt, the towel has folding securing means, via which the towel material can be held in a folded position parallel to the hip belt. An embodiment is also contemplated in which the sheet material is edge stitched in the folded position.

Nachteilig an dem bekannten Handtuch ist dabei, dass das Tuchmaterial durch die Faltsicherungsmittel nur unzureichend in der Faltposition gehalten werden kann. Insbesondere während einer sportlichen Betätigung kann das Tuchmaterial dadurch leicht auseinanderklappen, was vom Benutzer als stören empfunden wird. Bei der fest vernähten Ausführungsform ist das Tuchmaterial für den Benutzer nur begrenzt zugänglich und kann im feuchten Zustand nur unzureichend trocknen.The disadvantage of the known towel is that the towel material can only be held inadequately in the folded position by the folding securing means. As a result, the cloth material can easily unfold, particularly during sporting activities, which the user finds annoying. In the case of the firmly sewn embodiment, the cloth material has only limited access for the user and cannot dry sufficiently when wet.

US 4,771,478 zeigt ein Handtuch mit Klett/Flausch-Verbindungsmitteln, das in einem gefalteten Zustand mit Klett/Flausch-Gegenverbindungsmitteln verbunden werden kann, die an einem Hosenbund angebracht sind. Zur Sicherung der Klett/Flausch-Verbindung im gefalteten Zustand des Handtuchs sind an dem Hosenbund zudem Knöpfe und Knopflochklappen angenäht. U.S. 4,771,478 shows a towel with hook and loop fasteners which, in a folded condition, can be connected to mating hook and loop fasteners attached to a pant waistband. To secure the Velcro/Velcro connection when the towel is folded, buttons and buttonhole flaps are also sewn onto the waistband.

US 4,403,366 beschreibt ein sowohl in Längs- als auch in Querrichtung gefaltetes und teilweise vernähtes Handtuch, das eine Tasche für Golf- oder Tennisbälle bildet und über eine Klett/Flausch-Verbindung an einem Gürtelclip befestigt werden kann. U.S. 4,403,366 describes a towel that is folded both lengthways and widthways and is partially sewn to form a pocket for golf or tennis balls and attaches to a belt clip with a hook and loop fastener.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, bei einem gattungsgemäßen Handtuch die genannten Nachteile zu vermeiden und einen guten Zugriff auf das Tuchmaterial sowie ein komfortables Tragen während einer sportlichen Betätigung oder Wellness-Anwendung zu gewährleisten.The object of the invention is to avoid the disadvantages mentioned in a generic towel and to ensure good access to the towel material and comfortable wearing during sporting activities or wellness applications.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Handtuch mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Dabei weisen die Faltsicherungsmittel am Tuchmaterial erste Verbindungsmittel und erste Verbindungsgegenmittel am Tuchmaterial auf, die an der Verbindungsgeraden angeordnet und miteinander verbindbar sind. Hierdurch kann das gefaltete Tuchmaterial auch bei Zugkräften, die während einer Anwendung auf die Gurtverbindungen wirken, sicher in der vorgesehenen Faltposition gehalten werden.This problem is solved by a towel with the features of claim 1. The folding securing means on the cloth material have first connecting means and first counter-connecting means on the cloth material, which are arranged on the straight connecting line and can be connected to one another. As a result, the folded cloth material can be held securely in the intended folding position even in the event of tensile forces acting on the belt connections during use.

Dabei ist es günstig, wenn die Faltsicherungsmittel zusätzlich zu den ersten Verbindungsmitteln und Verbindungsgegenmitteln wenigstens zweite Verbindungsmittel und Verbindungsgegenmittel aufweisen, die parallel zur Verbindunggeraden angeordnet und auch parallel zur Verbindungsgeraden miteinander verbindbar sind. Hierdurch ist ein zweifaches beziehungsweise mehrfaches Falten des Tuchmaterials in der zur Verbindungsgeraden parallelen Faltrichtung möglich. Auf diese Weise kann das Tuchmaterial besonders kompakt zusammengefaltet werden. Vorteilhafterweise sind zudem dritte Verbindungsmittel und -gegenmittel vorgesehen, die quer versetzt zur Verbindungsgeraden und parallel zu den ersten Verbindungsmitteln -und gegenmitteln und/oder den zweiten Verbindungsmitteln -und gegenmitteln angeordnet sind. Auf diese Weise kann eine durch die ersten und/oder zweiten Verbindungsmittel -und gegenmittel hergestellte Faltlinie zusätzlich durch die dritten Verbindungsmittel und -gegenmittel gesichert werden, wodurch das Tuchmaterial besonders stabil in der Faltposition gehalten werden kann.It is advantageous if the folding securing means have, in addition to the first connecting means and counter-connecting means, at least second connecting means and counter-connecting means, which are arranged parallel to the straight connecting line and can also be connected to one another parallel to the straight connecting line. This allows the cloth material to be folded twice or multiple times in the folding direction parallel to the straight connecting line. In this way, the cloth material can be folded up in a particularly compact manner. Advantageously, third connecting means and counter-means are also provided, which are arranged offset transversely to the connecting straight line and parallel to the first connecting means and counter-means and/or the second connecting means and counter-means. In this way, a fold line produced by the first and/or second connecting means and counter means can also be secured by the third connecting means and counter means, as a result of which the cloth material can be held particularly stably in the folded position.

Zudem ist es günstig, wenn zwischen dem ersten Verbindungsmittel und dem zugehörigen ersten Verbindungsgegenmittel in der Faltposition genau eine Faltlinie ausgebildet ist, so dass die entlang dieser Faltlinie vorgenommene Faltposition stabil gesichert ist und ein ungewolltes bereichsweises Auffalten des Tuchmaterials vermieden werden kann.In addition, it is favorable if exactly one fold line is formed between the first connecting means and the associated first mating connecting means in the folded position, so that along This fold line made folding position is stably secured and unintentional unfolding of areas of the cloth material can be avoided.

Vorteilhafterweise ist das Tuchmaterial mittels der Faltsicherungsmittel zusätzlich in einer weiteren Faltrichtung festlegbar, die quer zur Verbindungsgeraden gerichtet ist. Auf diese Weise kann das Tuchmaterial in einer besonders kompakten Faltposition am Befestigungsgürtel gesichert werden.Advantageously, the cloth material can also be fixed in a further folding direction, which is directed transversely to the connecting straight line, by means of the folding securing means. In this way the cloth material can be secured in a particularly compact folded position on the attachment belt.

Hierbei ist es günstig, wenn die Faltsicherungsmittel zusätzlich zu den ersten Verbindungsmitteln und -gegenmitteln und/oder den zweiten Verbindungsmitteln und -gegenmitteln vierte Verbindungsmittel und Verbindungsgegenmittel aufweisen, die quer zur Verbindungsgeraden angeordnet und auch quer zur Verbindungsgeraden miteinander verbindbar sind, um auch in der zusätzlichen Faltrichtung quer zur Verbindungsgeraden eine stabile Festlegung des gefalteten Tuchmaterials gewährleisten zu können.It is favorable here if the folding securing means have, in addition to the first connecting means and counter-means and/or the second connecting means and counter-means, fourth connecting means and counter-connecting means, which are arranged transversely to the straight connecting line and can also be connected to one another transversely to the straight connecting line in order to also in the additional Folding direction transverse to the straight line to ensure a stable definition of the folded cloth material.

Vorteilhafterweise bilden die Verbindungsmittel und Verbindungsgegenmittel zudem eine Verbindungsanordnung beziehungsweise eine Verbindungsart, die aus der Gruppe bestehend aus Druckknopfverbindung, Klett/Flausch-Verbindung, Knopf/Knopfloch-Verbindung und/oder Haken/Öse-Verbindung ausgewählt ist. Hierdurch kann eine stabile und bei Bedarf leicht zu lösende Verbindung gewährleistet werden.Advantageously, the connecting means and counter-connecting means also form a connection arrangement or a type of connection that is selected from the group consisting of snap fasteners, hook and loop fasteners, button/buttonhole fasteners and/or hook/eyelet fasteners. This ensures a stable connection that can be easily released if necessary.

Dabei ist es günstig, wenn die Verbindungsanordnung zusätzliche Magnetmittel aufweist, die mit Magnetgegenmitteln zusammenwirken. Hierdurch kann insbesondere bei Druckknopfverbindungen oder Haken-Ösenverbindungen eine komfortablere Verbindung durch die sich selbsttätig anziehenden Verbindungsmittel und Verbindungsgegenmittel ermöglicht werden, wie beispielsweise mit nur einer Hand.It is favorable here if the connection arrangement has additional magnet means which interact with counter magnet means. In this way, particularly in the case of snap fastener connections or hook-and-loop connections, a more comfortable connection can be made possible by the automatically tightening connection means and connection counter-means, such as with just one hand.

Ferner ist es günstig, wenn die erste Gurtverbindung und die zweite Gurtverbindung jeweils durch eine Naht hergestellt ist, um eine stabile und zugfeste Anbindung des Befestigungsgurtes am Tuchmaterial gewährleisten zu können. Die Naht kann dabei jeweils durch wenigstens eine quer zur Verbindungsgeraden verlaufende Quernaht gebildet sein, so dass beide Gurtverbindungen insbesondere die in Längsrichtung des Befestigungsgurtes auftretenden Zugkräfte aufnehmen können.Furthermore, it is favorable if the first strap connection and the second strap connection are each made by a seam in order to be able to ensure a stable and tensile connection of the fastening strap to the cloth material. The seam can in each case be formed by at least one transverse seam running transversely to the straight connecting line, so that both belt connections can absorb the tensile forces occurring in the longitudinal direction of the fastening belt.

Alternativ hierzu ist die erste Gurtverbindung und die zweite Gurtverbindung jeweils vorteilhafterweise durch lösbare Gurtverbindungsmittel hergestellt, um den Befestigungsgurt bedarfsweise entfernen zu können, wie beispielsweise vor dem Waschen des Tuchmaterials. Zudem kann der Befestigungsgurt auf diese Weise beliebig ausgetauscht werden, um beispielsweise eine andere Farbe zu verwenden.As an alternative to this, the first belt connection and the second belt connection are each advantageously produced by detachable belt connection means in order to secure the fastening belt to be able to be removed if necessary, such as before washing the cloth material. In addition, the fastening strap can be exchanged as desired in this way, for example to use a different color.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform sind die erste Gurtverbindung und die zweite Gurtverbindung innerhalb eines gemeinsamen durchgehenden Gurtverbindungsabschnittes ausgebildet. Dieser kann über seine gesamte Länge mit dem Tuchmaterial vernäht beziehungsweise über lösbare Gurtverbindungsmittel verbunden sein. Hierdurch kann der Befestigungsgurt einteilig ausgeführt und besonders stabil mit dem Tuchmaterial verbunden werden.In an advantageous embodiment, the first belt connection and the second belt connection are formed within a common continuous belt connection section. This can be sewn to the cloth material over its entire length or connected via detachable belt connection means. As a result, the fastening strap can be made in one piece and connected to the cloth material in a particularly stable manner.

Zudem ist es günstig, wenn an dem Tuchmaterial eine Tasche eingelassen ist. Hierdurch kann das Handtuch auch zur Aufbewahrung und zum Mitführen von Gegenständen während einer Trainingseinheit oder einer Wellnessanwendung dienen, wie beispielsweise von Schlüsseln, Geld, ID- beziehungsweise Checkkarten oder einem Telefon.In addition, it is favorable if a pocket is embedded in the cloth material. As a result, the towel can also be used to store and carry objects during a training session or a wellness application, such as keys, money, ID or check cards or a telephone.

Vorteilhafterweise ist die Tasche dabei in einem vorzugsweise mittleren Bereich des Tuchmaterials vorgesehen, der in der Faltposition durch einen anderen Abschnitt des Tuchmaterials abgedeckt ist, so dass die Tasche beim Tragen oder Ablegen des Handtuchs in der Faltposition zum besseren Diebstahlschutz nicht sichtbar ist.Advantageously, the pocket is provided in a preferably central area of the towel material, which is covered by another section of the towel material in the folded position, so that the pocket is not visible when carrying or putting down the towel in the folded position for better protection against theft.

Ferner ist es besonders günstig, wenn an dem Tuchmaterial wenigstens eine randseitige Lasche ausgebildet ist, die für die Befestigung an einer Bank beziehungsweise einem Sitz dient. Hierdurch kann das Handtuch während einer Trainingseinheit derart an der betreffenden Bank oder dem betreffenden Sitz befestigt werden, dass es gegen ein versehentliches Verrutschen gesichert ist.Furthermore, it is particularly favorable if at least one edge tab is formed on the cloth material, which is used for attachment to a bench or a seat. This allows the towel to be attached to the bench or seat in question during a training session in such a way that it is secured against accidental slipping.

As an alternative to this, the belt connections 6, 8 can also be formed by detachable belt connection means (not shown), so that the fastening belt 10 can be removed from the cloth material 4 if necessary, such as before washing the cloth material 4. All known and suitable detachable belt connection means can be used for this be, such as Velcro / Velcro connections, snap buckle connections or button / buttonhole connections.

Wie aus Figur 1 ferner zu entnehmen ist, sind mehrere Faltsicherungsmittel vorgesehen, die am oberen Rand R erste Verbindungsmittel 12 und erste Verbindungsgegenmittel 14 umfassen, die durch Falten des Tuchmaterials 4 entlang einer Faltrichtung Fla um eine einzelne erste Faltlinie 16 herum miteinander verbunden werden können. Darüber hinaus sind zweite Verbindungsmittel 18 und zweite Verbindungsgegenmittel 20 vorgesehen, die durch Falten des Tuchmaterials entlang einer Faltrichtung Flb um eine zweite Faltlinie 22 sowie eine dritte Faltlinie 24 herum miteinander verbunden werden können, um das Tuchmaterial 4 in eine kompakte Faltposition gemäß den Figuren 2 und 3 zu verbringen.How out figure 1 It can also be seen that several folding securing means are provided, which comprise first connecting means 12 and first counterconnecting means 14 at the upper edge R, which can be connected to one another by folding the cloth material 4 along a folding direction Fla around a single first folding line 16. In addition, second connecting means 18 and second mating connecting means 20 are provided, which are obtained by folding the cloth material along a folding direction Flb around a second fold line 22 and a third fold line 24 can be connected to each other to the cloth material 4 in a compact folded position according to Figures 2 and 3 to spend.

Wie in den Figuren 2 und 3 dargestellt, kann das Handtuch 2 in dieser Faltposition mittels des Befestigungsgurtes 10 an der Hüfte H eines Benutzers B angelegt werden, um beispielsweise während einer Sport- oder Wellnessanwendung in komfortabler Weise mitgeführt werden zu können. Zum Verbinden der Enden E des Befestigungsgurtes 10 können hierbei Verschlussmittel 26 in jeder bekannten und geeigneten Ausführungsform verwendet werden, wie beispielsweise in Form eines Schnapp-, Klett/Flausch- oder Knopf/Knopfloch-Verschlusses.As in the Figures 2 and 3 shown, the towel 2 can be applied to the hip H of a user B in this folded position by means of the fastening strap 10 in order to be able to be carried along comfortably, for example during a sports or wellness application. To connect the ends E of the fastening strap 10, closure means 26 can be used in any known and suitable embodiment, for example in the form of a snap, Velcro/loop or button/buttonhole closure.

Wie insbesondere aus Figur 1 zu entnehmen ist, sind sowohl die ersten Verbindungs- und Verbindungsgegenmittel 12, 14 als auch die zweiten Verbindungs- und Verbindungsgegenmittel 18, 20 an einer durch die beiden Gurtverbindungen 6, 8 definierten Verbindungsgeraden 28 angeordnet. Die zweiten Verbindungs- und Verbindungsgegenmittel 18, 20 sind dabei entlang der Verbindungsgeraden 28 versetzt zu den ersten Verbindungs- und Verbindungsgegenmittel 12, 14 positioniert. Auf diese Weise liegen die ersten Verbindungs- und Verbindungsgegenmittel 12, 14 und zweiten Verbindungs- und Verbindungsgegenmittel 18, 20 am oberen Rand R auf Höhe der beiden Gurtverbindungen 6, 8 und können dadurch die am Befestigungsgurt 10 während des Tragens auftretenden Zugkräfte aufnehmen, ohne dass die Faltposition gemäß Figur 2 und 3 gestört wird.Like in particular figure 1 As can be seen, both the first connecting and counter-connecting means 12, 14 and the second connecting and counter-connecting means 18, 20 are arranged on a straight connecting line 28 defined by the two belt connections 6, 8. The second connecting and counter-connecting means 18, 20 are offset along the connecting straight line 28 to the first connecting and counter-connecting means 12, 14 positioned. In this way, the first connecting and counter-connecting means 12, 14 and the second connecting and counter-connecting means 18, 20 are located at the upper edge R at the level of the two belt connections 6, 8 and can therefore absorb the tensile forces occurring on the fastening belt 10 while it is being worn, without the folding position according to Figure 2 and 3 is disturbed.

Wie aus Figur 1 ferner zu entnehmen ist, können an einem unteren Rand Ru des Tuchmaterials 4 parallel zu den ersten Verbindungs- und Verbindungsgegenmittel 12, 14 und/oder den zweiten Verbindungs- und Verbindungsgegenmittel 18, 20 ferner dritte Verbindungs- und Verbindungsgegenmittel 30, 32 vorgesehen sein, über die das Tuchmaterial 4 zusätzlich am unteren Rand Ru in der Faltposition gesichert werden kann.How out figure 1 can also be seen, third connecting and counter-connecting means 30, 32 can also be provided on a lower edge Ru of the cloth material 4 parallel to the first connecting and counter-connecting means 12, 14 and/or the second connecting and counter-connecting means 18, 20, via which the cloth material 4 can also be secured at the bottom Ru in the folded position.

Gemäß der in Figur 4 dargestellten weiteren Ausführungsform des Handtuches 2 ist das Tuchmaterial 4 zusätzlich in einer zweiten Faltrichtung F2 faltbar, die quer zur Verbindungsgeraden 28 gerichtet ist. Auch in dieser weitergehenden Faltposition gemäß Figur 5 ist das Tuchmaterial 4 zusätzlich fixierbar, um eine besonders kompakte Faltposition zur Verfügung zu stellen. Hierzu weisen die Faltsicherungsmittel zusätzliche vierte Verbindungs- und Verbindungsgegenmittel 34, 36 auf.According to the figure 4 In the further embodiment of the towel 2 illustrated, the towel material 4 can also be folded in a second folding direction F2, which is directed transversely to the straight connecting line 28. Also in this further folding position according to figure 5 the cloth material 4 can also be fixed in order to provide a particularly compact folding position. For this purpose, the folding securing means have additional fourth connecting and counter-connecting means 34, 36.

Alle miteinander verbindbaren Verbindungs- und Verbindungsgegenmittel 12, 14; 18, 20; 30, 32; 34, 36 können dabei durch eine Druckknopfverbindung, Klett/Flausch-Verbindung, Knopf/Knopflochverbindung und/oder Haken/Öse-Verbindung gebildet sein. Unabhängig von der jeweils gewählten Verbindungsanordnung können dabei an diesen zusätzliche Magnetmittel vorgesehen sein, die mit Magnetgegenmitteln zusammenwirken (nicht dargestellt), um durch die gegenseitigen Anziehungskräfte eine leichtere Handhabung der Verbindungs- und Verbindungsgegenmittel 12, 14; 18, 20; 30, 32; 34, 36 beim Verbinden zu ermöglichen.All connectable connection and connection counter-means 12, 14; 18, 20; 30, 32; 34, 36 can be formed by a snap fastener, hook and loop fastener, button/buttonhole connection and/or hook/eyelet connection. Regardless of the selected connection arrangement, additional magnetic means can be provided on these, which interact with counter-magnetic means (not shown) in order to facilitate handling of the connection and counter-connection means 12, 14; 18, 20; 30, 32; 34, 36 when connecting.

Figur 6 zeigt eine weitere Ausführungsform des Handtuchs (2), bei dem die erste Gurtverbindung (6) und die zweite Gurtverbindung (8) innerhalb eines gemeinsamen durchgehenden Gurtverbindungsabschnittes (40) ausgebildet sind. Zudem ist in einem mittleren Bereich des Tuchmaterials (4) eine Tasche (42) vorgesehen, die beispielsweise zur Aufnahme einer Checkkarte, eines Autoschlüssels, eines Telefons oder von Bargeld dimensioniert ist, und einen vorzugsweise verschließbaren Öffnungsschlitz (44) aufweist. figure 6 shows a further embodiment of the towel (2), in which the first belt connection (6) and the second belt connection (8) are formed within a common continuous belt connection section (40). In addition, a pocket (42) is provided in a central area of the cloth material (4), which is dimensioned for example to hold a check card, a car key, a telephone or cash and has a preferably closable opening slit (44).

Durch Falten des Tuchmaterials 4 entlang der ersten Faltrichtungen Fla und Flb um die erste Faltlinie 16 und die zweite Faltlinie 22 herum sowie anschließende Verbindung der Verbindungs- und Verbindungsgegenmittel 12, 14; 18, 20 wird diese Tasche (42) in der hergestellten Faltposition durch die beiden gefalteten Abschnitte des Tuchmaterials (4) abgedeckt und ist dadurch zu Zwecken des besseren Diebstahlschutzes nicht direkt einsehbar, wie aus Figur 7 zu entnehmen ist.By folding the cloth material 4 along the first folding directions Fla and Flb around the first folding line 16 and the second folding line 22 and then connecting the connecting and counter-connecting means 12, 14; 18, 20 this pocket (42) is covered in the folded position produced by the two folded sections of the cloth material (4) and is therefore not directly visible for better theft protection purposes, as shown in FIG figure 7 can be seen.

Ferner kann das Handtuch (2), wie beispielhaft an der Ausführungsform gemäß Figur 6 dargestellt, vorteilhafterweise eine randseitig ausgebildete Lasche 46 aufweisen, die zur leichteren Befestigung des Handtuchs (2) an einer Bank oder einem Sitz, wie beispielsweise an einem Trainingsgerät dienen kann. Zur zusätzlichen Befestigung kann dabei zudem auch der Befestigungsgurt 10 herangezogen werden.Furthermore, the towel (2), as exemplified by the embodiment according to figure 6 shown, advantageously have a tab 46 formed at the edge, which can be used for easier attachment of the towel (2) to a bench or a seat, such as on a training device. The fastening strap 10 can also be used for additional fastening.
