Description
- This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 13/172,108, filed on Jun. 29, 2011, entitled “Quick Dry Textured Towel,” which is a continuation of PCT Application Serial No. PCT/US2010/031084, filed on Apr. 14, 2010, entitled “Quick-Dry Textured Towel” which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 61/169,615, filed Apr. 15, 2009. This application is also related to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/759,364, filed on Apr. 13, 2010. All of the above disclosures are hereby incorporated by reference.
- The invention relates in general to towels, and in particular to quick drying towels.
- Towels are typically used for drying. Accordingly, commercially available towels are designed for maximum absorption. At maximum absorption, it has been observed that commercially available towels weigh more than desirable, and also require longer than desirable drying times. One approach to reducing towel drying times and weight is to reduce the aesthetic properties (e.g., look and feel) of the towels, such as towels' bulk and softness. However, consumers desire aesthetically pleasing towels with quick drying times. Although commercially available towels have been generally adequate for the intended purposes, they have not been entirely satisfactory in all respects.
- What is needed, therefore, is an aesthetically pleasing towels with quick drying times.
- In response to these and other problems, in one embodiment, there is a quick dry towel, comprising a woven ground fabric comprising a plurality of warp yarns substantially parallel to each other, a plurality of weft yarns substantially parallel to each other and intersecting the plurality of warp yarns such that the plurality of weft yarns are substantially perpendicular to the plurality of warp yarns; a plurality of pile weave portions extending from the woven ground fabric; a plurality of flat weave portions alternating between the pile weave portions to form a diagonal design extending across a substantial portion of the towel, wherein the pile weave portions comprise terry loop yarns raised above the woven ground fabric to form terry loops where the loop is substantially wider the terry loop yarn, and the terry loop yarns comprise zero twist yarns such that a fabric weight of the towel is less than 350 g/m2.
- These and other features, and advantages, will be more clearly understood from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is important to note the drawings are not intended to represent the only aspect of the invention.
- The present disclosure is best understood from the following detailed description when read with the accompanying figures. It is emphasized that, in accordance with the standard practice in the industry, various features are not drawn to scale and are used for illustration purposes only. In fact, the dimensions of the various features may be arbitrarily increased or reduced for clarity of discussion

It will nevertheless be understood that no limitation of the scope of the invention is thereby intended. Any alterations and further modifications in the described embodiments, and any further applications of the principles of the inventions as described herein are contemplated as would normally occur to one skilled in the art to which the invention relates.
- The present disclosure relates generally to towels, and more particularly, to a quick-dry textured towel.
FIG. 1A is a diagrammatic view of a quick-drytextured towel 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure,FIG. 1B is a diagrammatic view of a surface portion 100A of the quick-drytextured towel 100 ofFIG. 1A , andFIG. 2 is a diagrammatic cross-sectional view of a portion of the quick-drytextured towel 100 ofFIG. 1A . The quick-drytextured towel 100 includes a lightweight fabric with a textured weave design. The textured weave design is achieved by alternating pile-weave portions 102 and flat-weave portions 104. The alternating pile-weave portions 102 and flat-weave portions 104 can extend along the length and/or width of the towel. The alternating textured weave design may extend substantially over one or both surfaces of thetowel 100. The textured weave design can also be in designated areas of thetowel 100 to achieve ornamental design. For example, the alternating textured weave design can extend diagonally with respect to the length and/or width of the towel. The textured weave design gives the quick-dry towel 100 a bulky, soft appearance despite its lightweight. - In the depicted embodiment, the pile-
weave portions 102 are sandwiched between flat-weave portions 104. The alternating pile-weave portions 102 andflat weave portions 104 extend from awoven ground fabric 106 of the quick-drytextured towel 100. A “woven fabric” can include fabric made by interlacing two or more systems of yarns at essentially right angles to each other. For example, thewoven ground fabric 106 can include a set of warp yarns and a set of weft (or filling) yarns intersecting and locked together. The set of warp yarns are substantially parallel to each other and the set of weft yarns are substantially parallel to each other. The set of warp yarns and set of weft yarns are substantially perpendicular to each other. The set of warp yarns are periodically interlaced with the set of weft yarns to form thewoven ground fabric 106. Thewoven ground fabric 106 may be a plain or twill weave construction. - The pile-
weave portions 102 include a plurality ofpile yarns 102A, and theflat weave portions 104 include a plurality ofyarns 104A. As illustrated inFIG. 2 , thepile yarns 102A andyarns 104A extend outwardly from at least one surface of thewoven ground fabric 106. In the present embodiment, theyarns 102A extend further from the surface of theground fabric 106 than theyarns 104A. Alternatively, the flat-weave portions 104 may not includeyarns 104A, instead comprising the portions of thewoven ground fabric 106 that do not have thepile yarns 102A extending therefrom. In yet another alternative, thepile yarns 102A and/oryarns 104A include yarns that extend varying distances from thewoven ground fabric 106. - The
pile yarns 102A and/oryarns 104A may be formed as additional warp yarns interspersed between the ground warps and interlaced with the weft yarns as known in the art, such that the yarns are tied into thewoven ground fabric 106. “Pile” are raised loops or cut loops that form a surface of a pile fabric. A pile fabric is a fabric having tufts protruding from a backing, such as thewoven ground fabric 106. In the present embodiment, thepile yarns 102A extend from the ground fabric in the form of one or more terry loops. Theyarns 104A can also extend from the ground fabric in the form of one or more terry loops. As illustrated inFIG. 2 , theterry loop yarns 104A may comprise a substantially wider loop than theterry loop yarns 102A. Alternatively, thepile yarns 102A and/oryarns 104A may extend from thewoven ground fabric 106 in the form of cut ends. Thepile yarns 102A of the quick-drytextured towel 100 comprise low-twist yarn. The low-twist yarn may be zero twist yarn. In the depicted embodiment, thepile yarns 102A comprise a zero twist terry yarn. The textured weave design opens up the terry loops to facilitate faster drying. - The quick-dry
textured towel 100 comprises any suitable material. In the present embodiment, thetowel 100 comprises substantially all cotton, for example, 100% cotton. Thetowel 100 may comprise other materials, such as polyester or rayon. Alternatively, the quick-drytextured towel 100 comprises one or a combination of combination of cotton, polyester, rayon, silk, wool, and/or other suitable man-made and/or natural materials. - In summary, the quick-dry
textured towel 100 includes a lightweight fabric including a plurality of low-twist pile yarns in a texture weave design. The lightweight fabric includes a fabric weight of less than about 350 g/m2. It has been observed that a direct relationship exists between a weight of a towel and its dry rate. For example, Table 1 below compares the quick-drytextured towel 100 of the present disclosure to commercially available towels. -
TABLE 1 Sample Dry Time Fabric Weight (g/m2) Total Size Quick-Dry Textured 20 min. 345 30.4″ × 54.7″ Towel Towel # 1 20 min. 398 24.4″ × 41.3″ Towel # 220 min. 352 24.5″ × 44.3″ Towel # 335 min. 491 25.5″ × 48.5″ Towel # 430 min. 612* 30″ × 56″ Towel # 530 min. 602* 30″ × 56″ Towel # 630 min. 610 30.6″ × 54.8″ Towel # 7 25 min. 481 39.1″ × 71.1″ - Table 1 provides a dry time, fabric weight, and total size of each towel. The dry time represents the total time required for the towel to dry in minutes. The fabric weight, illustrated in grams per square meter of towel (g/m2), is determined from the total weight and total size of the towel. The total size for the towel represents the length and width of the towel in inches. As evident from Table 1, the quick-dry textured towel exhibits one of the quickest drying times (e.g., 20 minutes) while maintaining the lightest fabric weight (e.g., 345 g/m2). It should be noted that from Table 1 above that while the fabric weight (g/m2) for
Towel textured towel 100 is superior and significantly different fromTowels - Table 2 below also compares the quick-dry
textured towel 100 of the present embodiment to commercially available towels, specifically providing test results related to a weight of each towel while drying. -
