Golf towel and golf towel assembly

Abstract

A golf towel is provided which includes a single, multi-layered towel article having a top end and a bottom end. The towel article is folded in half along a vertical plane at a midpoint thereof so as to form a pair of facing interior sheeting surfaces that are impervious to moisture, a gap open at the bottom end of the towel article between the facing interior sheeting surfaces, and a pair of external sheeting surfaces. The facing inner sheeting surfaces and corresponding outer sheeting surfaces form opposing but separate panels of the towel article. The panels are bound to each other only across one side of the towel article. The golf towel includes attachment means provided on the towel article for attachment to an external article.

1 . A golf towel, comprising:
 a single, composite towel article having a top end and bottom end and consisting of a first inner sheet, a second outer sheet and a third sheet between the first inner and second outer sheets, the three sheets bound together to form the single composite towel article,   the towel article folded in half so as to form a pair of facing interior sheeting surfaces of the first inner sheet, and to form a gap open at the bottom end of the towel article between the facing interior sheeting surfaces,   the folded towel article forming a pair of external sheeting surfaces of the second outer sheet,   the third sheet serving as a moisture impervious barrier layer so that the interior sheeting surfaces when wet do not translate moisture to the external sheeting surfaces.   
   
   
       2 . The golf towel of  claim 1 , further comprising attachment means provided at an upper corner of the top end for attaching the golf towel to an external article. 
   
   
       3 . The golf towel of  claim 2 , wherein the attachment means further comprises,
 a pair or holes provided at the top end through the three sheets on either side of a plane where the towel article is folded so as to align at an upper corner of the folded towel article, and   a pair of grommets provided in the aligned holes for receiving an attachment mechanism of the external article.   
   
   
       4 . The golf towel of  claim 3 , wherein the external article is one of a golf bag, a belt worn by a person and a belt loop of pants worn by a person, and wherein the attachment mechanism is a carabiner. 
   
   
       5 . The golf towel of  claim 2 , wherein the attachment means further comprises,
 a webbing article having formed loops at either end and stitched to the towel article at an upper corner of a plane where the towel article is folded, one loop secured within the towel article and the other loop extending from the upper corner for receiving an attachment mechanism of the external article.   
   
   
       6 . The golf towel of  claim 5 , wherein the external article is one of a golf bag, a belt worn by a person and a belt loop of pants worn by a person, and wherein the attachment mechanism is a carabiner. 
   
   
       7 . The golf towel of  claim 1 , wherein the folded towel article is bound across its top surface to form the gap at the bottom end between the facing bound inner sheeting surfaces of the first inner sheet, and to form the outer sheeting surfaces of the connected second outer sheet. 
   
   
       8 . The golf towel of  claim 1 , wherein the gap is formed so that the facing inner sheeting surfaces of the first inner sheet and corresponding outer sheeting surfaces of the connected second outer sheet form opposing but separated panels of the towel article along a single vertical side surface of the towel opposite a side where the towel article is folded, the panels connected to each other only across the top surface of the towel. 
   
   
       9 . The golf towel of  claim 1 , wherein the first inner sheet and connected second outer sheet are composed of a material selected from a group consisting of terry cloth, terry cloth combined with filaments of one or more of cotton, polyester, polyimide, polyurethane, sponge, synthetic or natural chamois leather, and a microfiber. 
   
   
       10 . The golf towel of  claim 1 , wherein the third sheet is composed of a flexible plastic sheet material selected from a group consisting of vinyl, polyethylene, polyurethane and polypropylene. 
   
   
       11 . The golf towel of  claim 1 , wherein the facing inner sheeting surfaces of the first inner sheet have a coarser surface as compared to the outer sheeting surfaces of the second outer sheet. 
   
   
       12 . The golf towel of  claim 1 , wherein one or more of the first, second and third sheets includes a bactericidal agent or a mildewicidal agent. 
   
   
       13 . The golf towel of  claim 1 , wherein the gap formed at the bottom end permits the facing inner sheeting surfaces to remain dry when the towel is subjected to precipitation or moisture in the environment. 
   
   
       14 . The golf towel of  claim 1 , wherein the facing inner sheeting surfaces of the first inner sheet and corresponding outer sheeting surfaces of the connected second outer sheet form opposing but separated panels of the towel, and wherein a corner of one of the panels is fixedly folded up against its outer sheeting surface to facilitate insertion of a golf club head or hand therein. 
   
   
       15 . A golf towel, comprising:
 a single, multi-layered towel article having a top end and a bottom end and folded in half along a vertical plane at a midpoint of the towel article so as to form a pair of facing interior sheeting surfaces that are impervious to moisture, a gap open at the bottom end of the towel article between the facing interior sheeting surfaces, and a pair of external sheeting surfaces, the facing inner sheeting surfaces and corresponding outer sheeting surfaces forming opposing but separate panels of the towel article, wherein the panels are bound to each other only across one side of the towel article, and   attachment means provided on the towel article for attachment to an external article.   
   
   
       16 . The golf towel of  claim 15 , wherein the panels of the towel article are separate along a single vertical side surface of the towel article opposite a side where the towel article is folded. 
   
   
       17 . The golf towel of  claim 15 , wherein the multi-layered towel article further comprises a first layer sheet, a second layer sheet and a third layer sheet interposed between the first and second sheets, the three sheets bound together around an outer periphery thereof to form the single, multi-layered towel article.

 the first and second layer sheets are composed of a material selected from a group consisting of terry cloth, terry cloth combined with filaments of or more of cotton, polyester, polyimide, polyurethane and a microfiber, and   the third sheet is composed of a flexible plastic sheet material selected from a group consisting of vinyl, polyethylene, polyurethane and polypropylene.   
   
   
       19 . The golf towel of  claim 17 , wherein one or more of the first, second and third sheets includes a bactericidal agent or a mildewicidal agent. 
   
   
       20 . The golf towel of  claim 15 , wherein the gap formed at the bottom end permits the facing interior sheeting surfaces to remain dry when the towel is subjected to precipitation or moisture in the environment.
