Definitions

  • the present invention is directed to a towel comprising at least one absorbent material and at least one heat resistant material.
  • the towel may be used in the home for cleaning liquid spills and for holding heated objects such as cooking pans.
  • Towels are often used in the home or in businesses, especially restaurants or other food preparation businesses. Towels are typically made up entirely of an absorbent material, such as cotton or other natural or synthetic materials. The towel may be used during or after food preparation and cooking to clean liquid spills or to dry surfaces of counters and cooking implements.
  • the present invention is directed to a towel comprising at least one absorbent material and at least one heat resistant material.
  • the absorbent material is preferably cotton, and the heat resistant material is preferably a silicone having a very high melting point.
  • the heat resistant material may be attached at one or both ends of the absorbent material to form the towel. Alternatively, the heat resistant material may be in a center portion with the absorbent material attached to two sides.
  • the absorbent material may be attached to the heat resistant material by stitching, insert molding, an adhesive, or other bonding means such as heat bonding.
  • the dual material towel of the present invention allows a user to hold a single item for both cleaning spills and for grasping hot cooking implements and utensils.
  • Other advantages of the dual material towel will be apparent to those skilled in the art based upon the following description of preferred embodiments.
  • Fig. IA shows a dual material towel of the present invention having an absorbent material attached to a heat resistant material.
  • Fig. IB shows a cross section of the towel from Fig. IA through section A-A.
  • Fig. 1C shows a view of Detail B from Fig. IB.
  • Fig. 2 shows the absorbent portion of the towel of Fig. IA being used to clean a spill.
  • Fig. 3 shows the heat resistant portion of the towel of Fig. IA being used to hold the handle of a hot cooking pan.
  • Fig. 4 A shows a dual material towel of the present invention having an absorbent material attached to a heat resistant material.
  • Fig. 4B shows a cross section of the towel from Fig. IA through section C-C.

  • Fig. 5 shows the absorbent portion of the towel of Fig. IA being used to clean a spill.
  • Fig. 6 shows the heat resistant portion of the towel of Fig. IA being used to hold the handle of a hot cooking pan.
  • the present invention is directed to a towel comprising an absorbent material and a heat resistant material.
  • the towel may be used both to clean surfaces or wipe spills, and to allow a user to grasp a hot item, such as a pan, oven rack, or other hot cooking implement.
  • the towel (10) comprises an absorbent material (12) and a heat resistant material (14).
  • a border strip (16) is fixedly attached to the outer perimeter of the absorbent material (10).
  • the absorbent material may be any material appropriate for use in cleaning surfaces or absorbing liquids, such as cotton, nylon, polyester or any other appropriate natural or synthetic material. Combinations of these materials can also be used, such as for example cotton and polyester, polyester and nylon or cotton and nylon.
  • the absorbent material is cotton.
  • the border strip may also be made of any suitable natural or synthetic material. The border strip is preferably the same material as the absorbent portion of the towel.
  • the heat resistant material (14) is a material with a high melting point that does not transfer heat quickly.
  • a high melting point silicone of the type used in various cooking implements or protective mitts is a preferred material for the heat resistant portion of the towel.
  • Other heat resistant elastomeric materials may also be used, such as for example santoprene or neoprene.
  • Leather may be used for the heat resistant material, although this is less desirable because it cannot be washed in an automatic washer.
  • the surface of the heat resistant material may be molded into any desired shape that may assist the user in grasping hot items. For example, as shown in Fig. IB, the heat resistant material (14) can be molded with a plurality of raised knobs (18) to provide improved friction for gripping.

  • the border strip (16) covers the end of the absorbent portion (12) and a tapered end (22) of the heat resistant portion (14).
  • the border strip is stitched to both the absorbent material and the heat resistant material using stitching (20).
  • the towel (30) comprises an absorbent portion (32) and two heat resistant portions (34) on opposite ends of the towel.
  • the towel is generally rectangular in shape.
  • the edge of the heat resistant material includes a channel for receiving the edge of the absorbent material. The edge of the absorbent material is inserted into the channel and fixed in position by glue, heat bonding or stitching.
  • the towel In normal use, the towel will be situated in an easily accessible location in the kitchen.
  • the towel may be hung over an oven door handle, on a hook, on a towel bar or over the shoulder of a cook.
  • the user can use the absorbent portion to wipe up spills.
  • the user may quickly change and use the heat resistant portion to handle hot implements such as a pan or oven rack. After use, the towel is placed back in its storage location or washed and put away.
