Title: Shower towel set equipped with holder

Description:
FIELD OF INVENTION 
     The present invention relates to a shower towel into which a user inserts his or her hand to wash the face and to shower when washing or showering and which is dried while being mounted on a holder before and after use, and a holder thereof, and more particularly to a shower towel set equipped with a holder for sufficiently and rapidly removing dirt via a simple shower in order to protect the skin from being easily injured due to bath habits that strongly remove dirt on the skin and for maintaining a clean condition by drying the shower towel by drying the shower towel while being mounted on the holder before and after use. 
     BACKGROUND OF INVENTION 
     In general, a so-called Italy towel is a bath product used to remove dirt attached to the body during bathing and is usually made of a rough cloth on both sides to remove dirt adhered to the stratum corneum of the skin through friction with the skin. 
     However, since the conventional scrubbing towel is made of a thin rough cloth on both sides, soap bubbles are not formed properly when soap is applied to the scrubbing towel, and thus consumption of soap increases and texture the scrubbing towel is not very suitable for soaping. 
     Although all of the conventional scrubbing towels are designed to be easily soaped, it is difficult to manufacture the towels due to the complicated structure thereof, which increases manufacturing costs. 
     In the conventional scrubbing towels, only a rough part of the cloth has a function of removing dirt from the skin, and in this regard, when children or women with weak skin try to remove dirt from the skin using these scrubbing towels, they experience pain in the skin or in severe cases, the stratum corneum of the skin peels off, causing scarring, and accordingly, there is a problem in avoiding use of the scrubbing towels. 
     That is, the conventionally manufactured scrubbing towel is a so-called “Italy towel”, and when a user tries to remove dirt, even the epidermal tissue of the skin is peeled off, thereby damaging the skin and accelerating aging of the skin. An improved towel is developed by weaving toweling paper by applying high twist of single yarn to yarns used for standing threads, pipe threads, and weft threads, but is only to the extent of extending a service life by increasing only the strength of the yarn. 
     As described above, in order to solve the problem of causing skin damage when a scrubbing towel is used excessively, there has been a need for a product that replaces the scrubbing towel. 
     Accordingly, a scrubbing towel, which is a flexible fabric material that replaces the so-called Italy towel, has a soft feel when in contact with the skin and facilitates generation of a lot of foam, but there is a problem that the scrubbing towel is used for only a simple shower as it is difficult to remove dirt accumulated on the skin. 
     In addition, in order to reduce skin damage, soft cotton yarn, silk yarn, filament rayon yarn, etc. are formed in a pile on a towel surface, but this may be used for simple washing or moisture removal, and a scrubbing effect is disadvantageously not achieved. 
     In addition, since the existing shower towel or scrubbing towel is maintained and stored in a bathroom in a state in which moisture does not evaporate, bacteria are easily propagated on the towel, and there is a boiling method in boiling water to prevent such bacterial infection. However, it is not easy to disinfect towels every time, and thus the towels are usually disinfected once every few days or are used without disinfection at all. 
     Therefore, the currently used shower towel is formed of a material on which bacterial growth is essentially difficult to prevent, and thus in order to overcome the problem, it is required to develop a product that is formed of a silicone material, does not primarily propagate bacteria, and is easy to sterilize and disinfect secondarily. 
     SUMMARY OF INVENTION 
     Technical Problem to be Solved 
     The present invention has been made in view of the above problems as follows. 
     First, the present invention may include a separate space for temporarily storing soap or other shower detergents to continuously generate bubbles during showering. 
     Second, the present invention may improve the feel of grip of the shower towel to prevent the shower towel from being separated from the hand by separately positioning the user&#39;s fingers within the space. 
     Third, the shower towel may be easily dried before and after showering. 
     Fourth, the shower towel and the holder may be formed of a material prepared by mixing a silicone material and powders formed by pulverizing cockleshell, and thus antibacterial and sterilization effects may be achieved, thereby maintaining a clean condition at all times. 
     Fifth, compared with a conventional grid-pattern shower towel, anti-slip parts shaped like a fingerprint similar to that of the human body may be provided on an inner bottom of a lower pad of the shower towel, and ridges may be provided at a predetermined position corresponding to a recess of the palm and predetermined positions corresponding to second joints of the fingers, and accordingly, when the user uses the shower towel according to the present invention, the user&#39;s hand and the shower towel according to the present invention may be in close contact with each other and may not be separated by minimizing the conventional problem in terms of separation between the user&#39;s hand and the shower towel.

     MODE FOR INVENTION 
     Hereinafter, an exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail. 
     Reference numeral  1  is a shower towel, and as shown in  FIGS. 1 and 2 , the shower towel  1  has a shape of, for example, a so-called mitten to separately position the thumb and the remaining four fingers as a whole. First, the shower towel  1  may include an entrance  10  that is formed at one side thereof and allows the hand to be put therein and a space  10 ′ that is provided inside the entrance  10  and accommodates the hand therein. 
     As shown in  FIG. 3 , an upper pad  100  including first cleaning brushes  101  formed outside the space  10 ′ while forming an upper side of the space  10 ′ and first through holes  102  perforated between the first cleaning brushes  101 , and 
     as shown in  FIG. 4 , a lower pad  110  including second cleaning brushes  111  formed outside the space  10 ′ while forming a lower side of the space  10 ′ and second through holes  112  perforated between the second cleaning brushes  111  may be integrally configured. 
     As shown in  FIGS. 10 and 11 , anti-slip parts  30  shaped like a fingerprint may be provided on an inner bottom of the lower pad  110 , and ridges  31  may be provided at a predetermined position corresponding to a recess of the palm and predetermined positions corresponding to second joints of the fingers. 
     As shown in  FIGS. 3 and 5 , first division protrusions  103  may be formed downward by a predetermined height to separately accommodate the thumb and a central part at the other side of an internal surface of the upper pad  100 . 
     As shown in  FIGS. 4 and 5 , second division protrusions  113  may be formed upward by a predetermined height to separately accommodate the thumb and a central part at the other side of an internal surface of the lower pad  110 , and a space between the first division protrusions  103  and the second division protrusions  113  may be opened. 
     As shown in  FIGS. 1 and 2 , a wrist tightening member  120  made of an elastic material may be integrally formed with the entrance  10  to allow the wrist to be closely attached to the shower towel  1 , and thus when the hand is pulled in and out of the shower towel  1 , the hand may be easily pulled in and out of the shower towel  1  by elasticity of the wrist tightening member  120 , and simultaneously, when the shower towel  1  is used after the hand is pulled in the shower towel  1 , the wrist tightening member  120  may tightly fix the hand, and thus the hand may not be separated from the shower towel  1  to eliminate inconvenience in use. 
     Next, reference numeral  2  may be a holder, and the holder  2  may hold the shower towel  1  before and after the shower towel  1  is used. 
     The holder  2  may include a bottom surface  20 , and a mounting member  200  that is formed upward integrally with the bottom surface  20 . 
     In detail, the shower towel  1  and holder  2  may be prepared by mixing 99 to 99.5% of silicone and 0.5 to 1% of cockleshell, and in detail, the cockleshell may include cockleshell formed by removing foreign substances from harvested cockleshell, cleaning, drying, and sterilizing the result, firing the result at 1200° C., and then pulverizing and powderizing the result, and thus the antibacterial and sterilization properties of the shower towel  1  and the holder  2  may be improved to maintain a clean condition at all times. 
     As shown in  FIG. 9 , the mounting member  200  of the holder  2  may be formed like a plate in which a plurality of through holes  201  is perforated and may have a shape of a mitten to separately position the thumb and the remaining four fingers. 
     In more detail, as shown in  FIGS. 6 to 8 , the holder  2  may include a second bottom surface  21  that is vertically bent from one side of the bottom surface  20 , and the mounting member  200  may be configured only by an edge part  210  shaped like a mitten to separately position the thumb and the remaining four fingers to allow a user to accommodate the holder  2  in a desired form. 
     Hereinafter, an operation according to the present invention will be described. 
     First, in the state in which the shower towel  1  is mounted on the holder  2  and is dried before the shower towel  1  is used, in order to use the shower towel  1 , when the user&#39;s hand is put in the entrance  10  and soap or shower detergent is dispensed and applied to the shower towel  1  to generate bubbles, the bubbles or moisture may smoothly flow through the first through holes  102  formed through the upper pad  100  and the second through holes  112  formed through the lower pad  110 , and thus bubbles may be more smoothly generated. As such, after the bubbles are generated, the user&#39;s body may be cleaned using the first cleaning brushes  101  and the second cleaning brushes  111 . In this regard, in terms of the first division protrusions  103  and the second division protrusions  113 , after the user&#39;s thumb is positioned in an independent space, the index finger and the middle finger may be positioned at one side and the ring finger and the little finger may be positioned at the other side based on the first division protrusion  103  and the second division protrusion  113  which are provided at the center, and the space between the first division protrusions  103  and the second division protrusions  113  may be opened, thereby allowing detergent or soap to smoothly flow. 
     As such, in order to dry a shower towel after a shower, when the mounting member  200  is inserted into the space  10 ′ and is accommodated and stored using the bottom surface  20 , the holder  2  and the shower towel  1  may be sterilized by their own antibacterial and sterilizing properties, and simultaneously air may flow through the through holes  201  to smoothly dry the holder  2  and the shower towel  1 , and in more detail, the mounting member  200  configured only by the edge part  210  may be inserted into the space  10 ′, thereby allowing air to more smoothly flow. 
     As shown in  FIGS. 10 and 11 , compared with a conventional grid-pattern shower towel, the anti-slip parts  30  shaped like a fingerprint similar to that of the human body may be provided on an inner bottom surface of the lower pad  110  of the shower towel, and the ridges  31  may be provided at a predetermined position corresponding to a recess of the palm and predetermined positions corresponding to second joints of the fingers, and accordingly, when the user uses the shower towel according to the present invention, the user&#39;s hand and the shower towel according to the present invention may be in close contact with each other and may not be separated by minimizing the conventional problem in terms of separation between the user&#39;s hand and the shower towel. 
     The present invention as configured above may include a separate space for temporarily storing soap or other shower detergents to continuously generate bubbles during showering and may improve the feel of grip of the shower towel to prevent the shower towel from being separated from the hand by separately positioning the user&#39;s fingers within the space. Compared with a conventional grid-pattern shower towel, the anti-slip parts  30  shaped like a fingerprint similar to that of the human body may be provided on an inner bottom of the lower pad  110 , and the ridges  31  may be provided at a predetermined position corresponding to a recess of the palm and predetermined positions corresponding to second joints of the fingers, and accordingly, when the user uses the shower towel according to the present invention, the user&#39;s hand and the shower towel according to the present invention may be in close contact with each other and may not be separated by minimizing separation between the user&#39;s hand and the shower towel  1 . In addition, before and after a shower, the shower towel may be easily dried, and simultaneously the shower towel and the holder may be formed of a material prepared by mixing a silicone material and powders formed by pulverizing cockleshell, thereby achieving antibacterial and sterilization effects. 
     [Industrial Availability] 
     The present invention relates to a shower towel and a holder thereof, and more particularly to a shower towel into which a user inserts his or her hand to wash the face and to shower when washing or showering and which is dried while being mounted on a holder before and after use.
