PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a health towel which can deform flexibly in use time, and has a soft feel, by using a towel cloth which can be formed into a semi-cylindrical shape having a tunnel-state cavity.SOLUTION: The towel is configured so that both end edges of the semi-cylindrical shapes of the towel cloth which can be formed into the semi-cylindrical shape having a tunnel-state cavity, are laminated and jointed to an individual flat textile. If a user uses the health towel as a towel in taking a bath, overlapping between textiles is increased or decreased, and textiles are flexibly deformed. Therefore, the towel has a soft feel to a skin, so that itch can be suppressed and itch can be healed early. The towel is also capable of being used as a health towel, by inserting a core material into each cavity which is the tunnel-state, and the towel can be used in various ways of using the towel. In addition, if the semi-cylindrical shapes are formed into a treble layer by laminating one cylindrical shape to folded double semi-cylindrical shapes, the towel has further improved flexibility and weight feel is also enhanced, so that the towel becomes useful to washing a large body.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 15COPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】トンネル状の空洞を有する蒲鉾型に形成可能なタオル地を用いることで、使用時に柔軟に変形可能で感触がソフトな健康タオルを実現する。 【解決手段】トンネル状の空洞を有する蒲鉾型に形成可能なタオル地の前記蒲鉾型の両端縁を平坦な別の布地に重ねて接合してあるので、そのままタオルとして入浴に使用すると、生地同士の重なりが増減したり柔軟に変形したりするので、肌への感触がソフトで、痒みを抑制でき、治りも早まる。また、トンネル状の空洞に芯材を挿入して硬くして、健康タオルとして使用したり、色々な使い方ができる。前記の蒲鉾型は、一重に限らず、折り返した二重部を折り重ねて計三重とした布地を用いて形成して場合は、さらに柔軟になると共に重量感も増すので、体格の大きな身体を洗う場合に重宝される。【選択図】図15
