| 1997 | Invention patented by William Sullivan on January 12th, 1997. Abstract: A combination beach towel and pillow case comprising a towel, which can be made of fiber-reactive dyed velour on one side for a decorative pattern, and a rectangular panel sized in shape and connected at two edges to form a pillow receiving compartment. The panel is folded over itself, connected at two edges and attached to one end of the beach towel, and can occupy approximately one-twelfth the surface area of the beach towel. Alternately, two rectangular panels can be attached at three edges and connected to one end of the beach towel to form the pillow compartment. The pillow compartment includes a closure at the pillow receiving opening to capture the pillow and keep sand and dirt from entering the pillow compartment and reaching the pillow. The pillow can be easily removed from the pillow compartment providing for easy cleaning of the towel, and easy replacement of the pillow. |
