Abstract

See full text

A towel arrest device includes a body and two lips opposed from each other and formed integrally to the body. The lips each have a top, a bottom, and an inflection point therebetween. The lips are parallel, spaced apart, and define a slit between the inflection point and the bottom. The lips further converge toward the slit between the tops and the inflection points. The body biases the lips toward each other in response to expansion of the slit. When an item, such as a towel, is thus introduced into the slit, the slit expands to accommodate the towel but the lips exert an inward bias to cinch the towel and secure it in the device.
