| Abstract: |
A layer of terry material has superimposed upon one side thereof a layer of fluid-impermeable synthetic plastic sheet material covering at least a portion of this one side. A layer of resiliently compressible spacing material is superimposed upon the sheet material and an additional layer of fluid-impermeable synthetic plastic sheet material is superimposed upon the spacing material and is adhered across the intervening layers to the terry cloth along at least one circumferentially complete annular zone inwardly of the edges of the layer of spacing material and the layers of synthetic plastic material, so that the terry cloth is provided with a three-dimensional resilient applique which constitutes at least within the confines of the aforementioned zone a flotation aid for the washcloth so that the same will float in liquid.

What is claimed as new and desired to be protected by Letters Patent is set
1. A floatable washcloth comprising, in combination, a, terry cloth like washcloth of fluid-permeable textile material having an exposed side; and resiliently yieldable three-dimensional floatation aid means provided on said exposed side, including a first layer of fluid-impermeable flexible sheet material superimposed upon a fractional portion of said side, a second layer of resiliently compressible spacing material superimposed upon said first layer, and at least one third layer of fluid-impermeable flexible sheet material overlying said second layer, at least one of said first through third layers being latently adhesive and said third layer being adhered to said washcloth across said first and second layers along at least one circumferentially complete annular zone of reduced thickness, inwardly of the edges of said first through third layers whereby said washcloth is provided on said one side with a three-dimensional resilient applique which constitutes at least within the confines of said zone said floatation aid means for said washcloth so that the same will float in
