Abstract:

An improved towel warmer comprising a generally rectangular, water resistant, flexible, low cost, energy-efficient, and easily stowable electric heating member that releasably attaches to, and hangs from a support member such as a towel rack using one or more releasable straps. The heating member has an electric supply cord that attaches to a wall outlet or battery. The temperature of the heating member is controlled through use of the electric current controller which is attached to the electric supply cord and which may be used to automatically control the wattage and duration of the electric current flowing to the heating member. Once the heating member is attached to the support member and connected to electric current, a towel is hung over the support member so that opposing sides hang next to opposite sides of the member. The heating member is powered on and a towel heated for comfortable use, and then dried after usage. The heating member may then be turned off manually or configured to automatically shut off after a pre-configured period of time.
