  • Washcloth identification system
    Patent number: 10610062
    Abstract: A washcloth identification system including a first holder and a second holder, each comprising a fastener on a rear side thereof. A washcloth support hook extends downwardly from each of the first holder and the second holder. A first set of numbered indicia is disposed on a front side of the first holder, and a second set of numbered indicia is disposed on a front side of the second holder. Each of the first hook and the second hook is configured to support a washcloth thereon. The fasteners are configured to secure the first and second holders to a wall of a shower, such that users can hang multiple washcloths. Tactile indicators having raised perimeter edges, such as raised Braille patterns, are overlaid on top of the numbered indicia. The holders can thus be identified by either sight or touch in order to identify which washcloth the user is retrieving.
