ABSTRACT:
For commercial and residential use, a wall-mounted enclosed towel warmer has a bottom-hinged tilt-out front cover which includes an integral top panel. In the tilted-out cover position an internal towel holder also tilts outward to provide convenient top access for loading or removal of a towel. When the cover is pushed closed, a latch retains it in the closed position where the exterior presents a smooth flat profile having only a shallow protrusion of a few inches from an unaltered wall surface, providing a high degree of user safety, especially regarding children. In this closed position, the towel becomes intimately sandwiched between several thin profile electric heating elements located on both sides of the towel holder and on inner surfaces of the enclosure, arranged to warm the towel uniformly to avoid hot and cold regions which tend to occur with conventional open type towel-warming devices. A front control panel provides touch pads and illuminated message displays. Automatic shutoff is provided in the event the warmed towel is not removed within a preset time, approximately 15 minutes, after which a new warming cycle could be initiated.
