Apparatus for scrubbing, massaging, and applying liquid to one''s back comprising a resilient body having opposed faces and bounded by a side wall, said body having means forming a chamber therein, opposed straps attached to and depending from said body for enabling a person to hold a strap in each hand in order to scrub his back with said opposed faces; a plurality of fingers affixed to and depending from one of said faces, a plurality of projections depending from the other of said faces, a plurality of apertures formed in one of said faces for enabling fluid flow to occur therethrough; means forming a deformable soap receiving slot about a marginal portion of said side wall; said slot being spaced between said opposed faces; thereby enabling a bar of soap to be forced through the slot and into the chamber so that the soap can co-mingle with water and flow through said apertures while one is scrubbing his back; a container for a lotion supply, said container having opposed faces and bounded by a side wall to form a chamber therewithin, outlet means for enabling lotion to flow from the last said chamber; said container being of a size relative to said chamber of said resilient body to be received therein and through said slot.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
216 words
Apparatus for scrubbing, massaging, and applying liquid to one''s back comprising a resilient body having opposed faces and bounded by a side wall, said body having means forming a chamber therein, opposed straps attached to and depending from said body for enabling a person to hold a strap in each hand in order to scrub his back with said opposed faces; a plurality of fingers affixed to and depending from one of said faces, a plurality of projections depending from the other of said faces, a plurality of apertures formed in one of said faces for enabling fluid flow to occur therethrough; means forming a deformable soap receiving slot about a marginal portion of said side wall; said slot being spaced between said opposed faces; thereby enabling a bar of soap to be forced through the slot and into the chamber so that the soap can co-mingle with water and flow through said apertures while one is scrubbing his back; a container for a lotion supply, said container having opposed faces and bounded by a side wall to form a chamber therewithin, outlet means for enabling lotion to flow from the last said chamber; said container being of a size relative to said chamber of said resilient body to be received therein and through said slot.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
216 words
Apparatus for scrubbing, massaging, and applying liquid to one''s back comprising a resilient body having opposed faces and bounded by a side wall, said body having means forming a chamber therein, opposed straps attached to and depending from said body for enabling a person to hold a strap in each hand in order to scrub his back with said opposed faces; a plurality of fingers affixed to and depending from one of said faces, a plurality of projections depending from the other of said faces, a plurality of apertures formed in one of said faces for enabling fluid flow to occur therethrough; means forming a deformable soap receiving slot about a marginal portion of said side wall; said slot being spaced between said opposed faces; thereby enabling a bar of soap to be forced through the slot and into the chamber so that the soap can co-mingle with water and flow through said apertures while one is scrubbing his back; a container for a lotion supply, said container having opposed faces and bounded by a side wall to form a chamber therewithin, outlet means for enabling lotion to flow from the last said chamber; said container being of a size relative to said chamber of said resilient body to be received therein and through said slot.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
216 words
Apparatus for scrubbing, massaging, and applying liquid to one''s back comprising a resilient body having opposed faces and bounded by a side wall, said body having means forming a chamber therein, opposed straps attached to and depending from said body for enabling a person to hold a strap in each hand in order to scrub his back with said opposed faces; a plurality of fingers affixed to and depending from one of said faces, a plurality of projections depending from the other of said faces, a plurality of apertures formed in one of said faces for enabling fluid flow to occur therethrough; means forming a deformable soap receiving slot about a marginal portion of said side wall; said slot being spaced between said opposed faces; thereby enabling a bar of soap to be forced through the slot and into the chamber so that the soap can co-mingle with water and flow through said apertures while one is scrubbing his back; a container for a lotion supply, said container having opposed faces and bounded by a side wall to form a chamber therewithin, outlet means for enabling lotion to flow from the last said chamber; said container being of a size relative to said chamber of said resilient body to be received therein and through said slot.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
35 words
The apparatus of claim 1 and further including means forming an outwardly directed port from said side wall, said port being spaced from said slot, said port being arranged for receiving a container neck therein.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
39 words
The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said opposed straps are a resilient elongated loop having terminal ends integrally formed to said side wall at spaced locations thereby forming looped extensions, the medial portion of said strap forming a handhold.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
25 words
The apparatus of claim 3, wherein said slot has marginal end portions, each end portion of said slot underlying one terminal end of each strap.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
232 words
Back scrubbing and massaging apparatus comprising a resilient cylindrical body having opposed relatively flat faces bounded by a circumferentially extending side wall, said opposed faces and side wall jointly forming a chamber therewithin, opposed straps attached to and depending from said body for enabling a person to hold a strap in each hand and to rub his back with either of said opposed faces; a plurality of fingers affixed to and depending from one of said faces, a plurality of projections affixed to and depending from the other of said faces, a plurality of apertures formed in one of said faces for enabling any fluid which may be contained in the chamber to flow from said chamber onto one''s back; means forming a deformable circumferentially extending slot through a marginal length of said side wall; said slot being spaced between said opposed faces; a port formed through said side wall in opposed relationship to said slot, so that a bar of soap can be forced through the slot and out of the chamber by placing one''s finger through the port and pushing the soap therethrough; a lotion container having opposed faces bounded by a side wall to form a lotion containing chamber therewithin, outlet means for enabling lotion to flow from the last said chamber; so that the lotion container can be forced through said slot and into the first said chamber.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
232 words
Back scrubbing and massaging apparatus comprising a resilient cylindrical body having opposed relatively flat faces bounded by a circumferentially extending side wall, said opposed faces and side wall jointly forming a chamber therewithin, opposed straps attached to and depending from said body for enabling a person to hold a strap in each hand and to rub his back with either of said opposed faces; a plurality of fingers affixed to and depending from one of said faces, a plurality of projections affixed to and depending from the other of said faces, a plurality of apertures formed in one of said faces for enabling any fluid which may be contained in the chamber to flow from said chamber onto one''s back; means forming a deformable circumferentially extending slot through a marginal length of said side wall; said slot being spaced between said opposed faces; a port formed through said side wall in opposed relationship to said slot, so that a bar of soap can be forced through the slot and out of the chamber by placing one''s finger through the port and pushing the soap therethrough; a lotion container having opposed faces bounded by a side wall to form a lotion containing chamber therewithin, outlet means for enabling lotion to flow from the last said chamber; so that the lotion container can be forced through said slot and into the first said chamber.
