Abstract
Abstract An improved body squeegee for removal of excess water ancillary to towel drying which includes an elongated handle portion and an elongated generally elliptic head portion with at least one side of the head portion having an inset peripherally extending resilient and flexible blade of rubber like material. The central portion of the head is preferably a recessed spoon shape and the upper peripheral surface of the head is substantially flat. The resilient and flexible blade projects outwardly from the head member at an acute angle presenting a sharp and distinct edge but with the rubber like material being sufficiently soft to the feel so as not to scrape or irritate skin of the user. In an alternative form the head portion may include a brush or other scrubbing surface on the opposite side.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
152 words
A body squeegee comprising in combination an elongated first portion adapted to serve as a handle, one end of said handle providing a head portion with at least one side of the head portion including a peripherally extending resilient and flexible blade member of non-porous rubber like material, said blade member being inset in said head portion periphery so as to form a substantially flat surface relative to the head portion and projecting outwardly from the head member at an acute angle and presenting a sharp and distinct edge with the rubber like material of said blade being sufficiently soft to the feel so as not to scrape or irritate the skin of a user and said blade member being sufficiently self supporting so as to be capable of maintaining its edge while the resilient and flexible blade follows the body contours to remove water from the ordinary parts of the body.
