Back scrubbing device

Claim 1

A back scrubbing device mountable on a vertical support wall surface and comprising: (a) a backing plate having a substantially planar configuration and comprising at least a first plate segment and a second plate segment, (b) said first and said second plate segments each comprsing a correspondingly positioned inner face fixedly secured together along a confronting surface and an outer exposed face disposed opposite to one another, (c) said plate segments being commonly configured and dimensioned and said first plate segment being formed of a rubbery, substantially flexible material and said second plate segment being thicker than said first plate segment and formed from a hard, rigid material, (d) a plurality of plastic material suction cups removably attachable to the supporting wall surface and secured on said exposed face of said first plate segment in spaced and immediately adjacent relation to one another and collectively disposed in an array over and extending outwardly from said exposed face of said first plate segment, (e) a plurality of brush fingers each comprising a separate bundle of bristles secured to said second plate segment in spaced relation to one another and collectively covering substantially an entire exposed face of said second segment and extending outwardly therefrom in a direction opposite to an outward extension of said plurality of suction cups, (f) said second plate segment being at least minimally displaceably and movable relative to the supporting wall surface due at least in part to inherent flexibility of said platic material of said suction cups and rubbery material of said first plate segment and said rigidity of said second plate segment, and (g) said backing plate being removably securable to the support wall surface and slightly displaceable when secured thereto, whereby forces exerted on said back scrubbing device when coming into contact with a user's body, are at least partially absorbed by said slight displacement.
