Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

A la vista de las mencionadas figuras, y de acuerdo con la numeración adoptada, se puede observar en ellas un ejemplo de realización preferente de la invención, la cual comprende las partes y elementos que se indican y describen en detalle a continuación.In view of the aforementioned figures, and of according to the numbering adopted, you can see in them a preferred embodiment of the invention, which comprises the parts and elements indicated and described in detail to continuation.

Así, tal como se observa en dichas figuras, el utensilio (1) en cuestión se configura a partir de un cepillo inferior (2) del que dimana superiormente un mango (3), formado por una camisa hueca externa (4) y un émbolo interno (5), en cuyo extremo superior se contempla una maneta (6) de agarre, existiendo, en la zona media de dicha camisa externa (4) del mango (3) un primer depósito o depósito superior (7) que, contando con una boca de llenado (8) provista de correspondiente tapón de cierre (9), está comunicado a través de un conducto (10) con el hueco interior de la camisa (4).Thus, as seen in these figures, the utensil (1) in question is configured from a brush lower (2) from which a handle (3), formed by an outer hollow jacket (4) and an inner plunger (5), in which upper end a grip handle (6) is contemplated, existing, in the middle area of said outer jacket (4) of the handle (3) a first deposit or upper deposit (7) which, with a mouth of filled (8) provided with corresponding closure plug (9), it is communicated through a conduit (10) with the inner hollow of the shirt (4).

Por su parte, dicho hueco interior de la camisa (4) conformante de la parte externa del mango (3), por su parte inferior, se comunica con un segundo depósito o depósito inferior (11) situado en la zona del cepillo inferior (2) y del que parten de manera divergida una pluralidad de tubos (12) con correspondientes salidas (13) repartidas entre las cerdas (14) que forman dicho cepillo (2).On the other hand, said inner hollow of the shirt (4) forming the outer part of the handle (3), for its part lower, communicates with a second deposit or lower deposit (11) located in the area of the lower brush (2) and from which they start from divergent manner a plurality of tubes (12) with corresponding exits (13) distributed between the bristles (14) that form said brush (2).

Es importante destacar que el mango (3) y el cepillo (2) se hallan unidos entre sí mediante una unión articulada (15) de tal forma que dicha unión permite variar el ángulo entre dicho cepillo (2) y dicho mango (3) tanto para facilitar la labor de uso permitiendo la colocación perpendicular entre ambos, como para favorecer su colocación coplanaria para minimizar el espacio al guardarlo.It is important to note that the handle (3) and the brush (2) are joined together by an articulated joint (15) in such a way that said joint allows to vary the angle between said brush (2) and said handle (3) both to facilitate the work of use allowing perpendicular placement between the two, as for favor its coplanar placement to minimize space by save it

Además, y para poder colgar el utensilio (1), se contempla la existencia de medios para facilitar dicho cuelgue, por ejemplo en la pared de la ducha, los cuales están constituidos por un orificio (16) practicado en la zona de la maneta (6).In addition, and to be able to hang the utensil (1), it contemplates the existence of means to facilitate said hanging, by example in the shower wall, which are constituted by a hole (16) made in the area of the handle (6).

De esta forma, el modo de uso del utensilio es muy sencillo, práctico y cómodo realizándose de la siguiente:In this way, the mode of use of the utensil is very simple, practical and comfortable performing the following:

Tras incorporar jabón en el depósito superior (7) a través de su boca de llenado (8), teniendo el émbolo (5) del mango (3) en posición bajada, mediante el estiramiento hacia arriba de dicho embolo (5), se abre el paso a través del conducto (10) que comunica el depósito superior (7) con el interior hueco de la camisa (4) del mango (3), haciendo que el jabón baje hacia el depósito inferior (11) situado en el cepillo (2) y, tras volver a bajar el émbolo (5) por el interior de la camisa (4) del mango (3), al hacer presión sobre el jabón se provoca la salida del mismo hacia las salidas (13) de los tubos (12) divergentes repartidas entre las cerdas (14) del cepillo (2) para que le usuario pueda frotarse y enjabonarse los pies sin necesidad de agacharse.After incorporating soap in the upper tank (7) through its filling mouth (8), having the plunger (5) of the handle (3) in the down position, by stretching up of said plunger (5), the passage is opened through the conduit (10) which communicates the upper tank (7) with the hollow inside of the shirt (4) of the handle (3), making the soap go down to the tank bottom (11) located on the brush (2) and, after lowering the piston (5) inside the sleeve (4) of the handle (3), when making pressure on the soap causes it to flow out outputs (13) of the divergent tubes (12) distributed between the Bristles (14) of the brush (2) so that the user can rub and lather your feet without crouching.
