Description

    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • This invention relates to devices for cleaning the lower extremities of a person's body and more particularly, a brush having an elongated handle, multiple cleaning surfaces and finger-like projections used for cleaning a user's feet, legs, and in-between his or her toes while the user is in a standing position.
  • Many people are physically unable to crouch down or bend over and reach their feet due to a variety of different reasons, such as physical disabilities, age, physical size, etc. The failure to wash a person's feet everyday can lead to infections, which can lead to even more serious problems for people who have physical disabilities and/or physical ailments, such as diabetes, that cause poor circulation. A problem for these people is that they are unable to crouch down or bend over to wash their feet while in the shower or while in a bath tub. Although there are currently scrub brushes attached to the ends of handles that may be used to clean a person's lower extremities without having to bend over, it is difficult to clean in between a person's toes with these scrub brushes. Furthermore, current scrub brushes do not allow a user to adjust the length of the handle that is attached to the scrub brush to accommodate the height of a user or the area of the body being washed.
  • Therefore, a need exists for a scrub brush that can not only be used for scrubbing the surfaces of a person's legs and feet but a scrub brush that is extendable and can be used to clean in-between a person's toes without having to bend over or crouch down.
  • The relevant prior art includes the following references:

    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • The primary object of the present invention is to provide a foot cleaning brush that allows a user to wash his or her lower extremities while in a standing position.
  • A further object of the present invention is to provide a foot cleaning brush that allows a user to wash in-between his or her toes while in a standing position.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a foot cleaning brush having an adjustable handle that allows a user to adjust the length of handle according to his or her height or to the body part being washed.
  • A further object of the present invention is to provide a foot cleaning brush having an adjustment means that allows a user to adjust the spacing between the finger-like projections according to the size of his or her feet and toes.
