United States Patent 3,109,177 MECHANICAL BACK BRUSH HEIGHT SCALE James McKinley Grafmyer, Box 58, Lawson, Colo. Filed ept. 8, 1961, Ser. No. 136,820 2 Claims. (Cl. 4-158) This invention relates generally to body cleansing apparatus, and in particular, to a back-scrubbing device in a mounting having a remote manual control, and adapted for selective positioning at various vertical positions, to conform to the height of the user. From the standpoint of delicacy, bathing is usually a sole effort, and since the normal human anatomy is ill-adapted for manual contact with the back, much less to scrub it, there results a problem which is one of long standing, and it is a general object of the present invention to remedy this difficulty.
More specifically, it is an object of the invention to provide a scrubbing brush unit, which is mounted for adjustable, vertical positioning through a control means, easy of access by the hands, and requiring no dexterity in manipulation. A further object is to provide a device of this nature which is automatically removed to an outof-the-way position when not in use. Yet another object is to provide an adjustable scrubber which may either be moved up and down repeatedly to accomplish the scrubbing, or alternatively, clamped in an adjusted position where it may be engaged by the moving body of the user. A further, and related object is to combine, with the adjustable feature of the scrubber, a device for measuring the height of the user.
These and other objects which will be apparent to those skilled in the art, are attained by the present invention, which may be briefly described as comprising a mounting for a brush or the like, slidably carried in a vertically disposed tube, and suspended from a reel with a spring recoil, and with an operating cord running through a guide tube to a position convenient to the grasp of the user.
For a more detailed description of the invention, reference is made to the following specification, as illustrated in the drawings, in which:
FIGURE 1 is a view in perspective of the entire assemy,
FIGURE 2 is a sectional view through an upper portion of the assembly, taken on the :line 2-2 of FIGURE 1,
FIGURE 3 is a sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of FIGURE 2.
FIGURE 4 is a sectional view taken on the line 44 of FIGURE 2,
FIGURE 5 is a sectional view taken on the line 55 of FIGURE 2 FIGURE 6 is a sectional view taken on the line 66 of FIGURE 1,
FIGURE 7 is a sectional view taken on the line 7--7 of FIGURE 6, and
FIGURE 8 is a View similar to FIGURE 1, showing a storage rack for a plurality of brushes.
Referring to the drawing by characters of reference, contemplated as a whole the system comprises a holder 10, with spring clamp tabs 11 holding a brush 12 and slidable along a vertically disposed tube 14 while suspended from a supporting line which is reeled into and out of a housing 16. The tube has at its lower end a rectangularly-disposed portion 18, the terminal end section 20 of which portion is disposed transversely to the planes of the axes of the tube 14 and portion 18 with a control cord 22 running through the tube and having operative connections to effect movement of the brush holder. Section 20, which is perpendicular to both tube 14 and section 18, is provided with an end cap '23, having a central perforation through which the cord 22 passes.
The cord 22 is wound, in single strand layers, on a reel or .spool comprising a pair of flanges 70, extending from a hollow dr-um 72, composed of cup-shaped halves secured by bent tabs 73, and rotatably mounted on the fixed shaft 52, and to which the outer end of spring 46 is attached as by a rivet 74. The arrangement is such that with the spring in unstressed condition except for the dead weight of the rider and the mounted brush, the latter will be in their uppermost position, that is to say, the non-working position. However, the brush may be adjusted to any desired working level by a pull on cord ZZ, against the resistance of spring 46.
In the normal use of the device, the scrubbing action is achieved by a reciprocating, up-and-down movement of the brush, occasioned by alternately pulling on the cord 22, and permitting it to recede under the restoring action of the spring. If the height of the user is such that the brush may be operated from its uppermost position, no adjustment is necessary, and the pull may be imparted by a knob 7 6, through which the terminal end of the cord is threaded, and secured by a knot 76. However, for persons of smaller stature, or for reaching lower portions of the back, the mean position of the brush will need to be somewhat lower, and for this purpose an auxiliary, spool-form handle 80, with bore 8-1, and end flanges 82, 8'4, slidably mounted on the cord, is adapted to grip the cord at selected positions along its length. For the gripping action the spool has a radially disposed notch or slot 86 communicating from without to the central passage, and in this slit is slidably mounted a pressure plate 88, which has limited play in a radial direction by virtue of a pair of slots 90 in the plate, loosely mounted on a pair of pins 92, carried by the spool. 'For adjustment of the mean, working position of the brush, the spool is held in one hand, in its position adjacent section 20, while a pull is exerted on end knob 76 by the other hand, until the proper adjustment is obtained, after which the cord is seized in the adjusted location of the spool therealong, by pressure of the hand on plate 88, whereupon knob 76 may be released, and reciprocations imparted to the cord by the hand holding the spool.
In order to lock the spool in adjusted position, the inner end flange 82 is provided with a set screw 94 received in a radially disposed, threaded bore 96 in the flange, and adapted to bite into cord 22, to lock the spool in position. This lock is also useful in the case where it is desired to maintain the brush in a fixed position,
for movement of the body of the user across the brush.
The height measuring means comprises a vertical rod 100 having a horizontally bent, upper leg 101, and mounted in a bore 102 in the rider 34, where it is se cured, in proper position, by a thumb screw 104. Along its length, adjacent the longitudinal slot 30, the tube 14 carries a series of graduations 106, marking the height, in feet and inches, above the level of the bottom 108 of the bathtub, or shower stall, or other locale. As shown, the graduations commence at a height 2 /2 feet above the bottom, or standing level, and go up about 6 feet. To measure a height, the leg 101 is turned from a position parallel to the wall, as in FIGURE 1, to a position 90 thereto, as shown in dotted lines, and the rider is lowered by pulling on the knob 86 until the leg 101 contacts the top of the head of the party being measured. The rider is then locked in position by screw 94, as described above, and the party may turn about and make the height reading. The reading is most conveniently made by the position of a portion of the rider, or an index. mark thereon, on the scale markings, and if these give the true height at the point of the graduation, there must be added a cor rection in the amount of the distance of leg 101 above the index mark, which can be kept constant for all cases. However, it will be found convenient to so arrange the graduations 106 on the tube, so that they give, not their actual height, but the actual height plus the distance of the leg 101 above the index mark.
For family convenience, or for the general sake of variety, the brushes may be stored, in plurality, in a rack adjacent the assembly. Thus, in FIGURE 8, is shown a plate 110 secured to the wall as by screws 112, having a width corresponding to the length of brushes, such as brush 12, and of a length adapted to mount a desired number of brushes, which in the case shown mounts to four. In storage, the brushes are arranged with their lengths across the width of the plate, and are clamped in place by opposed pairs of spring tabs 114 similar to the tabs 11 on the adjustable scrubber. Thus, each member of a family may have his own brush handy for use in the system, and these may bear appropriate identification, such as coloring, as in the case of tooth brushes.
While a certain preferred embodiment has been shown and described, various modifications will be apparent to those skilled in the art, in the light of this disclosure, and the invention should not, therefore, be deemed as limited, except insofar as shall appear from the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
