- one or more slots 114 may be formed into the base member 102 for receiving one or more brackets 116.
- a cord 118 may be securely attached to brackets 116 such that the assembly 100 may be suspended from a hook in or about a bathing facility. Suspending the assembly 100 in this manner provides a convenient method of storing the assembly 100 as well as additional support for the assembly if the user intends to mount the assembly 100 on a vertical surface.
- one or more drainage channels 120 may be located to provide a method for draining fluids that may accumulate within the socket 104 during use. Similar drainage channels, not illustrated, may also be formed at spaced intervals along the peripheral edge 112 and or along the rear face 110 of the assembly 100 for additional drainage. Adequate drainage is useful in order to prevent bacteria and fungal growth and as well as to reduce the accumulation of water stains and sediments.
- a plurality of suction members 122 e.g.
- suction cups are disposed on the rear face 110 of the base member 102 to provide a removable method of securing the assembly 100 to a relatively flat and smooth surface, such as a floor of a bathtub or shower or the vertical wall surface of the bathing facility.
- a relatively flat and smooth surface such as a floor of a bathtub or shower or the vertical wall surface of the bathing facility.
- the first embodiment of the foot scrubbing and massaging assembly 100 employs the use of suction cup type members, the assembly 100 could be attached to a surface using any conventionally known temporary or permanent method, such as by using an adhesive, threaded fastener, double sided mounting tape, hook and loop fabric, etc.
- a rubber or latex non-s ⁇ p mat may be provided along the rear face 110 of the assembly 100 such that the assembly may be used on a flat horizontal surface (or a vertical surface in conjunction with the hanging cord 118) without skidding or slipping during use.
- the assembly 100 may include a variety of foot pads 106 having various textures or working surfaces to allow the user to achieve both cleansing and massaging type effects. For example, a heavy brush foot pad 106a including dense tufts of stiff-type bristles allows fora deeper skin cleansing.
- an exfoliating foot pad 106b located in the middle of the assembly 100 is of a pumice stone or a similar aggregate type structure which provides an abrasive action for treating thick necrotic skin and or calluses, etc.
- a light brush foot pad 106c or a medium brush foot pad 106d (Fig. 4) provide slightly softer and less dense bristles for achieving a gentler cleaning action of the user's foot as compared to the heavy brush foot pad 106a.
- the foot pads 106 may also have various textures taking on alternate forms, such as a massaging bump footpad 106e, a sponge footpad 106f, a loofah footpad, and or a massaging roller footpad 106g having a plurality of rollers.
- the rollers of the massaging roller footpad 106g may be fixed or ridged such that a working surface of the massaging roller footpad 106g resembles that of a traditional wash board.
- the rollers of the massaging roller foot pad 106g could be segmented such that along one longitudinal axis (or axis of rotation) of a given roller, the various segmented portions could rotate in opposite directions.
- rollers could be replaced by a series of rotatable round or bead shaped elements.
- footpads may include any combination of the aforementioned textures or working surfaces.
- the assembly 100 as configured in Figure 4, offers the distinct advantage of simultaneous cleansing and massaging effects during use, all within the same assembly.
- the foot pads 106 of the assembly 100 are interchangeable. In other words, since the foot pads 106 are of a similar geometry, they may be interchanged with different texture foot pads or existing foot pads may be placed in a different order. Also, multiple foot pads of the same type may be placed in a consecutive fashion to provide a greater working surface area of the same texture, if a user so desires. Thus, the assembly can be provided with more foot pads then there are sockets in order to allow a user to customize the foot scrubbing and massaging assembly, according to the user's wishes. The foot pads 106 of the assembly 100 are snuggly held in place by a slight interference fit created between the socket 104 of the base member 102 and the foot pad 106.
- the foot pads may be constructed having a semi-flexible base portion (see pad 106c in Fig. 3) that allow the foot pad to deflect or compress as it is pressed into place in the socket 104.
- the base member 10.2 could also be constructed so as to deflect about a foot pad having a relatively more rigid base portion.
- both the foot pad bases and the base member can be made of conventional resilient materials, such as various known types of rubbers or plastics.
- the assembly 100 is shown secured to a vertical surface A of a bathing facility B. As illustrated, the user may cleanse their feet C while lying back in a tub D of the bathing facility B by raising their feet C and applying pressure against the foot pads 106 of the assembly 100. With reference to Figure 6, the first embodiment of the foot scrubbing and massaging assembly 100 is shown secured to a flat horizontal surface E of the tub D of the bathing facility B.
