Abstract
An epidermal scrubbing device intended for use by human beings comprising a rigid plastic base having integral suction cups for attachment to a shower wall. Insert molded into the base is a polypropylene plastic scrubbing surface characterized by a two-dimensional array of soft, smooth surfaced, plastic nubs having a height on the order of ½ of an inch. Where desired, a column of slightly higher nubs may be added for scrubbing, for example, the spinal area.
Claims1
A human epidermal scrubbing device of the type which comprises a base attachable to a surface and, essentially integral with said base, a substantially planar scrubbing area, characterized in that:
- the base is rigid;
- the scrubbing area comprises a seamless, two-dimentional array of closely and essentially uniformly spaced soft plastic, smooth surfaced, nub-like protrusions covering essentially the entire surface area;
- and the protrusions have an essentially uniform width throughout their height;
- wherein the array of closely spaced soft plastic, smooth surfaced, nub-like protrusions comprises protrusions of different height, protrusions of grater height being arranged in a column extending through the center of protrusions of lesser height and,
- wherein the protrusions of greater height have a greater width than the protrusions of lesser height.
