Foot scrubbing and massaging device

#1. Field of the Invention

#The present invention relates to an apparatus for scrubbing, massaging and increasing circulation in the feet. More specifically, the present invention relates to a modular foot scrubbing and massaging device for individuals having impaired circulation in the lower extremities and/or impaired mobility.

#2. Background

#The foregoing and other objects and features of the present invention will become more fully apparent from the accompanying drawings when considered in conjunction with the following description and appended claims. Although the drawings depict only typical embodiments of the invention and are thus not to be deemed limiting of the invention's scope, the accompanying drawings help explain the invention in added detail, wherein:

#FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of the present invention;

#FIG. 2 shows an exploded perspective view of the embodiment in FIG. 1;

#The figures listed above are expressly incorporated as part of this detailed description.

#It is emphasized that the present invention, as illustrated in the figures and description herein, can be embodied or performed in a wide variety of ways. Thus, neither the drawings nor the following more detailed description of the various embodiments of the system and method of the present invention limit the scope of the invention. The drawings and detailed description are merely representative of the particular embodiments of the invention; the substantive scope of the present invention is limited only by the appended claims. The various embodiments of the invention will be best understood by reference to the drawings, wherein like elements are designated by like alphanumeric characters throughout.

#As shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, the present invention is a foot scrubber 10 comprising a base module 20, a bristle module 40, and a securing module 60. Specifically, FIG. 2 shows an exploded view of foot scrubber 10 with base module 20, bristle module 40, and securing module 60 in alignment to be secured. The modular construction of foot scrubber 10 allows foot is scrubber 10 to be easily disassembled and cleaned. Because of the potential risk of infection of individuals who have arteriosclerosis of the lower extremities, it is critical that any device that comes into contact with the foot be clean and preferably sterile. In order to properly clean sloughed skin and body oils from any foot scrubbing device, it is advantageous to be able to separate the various portions of the device and clean them individually. Additionally, the modular construction allows for variation in the bristle module 40 or additional attachment to allow for the customizing of foot care.
