Benefits of technology

[0002] The present invention is a device for supporting a person's foot which may be easily attached or removed from a wall such as that commonly found in a bath or a shower. In one embodiment, the device comprises a suction member engageable with the wall to form a suction cavity. The device further comprises a support housing engageable with the suction member and having a central hole. The device further comprises a screw member engaged with the suction member and extending thru the central hole of the support housing. The device further comprises a fastener member engageable with the screw member to increase the volume of the suction cavity thereby creating a vacuum and securing the suction member to the wall. The device further comprises a platform extending outward from the support housing for supporting the person's foot.

Problems solved by technology

Such conventional constructions are difficult to use insomuch as the person attaches the device to a wall by pushing the multiple suction cups against the wall and detaches the device by pulling or tearing the multiple suction cups from the wall.
