Problems solved by technology

Foot callus can accumulate and become very thick if it is not taken care of properly.
Walking with a chapped feet could cause a lot of pain while walking.
The worst it could cause the foot related disease or disorders.
However I can not find a convenient tool.
So I would rub my foot against the surface of the strainer back and forth a few times. It works a little bit but not that good.
Sometimes I would find something rough to file the foot callus but I have to bend my leg to raise the foot (this can be extremely difficult for those aged, disabled, pregnant, overweighed and arthritic people).
People would easily fell down because of the losing of the balance while leaning against the wall of the shower stall standing with only one foot on the wet floor, which can cause bone breaking.
Unfortunately there are not many products available.
Most of them require using hands and bending the leg or bending over, some of them using brushes or cloth and they are not working very efficiently and effectively for removing the foot callus.

Embodiment Construction

[0020] This device has a dome-like appearance. It looks like a hat with a brim. Its diameter is only 4¼ inches (10.795 cm) the same size as a regular strainer, and the outside rim is ¾ inch (2 cm) wide.

[0021] It has four portions: a flat rim 1, supporting frames 2, four strips of ridges 3, and a cylinder bottom 4.

[0022] Referring to FIG. 4 the bottom portion is a cylinder 4 that is 8 mm high. It has twenty-one draining holes 5 that allow the shower water going through. It is designed to plug in a regular strainer passageway in a shower stall.

[0023] Referring to FIG. 1, 2 and 3 the dome-like upper portion looks like a hat. It is composed of four arc-like strips of ridges 3 with different length. On the surface of each said strips are four ridges 3 that function as a rasp for removing foot callus. The supporting frames 2 intersect and connect below the said strips of ridges 3 to provide extra strength and support to the ridges 3 area. The intersection of the four strips of ridges 3...
