AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0008]The primary object of the invention is to provide a foot buffing mat that allows a person to easily buff all surfaces of the underside of both feet while standing or sitting comfortably.

[0009]Another object of the invention is to provide a foot buffing mat that allows a person to buff his or her feet without the use of his or her hands.

Problems solved by technology

Although current pumice products are effective for removing calluses and rough spots from the underside of a person's foot, there are some serious deficiencies in current designs.

First, people who are overweight, pregnant, or otherwise handicapped, may have a difficult time reaching the underside of his or her foot.

Secondly, the act of raising one foot while balancing on the other foot while buffing can be awkward and may cause the person to fall.

Third, current pumice stones may not be properly shaped to effectively reach all affected areas of the user's foot.

Finally, the act of buffing each area of each foot can be time consuming and put excess strain on a persons back and leg muscles.
