Body washing enclosure device

Abstract

In some embodiments, a body washing enclosure device may include a footing wall having a flange and a scrubbing pad depression. The scrubbing pad depression may include a depression sidewall and a depression base. The depression sidewall may be coupled to the flange and may extend below the flange. The depression base may be coupled to the depression sidewall below the flange, and the scrubbing pad depression may be disposed on the footing wall with the flange extending around the scrubbing pad depression. A fastener may couple a scrubbing pad having a scrubbing pad surface within the scrubbing pad depression. In further embodiments, the flange may be coupled to a shower wall of a washing area enclosure. In still further embodiments, the flange may form one or more shower walls of a washing area enclosure.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a body washing enclosure device that helps to clean hard-to-reach parts of the body. The device includes a footing wall with a flange and a scrubbing pad depression. The scrubbing pad depression has a depression sidewall and base and is designed to hold a scrubbing pad. The flange can be attached to a shower wall or form shower walls that make up the enclosure. The device also includes a fastener that can securely hold the scrubbing pad in place. Overall, the device makes it easy and effective to clean the body in a comfortable and efficient way.

Problems solved by technology

Many people have difficulties in reaching one or more parts of their body while bathing.

Unfortunately, these handles require large amounts of storage space when not in use and can be difficult to use by people with reduced grip strength.

However, these affixed apparatuses incorporate attachment means that often cause the affixed apparatuses to project a significant distance away from a wall of the shower or bathtub surround which can significantly decrease the amount of usable space available to the bather.

Additionally, these affixed apparatuses frequently fall of the wall causing an unpleasant surprise or damage to the shower or bathtub surround.
