After reading this specification, it will become apparent to those skilled in the art how to implement the present application in different and alternative environments.
[0026] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. All patents, applications, published applications, and other publications mentioned herein are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. If the definitions set forth in this section are contrary to or inconsistent with the definitions set forth in the applications, published applications, and other publications incorporated herein by reference, the definitions set forth in this document take precedence over the definitions incorporated herein by reference.
[0027] Figure 1a An improved bathing tool 100 for cleaning the human body according to some embodiments of the present application is shown, the bathing tool having a handle in the form of a rod. FIG1 shows an improved bathing tool for cleaning the human body according to some embodiments of the present application, the bathing tool having a handle including a rod and a hand grip. FIG1 shows an improved bathing tool for cleaning the human body according to some embodiments of the present application, the bathing tool having a handle including a hand grip.
[0028] Improved bathing tool 100 can be used for cleaning the human body. The bathing tool includes a handle 102 and a frame 103, which is a frame for holding cleaning elements and is shaped as an open or closed loop. The handle and frame can be made of any material. Non-limiting examples of materials include plastic, silicone, or aluminum. Any other material can be used.
[0029] exist Figures 1a to 1c In the example of FIG. 1 , the frame 103 is an open loop including a first arm 104 and a second arm 106. The arms 104 and 106 are connected to one end of the handle and joined to the same end of the handle. The arms 104 and 106 are offset toward each other. In a non-limiting example, the offset of the arms is such that the arms form a U-shape, such as Figure 10 The arms are designed to have cleaning elements disposed thereon, as will be shown further below.
[0030] exist Figure 1d In the embodiment, the frame 103 is in the form of a closed loop. The closed loop may be circular, such as Figure 1d , but could also be a polygon, an ellipse, or any other closed shape.
[0031] In use, the user holds the handle 102 and uses the cleaning elements on the frame 13 to scrub the user's body. The open or closed loop of the frame 103 can partially or completely surround the user's body parts, thereby contacting the body parts from multiple positions at the same time and enabling the user to scrub most of the body contacted by the open or closed loop with a single, easy motion, which is contrary to requiring the user to use many small movements to scrub around the body when using a sponge, brush or the user's hands without using the tool 100. It should be noted that the tool 100 can also be used for purposes other than bathing or showering. In a non-limiting example, the tool 100 may include bristles provided on the inner surfaces of the open and closed loops and can be used as a brush or pet brush.
[0032] In embodiments where frame 103 includes arms 104 and 106, the arms can be flexible and resilient. In this manner, a limb can be inserted between arms 104 and 106, with the arms expanding in thicker areas of the limb and closing to their resting state in thinner areas of the limb. Thus, tool 100 configures itself based on the thickness of the body part being encircled by the arms.
[0033] exist Figure 1a In the example of FIG, the handle 102 includes a rod 108 having a gripping end 108a and a frame end 108b. The frame end 108b is coupled to the frame 103. In use, the user's hand grasps the rod 108 to guide the arm to scrub the desired part of the user's body. It should be noted that Figure 1a The configuration of the handle 102 is applicable to embodiments in which the frame is formed as an open loop or a closed loop. In some embodiments of the present application, the frame and the rod are integral with each other and are produced from a single mold. In other embodiments of the present application, the frame and the rod are produced separately and are detachably or fixedly joined to each other after molding.
[0034] exist Figure 1b In the example of the present invention, the handle 102 includes a hand grip 110 and a rod 108. The rod has a grip end 108a and a frame end 108b. The grip end 108a is connected to the hand grip 110. The frame end 108b is connected to the frame 103. The shape of the hand grip 110 is suitable for being comfortably grasped by the user's hand. In some embodiments of the present application, the hand grip 110 is formed as a ring with an opening for inserting the user's fingers to enable a tight grip on the bathing tool 100.
[0035] exist Figure 1cIn the example of the present application, the handle 102 includes a hand grip 110. The frame 103 (whether formed as a closed loop or an open loop) is directly coupled to the hand grip 110. In some embodiments of the present application, the hand grip 110 is formed as a ring with an opening for inserting the user's fingers so that the bathing tool 100 can be tightly gripped. In other embodiments of the present application, such as Figure 1e As shown, the hand grip is in the form of a knob that is configured to be held. If the tool 100 is used as a pet (e.g., cat and dog) brush, the knob can provide a comfortable grip, with bristles covering the inner surfaces of the arms 104 and 106.
[0036] Figures 2 to 5 An example of an arm end of an improved bathing tool is shown wherein the frame 103 extends at an angle to the arm end 108a of the rod 108. Figures 2 to 5 The examples relate to embodiments where the frame is shaped like an open ring and includes arms 104 and 106, but it is important to note that Figures 2 to 5 The features are also applicable to the frame 103 shaped like a closed loop.
[0037] The rod extends along a longitudinal axis X. The longitudinal axis X is horizontal when viewed from the side, and the two arms 104 and 106 extend from the arm end 108a of the rod and extend above the longitudinal axis. This allows the user to easily scrub the user's limb while holding the rod more or less parallel to the limb being scrubbed.
[0038] Figure 6 An improved bathing implement according to some embodiments of the present application is shown, to which a natural or synthetic loofah is attached. Figure 7 An improved bathing implement is shown, according to some embodiments of the present application, to which bristles 202 are coupled. Figure 8 An improved bathing tool according to some embodiments of the present application is shown to which a sponge 204 is attached. It should be noted that other types of cleaning elements may be used and that the scope of the present application extends to any cleaning element that can be used to scrub a user's skin and that can be attached (fixedly or removably) to an arm. Although Figures 6 to 8 The examples relate to embodiments where the frame is shaped like an open ring and includes arms 104 and 106, but it is important to note that Figures 2 to 5 The features are also applicable to the frame 103 shaped like a closed loop.
[0039] In a frame 103 in the form of arms 104 and 106, the loofah 200 can be attached to the arms 104 and 106 simply by threading it through the arms. In this way, the loofah can be removed from the bathing tool 100 and replaced if necessary. Alternatively, the loofah can be fixedly attached to the arms. If the frame 103 is in the form of a closed loop, the loofah can be attached to the frame before closing the loop during manufacture of the tool 100.
[0040] The cleaning elements (e.g., loofah 200, bristles 202, sponge 204, or any other cleaning element) can be joined to the inner surface of the frame (e.g., the inner surface of the arm (i.e., the surface of each arm facing the other arm)) to cover the inner surface of the open or closed loop formed. If the frame 103 is an open loop, a cleaning surface facing the other arm is formed on each arm. In some embodiments of the present application, the cleaning elements (e.g., loofah 200, bristles 202, sponge 204, or any other cleaning element) are also joined to the outer surface of the frame (e.g., the surface of each arm facing away from the other arm) to cover the outer surface of the open or closed loop. If the frame 103 is an open loop, a cleaning surface is also formed on each arm facing the other arm. In some embodiments of the present application, the cleaning elements (e.g., loofah 200, bristles 202, sponge 204, or any other cleaning element) cover most of the surface of the frame. In the case where the frame is in the form of two arms, the cleaning elements on the first arm surround the first arm, and the cleaning elements on the second arm surround the second arm.
[0041] Figure 9 An improved bathing tool having a rotatable frame 103 is shown according to some embodiments of the present application.
[0042] The frame 103 can be hingedly coupled to the handle 102, allowing the frame to rotate relative to the handle 102. In some embodiments of the present application, the bathing tool 100 includes a locking mechanism 300 configured to maintain the frame at a desired angle relative to the handle. The desired angle is a desired angle desired by the user during use. The bathing tool can be rotated relative to the handle 102, and in combination with the locking mechanism, the angle can be adjusted during use to better conform to the user's body and facilitate proper cleansing. Many such mechanisms are known in the art for changing the angle between two hingedly coupled objects. Many of these mechanisms are suitable for use in the locking mechanism of the present application. The scope of the present application is not limited to any particular type of locking mechanism, but rather extends to any mechanism that enables a user to rotate the frame 103 relative to the handle 102, selectively lock the frame 103 at a desired angle relative to the handle 102, and then release the frame from its locked position, allowing the frame to be rotated again and locked at a different angle relative to the frame. In some embodiments of the present application, the locking mechanism enables locking the frame at discrete, predetermined angles. In other embodiments of the present application, the locking mechanism enables locking the frame at any angle within a range of angles.
[0043] Figure 11 Shown is a bathing implement add-on attachment 400 that is configured to be coupled to a rod to form the bathing implement described above.
[0044] Combine Figures 1a to 1e , the add-on piece 400 includes a sleeve 402 and a frame 103 (which may be formed as a closed loop or may include arms 104 and 106 extending from the sleeve and biased toward each other). The sleeve is configured to be removably coupled to the rod. The end section of the rod is the area at one of the opposite ends of the rod that is coupled to the sleeve. The add-on piece 400 and the rod (not shown) together form the above Figure 1a The bathing tool described in . The sleeve may include threads that cooperate with threads on the end of the rod. The sleeve may be elastic and can be assembled on the rod by being pressed against the end of the rod.
