Benefits of technology

[0004] It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a bath utility made from a plastic mesh tube. The bath utility is a spongy body having multiple stacked folds. The folds of the bath utility have continuous fine wave or saw tooth configurations so that the bath utility has higher density, better rigidity and rougher surface to provide better rubbing effect for a user's skin.

Problems solved by technology

In addition, such mesh tube 10 has a thin thickness so that the bath ball or bath brush made from such mesh tube 10 can hardly provide rubbing effect for a user's skin.

Embodiment Construction

[0019] Please refer to FIG. 2. The bath utility of the present invention is made from the mesh tube 20 of FIG. 2. The mesh tube 20 is crimped and formed with wave or saw tooth structures 22 arranged along the axis of the mesh tube 20. The mesh tube 20 is also shown as the upper article of photograph A and right article of photograph B. The mesh tube 20 is such crimped that the wave crests of the crimps 22 outward protrude from the outer surface of the mesh tube 20, while the wave troughs of the crimps 22 inward protrude from the inner surface of the mesh tube 20. According to the crimped or waved structure, the wall of the mesh tube 20 has a thickness thicker than the thickness of the conventional mesh tube. Therefore, the mesh tube 20 has a better rigidity than the rigidity of the conventional mesh tube.

[0020] Referring to FIG. 3, when manufacturing the bath utility, a mesh tube 20 with a certain length is looped around two posts 32 of a tool 30. The mesh tube 20 is tensioned to a...

Abstract

A bath utility made from a plastic mesh tube. The bath utility is a spongy body having multiple stacked folds. The folds of the bath utility partially or totally have continuous fine wave or saw tooth configurations. Accordingly, the bath utility has a rougher surface for providing better rubbing effect for a user's skin. In addition, the bath utility has higher density and better rigidity.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention is related to a bath utility made from a plastic mesh tube. The bath utility is a spongy body having multiple stacked folds. The folds of the bath utility are more rigid and rougher so as to provide better rubbing effect for a user's skin. [0002] A bath utility such as a bath ball or bath brush is made from a plastic mesh tube. The plastic mesh tube is extended to a certain extent and crimped to form a spongy bath ball or bath brush. U.S. Pat. No. 5,709,434 of this applicant discloses a method of making a bath utility made from a mesh tube. [0003]FIG. 1 shows a conventional mesh tube 10. The conventional mesh tube is also shown as the lower article of photograph A and left article of photograph B. Such mesh tube 10 is quite soft and has smooth surface. In addition, such mesh tube 10 has a thin thickness so that the bath ball or bath brush made from such mesh tube 10 can hardly provide rubbing effect for a user's skin. SUMMARY ...
