Benefits of technology

[0007]The apparatus disclosed herein and the method of manufacturing the same addresses the above stated need for an apparatus for cleaning and maintaining the personal hygiene of a user. The apparatus may maintain the personal hygiene of a user by enabling exfoliation, cleaning, and massaging of the user's body. The apparatus disclosed herein comprises multiple layers of an abrasive mesh for cleaning the user. The apparatus disclosed herein further comprises a perforated lower casing and an upper casing. The perforated lower casing comprises longitudinal perforations for inserting the abrasive mesh. The abrasive mesh is folded to fit into the perforations of the perforated lower casing. The abrasive mesh may be fastened to the perforated lower casing by a mesh fastener. The abrasive mesh may also be fastened to the perforated lower casing by gluing, interference fit, heat welding, etc. An upper casing is attached to the perforated lower casing by way of an interference fit. The upper casing allows the user to grasp and control the movement of the apparatus.

Problems solved by technology

Natural sponges are manufactured from animals and loofahs are manufactured from plants; hence natural sponges and loofahs are susceptible to rotting and parasite infestation.
The nylon mesh tied at the center creates a wavy, uncontrolled structure which limits the nylon mesh's useful cleaning area.
The current grasping devices provide limited useful cleansing control.

Abstract

Disclosed herein is an apparatus for cleaning and maintaining the personal hygiene of a user, and a method of manufacturing the same. The apparatus comprises layers of an abrasive mesh for cleaning the user, a perforated lower casing, and an upper casing. The abrasive mesh is folded and inserted in perforations of the perforated lower casing and fastened to the perforated lower casing. The upper casing is attached to the perforated lower casing. The upper casing allows the user to grasp and control movement of the apparatus. The abrasive mesh allows cleaning, exfoliation, and massaging of the user.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]This invention, in general, relates to toiletries. More particularly, this invention relates to an apparatus for cleaning and maintaining the personal hygiene of a user.[0002]Natural and man-made sponges, loofahs, and nylon poufs are often used for personal cleaning. Natural sponges are manufactured from animals and loofahs are manufactured from plants; hence natural sponges and loofahs are susceptible to rotting and parasite infestation. There is a need for a personal cleaning apparatus which is not susceptible to rotting and infestation.[0003]Nylon poufs are usually made from a folded nylon mesh tied together in the center. The nylon mesh tied at the center creates a wavy, uncontrolled structure which limits the nylon mesh's useful cleaning area. During use, nylon poufs also need to be held by the nylon mesh itself. Additionally, some nylon poufs are attached to a grasping device using a central tying device. The current grasping devices provide limited useful clea...
