SKIN CLEANSING AND TREATMENT SYSTEM

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Field of the Invention

A skin cleansing and treatment system is securely yet releasably and removably secured to a surface for use by a person to cleanse and/or treat hard to reach areas of the person's body such as, but not limited to, his or her back region.

DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART

Bathing and/or showering are a part of a daily hygiene regimen for most men, women, and children worldwide. A variety of accessories have been developed over the centuries to aid a person in performing these activities. Among the more common aids or accessories are wash cloths, bath sponges, shower caps, and a wide variety of scrubbing devices which attached to the end of a stick or along the length of rope or cloth in order to assist a user in reaching areas of their body which are not readily within reach of his or her arms. In particular, it is difficult, and even impossible in some cases, for many people to reach areas of his or her back while washing themselves in the bath or shower.

In view of this difficulty, a number of devices have been developed which are structured to be mounted to a wall in a shower or bath stall, in order for a user to rub his or her back area against the device in order to cleanse and/or otherwise treat hard to reach areas of their body, once again, such as their back. A number of these known devices are mounted via simple push-on type suction cups in order to maintain the device in position on the wall of a shower or bath stall. However, as is commonly known, such push-on type suction cups often fail to stay mounted once the surface area becomes moist or wet, as occurs in a shower or bath environment. Furthermore, such push-on type suction cups are simply not capable of maintaining such devices in position on a shower or bath stall wall under even moderate loads or stress forces placed upon them, such as exist when a person is pushing his or her back against such a device mounted to a shower or bath stall wall.

A further problem with these known devices is the means for attaching a wash cloth, sponge, and/or applicator to the device which is typically mounted to the wall with push-on suction cups as noted above. In particular, a number of devices are structured such that is it difficult to remove and replace a cloth, sponge, and/or applicator, or, conversely, they are not structured to sufficiently retain a cloth, sponge, and/or applicator in position during use when the cloth, sponge, or applicator is exposed to multi- directional forces from a person's back as he or she rubs up against the device during use.

As a result, known devices are not believed to be utilized for regular daily hygiene because it is either difficult for a user to remove, clean, and replace a cloth, sponge, or applicator such that it is readily available for use on a daily basis, or, because the device fails to securely maintain a cloth, sponge, or applicator in position during use, and/or the device fails to stay attached to the shower or bath stall wall during use. Therefore, it is believed that many users simply give up on attempts to make use of such devices on a regular basis.

As such, it would be beneficial to provide a skin cleansing and treatment system having a mounting assembly which may be securely yet removably attached to an operative surface, such as the wall of a shower and/or bath stall. It would also be helpful to provide a skin cleansing and treatment system having a support member which may be releasably retained by a frame in a manner that resists detachment from the frame during normal use by a user, yet is quickly and easily removable by a user for cleaning, maintenance, and replacement by the user as required. A further advantage for such a skin cleansing and treatment system may be realized by including at least application member which may be quickly and easily mounted to a support member and retained in place during use, but is also quickly and easily removed by a user for cleaning and/or replacement as needed. Another benefit to such a skin cleansing and treatment system may be realized by providing a support member structured for dual use, first, in conjunction with and mounted in the frame of a mounting assembly, and second, independently as a contouring bath pillow. Yet one further benefit may be realized by providing a skin cleansing and treatment system having a plurality of application members which may be mounted onto a support member and utilized for a variety of purposes including, but not limited to, cleansing, exfoliating, applying ointments, lotions, oils and/or medicaments, etc. Another advantage of such a skin cleansing and treatment system may be realized by providing at least some of a plurality of application members with a hand strap such that the application member can be utilized either mounted on a support member or while attached to a person's hand via a hand strap. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

As previously stated, the present invention is directed to a skin cleansing and treatment system which a person can utilize to cleanse and/or apply a medicament and/or otherwise treat an area of the body not easily accessible to the person including, but not limited to, the person's back.

Figure 1 presents a perspective view of one illustrative embodiment of a skin cleansing and treatment system in accordance with the present invention, generally as show as 10. In at least one embodiment, the skin cleansing and treatment system 10 in accordance with the present invention includes a mounting assembly, such as is generally shown as 20 in Figure 1. In a further embodiment, a skin cleansing and treatment system 10 in accordance with the present invention comprises a support assembly, such as is shown at 30 in Figure 1. In yet one further embodiment, a skin cleansing and treatment system 10 in accordance with the present invention includes a cleansing and treatment assembly generally shown as 40 in the illustrative embodiment of Figure 1.

A partial exploded perspective view of one illustrative embodiment of a mounting assembly 20 and a support assembly 30 of a skin cleansing and treatment system 10 in accordance with the present invention is shown in Figure 2. In the embodiment of Figure 2, a mounting assembly 20 has a frame 21 which comprises an outer edge 22 and an inner edge 23. An access opening 24 extends through at least a portion of the frame 21, and as shown best in the illustrative embodiment of Figure 4, the access opening 24 is at least partially defined by the inner edge 23 of the frame 21. In at least one embodiment, the inner edge 23 of the frame 21 comprises of a plurality of serrations 23' which are cooperatively structured and disposed to releasably retain at least a portion of a support member 32 in the frame 21, as described in greater detail below.

A mounting assembly 20 in accordance with at least one embodiment of a skin cleansing and treatment system 10 of the present invention further comprises an attachment assembly 26. More in particular, a mounting assembly 20 in at least one embodiment comprises an attachment assembly 26 which is structured and disposed to securely yet removably and replacably attach a frame 21 to a surface at least while in use. In at least one embodiment, the attachment assembly 26 includes at least one suction member 27 which is disposable between a suction configuration and a release configuration.

As used herein, the phrase "suction configuration" shall mean a configuration wherein a suction member 27 is removably secured to a surface and the suction member 27 remains removably secured to the surface until an external force is applied to the suction member 27 which is sufficient to overcome the suction forces created between the suction member 27 and the surface. As used herein, a "release configuration" shall mean a configuration of a suction member 27 wherein negligible suction forces exist between the suction member 27 and a surface, such that, the suction member 27 is not secured to the surface via suction forces.

In at least one embodiment, a suction member 27 in accordance with the present invention comprises a tab 27'. In at least one further embodiment, a tab 27' of a suction member 27 extends outwardly from a portion of the suction member 27 and operatively engages a lock member 28. An interconnect 29 is utilized in at least one embodiment to attach a lock member 28 to a tab 27' of a suction member 27, such that lock member 28 is operable with the suction member 27. More in particular, in at least one embodiment, a lock member 28 is operable to dispose a corresponding suction member 27 between a release configuration and a suction configuration, as described above.

In at least one further embodiment, and as illustrated best in Figure 4, the mounting assembly 20, and more in particular the frame 21 comprises at least one mounting aperture 25 extending through a portion thereof, wherein the mounting aperture 25 is dimensioned to receive a tab 27' of a suction member 27 therethrough. Further, tab 27' comprises a sufficiently elongated configuration to extend through a mounting aperture 25 of the frame 21 and into an operative engagement with a lock member 28 on an opposite side of the frame 21 from the suction member 27. In at least one further embodiment, a frame 21 in accordance with the present invention comprises a plurality of mounting apertures 25 such that each of a plurality of suction members 27 may be positionable relative to each other suction member 27 attached to the frame 21. The plurality of mounting apertures 25 facilitate securing a mounting assembly 20 to a surface which is not entirely continuous and/or planar, for example, a grouted tile shower or bath wall having grout between individual tiles. More in particular, a suction member 27 may not be disposable into a suction configuration if it even partially overlies a portion of grout, or any other substantially porous or non-planar type of surface. However, the plurality of mounting apertures 25 allows for each suction member 27 to be positioned substantially if not completely over a continuous and/or planar portion of a tile such that a suction configuration may be achieved for each of the plurality of suction members 27, thereby securely yet removably and replacably attaching the frame 21 to the surface. In at least one embodiment, a frame 21 comprises a series of three mounting apertures 25 at each corner, and in yet one further embodiment, the three mounting apertures 25 are arranged in a vertical alignment with one another in each corner and are disposed approximately one- inch apart from one another.

In at least one embodiment of the present invention, an attachment assembly 26 utilizes a power-lever type suction cup, such as is generally illustrated throughout the figures and includes a suction member 27, a lock member 28, and an interconnect 29 to operable attach the lock member 28 to the suction member 27. As such, the suction member 27 in accordance with at least one embodiment of the present invention is capable of producing significantly greater suction force on a surface than a traditional push-on type suction cup, because the suction force is enhanced by positioning the lock member 28 into a locked position after an initial push-on suction bond is attained. Specifically, additional suction force is created and maintained by drawing the cup portion of the suction member 27 into its mold via the lever action of the locking member 28 as it is moved into a locked position.

As previously stated, in at least one embodiment, a skin cleaning and treatment system 10 in accordance with the present invention also includes a support assembly 30. A support assembly 30 in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention includes at least one support member 32. A support member 32 in accordance with the present invention is constructed from a flexible yet resilient material which may be at least temporarily deformed by compressing and/or stretching, yet quickly returns to its original configuration once the compression and/or expansion forces are removed. As just one example, a support member 32 in accordance with the present invention may comprise a natural sponge material of construction. In yet another embodiment, a support member 32 is constructed from a synthetic foam material, and in yet one further embodiment, a support member 32 comprises a water resistant latex material of construction. It is envisioned to be within the scope and intent of the present invention to provide a support member 32 constructed of material (s) which may be economically manufactured such that the support members 32 can be periodically removed and replaced as needed which, of course, will vary depending on the frequency and type of usage.

As shown in the illustrative embodiment of Figure 2, a support member 32 in accordance with the present invention comprises a support surface 33 which is disposed in an outwardly disposed direction, relative to an operative surface to which the mounting assembly 20 is releasably secured, and is positioned for ease of contact by a user during use of the skin cleansing and treatment system 10 in accordance with the present invention. As further illustrated in Figure 2, in at least one embodiment, a support surface 33 of a support member 32 comprises a first curvature 34 and a second curvature 35. In at least one embodiment, the first curvature 34 is configured to mimic a lordotic curve of the human back and a second curvature 35 is configured to mimic a kyphotic curve of a human back. Of course, it is understood to be within the scope and intent of the present invention for a support surface 33 of a support member 32 to comprise other curvilinear configurations and/or a substantially planar configuration. Likewise, a support surface 33 in accordance with at least one embodiment of the present invention may comprise other curvilinear surfaces in addition to a first curvature 34 and a second curvature 35.

In yet one further embodiment of the present invention, a support surface 33 of a support member 32 comprises a supporting channel 36 which is structured and disposed to provide support to a neck and shoulder region of a user. More in particular, in at least one embodiment, the support member 32 is structured to be removed from the frame 21 and utilized independently as a contouring "bath pillow", wherein a user's head, neck, and/or upper shoulders are positioned proximate the supporting channel 36, while the user's back is supported by the first curvature 34 and/or the second curvature 35.

Turning next to Figure 3, in at least one embodiment, a support member 32 comprises a mounting surface 37 which is disposed opposite of support surface 33. In at least one embodiment, the mounting surface 37 is positioned and disposed to physically contact an operative surface to which a frame assembly 20 is securely yet removably attached, while the support member 32 is releasably retained in a frame 21. In order to facilitate mounting a support member 32 to a frame 21, in at least one embodiment, a support member 32 comprises one or more mounting channel 38 extending into and through the mounting surface 37. As shown in the illustrative embodiments of Figures 2 and 3, the mounting channels 38 are formed into and through the mounting surface 37 of the support member 32, and are dimensioned to overlie both the inner edge 23 and outer edge 22 of the frame 21. In at least one embodiment, vertical mounting channels (not shown) are formed in and through mounting surface 37 of the support member 32 and are dimensioned to overlie the corresponding vertical portion of the frame 21. In at least one further embodiment, one or more mounting channels 38 are formed around a periphery of the mounting surface 37 such that a portion of the support member 32 is positioned within the access opening 24 of the frame 21 and overlies the inner edge 23, however, in this embodiment, the support member 32 does not overlie the outer edge 22 of the frame 21.

As will be appreciated from the foregoing, as well as from Figures 2 and 4, the plurality of serrations 23' which surround access opening 24 of the frame 21 will engage at least a portion of the support member 32 as the mounting channels 38 are positioned over and pushed inwardly over the corresponding portions of frame 21. As such, each of the plurality of serrations 23' serves to releasably retain a portion of the support member 32 in the frame 21 during use by a person. More in particular, as a person rubs a portion of his or her body, e.g., the person's back, either up or down, side by side, diagonally, etc., across the support surface 33 of the support member 32, a portion of the support member 32 will be pushed into the plurality of serrations 23' on at least one portion of the frame 21, thereby maintaining the support member 32 in an operative position in the frame 21 during use, as stated above. Further, the plurality of serrations 23' are dimensioned and positioned so as to require compression of the portion of the support member 32 which is positioned into the access opening 24 of a frame 21 in order to release the support member 32 from the access opening 24 of the frame 21.

Looking once again to Figure 3, in at least one further embodiment, the mounting surface 37 of a support member 32 comprises a contact surface 39. In at least one embodiment, the contact surface 39 comprises a material having a relatively high coefficient of friction relative to the operable surface on which a skin cleansing and treatment system 10 is removably attached. As such, the contact surface 39 further serves to maintain a support member 32 in an operative position in a frame 21 during use of a skin cleansing and treatment system 10 in accordance with the present invention. In at least one embodiment, a mounting surface 37 comprises a plurality of contact surfaces 39, and in yet one further embodiment, a contact surface 39 overlies substantially the entire mounting surface 37 of the support member 32.

As noted above with respect to the plurality of serrations 23 ', forces are applied to the support surface 33 of a support member 32 by a person during use, however, the friction forces created by the contact surface 39 will serve to maintain a mounting surface 37, and thus the support member 32 itself, substantially in position relative to the frame 21. More importantly, by maintaining the mounting surface 37 of the support member 32 in position against the forces applied to the support member 32 by a person during use, the amount of force exerted on the frame 21 itself, and thus, on the suction members 27 of the attachment assembly 26 are significantly reduced, thereby further assuring that the mounting assembly 20 remains in an operative position on a surface both during and after use. Once again, a user can easily apply sufficient compressive force to the portion of the support member 32 disposed in the access opening 24 of the frame 21 to quickly and easily remove the support member 32 from the access opening of the frame 21 as needed for cleaning, maintenance, replacement, etc.

It will be appreciated that the combination of the plurality of serrations 23' on the inner edge 23 of frame 21 and one or more contact surfaces 39 along at least a portion of the mounting surface 37 of support member 32 serve to substantially prevent unwanted disengagement and/or release of the support member 32 from the frame 21 during use of the skin cleansing and treatment system 10 in accordance with the present invention. However, given the flexible and resilient properties of support member 32 itself, in accordance with at least one embodiment of the present invention, a user may simply compress portions of support member 32 and easily release the support member 32 from the frame 21 such as for storage, cleaning, replacement, and/or use the support member 32 independently as a contouring bath pillow. It will further be appreciated that when a support member 32 is utilized independently as a contouring bath pillow, the contact surface (s) 39 will facilitate maintaining the support member 32 in position along the side of a bathtub, a spa, etc.

As previously stated, with reference to Figure 1, at least one embodiment a skin cleansing and treatment system 10 in accordance with the present invention further comprises a cleansing and treatment assembly 40. More in particular, the cleansing and treatment assembly 40 in accordance with the present invention is operatively mounted onto a support member 32 and is thereby positioned for contact by a person during use. In at least one embodiment, such as is shown in Figure 5, a cleansing and treatment assembly 40 in accordance with the present invention comprises at least one application member 42. As will be appreciated from Figure 5, the at least one application member 42 may be mounted to support member 32 in an operative orientation such that at least a portion of the application member 42 is positioned for contact by a person during use.

More in particular, and with continued reference to the embodiment of Figure 5, an application member 42 comprises an attachment opening 43 to facilitate mounting the application member 42 over and around a corresponding support member 32. In addition, and as also shown in the illustrative embodiment of Figure 5, the application member 42 comprises a securing element 44 which is structured and disposed to retain the application member 42 in an operative orientation on a support member 32 during use. The securing member 44 may comprise an elastic band, pull tie, hook and loop fastener, snaps, or other such mechanical fasteners in order to maintain the application member 42 in an operative orientation on support surface 3 of the support member 32 during use.

At least one embodiment of a skin cleansing and treatment system 10 in accordance with the present invention comprises a plurality of application members 42 which are structured to be mounted in an operative orientation on a support surface 33 of a support member 32, wherein an application surface 45 of application member 42 is disposed outwardly along the support surface 33. As such, the application surface 45 of the application member 42 is optimally positioned for contacting hard to reach portions of the person's body, such as, by way of example, a person's back, by simply backing or leaning onto the application surface 45 during use.

In at least one further embodiment, each of a plurality of application members 42 comprises a different material of construction along application surface 45. As such, the present skin cleansing and treatment system 10 may be utilized for a variety of skin cleansing and/or treatment requirements such as a person requires and/or desires. In at least one embodiment, an application surface 45 of an application member 42 comprises a simple wash cloth surface for purposes of applying soap or other body wash thereto, thereby allowing the person to wash his or her back regions by contacting portions of the back region against the wash cloth application surface 45 of the application member 42 that is operatively mounted on support member 32, while support assembly 30 is releasably retained in the frame 21 of support member 32, which is removably and replacably secured to an operative surface.

In at least one further embodiment, an application surface 45 of an application member 42 comprises a medicament application surface which is structured to retain an amount of an ointment, lotion, gel, etc., which a person desires to apply to a hard to reach area of their body such as, once again by way of example, his or her back. As previously stated, at least one embodiment of the present invention comprises a plurality of application members 42 and in at least one further embodiment, each of the plurality of application members 42 comprises at least one application surface 45 which may include, but is in no manner limited to, a terry cloth wash surface, a microfiber foam wash surface, a medicament application surface, an exfoliation surface, a polishing surface, a mask application surface, and/or a luffa surface, just to name a few.

As shown in the illustrative embodiment of Figure 6, an application member 42 in accordance with at least one embodiment of a skin cleansing and treatment system 10 of the present invention comprises a strap 46 which is accessible though attachment opening 43. More in particular, the strap 46 is dimensioned to permit a user to position a portion of his or her hand under the strap 46 and utilize the application member 42 in a hand-held orientation when the application member 42 is removed from support member 32, such that the user can clean or otherwise treat other portions of his or her body utilizing the application surface 45 of the application member 42.

An application member 42 in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention is constructed of materials that permit ease and economy of manufacture, as well as ease of maintenance of the same. For example, in at least one embodiment an attachment member 42 is removed from a support member 32 after use by a person and the application member 42 is maintained by simply washing in a standard washing machine. Therefore, the skin cleansing and treatment system 10 in accordance with the present invention allows a user to quickly and easily mount a clean application member 42 to a support member 32 on at least a daily basis, and more frequently as may be required. It will be appreciated that none of the known devices for cleansing or treating hard to reach portions of a person's body provide the stability, versatility, and ease of use of the present skin cleansing and treatment system 10. Further, the simplicity of manufacture and ease of use of the present skin cleansing and treatment system 10, as well as the variety of corresponding application members 42 for use therewith, provides a cost-effective solution to a common hygiene issue faced by every man, woman, and child on a regular, often daily basis.

Since many modifications, variations and changes in detail can be made to the described embodiments of the invention, it is intended that all matters in the foregoing description and shown in the accompanying drawings be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
