ABSTRACT:
A boby brush shower stall in which a body brush is vertically oriented and supported from a single bearing, and driven through a clutch mechanism from a gear box and electrical motor at a speed range greater than about 90 rpm and below about 120 rpm. The body brush is mounted on the vertical drive shaft and has soft flexible bristles which hang and droop downwardly at speeds below 90 rpm and which extends substantially horizontally when rotated at speeds above 90 rpm and a spray bar sprays liquid on the elongated body brush at spaced points along the length thereof to maintain the lubricity of the bristles at a certain level. The bristles are soft and flexible and conform to body contours to provide the unique massage, clean and scrubbing action to cleanse the skin surfaces of dirt, scale and provide a certain invigorating action. A stall is provided having a pair of end walls, back walls and short front side walls, the short front side walls defining an entranceway upon which a door is hung and a three-sided chamber for the body brush and a seat section for a bather spaced from the body brush a distance short enough that a bather can sit on the seat and place his or her feet into the rotating brush. A venturi system is utilized for injecting various soaps, body lotions, body oils or rinse additives to the water sprayed on the body brush to maintain the lubricity thereof.
