ABSTRACT:
A user-powered body scrubber for use in a tub or shower. It includes at least one elongated vertical guide member, and brackets for mounting the guide member outwardly from the wall in spaced, parallel relation to the wall. A brush carriage is fitted to the vertical member in slidably captive relation for movement vertically along the guide member. At least one circular brush is carried by the brush carriage for rotation about an axis perpendicular to such movement along the guide member. A friction roller or rack-and-pinion arrangement causes the brush to rotate in response to said movement along the guide member. A cable has one end connected to the carriage, there being a first cable reach extending upwardly from the carriage along the guide member to a horizontal swingable arm including pulleys, the cable extending over the pulleys to provide a downwardly extending cable reach with a handle for being pulled by the user to lift the carriage upwardly along the guide member and for being released to permit the carriage to move downwardly along the guide member. The user places the body against the rotating brush while alternately pulling and releasing the cable to cause the brush to oscillate vertically as well as to oscillate rotatingly accordingly.
