ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF INVENTION
The present invention refers to improvements to a plastic bath sponge, and more specifically to a scrubbing pad made from a tubular elastic element, joined to a smooth/abrasive sponge, in such a way that it is extremely easy to apply soap to the body and at the same time, if necessary, to scrub some part where there is a stain which is difficult to remove.
BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
From time immemorial, man has had to bathe, and for this purpose has made use of different implements, especially sponges or loofahs to help with the task.
Many contributions have been made to this field, but none of these has been able to resolve the inconvenience of combining a scrubbing pad with a sponge.
Much time and ingenuity were required to find the solution to this problem. Finally, after many tests, it was possible to resolve this simple yet demanding requirement.
There are currently many scrubbing pads on the market, including some with features resembling that which I intend to patent with the present application, and such is the case with patents issued in various countries around the world. However, the solutions found and patented are highly impractical and, in some cases, highly costly due to the method which has to be followed for their manufacture.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION
The object of this invention is to remove the above mentioned multiple drawbacks and at the same time, once and for all, provide a sponge which, by combining a sponge with an elastic tubular element, makes it possible to place a portion of solid, powdered or even liquid soap in the scrubbing pad itself, which is an unquestionable improvement over the implements known to date at the time of using the sponge.
