ABSTRACT:

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates generally to a bath brush, and more particularly to a method for making the bath brush.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The U.S. Pat. No. 6,092,258 discloses a bath brush
20
, which is shown in FIG.
1
and is formed of an elastic soft tubular net
21
. The tubular net
21
is fixed on a handle
23
such that the bath brush
20
has a wavy fringe. The handle
23
is provided with a plurality of round holes
24
a-
24
h.
A lashing member
22
is put through the first round hole
24
a
to come out of the second round hole
24
b.
When the lashing member
22
is put through the second round hole
24
b,
the lashing member
22
is put through the tubular net
21
before entering the third round hole
24
c.
The lashing member
22
is put out of the fourth round hole
24
d,
and so forth. The lashing member
22
encloses the tubular net
21
. It is rather time-consuming to put the lashing member
22
through the round holes
24
a-
24
h
. As a result, the prior art bath brush
20
is not cost-effective.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is the primary objective of the present invention to provide a cost-effective method for making a bath brush.
In keeping with the principle of the present invention, the objective of the present invention is attained by a method comprising a first step in which a tubular net is fitted with two support rods separated from each other at an interval, thereby stretching the tubular net. A brush handle is fastened by a tightening member between the two support rods such that the tubular net is surrounded by the tightening member. The stretched tubular net is then pulled out of the two support members, so as to enable the tubular net to join with one side of the handle. The tubular net is released at the tightening point serving as the center. The tubular net is thus expanded to form a spherical bathball.
