Description

Bathroom accessory

TECHNICAL SECTOR

The present application refers to a bathroom accessory, specially prepared for showers or the like, which ensures the ideal cleaning and massage of inaccessible areas such as the back.

STATE OF THE ART

The user who wishes to bathe or shower and wants to keep himself completely clean finds himself faced with the problem of access to the back. The back is one of the areas of the body that accumulates more dead cells and that we must not forget to rub when we shower or bathe. To be able to clean the back you need a sponge or brush with a long handle to be able to manually clean inaccessible areas.

This solution is moderately effective, but the instrument is large and cumbersome to handle.

The applicant is not aware of any system similar to the invention.

BRIEF EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The invention consists of a bathroom accessory according to claim 1. Its different variants solve the problems outlined.

Specially designed for all those people who, due to reduced mobility, advanced age or other causes, cannot rub their back well by themselves.

It can be installed both on the bathroom wall and prefabricated as standard in the shower column itself.

The bathroom accessory comprises a housing with a flat base for fixing to a wall and a larger face on which at least one sponge is arranged. In this way, the user can put the desired soap or product on the sponge and rub himself / herself. It can also incorporate a water inlet and outlet system that will allow to refresh and moisten the skin, during cleansing, exfoliation or massage.

The sponge is preferably arranged on a support, which makes it removable and / or rotatable. For example, an electric motor, a turbine can be arranged in the flow of water between the inlet and the outlets of this ...

Other variants can be seen in the rest of the report.

DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

For a better understanding of the invention, the following figure is included.

Figure 1: Perspective view of a first embodiment.

MODES OF EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

An embodiment of the invention will be briefly described below, as an illustrative and non-limiting example thereof.

Figure 1 shows an example of embodiment of the accessory formed by a casing (1) with a flat base (not visible) for fixing to a wall of a shower or bathroom. The flat base has suction cups or another system to be fixed to the wall with enough strength to resist the efforts. If desired, the housing can have one or more water inlets (2) on that flat base or on one side.

On a larger side, generally for a corduroy pan, one or more sponges (4) are sponged. In a preferred embodiment, the housing (1) carries two parallel circular sponges (4).

Preferably the sponges (4) are removable for replacement. Thus it is possible to replace a worn sponge or change the properties of the sponge (4) used. Ideally the sponge (4) is mounted on a head or support (5) which is the one that is connected to the casing (1). The sponges (4) will have a different finish based on the type of hygiene to be applied (rub, exfoliate, massage, etc.).

The joint between the support (5) and the casing (1) can be rotatable, either freely rotating or mobile due to the pressure of the water circulating from the inlet (2), which acts on a turbine (not visible) connected to the support (5). A third solution is to arrange a small electric motor inside the casing (1), together with its power supply, both in suitably sealed spaces. In this case, the accessory will have a start and stop button, as well as speed adjustment and another for the direction of rotation ... These buttons can be on a wireless remote control.

When a water inlet (2) is arranged in the casing (1), the water exits through one or more water outlets (6) arranged around or above the sponges (4). If desired, the water outlets (6) can be in an independent body of the casing (1) to be able to adjust the distance between them. The body can be connected by a flexible hose or be totally independent.
