Abstract

A sponge rubber foot exfoliation apparatus to remove thick, rough, dry, peeling, flaky skin and calluses from the arches, tops, bottoms, sides, heels and toes of feet evenly gently painlessly, smoothly and softly. The first apparatus consisting of a sponge rubber handheld device will attach to a second apparatus. The second apparatus comprising flexible material with abrasives and sponge rubber material affixed with abrasives to exfoliate feet. A single rigid plastic perimeter ring, double rigid plastic plates and single rigid plastic plate of the second apparatus will attach to and secure the flexible and sponge rubber material with abrasives to the first apparatus.

Claims

1. A foot exfoliation apparatus to remove rough, thick, flaky, dead, dry skin and calluses, the apparatus comprising:

a) a first device held by a clutched hand and gripping fingers;

b) a second device using various design and construction methods will attach to the second device to exfoliate rough, thick, flaky, dead, dry skin and calluses from feet.

2. The apparatus of claim 1, the first handheld device has an oval dome shape, the bottom portion not forming a complete circle, the extension of the incomplete oval extending downwardly.

3. The apparatus of claim 1, the first device includes a flexible narrow hourglass waist with circular vertical walls that extend upwardly around the perimeter of the flexible narrow hourglass waist, its top perimeter edge attaching to the bottom downward extension of the circular dome.

4. The apparatus of claim 1, the oval dome is attached to the top portion of a flexible narrow hourglass waist that extends around the perimeter and will flex, gyrate and pivot.

5. The apparatus of claim 1, the oval dome hand device has contoured finger grooves that extends outward laterally from the flexible narrow hourglass waist.

6. The apparatus of claim 1, the oval dome has contoured finger loops that will compress around and secure thumbs and fingers when the oval dome is clutched and flexible narrow hourglass waist is squeezed inwardly.

7. The apparatus of claim 1, the device has a perimeter line extends continuously around the perimeter of the perimeter line.

8. The apparatus of claim 1, the device has a perimeter ridge extends continuously around the perimeter of the perimeter ridge.

9. The apparatus of claim 1, the device has a half-oval base portion that projects downwardly from the continuous perimeter line and continuous perimeter ridge.

10. The apparatus of claim 1, the half-oval base has tongue slots that extends inwardly from the perimeter line under the perimeter ridge.

11. The apparatus of claim 2, the device has a rigid perimeter ring extends continuously around the perimeter of the perimeter ring.

12. The apparatus of claim 2, the rigid perimeter ring has the width, radius and diameter of the perimeter ridge.

13. The apparatus of claim 2, the rigid perimeter ring fits the circumference of the perimeter ridge.

14. The apparatus of claim 2, the rigid perimeter ring has an outwardly directed finger tab that will be held between fingers to attach and remove the rigid perimeter ring from the half-oval base below the perimeter line and perimeter ridge.

15. The apparatus of claim 2, the rigid plastic perimeter ring has an inwardly directed tongue tabs that will insert into matching tongue slots to permit the rigid plastic perimeter ring to attach to the half-oval base below the perimeter line against the perimeter ridge.

16. The apparatus of claim 2, the device has non-abrasive flexible material that will adjust, bend and flex;

17. The apparatus of claim 2, abrasives will be affixed on the outer surface of the flexible material;

18. The apparatus of claim 2, the flexible material with affixed abrasives will attach to the rigid perimeter ring that extends continuously around the perimeter of the perimeter ring;

19. The apparatus of claim 2, the flexible material with abrasives attached to the rigid perimeter ring that extends around the perimeter of the apparatus placed over the sponge rubber half-oval base attached to the perimeter ridge under the perimeter line will adjust, bend and flex equally and simultaneously when pressed on and moved over feet.

20. The apparatus of claim 3, the handheld portion has a flat bottom surface with hollow indentations projecting upward into the base of the handheld portion.

21. The apparatus of claim 3, the device has a separated half-oval base with a top flat surface.

22. The apparatus of claim 3, the device has a rigid plate with hollow rigid extensions that project upward from the top flat surface of the rigid plate.

23. The apparatus of claim 3, the device has a second rigid plate with a top flat surface with rigid extensions that project upward from the top flat surface.

24. The apparatus of claim 3, the second rigid plate has a bottom that will will attach to the top surface the half-oval device.

25. The apparatus of claim 3, the rigid extensions on the second rigid plate will detachably attach into the rigid extensions of the first rigid plate.

26. The apparatus of claim 4, the device is a rigid plastic bowl with upwardly curved top and bottom surfaces.

27. The apparatus of claim 4, the rigid plastic bowl has a spiral extension and a non-spiral extension connected to the top upwardly curved surface of the curved bowl.

28. The apparatus of claim 4, the bottom curved surface of the rigid plastic bowl has sponge rubber material attached to its bottom outer surface.

29. The apparatus of claim 4, the device with the bowl shape, with sponge rubber material on its outer surface has abrasives affixed on the outer surface of the sponge rubber.

30. The apparatus of claim 5, device has a spiral attachment that is attached to a rigid flat plate.

31. The apparatus of claim 6, the handheld device has elevated ridges to prevent movement and slippage of the fingers and hand.

32. The apparatus of claim 6, the device has a rigid plate attached to the flat bottom surface of the handheld device with elevated ridges.

33. The apparatus of claim 6, the device has individual pillows or rolls that extend downwardly from the bottom of the flat rigid plate.

34. The apparatus of claim 6, the individual abrasive pillows or rolls are equally separated and spaced apart.

35. The apparatus of claim 7, the device has double sponge rubber pillows.

36. The apparatus of claim 7, the device with double sponge rubber pillows will attach to bottom of the rigid plate.
