Abstract

A flat circular blade is provided including opposite side finger tip engageable grip portions generally centered relative to the blade with the peripheral edge of the blade being laterally deflected to define a scraping edge for scraping dead skin tissue from various areas of the body.

Claims

1. An exfoliator disc for scraping and removing dead skin tissues comprising a thin, flat, circular metal blade, opposite side finger tip engageable grip portions generally centered relative to the blade, the peripheral edge of the blade including a continuous, laterially deflected scraping edge projecting laterally to only one side of said blade, said blade having a constant thickness and parallel flat surfaces extending to the deflected edge, said deflected scraping edge being formed when the blade is sheared from stock metal and having a lateral dimension in the same direction as the lateral deflection of the scraping edge that is substantially less than the thickness of the blade and a minute radial dimension measured along the radius of the disc, said deflected edge also tapering laterally to a feather edge with the peripheral side of the deflected edge forming with the peripheral edge of the blade a cylindrical surface.

2. The combination of claim 1 wherein said grip portions define shallow oppositely outwardly imperforate opening finger tip receiving recesses, said blade including a center aperture extending therethrough, said grip portions being formed integrally with a connecting portion thereof extending through said aperture.
