Soaking basin and disposable liner
First Claim
1. A disposable liner configured for use with a soaking basin, said liner comprising:
- a planar liquid impermeable material layer, said layer being formed to define a floor and a peripheral wall projecting upwardly from said floor to bound a cavity suitable fro containing a soaking liquid;
first and second distinct areas defined on said floor for respectively accommodating a user'"'"'s left foot and right foot; and
a protrusion formed on said floor between said first and second areas protruding into said cavity.

Abstract
A soaking apparatus utilizing a soaking basin and a disposable liner configured to fit within the basin cavity. The basin is comprised of a material layer formed to define an integral floor and a peripheral wall projecting upwardly therefrom. The basin floor and peripheral wall together define the boundary of a basin cavity. An elongate protrusion protrudes from the floor into the basin cavity between left and right foot areas. The liner is comprised of a thin (e.g., 3-12 mils) material layer formed to define an integral floor and peripheral wall projecting upwardly therefrom. The liner floor and peripheral wall are dimensioned to closely nest within the basin cavity. The liner floor also defines left and right foot areas spaced by a protrusion projecting into the liner cavity. The underside of the liner protrusion forms a concave recess for accommodating the basin floor protrusion.

8. In combination:
-
a reusable basin; and
a single use liner;
said basin comprising a substantially rigid material layer formed to define a basin floor and a basin peripheral wall projecting upwardly from said basin floor, said basin floor and peripheral wall forming a boundary around a basin cavity;
said liner comprising;
a planar, liquid impermeable, material layer formed to define a liner floor and a liner peripheral wall projecting upwardly from said liner floor, said liner floor and peripheral wall forming a boundary around a liner cavity;
said liner floor defining a left foot area and a right foot area; and
at least one protrusion formed on said liner floor protruding into said liner cavity;
said liner floor and peripheral wall being dimensioned to be slightly smaller than said basin floor and peripheral wall for enabling said liner to be removably accommodated in said basin cavity. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
