Bath ball

Abstract

A bath ball includes a corrugated annular body being formed by axially squeezing a long sleeve-shaped elastic net woven or knitted from artificial fibers and having an extent of elasticity. The corrugated annular body is tied at two diametrically opposite points with fastening means so that outer peripheral portions of the corrugated annular body naturally loosely expand about the tied points toward two outer sides to form a puffy body close to a ball. The corrugated annular body includes a plurality of valleys, into which one or more types of cleaning elements may be selectively embedded to extend in a direction parallel with the valleys. The cleaning elements enable the bath ball to hold more bubbles and provide enhanced cleaning effect.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A bath ball comprising a corrugated annular body being formed by axially squeezing a long sleeve-shaped elastic net woven or knitted from artificial fibers and having an extent of elasticity, said corrugated annular body being tied at two diametrically opposite points with fastening means so that outer peripheral portions of said corrugated annular body naturally loosely expand about the tied points toward two outer sides to form a puffy body close to a ball; and said corrugated annular body including a plurality of valleys, into which at least one cleaning element may be selectively embedded.  
     
     
         2 . The bath ball as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said cleaning element is embedded in each said valley at one side of said corrugated annular body.  
     
     
         3 . The bath ball as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said cleaning element is embedded in each said valley at both sides of said corrugated annular body.  
     
     
         4 . The bath ball as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said cleaning element is embedded in every said valley on said corrugated annular body.  
     
     
         5 . The bath ball as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein at least two said cleaning elements of different materials are embedded in one said valley of said corrugated annular body.  
     
     
         6 . The bath ball as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein at least two said cleaning elements are embedded in one said valley of said corrugated annular body.  
     
     
         7 . The bath ball as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said cleaning element is selected from the group consisting of non-woven cloth, sponge, foam rubber, and loofah.  
     
     
         8 . The bath ball as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said cleaning element is an elongated member.  
     
     
         9 . The bath ball as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein said elongated cleaning element has a cross section selected from the group consisting of round, rhombic, triangular, and square shapes.
