Scrub Brush

Abstract

Disclosed herein is an apparatus for cleaning and maintaining the personal hygiene of a user, and a method of manufacturing the same. The apparatus comprises layers of an abrasive mesh for cleaning the user, a perforated lower casing, and an upper casing. The abrasive mesh is folded and inserted in perforations of the perforated lower casing and fastened to the perforated lower casing. The upper casing is attached to the perforated lower casing. The upper casing allows the user to grasp and control movement of the apparatus. The abrasive mesh allows cleaning, exfoliation, and massaging of the user.

1 . An apparatus for cleaning and maintaining personal hygiene of a user, comprising:
 a plurality of layers of an abrasive mesh for cleaning said user, wherein said abrasive mesh is fastened to a perforated lower casing;   said perforated lower casing comprising perforations for inserting the abrasive mesh, wherein the abrasive mesh is folded to fit into said perforations of the perforated lower casing; and   an upper casing for grasping and controlling movement of the apparatus by the user, wherein said upper casing is attached to the perforated lower casing;   
     whereby the abrasive mesh allows said cleaning, exfoliation, and massaging of the user to maintain said personal hygiene of the user. 
   
   
       2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the abrasive mesh comprises a flexible material. 
   
   
       3 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising a mesh fastener for fastening the abrasive mesh to the perforated lower casing. 
   
   
       4 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the upper casing is attached to the perforated lower casing by way of an interference fit. 
   
   
       5 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of grips attached to the upper casing for providing a firm hold on the upper casing to the user. 
   
   
       6 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising a gel pump provided within the upper casing for storing and dispensing a cleaning liquid. 
   
   
       7 . The apparatus of  claim 6 , wherein said gel pump comprises an outlet tube positioned within the abrasive mesh, wherein said cleaning liquid is dispensed through said outlet tube into the abrasive mesh. 
   
   
       8 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising a scrubber attached to top surface of the upper casing. 
   
   
       9 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the upper casing comprises an attachment section for attaching an appendage. 
   
   
       10 . The apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein said appendage is a detachable handle for providing extended reach to the user during cleaning. 
   
   
       11 . The apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein said appendage is a cord used for hanging, drying, and storage. 
   
   
       12 . A method of manufacturing an apparatus for cleaning and maintaining personal hygiene of a user, comprising the steps of:
 preparing an abrasive mesh, comprising the steps of:
 preparing material of said abrasive mesh by extrusion; 
 laying said prepared material to form a flat layered mesh; 
   inserting said prepared abrasive mesh into perforations of a perforated lower casing, wherein the prepared abrasive mesh is folded to fit into said perforations;   fastening said inserted abrasive mesh to said perforated lower casing; and   attaching an upper casing to the perforated lower casing.   
   
   
       13 . The method of  claim 12 , further comprising a step of providing a mesh fastener for fastening the inserted abrasive mesh to the perforated lower casing. 
   
   
       14 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein said upper casing is attached to the perforated lower casing by way of an interference fit. 
   
   
       15 . The method of  claim 12 , further comprising a step of providing a plurality of grips attached to said upper casing for providing a firm hold on the upper casing to said user. 
   
   
       16 . The method of  claim 12 , further comprising a step of providing a gel pump within said upper casing for storing and dispensing a cleaning liquid, wherein said cleaning liquid is dispensed through an outlet tube into the abrasive mesh. 
   
   
       17 . The method of  claim 12 , further comprising a step of providing a scrubber attached to top surface of said upper casing. 
   
   
       18 . The method of  claim 12 , further comprising a step of providing an attachment section on said upper casing for attaching an appendage, wherein said appendage is one of a detachable handle and a cord.
