Kik-n-it callus remover

Abstract

The device is a callus reducing appliance in the shape of a circular disk. It is a multilayered, flexible device. On the front or working side of the disk is an abrasive grit which is held in place by means of a waterproof adhesive that is pre-cured. The backside of the disk is the mounting side adapted to attach to a bathing conveyance. The adhesive backing side of the device is covered with a disposable protective cover that is removed by the consumer prior to placement in the working environment. The device uses biomechanical energy and is used in a bathtub or other bathing conveyance utilizing either full immersion in water or free running water.

1 . A device for removing calluses from a person's feet comprising:
 a disk having a front surface and a back surface;   abrasive grit located on the front surface of said disk;   adhesive located on the back surface of said disk; and   a protective coating covers the adhesive coating on the back surface of said disk;   wherein, without using a hand, calluses can be removed by rubbing a foot on said front surface of said disk immersed in water while standing or sitting.   
   
   
       2 . The device of  claim 1  wherein said abrasive grit of the front surface of the disk is in a range of 60 to 80 grit. 
   
   
       3 . The device of  claim 1  wherein said protective coating is removed from said adhesive coating prior to using said disk for the first time to adhere said disk to a vertical surface in a shower or bath tub. 
   
   
       4 . The device of  claim 1  wherein said protective coating is removed from said adhesive coating prior to using said disk for the first time to adhere said disk to a horizontal surface in a shower or bath tub. 
   
   
       5 . The device of  claim 1  wherein said disk is flexible. 
   
   
       6 . The device of  claim 5  wherein said abrasive grit is attached to the front surface of said disk with waterproof adhesive. 
   
   
       7 . The device of  claim 6  wherein said disk is not adversely affected by warm or cold water. 
   
   
       8 . The device of  claim 7  wherein said disk is adhered to a floor of a shower to provide improved traction for increasing stability while bathing. 
   
   
       9 . A method for removing calluses from a person's feet comprising the step of:
 providing a disk having a front surface and a back surface;   locating abrasive grit on the front surface of said disk;   locating adhesive on the back surface of said disk; and   covering the adhesive coating on the back surface of said disk with a protective coating;   wherein, without using a hand, calluses can be removed by rubbing a foot on said front surface of said disk immersed in water while standing or sitting.   
   
   
       10 . The method of  claim 9  wherein said abrasive grit of the front surface of the disk is in a range of 60 to 80 grit. 
   
   
       11 . The method of  claim 9  wherein said protective coating is removed from said adhesive coating prior to using said disk for the first time to adhere said disk to a vertical surface in a shower or bath tub. 
   
   
       12 . The method of  claim 9  wherein said protective coating is removed from said adhesive coating prior to using said disk for the first time to adhere said disk to a horizontal surface in a shower or bath tub. 
   
   
       13 . The method of  claim 9  wherein said disk is flexible. 
   
   
       14 . The method of  claim 13  wherein said abrasive grit is attached to the front surface of said disk with waterproof adhesive. 
   
   
       15 . The method of  claim 14  wherein said disk is not adversely affected by warm or cold water. 
   
   
       16 . The method of  claim 15  wherein said disk is adhered to a floor of a shower to provide improved traction for increasing stability while bathing.
