Loofah sponge

Abstract

A loofah sponge includes a first cover layer, a second cover layer secured to the first cover layer by peripheral stitching, and an inner layer loose inside an interior space formed by the first cover layer and the second cover layer. The configuration of the loofah sponge, particularly loose inner layer, provides enhanced durability and ergonomics.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A loofah sponge, comprising:
 a first cover layer;   a second cover layer secured to the first cover layer by peripheral stitching; and   an inner layer loose inside an interior space formed by the first cover layer and the second cover layer.   
     
     
         2 . The loofah sponge of  claim 1 , wherein the first cover layer and the second cover layer bulge outwards due to the presence of the inner layer. 
     
     
         3 . The loofah sponge of  claim 1 , wherein the peripheral stitching comprises stitching around a common periphery of the first cover layer and the second cover layer, and wherein the stitching is indented from an edge formed by the first cover layer and the second cover layer. 
     
     
         4 . The loofah sponge of  claim 1 , wherein a loop is secured in between the first cover layer and the second cover layer by the peripheral stitching. 
     
     
         5 . The loofah sponge of  claim 1 , wherein a tag is secured in between the first cover layer and the second cover layer by the peripheral stitching. 
     
     
         6 . The loofah sponge of  claim 1 , wherein the first cover layer and the second cover layer are each leaf-shaped. 
     
     
         7 . The loofah sponge of  claim 1 , wherein the inner layer is oval-shaped. 
     
     
         8 . The loofah sponge of  claim 1 , wherein the first cover layer, the second cover layer, and the inner layer are rectangular. 
     
     
         9 . A method of manufacturing a loofah sponge, comprising:
 providing a first cover layer;   placing an inner layer on top of the first cover layer;   placing a second cover layer on top of the inner layer; and   securing the second cover layer to the first cover layer by peripheral stitching,   wherein the inner layer is loose inside an interior space formed by the first cover layer and the second cover layer.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the first cover layer and the second cover layer bulge outwards due to the presence of the inner layer. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the peripheral stitching comprises stitching around a common periphery of the first cover layer and the second cover layer, and wherein the stitching is indented from an edge formed by the first cover layer and the second cover layer. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 9 , further comprising securing a loop in between the first cover layer and the second cover layer by the peripheral stitching. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 9 , further comprising securing a tag in between the first cover layer and the second cover layer by the peripheral stitching. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the first cover layer and the second cover layer are each leaf-shaped. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the inner layer is oval-shaped. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the first cover layer, the second cover layer, and the inner layer are rectangular.
