Portable Loofah And Container Assembly

Abstract

A portable loofah and container assembly for transporting the device with a container includes a cleaning member comprising a fibrous mass. A base is attached to the cleaning member. The base has a circular shape and includes a top surface, a bottom surface, and a perimeter surface. A receiving member is attached to the perimeter surface of the base and a handle is elongated and removably secured to the receiving member. A container removably stores the cleaning member to facilitate transporting the cleaning member during travel.

         10 . The portable loofah assembly of  claim 9 , further including a second section comprising a rod being movably positioned within said interior space of said first section, said second section having a distal end and a proximal end relative to said first section. 
     
     
         11 . The portable loofah assembly of  claim 10 , further including a locking member engaging said first and second sections and releasably engaging said first section to said second section to adjust a total length of the handle, said locking member comprising a first spring pin and being removably positioned within said adjustment holes of said first section. 
     
     
         12 . The portable loofah assembly of  claim 11 , further including a fastening member being attached to said distal end and removably engaging said receiving member, said fastening member comprising a second spring pin being removably positioned within said aperture of said receiving member. 
     
     
         13 . The portable loofah assembly of  claim 1 , wherein said container comprising a case including a top wall, a bottom wall, a front wall, a back wall, and a pair of side walls, said container having a lateral slit extending therethrough and positioned in a center of said container to separate said container into a top portion and a bottom portion, a hinge pivotally coupling said top portion to said bottom portion, said hinge being positioned on said back wall, a clamping member being positioned on said front wall to removably secure said top portion to said bottom portion in a closed position, said clamping member comprising a latch attached to said top portion and a catch attached to said bottom portion, one of said side walls having a slot extending therethrough, said slot receiving said telescopic handle when said handle is attached to said receiving member. 
     
     
         14 . A portable loofah assembly comprising:
 a cleaning member comprising a fibrous mass, said fibrous mass being a loofah;   a base being attached to said cleaning member, said base having a circular shape and including a top surface, a bottom surface, and a perimeter surface, said loofah being attached to said top surface of said base, said base comprising a rigid material;   a receiving member being attached to said perimeter surface of said base, said receiving member including a tube coupled to and protruding out from said perimeter surface, said tube having an opening therein extending into a receiving space of said tube, said tube having an aperture extending therethrough positioned on a side of said tube;   a handle being elongated and being removably secured to said receiving member, said handle being telescopic, said handle being comprised of a rigid material, said rigid material being a plastic material, said handle including:
 a first section comprising a shaft enclosing an interior space, said first section having a first end and a second end, said first end being open and defining an access into said interior space; 
 a hand grip being attached to said second end of said first section; 
 said shaft having a plurality of adjustment holes extending therethrough and being positioned on a side of said first section; and 
 a second section comprising a rod being movably positioned within said interior space of said first section, said second section having a distal end and a proximal end relative to said first section;
