发明名称 Wall-mountable, hands-free, back-scrubbing apparatus
摘要 A wall-mountable apparatus enables a user to scrub the user's back hands-free. The apparatus includes two primary features, namely, a slider plate and a back-engaging assembly. The slider plate includes laterally opposed plate-to-assembly engaging structures. The back-engaging assembly includes a plate-engaging interface structure, a bezel structure and a liquid material delivery assembly. The plate-engaging interface structure includes laterally-opposed plate-engaging structures. The laterally-opposed plate-engaging structures cooperate with the plate-to-assembly engaging structures for attaching the back-engaging assembly to the slider plate. The bezel structure includes a hemi-ovoidal outer surface, and an assembly-receiving inner surface. The liquid delivery apparatus is received adjacent the assembly-receiving surface and includes a liquid receptacle and liquid delivery elements. The delivery elements are in communication with the bezel structure for outletting liquid from the liquid receptacle to the outer surface. The back-engaging assembly is vertically adjustable relative to the wall-mountable slider plate.

主权项 1. A wall-mountable apparatus for enabling a user to scrub the user's back hands-free, the wall-mountable apparatus comprising: a wall-mountable slider plate, the slider plate comprising a maximum plate width, a maximum plate height, a wall-engaging posterior side, an assembly-engaging anterior side, and laterally opposed plate-to-assembly engaging structures, the wall-engaging posterior side being outfittable with plate-to-wall fastening means, the laterally opposed plate-to-assembly engaging structures each comprising laterally-located structures and anteriorly-located structures, the laterally-located structures comprising an upper pin-receiving groove, the anterior located structures comprising forwardly-extending teeth; and a back-engaging assembly, the back-engaging assembly comprising a plate-engaging interface structure, a back-engaging scrubber structure, and a liquid material delivery assembly, the plate-engaging interface structure comprising a backing section and laterally-opposed plate-engaging structures, the laterally-opposed plate-engaging structures having a uniform distance therebetween, the uniform distance being greater than the maximum plate width, each plate-engaging structure comprising an upper medially extending pivot pin and rearwardly extending teeth, the scrubber structure comprising an anterior outer surface, lateral sides, and an assembly-receiving inner surface, the anterior outer surface and assembly-receiving inner surface comprising at least one liquid outlet, the liquid material delivery assembly being receivable adjacent the assembly-receiving inner surface and comprising a liquid receptacle and liquid delivery means, the liquid delivery means being in communication with the at least one liquid outlet for outletting liquid material from the liquid receptacle to the anterior outer surface, the backing section being attached to the scrubber structure for enclosing the liquid material delivery assembly therewithin, the slider plate being fastenable to a wall, the pivot pins being received in the pin-receiving grooves, the forwardly extending teeth being engaged with the rearwardly extending teeth, the back-engaging assembly being vertically re-positionable relative to the slider plate by (1) pivoting the back-engaging assembly via the pivot pins thereby disengaging the forwardly and rearwardly extending teeth, (2) adjusting the back-engaging assembly vertically relative to the slider plate, the pivot pins vertically traveling in the pin-receiving grooves, and (3) re-pivoting the back-engaging assembly via the pivot pins thereby re-engaging the forwardly and rearwardly extending teeth, the anterior outer surface and lateral sides of the scrubber structure for directing liquid material downward, rearward and medially to a maximum low point of the scrubber structure for enabling the liquid material to depart the scrubber structure from the maximum low point.
