Abstract:
A holder for a scouring device comprising:a) a base; b) a pair of opposed flexible legs extending from the base and being movable toward each other by the application of pressure by a user, each opposed flexible leg comprising a central portion and an end portion; and c) a gripping assembly positioned at the end portion of each of the opposed flexible legs and including a gripping means comprising a finger guard having an upper surface for placement of the fingers of the user and a lower surface, a plurality of spaced apart grippers extending away from the lower surface movable in unison from a first position by the application of pressure by the fingers of the user to the pair of opposed flexible legs sufficient to enter the scouring device at the same time to secure the holder to the scouring device wherein the scouring device is held by the holder without the application of pressure by the user, to a second position wherein the user maintains pressure on the holder to release the grippers at the same time from the scouring device without the user having to touch the scouring device during movement from the first position to the second position.
