Patent ID: 7725974

Claim:
A footwear and foot cleaning and disinfecting apparatus comprising: a mainframe having a top surface, a bottom surface, and a perimeter edge defined by parallel first and second edges connected by side edges; a planar support surface having an upper surface separated from a parallel lower surface by a width of said support surface, and having a circumference defining exterior dimensions of said support surface; a plurality of apertures communicating between the upper surface and the lower surface; said lower surface of said support surface engageable on said top surface of said mainframe; a fluid control unit communicating with a supply of pressurized fluid, said fluid control unit having an activated state wherein said pressurized fluid is communicated from an output aperture, and having a default deactivated state interrupting said communication; a plurality of bristle assemblies engaged in a central area of said mainframe; each bristle assembly having bristles extending a distance above said top surface of said mainframe and having a flexible conduit adjacent to said bristles extending substantially said distance above said top surface; said flexible conduit having a first end in sealed engagement to a fluid supply conduit communicating with said output aperture, and having a distal end adapted for fluid disbursement; said distance being larger than said width of said support surface thereby providing a projection of said bristle assembly above said top surface; said mainframe dimensioned for engagement with a recovery tray above a bottom surface of said tray which is surrounded by sidewalls; means to change said fluid control unit to said activated state only when weight is placed upon said upper surface; a disbursement of said fluid from said distal ends of said flexible conduits during said activated state, whereby a user standing on said upper surface will activate said apparatus and can employ said bristles and said fluid to clean their footwear or feet and dislodge debris using said bristles and said fluid disbursed from said flexible conduits.
