Patent ID: 7175357

Claim:
A back scrubber comprising: A) a flexible body having (1) a first surface that is a front surface when the body is in use, (2) a second surface that is a rear surface when the body is in use, (3) a peripheral edge, (4) the front surface being spaced apart from the rear surface to define an interior volume in the flexible body, (5) a multiplicity of suction cups on the rear surface of the body, (6) a first end which is a top end when the body is in use, (7) a second end which is a bottom end when the body is in use, (8) a longitudinal axis which extends between the first end and the second end of the body, (9) a first side which extends between the first end and the second end of the body, (10) a second side which extends between the first end and the second end of the body, (11) a transverse axis which extends between the first side and the second side of the body, and (12) a thickness dimension which extends between the front surface and the rear surface; B) a flexible container on the front surface of the body, the flexible container having a plurality of dispensing holes defined therein, the flexible container being located near the top end of the flexible body and extending transversely across the front surface in the direction of the transverse axis of the body, the flexible container being adapted to contain liquid soap on the front surface and to dispense liquid soap through the dispensing holes when pressure is applied to the container; C) a multiplicity of brushes rotatably mounted on the front surface, the flexible container being located between some of the brushes, the brushes being movable toward the rear surface between a first position with the front surface unflexed and a second position with the front surface flexed toward the rear surface; and D) a motor unit located in the interior volume of the flexible body, the motor unit being operatively connected to the brushes to rotate those brushes when the brushes are moved toward the rear surface into the second position thereof.
