Abstract:
A foot and toe washer may have telescopic sections locking into place in an extended state convenient to the user such that not all extensions may be used. Locking mechanisms for locking one extension to another internal extension may comprise a spring-loaded ball and associated orifice or extensions having larger or smaller diameters at ends with rough surfaces so the extensions lock into place by friction when used or comprise twisting grooves on the surfaces of two extensions. In one embodiment, the foot and toe washer is preferably made of strong, light-weight plastic or hard, tough rubber and may have a rubber-coated handle with the extensions extending therefrom as desired. The furthest extension from the handle may have a connecting and locking mechanism of the spring-loaded ball and orifice type or the friction type to connect one of a sponge, a between-the-toes washer, a brush or wash cloth or combination thereof. The sponge may have an associated soap or medicated soap dispenser for treating athlete's foot. The handle end may comprise a lanyard for hanging the foot and toe washer in a shower or locker or a wristlet for carrying the foot and toe washer in the shower.

Claim (Index 12):
A foot and toe washer comprising:\n a hollow circular handle housing portion having a coated grip, a retention clip, and one of a lanyard and wristlet for use with the retention clip, a hollow circular extendible handle portion located one of integral with or inside the handle housing portion, a hollow circular body comprising an elongated section connectable and located within the hollow circular extendible handle portion, one first hollow circular extension of the hollow circular body being locked into place in an extended position with respect to the hollow circular extendable handle portion by means of friction or twisting such that the circular diameter of the extendible handle portion narrows to approximately equal the circular diameter of the one first hollow circular extension and the one first hollow circular extension and hollow circular extendable handle portion being held together by friction.
