Scrubber device and cleansing system

Abstract

A device includes a central body having an array of scrubbing features that extend away from a first surface of the central body. The array of scrubbing features is arranged in wave-shaped pathways extending radially from a first end of the pathways at an interior of the central body toward a second end of the pathways at a periphery of the central body. The array of scrubbing features includes a first set of scrubbing features extending a first height away from the first surface and a second set of scrubbing features extending a second height away from the first surface. The device has a unitary structure made of silicone and infused with an antimicrobial agent. The device is configured to be more durable and have a longer use time than conventional bath and shower devices thereby mitigating climate change.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A scrubber device comprising:
 a base that extends radially from an interior of the scrubber device,
 wherein the base has a first height; and 
   a set of bristles on an edge of the base,
 wherein the set of bristles have a second height less than the first height, and 
 wherein the base and the set of bristles are infused with an antimicrobial agent and form a unitary structure made of silicone. 
   
     
     
         2 . The scrubber device of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the antimicrobial agent includes silver, a silver compound, zinc, or a zinc compound.   
     
     
         3 . The scrubber device of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a first side of the base;   a second side of the base; and   a set of ridges on both the first side and the second side of the base, the set of ridges extending the first height.   
     
     
         4 . The scrubber device of  claim 1 , wherein the base is a first base and the set of bristles is a first set of bristles, the scrubber device further comprising:
 a surface on which the first base is disposed;   a second base disposed on the surface and extending radially from the interior of the scrubber device; and   a second set of bristles on an edge of the second base,
 wherein a first distance from a top of the first set of bristles to the surface is greater than a second distance from a top of the second set of bristles to the surface. 
   
     
     
         5 . The scrubber device of  claim 4 , further comprising:
 an alternating pattern of scrubbing elements on the surface of the scrubber device,
 wherein each scrubbing element includes the first or second base and the first or second set of bristles. 
   
     
     
         6 . The scrubber device of  claim 4 ,
 wherein the first base extends from a first reference boundary at the interior of the scrubber device, and   wherein the second base extends from a second reference boundary at the interior of the scrubber device, the second reference boundary being different from the first reference boundary.   
     
     
         7 . The scrubber device of  claim 4 ,
 wherein the second set of bristles have a length equal to the first set of bristles.   
     
     
         8 . The scrubber device of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the base has at least one rounded end at an interior of the scrubber device or at a periphery of the scrubber device.   
     
     
         9 . The scrubber device of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the scrubber device defines an outermost edge having an polygonal shape.   
     
     
         10 . The scrubber device of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a raised edge at a periphery the scrubber device.   
     
     
         11 . A scrubber device comprising:
 a body having a surface;   a first fin that extends along the surface of the body, at least a first portion of the first fin having a first height from the surface of the body;   a second fin that extends along the surface of the body, at least a second portion of the second fin having a second height from the surface of the body,
 wherein the second height is different from the first height; 
   a first set of bristles on an edge of the first fin and extending away from the surface,   a second set of bristles on an edge of the second fin and extending away from the surface,
 wherein the body, the first fin, the second fin, the first set of bristles, and the second set of bristles form a unitary structure made of silicone. 
   
     
     
         12 . The scrubber device of  claim 11 ,
 wherein the first set of bristles has a third height extending from the edge of the first fin and the second set of bristles has the third height extending from the edge of the second fin.   
     
     
         13 . The scrubber device of  claim 11 ,
 wherein a second portion of the first fin has a third height, different from the first height, from the surface of the body, and   wherein a second portion of the second fin has a fourth height, different from the second height, from the surface of the body.   
     
     
         14 . The scrubber device of  claim 11 ,
 wherein the body, the fin, and the set of bristles are infused with an antimicrobial, antifungal, and/or antifouling agent.   
     
     
         15 . The scrubber device of  claim 14 ,
 wherein the antimicrobial, antifungal, and/or antifouling agent includes silver, a silver compound, zinc, or a zinc compound.   
     
     
         16 . The scrubber device of  claim 11 ,
 wherein each of the first set of bristles and the second set of bristles is arranged in a single pathway extending from an interior of the body toward a periphery of the body.   
     
     
         17 . The scrubber device of  claim 16 ,
 wherein each pathway of the first set of bristles and the second set of bristles is curved.   
     
     
         18 . The scrubber device of  claim 11 ,
