| 摘要 | Apparatus for drying the areas between the toes of the feet, comprising a base and an upstanding wall disposed at one end of the base. The base has the imprint or outline of the left and right foot of a person indicated on the upper surface thereof. The heel portion of each foot imprint preferably is recessed, and a slightly upwardly curved arch portion is provided. At the ball portion of each foot imprint, a recess is provided for the purpose of accommodating a pumice stone or the like which can be used for honing calluses, bunions or other rough dead skin on the feet. The upstanding wall comprises a set of four inwardly extending ribs which preferably extend from the upper portion of the upstanding wall to a point spaced above the base. The spacing for each set of four ribs is commensurate with the average spacing between a person''s toes, with the width of each rib being approximately the same as the spacing between the toes. Owing to the different lengths and offsetting of the toes of each foot, the ribs of each set are of progressively greater depths extending from the big toe to the little toe of each foot. A moisture absorbing cover is removably positioned over the upstanding wall and ribs to facilitate the drying of the areas between the toes of each foot when they are positioned between the ribs and moved upwardly and downwardly relative thereto. | ||||||
| 权利要求 | 1. A foot drying apparatus, comprising: a base for receiving a person''s feet thereon; an upstanding wall connected to one end of said base, said wall having a plurality of upstanding, laterally spaced ribs which extend inwardly over said base and are adapted to receive a person''s toes therebetween; and a water absorbing cover removably received on said wall and extending over said ribs to effect drying of the areas between the toes positioned between siad ribs. 2. The foot drying apparatus of claim 1 wherein said wall comprises two sets of four of said ribs, one set for the right foot and the other set for the left foot. 3. The foot drying apparatus of claim 2 wherein the ribs of each set are laterally spaced in accordance with the average spacing between the toes of a person''s foot, and wherein said wall is substantially straight and the ribs of each set extend inwardly progressively farther from the big toe portion towards the little toe portion thereof. 4. The foot drying apparatus of claim 2 wherein the ribs of each set are laterally spaced in accordance with the spacing between the toes of a person''s foot, and wherein said wall is curved inwardly from the center thereof toward the sides of said base and the ribs of each set extend inwardly approximately an equal amount. 5. The foot drying apparatus of claim 1 wherein said wall is substantially perpendicular to said base. 6. The foot drying apparatus of claim 1 wherein said base and said wall are molded in one piece of a plastic material. 7. The foot drying apparatus of claim 1 wherein said base has indicated thereon the outlines of right and left feet, each foot outline comprises a recessed heel portion, a curved arch portion and a recess in the ball portion thereof, and an abrading stone is removably positioned in said recess and extends slightly above the adjacent upper surface of said base. 8. The foot drying apparatus of claim 7 wherein said wall comprises two sets of four of said ribs, one set being adjacent said right foot outline and the other set being adjacent said left foot outline on said base. 9. The foot drying apparatus of claiM 8 wherein the ribs of each set are laterally spaced in accordance with the average spacing between the toes of a person''s foot, and wherein said wall is substantially straight and the ribs of each set extend inwardly progressively farther from the big toe portion thereof toward the little toe portion thereof. 10. The foot drying apparatus of claim 8 wherein the ribs of each set are laterally spaced in accordance with the average spacing between the toes of a person''s foot, and wherein said wall is curved inwardly from the center thereof toward the sides of said base and the ribs of each set extend inwardly approximately an equal amount. 11. The foot drying apparatus of claim 8 wherein the ribs of each set extend inwardly over the toe portion of the adjacent foot outline on said base, and terminate in vertically spaced relation thereto. |
