Skin removing implement
An implement for removing skin comprised of a handle in the form of a tab with generally curved edges and a skin scraping surface being flat with generally curved edges wherein the handle is in a first plane and the skin scraping surface in a second plane and the first plane is perpendicular to the second plane, and a method for removing undesired skin from skin surfaces using the implement.
1 . An implement for removing skin comprised of a handle in the form of a tab with generally curved edges and a skin scraping surface being flat with generally curved edges wherein the handle is in a first plane and the skin scraping surface in a second plane and the first plane is perpendicular to the second plane.
2 . The implement of claim 1 wherein the skin removed is on the soles of the feet or the elbows.
3 . The implement of claim 1 wherein the tab has generally curved edges.
4 . The implement of claim 1 wherein the tab has sides.
5 . The implement of claim 4 wherein the sides of the tab have a perimeter with an outer portion and wherein the outer portion of the tab forms a loop.
6 . The implement of claim 5 wherein the sides of the tab have an inner portion.
7 . The implement of claim 6 wherein the inner portion forms a straight edge.
8 . The implement of claim 4 wherein the tab has a wall between sides.
9 . The implement of claim 8 wherein the wall separates sides and lies in a plane perpendicular to sides.
10 . The implement of claim 9 wherein the sides have cut outs or protrusions to facilitate gripping.
11 . The implement of claim 1 wherein the skin scraping surface has an upper surface and a lower surface.
12 . The implement of claim 11 wherein the upper surface is attached to a handle.
13 . The implement of claim 11 wherein lower surface contains an embedded razor blade that extrudes from lower surface to a degree sufficient to shave dead or rough skin from the skin surface when lower surface is scraped across skin surface.
14 . The implement of claim 1 wherein tab has protrusions to facilitate gripping by the user.
15 . The implement of claim 1 wherein the tab has an outer portion forming a loop and an inner portion forming a straight edge and straight edge is attached to the scraping surface.
16 . The implement of claim 1 wherein the tab has two sides and a wall in between the sides which is in a plane perpendicular to the sides.
17 . A method for removing undesired skin from skin surfaces comprising abrading the skin from the surface with an implement comprised of a handle in the form of a tab with generally curved edges and a skin scraping surface being flat with generally curved edges wherein the handle is in a first plane and the skin scraping surface in a second plane and the first plane is perpendicular to the second plane.
18 . The method of claim 17 wherein the skin is from the soles of the feet or elbows.
19 . The method of claim 17 wherein the undesired skin is removed from the skin surface by scraping the skin scraping surface against the undesired skin.
20 . The method of claim 17 wherein the tab has protrusions to facilitate gripping by the user.
