    l DK 2019 00452 A1FOOT FILE DEVICE
    TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The invention disclosed herein generally relates to a personal hygiene device. More particularly, the present invention relates to a personal hygiene device used for personal care to maintain skin, feet, and cracked heels smooth and clean by removing rough and dead skin.
    BACKGROUND Foot files are used for cracked heels that could take care of any unwanted texture. Dry and itchy skin often comes with weather changes. Feet are particularly susceptible to cracked, painful skin since they tend to dry out when taking hot showers or — wear socks and uncomfortable shoes. Regular use of the foot file could help to keep the feet smooth and pleasant, and it could reduce discomfort from oversized calluses. The foot file device comprises a rasp, file or plane attached to the end of a handle such that the user could hold one end of the device and rub the other end across the area of skin that is to be removed.
    However, the existing foot file devices do not desirably conform to complexly curved skin contours, such as at the heel. The existing foot file devices are inconvenient and lack to provide comfort for the user while using to remove the rough and dead skin from the user's feet. The existing foot file devices provide less in flexibility and smoothing out the cracked heels on the feet. Further, the existing foot file devices are expensive and they could not be replaced with a new gritty exfoliating material like metal or emery paper after using several times. Further, existing foot file is manufactured with glued-on or adhesive smear or coatings. A possible solution for re-using the existing foot file is done by halving the
    , DK 2019 00452 A1 adhesiveness of the glued-on smear, where it has to be removed before the handle to be autoclaved for sterilization and for application of new smear. However, this solution still proves to be provided with an opportunity for infectious microorganisms, not limited to fungal spore, growth and activity that may lead to the health hazard for the users.
    In the light of above-mentioned problems, it needs to provide a reusable or single-use foot file device with replaceable abrasive paper or foot sponge for personal care and hygiene to maintain skin, feet, and cracked heels smooth and clean by removing rough and dead skin by the user while maintaining a comfortable contact with the foot. It is also a need to provide a flexible foot file device for smoothing out the cracks in the feet. It is also a need to provide an inexpensive foot file device for using multiple times by positioning new gritty exfoliating material.
    SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION This summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified form that are further disclosed in the detailed description of the invention. This summary is not intended to identify key or essential inventive concepts of the claimed subject matter, nor is it intended for determining the scope of the claimed subject matter.
    The present invention relates to a personal hygiene device used for personal care to maintain skin, feet, and cracked heels smooth and clean by removing rough and dead skin.

In one embodiment, the locking member includes extension portions. The extension portions are configured to tightly lock an abrasive paper to the first and second slots when the locking member is twisted back.
    In one embodiment, the device includes at least two slots. In one embodiment, a first slot is provided on the tip portion of the elongated member and a second slot is provided on the locking member. the first and second slots are configured to detachably hold first and second ends of an abrasive paper, thereby safely exfoliating the rough and dead skin via a gridding surface of the abrasive paper by a user while maintaining a comfortable contact with the user's skin and easily changes the abrasive paper when worn out.
    Other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description. It should be understood, however, that the detailed description and the specific examples, while indicating specific embodiments of the invention, are given by way of illustration only, since various changes and modifications within the spirit and scope of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from this detailed description.
