Itch is a sensation that causes the desire or reflex to scratch. Itch has resisted many attempts to be classified as any one type of sensory experience. Itch has many similarities to pain, and while both are unpleasant sensory experiences, their behavioral response patterns are different. Pain creates a withdrawal reflex, whereas itch leads to a scratch reflex. There have been no products available as original equipment or as an aftermarket to address this problem.
Oftentimes people have an itch on a part of their body which is difficult to reach. This is a problem that can be solved in a variety of ways, with differing effectiveness. Regardless of the exact solution, a textured object must come in contact with the bodily location to relieve the itch. There have been no products available as original equipment or as an aftermarket to address this problem either.
There exists a need for a scratch device that is not being met by any known or disclosed device or system of present.
The scratch panel is a wall-mounting panel to relieve itching in particularly difficult to reach locations, such as the back. The scratch panel utilizes artificial turf and sand paper like scrolling material to be the textured surface upon which the body may be scratched. Since the panel is wall-mounted, no hands are necessary to relieve bothersome itches. The panel holds adjustable rollers that stretch the artificial turf or sand paper, etc. The adjustable rollers allow the user to use different parts of the turf and sand paper and replace said turf when necessary.
A scratching device as disclosed includes a scrollable abrasive material stretched across a first scroll and a second scroll wherein the scrolls each lock to fix the scrollable abrasive material in a fixed relation thereto. A holder of the first and the second scrolls receives the scrolls in a rotating relation and provides a grip for a user and defines mounting holes to a wall or a piece of furniture.
