FIG. 1 is a side perspective view of a new Skin Rejuvinating System according to the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a side view thereof.
FIG. 3 is a top view of the controller means of the present invention.

Description of the Preferred Embodiment
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 through 6 thereof, a new Skin Rejuvinating System embodying the principles and concepts of the present invention and generally designated by the reference numeral 10 will be described.
More specifically, it will be noted that the Skin Rejuvinating System 10 comprises a motor encasement 20, a motor means 30 secured within the motor encasement 20, a controller means 40 electronically connected to the motor means 30, a power source 26 electronically connected to the controller means 40 and a brushing means 50 rotatably secured to a motor drive shaft 32 of the motor means 30.
As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 4, it can be shown that the controller means 40 includes at least one controller button member 42 which allows the user to vary the speed of the motor means 30 depending on the user's type of skin. The brushing means 50 includes a plurality of bristle members 52 secured to a bristle support member 56 whereby the plurality of bristle members 52 project perpendicular from the bristle support member 56 forming a flat surface opposite of the bristle support member 56 that the user can rotate against his skin as best shown in FIG. 1 of the drawings. A coupling shaft 54 is secured to the center of the bristle support member 56 opposite of the plurality of bristle members 52 where the coupling shaft 54 couples to the motor drive shaft allowing rotation of the brushing means 50 by the motor means 30 when the controller means 40 is manipulated by the user.
As shown in FIG. 5, an alternative brushing means 50 includes an elevated outer bristle ring 62 secured to the bristle support member 56 formed by a plurality of bristle members 52. A lower inner bristle ring 64 is secured to the bristle support member 56 inside of the elevated outer bristle ring 62 where the lower inner bristle ring 64 is lower in height than the elevated outer bristle ring 62. An elevated center bristle cylinder 66 is secured to the bristle support member 56 inside of the lower inner bristle ring 64 where the elevated center bristle cylinder 66 is approximately the same height as the elevated outer bristle ring 62. A coupling shaft 54 is secured to the center of the bristle support member 56 opposite of the plurality of bristle members 52. The end opposite of the bristle support member 56 of the coupling shaft 54 couples to the motor drive shaft 32 allowing the motor means 30 to rotate the brushing means 50 in a circular motion exfoliating the skin.
As shown in FIG. 6, another alternative brushing means 50 includes an arcuate bristle member 72 that has a plurality of bristle members 52 secured to the bristle support member 56. A coupling shaft 54 is secured to the center of the bristle support member 56 opposite of the plurality of bristle members 52. The end of the coupling shaft 54 opposite of the bristle support member 56 couples to the motor drive shaft 32 that rotates the brushing means 50 in a circular motion.
In use, the user engages a controller button member 42 which facilitates the motion of the motor means 30 which rotates the motor drive shaft 32 coupled to the coupling shaft 54 of the brushing means 50 thereby rotating the brushing means 50. While the brushing means 50 is rotating, the user presses the brushing means 50 against the user's skin which exfoliates the skin and removes cellulite. The user is able to adjust the speed of the rotation of the brushing means 50 by simply depressing another controller button member 42 of the desired speed. When the user is finished, he may detach the brushing means 50 thereby allowing him to clean the plurality of bristle members 52 with any cleaning solution. The plurality of bristle members 52 preferably are constructed from a resilient material.
As to a further discussion of the manner of usage and operation of the present invention, the same should be apparent from the above description. Accordingly, no further discussion relating to the manner of usage and operation will be provided.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of the invention, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by the present invention.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the invention. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention.
