Her second patent, U.S.

Patent 3,294,291, was granted in 1966.

This patent covered an improved back washer — specifically, a washcloth holder that could be mounted on a shower wall or tub, allowing a person to wash their own back more effectively than was possible with a regular washcloth.

The device used a moistened cloth attached to a mounted holder that could be used without requiring unusual flexibility or the assistance of another person.

It was a practical, empathetic invention — one that considered the needs of people who lived alone, who had limited mobility, or who simply found back washing with a regular cloth cumbersome.
