A foam bathing apparatus comprising a main body including a blower, a container mounted on the main body for containing a bath and a porous body disposed at an inner bottom portion of the container. Air from the blower is passed through the porous body to produce numerous air bubbles in the bath for the user to immerse the face or the like in the bath for cleansing or massaging. The apparatus includes a pressure chamber provided within the main body and positioned downstream from the blower in proximity thereto, the pressure chamber being provided with a pressure adjusting assembly comprising, for example, a pressure adjusting aperture and a shutter for opening or closing the aperture for smooth and fine adjustment of the amount of air bubbles to be produced. The apparatus is usable also for cleansing or massaging other part of the human body, such as the hand, elbow or foot.

Foam bathing apparatus

For use in a food processor comprising a power unit having a drive shaft, a removable receptacle including a container and a lid having a feed chute communicable to the interior of the receptacle when mounted on the container, and a rotary treating element rotatable within the receptacle together with the drive shaft, a tilt preventing element for preventing a food material inserted into the feed chute from being tilted sideways which comprises an elastic retainer member including a plurality of long elastic tines and a corresponding number of short elastic tines. The long and short tines are curved so that, when the elastic retainer member is removably mounted on the open end of the feed chute opposite to the container, they extend downwardly in the feed chute and diverge outwardly from the surrounding wall defining the feed chute.
