Rotatable washing device and attachments provided therefor

Abstract

A rotatable washing device has a holder provided with connecting means; and an attachment provided with counter connecting means which are connectable to the connecting means of the holder to rotate together with the latter, the attachment being formed as an element which allows passage of liquid through the element or around the element, the holding element and the attachment being rotatable by the liquid.

What is claimed as new and desired to be protected by Letters Patent is set forth in the appended claims:  
     
         1 . A rotatable washing device, comprising a holder provided with connecting means; and an attachment provided with counter connecting means which are connectable to said connecting means of said holder to rotate together with the latter, said attachment being formed as an element which allows passage of liquid through said element or around said element, said holding element and said attachment being rotatable by the liquid.  
     
     
         2 . A rotatable washing device as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said connecting means of said holder and said counter connecting means of said attachment are peripheral means selected from the group consisting of peripheral connecting means and central connecting means.  
     
     
         3 . A rotatable washing device as defined in  claim 2 , wherein said connecting means are formed so as to provide a water flow selected from the group consisting of a flow inside said peripheral connecting means and a flow around said central connecting means.  
     
     
         4 . A rotatable washing device as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said element is an element selected from the group consisting of a porous element, a foam-type sponge element and a fiber-type sponge element.  
     
     
         5 . A rotatable washing device as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said element is provided with at least one throughgoing opening.  
     
     
         6 . A rotatable washing device as defined in  claim 3 , wherein said porous element is provided with at least one throughgoing opening.  
     
     
         7 . A rotatable washing device as defined in  claim 6 , wherein said porous element has pores with such a size and a quantity that it provides a rubbing action.  
     
     
         8 . A rotatable washing device as defined in  claim 7 , wherein said pores have such a size and a quantity that it distributes a substance selected from the group consisting of water, soap, medication and cleaning solution in said porous element to provide an efficient washing action.  
     
     
         9 . A rotatable washing device as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said connecting means include a projection means arranged on one of said holder and said attachment and groove means provided on the other of said holder and said attachment.  
     
     
         10 . A rotatable device as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said connecting formation is solid, while said holder has a front wall provided with said plurality of openings.  
     
     
         11 . A rotatable device as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said connecting formation and said connecting counter formation are hollow so as to form throughgoing passages said element being liquid permeable.  
     
     
         12 . A rotatable device as defined in  claim 2 , wherein said element is provided with a plurality of bundles of bristles extending in a direction selected from the group consisting of an axial direction and a radial direction.  
     
     
         13 . A rotatable device as defined in  claim 2 , wherein said element is provided with a plurality of rod-shaped projections.  
     
     
         14 . A rotatable device as defined in  claim 2 , wherein said element has a holding portion, and a plurality of working formations extending from said holding portion.  
     
     
         15 . A rotatable device as defined in  claim 14 , wherein said holding portion is yieldable in an axial direction.  
     
     
         16 . A rotatable device as defined in  claim 14 , wherein said holding portion is provided with a plurality of throughgoing holes.  
     
     
         17 . A rotatable device as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said holder is attachable to a water source to be water powered.  
     
     
         18 . A rotatable device as defined in  claim 2 , wherein said holder is attachable to a water powered.  
     
     
         19 . A rotatable device as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said holder is composed of a soft, flexible plastic material which allows said holder to bend so as to better maintain a contact of said attachment with a surface to be cleaned,.  
     
     
         20 . A rotatable device as defined in  claim 1  wherein said working element is composed of a rigid fiber pad with pores.  
     
     
         21 . A rotatable device as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said element is composed of a loofah pad.
