Power scrubber

Abstract

A scrubbing device has a scrubbing head with a cleaning member rotatably coupled to an electrical motor within the scrubbing head. A support member is coupled with the scrubbing head and a handle. The handle includes a switch for activating the electric motor. A first fluid source is coupled with the scrubbing head for spraying a first fluid on a surface to be cleaned. A second fluid source is coupled with the scrubbing head to spray a second fluid on the surface to be cleaned.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A scrubbing device comprising: 
 a scrubbing head including a cleaning member and an electrical motor driving said cleaning member;    a support member coupled with said scrubbing head;    a handle coupled with said support member;    a switch for activating said electric motor,    a first fluid source coupled with said scrubbing head for spraying a first fluid on a surface to be cleaned;    a second fluid source coupled with said scrubbing head for spraying a second fluid on the surface to be cleaned.    
     
     
         2 . The scrubbing device according to  claim 1  wherein said scrubbing head is submersible into a liquid.  
     
     
         3 . The scrubbing device according to  claim 1  wherein said handle includes an aperture for receiving a battery.  
     
     
         4 . The scrubbing device according to  claim 1  wherein a fluid reservoir is coupled with said support member.  
     
     
         5 . The scrubbing device according to  claim 4  wherein a fluid line couples said fluid reservoir in said second fluid source coupled with said scrubbing head.  
     
     
         6 . The scrubbing device according to  claim 1  wherein a hose is coupled with said first fluid source.  
     
     
         7 . The scrubbing device according to  claim 6  wherein said first fluid source includes a fluid line extending from said handle to said scrubbing head.  
     
     
         8 . The scrubbing device according to  claim 1  wherein said first and second fluid sources each include a nozzle on said scrubbing head.  
     
     
         9 . The scrubbing device according to  claim 6  wherein said handle includes a hose receiving member and a hose retention member.  
     
     
         10 . The scrubbing device according to  claim 1  wherein a pivot locking mechanism couples said support with said scrubbing head, said pivot locking mechanism enabling locking of the scrubbing head with respect to the support in a first position and enabling free motion of the scrubbing head with respect to the support in a second position.  
     
     
         11 . The scrubbing device according to  claim 1  wherein said support is a telescoping support.  
     
     
         12 . The scrubbing device according to  claim 1  wherein said cleaning mechanism includes a retention member having a bore and a flange projecting from a wall of said bore for coupling with a groove in a motor shaft.  
     
     
         13 . The scrubbing device according to  claim 12  wherein said wall is divided into sections forming at least one finger having said flange for retaining said cleaning member.  
     
     
         14 . The scrubbing device according to  claim 1  wherein said scrubbing head including a housing for receiving a portion of said first and second fluid sources.  
     
     
         15 . The scrubbing device according to  claim 1  wherein a pump and switch are provided in said handle for delivering a fluid through said second fluid source.  
     
     
         16 . The scrubbing device according to  claim 15  wherein said pump is coupled with said reservoir for spraying said second fluid onto the surface.  
     
     
         17 . The scrubbing device according to  claim 10  wherein said pivot locking mechanism includes a stop for contacting said support for limiting rotational movement of said support with respect to said scrubbing head.
