Abstract

The present invention provides a sanitary cleaning device or apparatus that includes a basin, a temperature controller, and a flow controller. The temperature controller supplies water at a predetermined temperature to the flow controller, while the flow controller manages the water flow to a sprayer located in the basin. The present invention also provides a flow controller connected to a transversely-oscillating sprayer and a longitudinally-oscillating sprayer, both located in the basin. Furthermore, a water distributor may be used to divide the flow between the transversely-oscillating sprayer and the longitudinally-oscillating sprayer. A housing may be disposed on the rear portion of the rim of the basin to house the temperature controller, the flow controller, and the water distributor. The present invention may also include a cover for the basin and a sitting ring for the basin rim.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A cleaning device, said device comprising: 
 a basin,    a temperature controller connected to a hot water supply and a cold water supply,    a flow controller connected to said temperature controller, said temperature controller supplying water to said flow controller at a specified temperature, and    at least one sprayer located in said basin and connected to said flow controller.    
   
   
       2 . The cleaning device according to  claim 1 , wherein said flow controller comprises: 
 a valve casing with a casing bore, and    a central flow controller with a flow bore, said central flow controller moving within the casing bore of said valve casing, and changing an area of overlap between said flow bore and said casing bore to adjust water flow.    
   
   
       3 . The cleaning device according to  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 a housing disposed at the rear of said basin, having at least one receiving hole therethrough, and holding said flow controller and said temperature controller therein.    
   
   
       4 . The cleaning device according to  claim 3 , said housing further comprising: 
 a cold water passage therein connected to said cold water supply, and    a hot water passage therein connected to said hot water supply.    
   
   
       5 . The cleaning device according to  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 a first check valve at a first interface with said cold water supply, and    a second check valve at a second interface with said hot water supply.    
   
   
       6 . The cleaning device according to  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 a cover for said basin, and    a sitting ring across the rim of said basin.    
   
   
       7 . A cleaning device, said device comprising: 
 a basin,    a flow controller connected to a water supply,    a transversely-oscillating sprayer located in a first transverse position within said basin and connected to said flow controller, and    a longitudinally-oscillating sprayer located in a second longitudinal position within said basin and connected to said flow controller, the outward flow of water through said sprayers being user adjustable.    
   
   
       8 . The cleaning device according to  claim 7 , further comprising: 
 a distributor valve,    a distributor valve casing, and    a distributor controller connected to said distributor valve through said distributor valve casing, said distributor controller adjusting water flow in a water passage between said transversely-oscillating sprayer and said longitudinally-oscillating sprayer.    
   
   
       9 . The cleaning device according to  claim 8 , wherein said distributor valve has a hexagonally-shaped end with an upper salient and a lower salient, said hexagonally-shaped end moving in said water passage to adjust water flow between said transversely-oscillating sprayer and said longitudinally-oscillating sprayer.  
   
   
       10 . The cleaning device according to  claim 7 , wherein said flow controller comprises: 
 a valve casing with a casing bore, and    a central flow controller with a flow bore, said central flow controller moving within the casing bore of said valve casing, and changing an area of overlap between said flow bore and said casing bore to adjust water flow.    
   
   
       11 . The cleaning device according to  claim 7 , further comprising: 
 a housing disposed at the rear of said basin, with a receiving hole therein holding said flow controller.    
   
   
       12 . The cleaning device according to  claim 7 , further comprising: 
 a housing disposed at the rear of said basin, having a receiving hole therein connecting a first water output conduit from said flow controller to said transversely-oscillating sprayer and a second water output conduit from said flow controller to said longitudinally-oscillating sprayer.    
   
   
       13 . The cleaning device according to  claim 7 , further comprising: 
 a cover for said basin, and    a sitting ring across the rim of said basin.    
   
   
       14 . A sprayer device for use in a cleaning device, said sprayer device comprising: 
 a transversely-oscillating sprayer in a first transverse position within said cleaning device,    a longitudinally-oscillating sprayer in a second longitudinal position within said cleaning device, and    a water distributor adjusting water flow between said transversely-oscillating sprayer and said longitudinally-oscillating sprayer, the outward flow of water through said sprayers being user adjustable.    
   
   
       15 . The sprayer device according to  claim 14 , wherein said water distributor comprises: 
 a distributor valve,    a distributor valve casing, and    a distributor controller connected to said distributor valve through said distributor valve casing, said distributor controller adjusting water flow in a water passage between said transversely-oscillating sprayer and said longitudinally-oscillating sprayer.    
   
   
       16 . The sprayer device according to  claim 15 , wherein said distributor valve has a hexagonally-shaped end with an upper salient and a lower salient, said hexagonally-shaped end moving in said water passage to adjust water flow between said transversely-oscillating sprayer and said longitudinally-oscillating sprayer.
