Sink spray scrubber

Abstract

A scrubber readily attachable to and detachable from the nozzle of a sink sprayer is capable of utilizing a variety of scrubbing implements. Scrubbing implements may be attached directly to the sprayer nozzle by an elastic sleeve or collar and disposed of after a number of uses. Alternatively, different scrubbing implements may be interchanged by connecting them to an attachment element which remains affixed to the sprayer nozzle.

1 . A scrubber attachable to a nozzle of a sink sprayer, said scrubber comprising:. 
 (a) an attachment element comprising an attachment means for fastening the scrubber to the sink sprayer nozzle, which attachment means comprises an expandable elastic sleeve sized to slip over the sink sprayer nozzle in a secure and water-tight manner; and    (b) a scrubbing element integrally joined to the front of the attachment element, said scrubbing element comprising a scrubbing implement, through which water spray from the sink sprayer nozzle passes, and whereby an object is washed by the combined actions of the scrubbing implement and the water spray on the surface of the object.    
   
   
       2 . The scrubber according to  claim 1 , wherein the scrubbing implement is pre-impregnated with a cleansing agent, such as soap or dish detergent.  
   
   
       3 . The scrubber according to  claim 1 , wherein the scrubbing implement contains one or more perforations enabling one or more high pressure streams of water to pass from the sink sprayer nozzle directly to the surface of the object being washed.  
   
   
       4 . The scrubber according to  claim 2 , wherein the scrubbing implement contains one or more perforations enabling one or more high pressure streams of water to pass from the sink sprayer nozzle directly to the surface of the object being washed.  
   
   
       5 . The scrubber according to any of claims  1  through  4 , wherein the scrubbing implement incorporates an ornamental design.  
   
   
       6 . The scrubber according to any of claims  1  through  4 , wherein the scrubbing implement is designed for a specific cleaning application, insofar as it is sized and/or configured to clean optimally a particular type of object.  
   
   
       7 . The scrubber according to  claim 5 , wherein the scrubber is disposable, thereby enabling the user to switch readily between assorted scrubbing implements designed for different cleaning applications.  
   
   
       8 . A scrubber attachable to a nozzle of a sink sprayer, said scrubber comprising: 
 (a) an attachment element comprising, (i) an attachment means for fastening the scrubber to the sink sprayer nozzle, which attachment means comprises an expandable elastic sleeve sized to slip over the sink sprayer nozzle in a secure and water-tight manner, and (ii) an open end opposite the attachment means, said open end containing a first connecting means;    (b) a scrubbing element connectible to the attachment element through a second connecting means which fits into or over the first connecting means so as to form a water-tight seal, said scrubbing element comprising a scrubbing implement, through which water spray from the sink sprayer nozzle passes, and whereby an object is washed by the combined actions of the scrubbing implement and the water spray on the surface of the object.    
   
   
       9 . The scrubber according to  claim 8 , wherein the scrubbing implement is pre-impregnated with a cleansing agent, soap or dish detergent.  
   
   
       10 . The scrubber according to  claim 8 , wherein the scrubbing implement contains one or more perforations enabling one or more high pressure sprays of water to pass from the sink sprayer nozzle directly to the surface of the object being washed.  
   
   
       11 . The scrubber according to  claim 9 , wherein the scrubbing implement contains one or more perforations enabling one or more high pressure sprays of water to pass from the sink sprayer nozzle directly to the surface of the object being washed.  
   
   
       12 . The scrubber according to any of claims  8  through  11 , wherein the scrubbing implement incorporates an ornamental design.  
   
   
       13 . The scrubber according to any of claims  8  through  11 , wherein the scrubbing implement is designed for a specific cleaning application, insofar as it is sized and/or configured to clean optimally a particular type of object.  
   
   
       14 . The scrubber according to  claim 13 , wherein the scrubber is disposable, thereby enabling the user to switch readily between assorted scrubbing implements designed for different cleaning applications.
