Abstract: A cleansing device for use in a substantially erect attitude, the device having a housing with a grasping portion and a cleansing portion and a passage extending through the housing interconnecting the grasping and cleansing portions; a conduit mounted on the grasping portion of the housing having a distal end portion adapted to be connected to a source of liquid for transfer of liquid from the source through the conduit and into the passage of the housing; and a liquid absorbent element affixed on the cleansing portion of the housing in communication with the passage and facing in an upward direction when the housing is held in a substantially erect attitude with the cleansing portion higher than the grasping portion.

Abstract: The washing of domestic animals, particularly pets, is facilitated by the brush of the present invention which has reservoirs for animal grooming aids such as soap and cream rinse and a hose connected water supply for applying and removing the grooming aids. The reservoirs are maintained under positive pressure by connection to a back pressure chamber in the head of the brush, finger control valves introduce the grooming aids into a mixing chamber and the mixing chamber is also connected to the back pressure chamber. Vortex generators in the mixing chamber mix together the incoming water and the grooming aids and expel the mixture through holes in the brush at the base of the bristles.

Abstract: This invention consists of a device for washing and rinsing any items from small dishes to large cars. It is made up of a hollow cylindrical body having a long neck at the front thereof which terminates into a hollow circular perforated chamber which forms the back of a circular brush. Totally enclosed in the cylinder body is a central narrow pipe the rear end of which extends beyond the body for attachment to a water supply hose; while the front end of said pipe extends beyond the said brush chamber. The pipe has a constricted area for increasing the water velocity; a pinhole in its wall to feed water slowly in the body and around the said pipe; and a slightly perforated front end located within the brush.

Abstract: The main disclosure herein relates to a manually-operated washing device, particularly but not necessarily for automotive vehicles, which includes an attachable portion that can be quickly clamped to the wand of a coin-operated car-wash unit for enabling a car-owner to wash his car manually in a unique procedure in less than ten minutes with all dirt removed and the least scratching of any wash. The car-wash device includes novel clamping mechanism and other means to enable quick attachment of the attachable portion to the wand while accommodating almost all shapes thereof now in service. A separate garden-hose wand can be included in the device, so the attachable portion can be clamped thereto for performing the fast but excellent car-wash at home (at no cost) exactly as at the coin-wash.
