  • Patent number: 5316401
    Abstract: A scrubber attachment for spray nozzles or sprayer heads provides for the offset attachment of the scrubber portion from the spray nozzle. The attachment may be easily and quickly installed on existing spray nozzles in order to provide for mechanical scrubbing of dishes and other utensils, in addition to the water spray provided by the spray nozzle. As the scrubber portion is radially offset from and does not completely surround the outflow of the nozzle, the scrubber can be made of relatively dense, firm and semi-porous material in order to achieve better scrubbing action than would be attained by the standard concentric brush or sponge with which such spray nozzles are generally equipped.
