Abstract
Abstract A housing has an inlet opening and a plurality of mutually spaced outlet openings spaced from the inlet opening. The housing has watertight ducts extending from the inlet opening to the outlet openings whereby water under pressure supplied to the inlet opening is provided at the outlet openings. A brush is rotatably mounted on the housing at the outlet openings in a manner whereby water from the outlet openings is provided around the brush. A hydro motor in the housing is coupled to the brush whereby a flow of water through the ducts rotates the hydro motor and thereby rotates the brush.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
186 words
A rotary washing brush shower device, comprising a housing having an inlet opening and a plurality of mutually spaced outlet openings spaced from the inlet opening, said housing having watertight duct means extending from the inlet opening to the outlet openings whereby water under pressure supplied to the inlet opening is provided at the outlet openings; a brush having a hollow shaft rotatably mounted on the housing at the outlet openings in a manner whereby water from the outlet openings is provided around the brush, said hollow shaft being removably mounted in the housing; a watertight compartment in the housing having an inlet opening in communication with the duct means extending from the housing inlet opening and an outlet communicating with the duct means extending to the housing outlet openings; hydro motor means in the watertight compartment in the housing at the inlet opening and coupled to the brush whereby a flow of water through the duct means rotates the hydro motor means and thereby rotates the brush; and a flywheel mounted on the hollow shaft and rotatable therewith for continuing the rotation of said shaft.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
186 words
A rotary washing brush shower device, comprising a housing having an inlet opening and a plurality of mutually spaced outlet openings spaced from the inlet opening, said housing having watertight duct means extending from the inlet opening to the outlet openings whereby water under pressure supplied to the inlet opening is provided at the outlet openings; a brush having a hollow shaft rotatably mounted on the housing at the outlet openings in a manner whereby water from the outlet openings is provided around the brush, said hollow shaft being removably mounted in the housing; a watertight compartment in the housing having an inlet opening in communication with the duct means extending from the housing inlet opening and an outlet communicating with the duct means extending to the housing outlet openings; hydro motor means in the watertight compartment in the housing at the inlet opening and coupled to the brush whereby a flow of water through the duct means rotates the hydro motor means and thereby rotates the brush; and a flywheel mounted on the hollow shaft and rotatable therewith for continuing the rotation of said shaft.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
96 words
A rotary washing brush shower device as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a soap container of liquid soap, soap duct means extending through the housing between the watertight duct means and the soap container and extending from the soap container to the brush, and soap valve means in the soap duct means between the soap container and the watertight duct means, said soap valve means being controllable from outside the housing for controlling the flow of water into the soap container and the water and soap mixture out of the soap container at the brush.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
38 words
A rotary washing brush shower device as claimed in claim 1, further comprising water flow control valve means in the duct means controllable from outside the housing for controlling the pressure of water provided at the outlet openings.
