Abstract
Abstract A toy wash, which is preferably built by means of elements from a toy building set, comprises, in a preferred embodiment, two brush assemblies (6,7) comprising a cylindrical brush which is rotatably journalled in a bracket (9) which is journalled pivotably about a vertical axis. An elastic connector (15,16) is connected between respective brackets and a pair of carrier beams (3,4), thus providing at the same time biasing of the brush assemblies with a spring force which acts on the assemblies in a direction toward a front beam (5), and the connectors (15, 16) are also so constructed that they resemble the hose and cable connections which are present in a real life wash between its frame and brushes.
