ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an attachment for a rotatable device for washing, cleaning, massaging, etc.
Devices of the above mentioned general type are known in the art. It is advisable to further improve the existing devices so that various attachments can be attached to them easily and provide efficient washing, cleaning, massaging, etc.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, it is an object of present invention to provide an attachment element for a rotatable device for washing, cleaning, massaging, and the like which is a further improvement of the existing devices.
In keeping with these objects and with others which will become apparent hereinafter, one feature of present invention resides, briefly stated, in an attachment element having an axis and including a substantially cylindrical portion which is open at one side and engageable with the water driven rotatable device, an intermediate portion provided with a plurality of passages for passing of water there through, and a tail portion located opposite to said substantially cylindrical portion; and a plurality of inserts each connectable with said tail portion of said attachment element, each of said inserts having a holding portion attachable to said tail portion of said attachment element and a working portion connected with said holding portion and arranged so that water passing through said throughgoing passages of said intermediate portion of said attachment elements acts on said working portion.
When the attachment is designed in accordance with the present invention, various inserts can be interchangeably attached to the same fluid-driven rotatable device while performing corresponding operations.
The novel features which are considered as characteristic for the present invention are set forth in particular in the appended claims. The invention itself, however, both as to its construction and its method of operation, together with additional objects and advantages thereof, will be best understood from the following description of specific embodiments when read in connection with the accompanying drawings.
