ABSTRACT:
A denture cleaner powered by a stream of falling water. A first rotary brush is geared to the gear. A second rotary brush is arranged at an angle to the first brush, with the bristles of the two brushes intersecting. The water falls onto a turbine or water wheel, which turns the first brush through a reducing gear. The first brush frictionally or interfittingly drives the second brush. Dentures are placed between the two brushes, and are held in place by the configuration of the cleaning chamber. Two pairs of brushes arranged in this manner are provided for cleaning two sets of dentures simultaneously. The water wheel is arranged selectively to divert a portion of the water stream into the cleaning chamber. A pocket having a perforated wall dispenses a cleaning agent into the cleaning chamber. The denture cleaner is thus independent of power from a manual, electric, or fluid pressure source, and operates without manual assistance from the user.
