ABSTRACT:
An apparatus of the type designed to be mounted in a shower stall. The apparatus includes a rotatably mounted brush member that oscillates in a vertical plane or a horizontal plane depending upon the selection chosen by the user of the invention. Water is diverted from the shower head to rotate a water wheel that is enclosed within a housing, the rotation of the water wheel effecting rotation of the brush. The brush is provided with a first gear that is forced to travel along a second gear that forms an elongated oval configuration so that the brush travels either up or down or sideways depending upon the alignment of the elongate second gear. The elongate second gear is mounted about its periphery by a plurality of spring members, the spring members being employed to introduce play into the apparatus to facilitate the orbiting of the second gear by the first gear.
