Abstract
A cloth or rag washing bucket has a container with an interior volume defined by a bottom and a wall extending upwardly from the bottom, a fluid inlet affixed adjacent the bottom of the container, a fluid outlet formed on the container at a level above the level of the fluid inlet. The inlet is adapted to be connected to a water hose. The fluid inlet extends through the wall of the container so as to have one end in the interior volume of the container and another end exterior of the wall of the container. The fluid outlet is adapted to allow water in the interior volume of the container to flow outwardly of the container.
Claims15
A cloth or rag washing bucket comprising:
- a container having an interior volume defined by a bottom and a wall extending upwardly from the bottom, said container having an upper edge opposite the bottom, the interior volume adapted to receive the cloth or rag therein;
- a fluid inlet affixed to the wall of said container adjacent to the bottom of said container, said fluid inlet adapted to be connected to a water hose, said fluid inlet extending through the wall of the container so as to have one end in the interior volume of said container and another end exterior of the wall of said container, said fluid inlet communicating with the interior volume of said container, said fluid inlet comprising:
- a fitting affixed to the wall of said container, said fitting having a hose connector on an end exterior of the wall and a nozzle at the end in the interior volume of said container, wherein the nozzle has a slot with a length dimension extending parallel to the bottom of said container and a width dimension extending transverse to the bottom of said container, the length dimension of the slot being substantially greater than the width dimension of the slot, wherein said fluid inlet passes pressurized water into the interior volume of said container such that the cloth or rag is washed solely by the flow of the pressurized water into said container;
- and
- a fluid outlet formed on said container at a level above a level of the fluid inlet so as to open through the wall of said container, said fluid outlet adapted to allow water in the interior volume of said container to flow outwardly of said container, the level of said fluid outlet positioned below a lowest level of the upper edge of said container.
