Water-powered dish scrubber

A water powered scrubber for use in dishwashing operations and connectable to a source of water under pressure, said scrubber comprising:

• a hollow housing having drain holes in the bottom thereof;
• a hollow flexible hose attached at one end to the housing and detachably secured at the other end to said source;
• trigger operated valve means located in the housing and connected in series with the hose, said means including a nozzle, said means when the trigger is pulled allowing water to flow through the hose into the nozzle, said water being expelled from the nozzle as a jet, said means when the trigger is not pulled blocking the flow of water;
• a first vertical shaft having an upper end in the housing and a lower end projecting downwardly out of the housing;
• said lower end being cubically shaped;
• a brush like attachment disposed outside of the housing below the first shaft, said attachment having two opposed flexible lips detachably engaging the cubically shaped lower end of the first shaft;
• a horizontal gear in the housing secured to the upper end of the first shaft;
• a vertical paddle wheel in the housing disposed in the path of the jet, said jet impinging upon the wheel to cause same to rotate about its center in a vertical plane, the water thereafter draining downward through said holes;
• a second horizontal shaft in the housing disposed at right angles to the wheel, said wheel being secured at its center to one end of the second shaft;
• and
• a horizontal worm at the other end of the second shaft and engaging said gear whereby rotation of the wheel causes rotation of the second shaft, worm, gear, first shaft and attachment.
