Brush device

A rotating brush device comprising:

• a chamber, round in horizontal cross-section, and having a top wall, a bottom wall, and a peripheral side wall joining top and bottom walls;
• a bearing member attached to said top wall, said bearing member having a bearing surface;
• a rotatable tubular member having a flange, said flange resting on said bearing surface so that said rotatable tubular member is mounted for rotation in said chamber;
• at least two tubular arms mounted on said rotatable tubular member for rotation therewith and extending radially outward therefrom for rotation in a substantially horizontal plane in said chamber, said arms each including at least one opening in the walls for discharge of a high velocity stream of water out of a respective tubular arm in a direction to impart rotation of said arms and said rotatable member;
• a weighted baffle located at the outer ends of said tubular arms for defining a flow path directing water into a stream flowing in the direction of the water stream discharged from said orifices and also for increasing the rotational inertia and momentum of said arms;
• said rotatable tubular member forming with each of said tubular arms a conduit for conveying water under pressure through said rotatable tubular member and each of said tubular arms for discharge through said openings in said arms;
• means for securing said brush device to a water faucet;
• conduit means for conveying water under pressure from a faucet to which the device is secureable to said rotatable tubular member;
• water outlet means for removing water from said chamber to permit unobstructed rotation of said horizontal arms in said chamber;
• a rotatable brush mounted on the device for rotation below the bottom wall of said chamber and extending downwardly therefrom;
• and means connecting said rotatable brush means and said rotatable tubular member such that rotation of said rotatable brush member caused by rotation of said tubular arms caused by the flow of a high velocity stream of water through said arm openings effects rotation of said brush.
