Rotating sponge and spout system with shower coupling

A shower accessory system for dispensing soapy water through a sponge while showering for increased cleanliness and convenience comprising, in combination:

• a coupler formed in a hollow generally hemispherically shaped configuration adapted-to be removably coupled to a shower head, the coupler having a opening to receive water from the shower head and a opening to dispense water therefrom;
• a flexible tube of an extended length with an input end coupled to the opening of the coupler and an output end adapted to convey water there through from the input end to the output end along a path of travel;
• a housing having a central component with a sidewall in a generally cylindrical configuration, the central component being formed with a central chamber having an input region coupled to the output end of the tube and an output region in the shape of a spout with an upturned bend adjacent to its midpoint, the central component having a circular upper opening in the top and a circular lower opening in the bottom with a water wheel mounted in the upper openings for rotation about an axis perpendicular to the path of travel of the water and for being propelled by a flow of water through the central component, the central component also having a rigid handle between the sidewall and the tube with a Z-shaped bend adjacent to its midpoint, a slide valve extending through and across the handle adjacent to the midpoint with a first and second aperture there through, the handle having a vertical divider between the valve and the water wheel to selectively direct water to one side of the water wheel or the other for thereby allowing the water wheel to change its direction of rotation;
• an upper component of the housing having a sidewall in a generally rectilinear configuration with an upper opening and with a lid removably coupled thereto to form an upper chamber, the upper chamber having a central gear coupled to the water wheel with a common axis for rotation therewith, the upper chamber having two laterally disposed support gears mated for rotation in response to the rotation of the central gear, the support gears having upstanding projections for receiving and maintaining bars of soap thereon, the lid having a central threaded aperture with a bolt there through, the bolt having an operator controlled knob above and a plate there beneath for selectively applying pressure to the bars of soap, the sidewalls also having a port with a liquid soap injection port to selectively open and close the port at the discretion of a user;
• a lower component of the housing with a sidewall in a generally cylindrical configuration with a diameter slightly less than that of the central component and with an open bottom and a sponge mounted therein, a spindle coupling the sponge and the water wheel about a common axis;
• and
• a pair of handles, each with an arcuate configuration attached at first ends to the sidewall of the lower component at diametrically opposed locations and extending second ends for ease of manipulation of the system by a user.
