Wash chamber for automated appendage-washing apparatus

A cleaning station, comprising:

• a rotatable wash chamber, the wash chamber including a first end and a second end;
• an appendage receiving cavity located within the wash chamber, the appendage receiving cavity adapted for being accessible by at least a portion of at least one appendage of a user through an opening in the first end of the wash chamber;
• and
• a nozzle inlay including a plurality of interconnected nozzles, the nozzle inlay being removably interconnected to the wash chamber, the plurality of nozzles being adapted to receive at least one fluid and to project the fluid into the appendage receiving cavity to at least partially clean the at least a portion of the at least one appendage of a person using the at least one fluid.

An automated cleaning station to at least partially clean at least a portion of at least one appendage of a user using at least one fluid, comprising:

• a body;
• a rotatable wash chamber associated with the body, the wash chamber including an inner member and an outer member, the wash chamber including a first end and a second end;
• an appendage receiving cavity located within the inner member, the appendage receiving cavity adapted for being accessible by the portion of the at least one appendage through an opening in the first end of the wash chamber;
• an annular cavity located between the inner member and the outer member, the inner member including a first surface and a second surface, the first surface facing the appendage receiving cavity and the second surface facing the annular cavity;
• and
• a nozzle inlay including a plurality of interconnected nozzles, the nozzle inlay interconnected to the inner member, the plurality of nozzles adapted to receive the at least one fluid from the annular cavity and to project the fluid into the appendage receiving cavity wherein:
• the outer member includes a cylinder portion and a frusto-conical portion, the frusto-conical portion including a flat surface and a sloped surface;
• the inner member includes a cylinder portion and a frusto-conical portion, the frusto-conical portion including a flat surface and a sloped surface;
• the outer member and the inner member are separate components that interconnect with each other to form the wash chamber;
• the nozzle inlay is connectable to a recessed portion of the cylinder portion of the inner member, the recessed portion including a first substantially rectangular portion and a second substantially rectangular portion, the first rectangular portion having a first width and the second rectangular portion having a second width, the first width being less than the second width, and
• the nozzle inlay has a first substantially rectangular section adapted to be received in the first substantially rectangular portion of the recessed portion, and the nozzle inlay has a second substantially rectangular section adapted to be received in the second substantially rectangular portion of the recessed portion.
