Handheld Retractable Cleaning Sprayer

Abstract

A device that combines a handheld retractable sprayer nozzle with an integrated soap/cleaning compartment for hot tubs, bathtubs, sinks, showers and other uses for residential, commercial, and industrial cleaning. The core elements are a nozzle with a rotating variable spray head, water selection knob, and distinctly, a compartment for tablets for soap, cleanser, etc. By using a self-contained closed system that eliminates additional suction hoses, containers, and multiple large soap containers this device will provide an easy to use product for end-users.

Claims

1. A handheld retractable nozzle is easily pulled from its base to extend the hose to a length desired by the user.

2. The water line is attached to a water source underneath the unit to easily access from the nozzle section of the device.

3. The uniqueness of this device, is the 3-way ball valve selector. This apparatus is attached to the water input line and connector, providing a single source for initial application of soap, rinsing and off selectors, with a simple turning of the ball valve. The ball valve selector is manually rotated for the user to determine which option is beneficial for the task at hand. With one rotation, the user uses the device for wetting the surface; another rotation, applies detergent; a rotation, again, provides a rinsing action or turn off water flow completely to the nozzle.

4. The nozzle sprayer allows for various options of water flows: stream, spray, mist, soak, etc.

5. The tablet holder sleeve, allows the user to insert a detergent packet into the unit with ease by way of the quick connect/disconnect flange that removes the ball valve section.
