Description

Wash mitt

The present innovation concerns a wash mitt for cleaning a variety of things, including animals.

When washing cars, windows or other, particularly rough, objects, it is common to wear a pair of gloves to protect the hands not only against the detergent but also against mechanical injuries.

However, wearing gloves impairs the sensitivity of the hands, and when washing larger objects, one hand is needed to hold a hose from which water is supplied to the object, while the other hand is needed to hold a sponge or brush that is used to actually clean the object. Such a washing process is rightly perceived as cumbersome.

The aim of this innovation is to create a washing glove that simplifies and speeds up the washing process.

To solve this problem, it is proposed that the washing glove has an upper part which forms a cover for the hand and has a washing pad which is connected to the upper part, whereby a hand can reach into the opening between the upper part and the washing pad, whereby the upper part is provided with a hose connection and the washing glove is provided with water guide channels which lead to openings in the washing pad, from which the water is then distributed over the washing pad and fed to the object to be cleaned.

The upper part may consist of a plurality of interconnected polyvinyl chloride layers which form a

Form a cover for the hand and enclose it on all sides, while the penetrating water flows between the underside of the upper part and the actual washing surface to the outlet openings.

In a preferred embodiment, the front end of the wash mitt is closed off by a T-shaped dividing rib, so that the wash mitt is suitable for both right-handed and left-handed people.

According to another advantageous embodiment, the hose connection of the washing glove is bent and has an inward-facing flange in order to ensure an easier connection of a water supply hose and at the same time to reduce to a minimum the possible obstruction of the hand during the washing process.

In yet another advantageous embodiment, the hose connection is provided with a shut-off valve in order to prevent unnecessary water waste.

The washing pad can be made of a variety of materials, such as fabric, sponge or similar, depending on the requirements of the item to be washed.

The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing. They show:

Fig. 1 is a cutaway perspective view of a washing glove according to the invention and

Fig. 2 a cross-section through the wash mitt during use.

The washing glove shown in the figures has an upper part 1, a hose connection 2 and a washing pad 3.

The upper part 1 consists of a plurality of polyvinyl chloride layers, which are connected to one another in a watertight manner and thus form a cover for the hand, with a T-shaped separating rib 11 being provided at the front end; 12 designates a watertight layer on the inside of the upper part, 14 an opening on the back for inserting the hand into the cover and 13 a water-conducting space in the form of a channel 15 through which the supplied water flows to the washing pad 3. 2 designates the hose connection at the upper end of the channel 15 near the opening 14.

The washing pad 3 is firmly connected to the upper part 1 and has a plurality of outlet openings 16. The washing pad 3 is also advantageously water-permeable, so that the escaping water does not only pass through the openings 16. The washing pad can be, for example, a piece of cloth or sponge 31, depending on the requirements of the items to be washed.

The hose connector 2 has an annular groove 21 at its upper end and an inwardly directed flange 22 within the annular groove 21 to accommodate an adapter 4 and a stopcock 5.

The hose connection 2 can have a curved or any other shape to ensure freedom of movement of the hand.

During use, the hose connection 2 is connected to a water hose, after which the shut-off valve is opened to let the water into the channel 15. Due to the T-shaped

Thanks to the separating rib 11 on the front of the washing glove, it can be worn on either the right or left hand. The water flowing through the channel 15 of the washing pad passes through the openings 16 or through the permeable pad 3 and supports the cleaning when rubbing the object.

The washing glove according to the invention is also ideal for washing animals if direct contact with them is to be prevented, whereby bristles 31 can be provided especially for this purpose.

It is clear that the embodiment shown is not intended to be limiting.
