1. A washing device [1000] designed for single-hand operation for connecting to a fluid hose [3] comprising:

  • a) a housing [1100] having two sides, a first end and a second end, a front surface and a back surface;

    b) a handle section [1120] at the first end capable of being held by one hand;

    b) a supply line [1010] capable of directing fluid flow through the housing [1100];

    c) a hose connection [1030] for causing a fluidic connection between the fluid hose [3] and the supply line [1010];

    d) a head section [1140] at the second end having a plurality of nozzles [1710];

    e) an additive container [1600] having a container inlet [1610] and a container outlet [1630] leading to the nozzle outlets, for holding an additive and releasing the additive through the container outlet [1630] to the nozzle outlets when fluid enters through the container inlet [1610]; and

    f) a three-way roller valve [1900] located on the back surface within a length of a human thumb from the handle section [1120], capable of rolling about an axis which passes from side to side, causing the valve to be operated by rolling an exposed surface of the three-way roller valve toward the first end and toward the second end allowing simple single-hand operation, the three-way roller valve [1900] being coupled to the supply line [1010], the additive container inlet [1610], and the nozzles [1710], having three positions,i. a first position preventing the flow of fluid from the supply line [1010] through the fluid valve [1210],ii. a second position allowing fluid flow from the supply line [1010] only through the nozzles [1710], andiii. a third position allowing fluid flow from the supply line [1210], through the nozzles [1710], and through the additive container inlet [1610] releasing the additive through the container outlet [1630] to the nozzles [1710] to be mixed with the fluid from the supply line [1010].
