1. A personal cleaning appliance for using pressurized water to clean the extremities of a person'"'"'s hand or foot comprising:
- a receptacle defining a cleaning chamber for receiving the extremity to be cleaned;
means on said receptacle at one end of said cleaning chamber for the insertion of the extremity to be cleaned;
jet nozzle means for discharging pressurized water into said cleaning chamber;
means for connection to a water source having a water passage there through leading to said jet nozzle means for passing pressurized water thereto;
passage means leading into said chamber adjacent said jet nozzle means for conducting a liquid cleaning solution separately from said water passage onto the pressurized water after discharge from said jet nozzle means in said cleaning chamber for entraining the liquid cleaning solution with the water; and
valve means between said reservoir and said jet nozzle means for controlling the flow of cleaning solution from said reservoir to said jet nozzle means;
said valve means being cooperable with said passage means for selectively opening and closing the same.

Abstract
The present cleaning appliance has a cleaning chamber for receiving the finger to be cleaned, a jet nozzle at the upper end of this chamber for discharging pressurized water onto the finger, a reservoir for a cleaning solution directly above the cleaning chamber, and a valve controlling the flow of the cleaning solution from the reservoir down into the cleaning chamber. The cleaning solution is conducted separately down to the jet nozzle where it becomes entrained with the water after the latter has just emerged from the jet nozzle.

2. A personal cleaning appliance for using pressurized water to clean the extremities of a person'"'"'s hand or foot comprising:
-
a receptacle defining a cleaning chamber for receiving the extremity to be cleaned and defining a reservoir above said cleaning chamber for holding a quantity of liquid cleaning solution; said receptacle presenting an upper end wall extending across the upper end of said cleaning chamber with said reservoir located directly above said end wall; said end wall of said cleaning chamber having orifice means extending downward therethrough for passing the cleaning solution from said reservoir down into said cleaning chamber; means on said receptacle at one end of said cleaning chamber for the insertion of the extremity to be cleaned; jet nozzle means positioned by said end wall of said cleaning chamber adjacent to said orifice means for discharging pressurized water into said cleaning chamber; means for connection to a water source and having a water passage therethrough leading to said jet nozzle means for passing pressurized water thereto; said orifice means serving in operation to conduct the liquid cleaning solution separately from said water passage onto the pressurized water after discharge from said jet nozzle means for entraining the liquid cleaning solution with the water; and valve means between said reservoir and said jet nozzle means for controlling the flow of cleaning solution from said reservoir to said jet nozzle means; said valve means being cooperable with said orifice means for selectively opening and closing said orifice means. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7)
