Scrubber-sander with cleaner dispensing means
First Claim
1. A scrubber body comprising a hollow body closed at its lower end by means of a bottom wall, said body including an upper filler opening for introducing a selected fluent material into said body, said bottom wall having an outlet opening formed therein for gravity discharge of fluent material therethrough from within said body, said bottom wall including valve means guidingly supported therefrom operably associated with said outlet opening and shiftable relative to said bottom wall between open and closed positions, a scrubber member supported from said body beneath said bottom wall and said outlet opening penetrable by fluent material, valve means including a valve plate closely underlying said bottom wall and oscillatably supported therefrom, said valve plate including a discharge opening formed therethrough shiftable into and out of registry with said outlet opening upon oscillation of said valve plate relative to said bottom wall, said bottom wall and valve plate including corresponding central portions, said central portions including coacting mounting means rotatably supporting the central portion of said valve plate from the central portion of said bottom wall for oscillation about an upstanding axis extending generally centrally through said body.

Abstract
A hollow body closed at its lower end by means of a bottom wall is provided and the body includes an upper filler opening for introducing a selected fluent material into the body. A false bottom wall is disposed in surface-to-surface engagement with and underlies the bottom wall and is oscillatably supported from the latter for shifting between first and second positions. The bottom wall and false bottom wall have openings formed therethrough which are disposed out of registry with each other when the false bottom wall is in its first position and registered with each other when the false bottom wall is disposed in the second position thereof, whereby fluent material within the hollow body may flow, by gravity, downwardly through the openings formed in the bottom wall and the false bottom wall. Structure is provided for yieldingly biasing the false bottom wall to the first position thereof and a support plate is supported from the body in spaced relation below the bottom wall and has fluent material openings formed therethough. The underside of the plate is provided with an interchangeable pad of scouring material, a brush body or a sanding head and the scrubber body of the instant invention may therefore also be utilized as a sander.
