Abstract (en)

[origin: WO8403923A1] A spraying device, particularly a brush-like apparatus for the cleaning and/or massage of the body, particularly a tooth-brush (1) with at least one nozzle body (10'), may be coupled to a hollow handle connectable by a pipe to a water tap. The nozzle body (10') is preferably provided as a fluid oscillator free of moving parts. The hollow handle may receive inside a metering capsule a hardly water soluble active agent rod. To this effect, the handle comprises a removable oblong cap of which the front end may be coupled in such a way that it prevents the torsion with a tube (5) at the cleaning brush. The cap is further provided with a hand-actuable water stop member which may be displaced in an open position by hand in the direction opposite to a spring force and/or to the antagonist water pressure. The water stop member is conveniently a multistage slide valve piston (58) with conical terminal portion (72). The bristles (4) of the body cleaning apparatus are appropriately arranged on a bristle plate (3) which is secured to a bristle fixing portion (2) that may be readily changed by means of a snap connection, the bristle plate (3) and the bristle fixing portion (2) forming together with the tube (5) and a well-like recess receiving the nozzle body (10') the tooth-brush (1), for example.
